Tips on Posting Classified Ads 

how to write effective classified advertisements

==> Make your title/subject interesting. That is the first thing viewers see and if it catches their attention, they will certainly click on it and view your ad.

==> Add good related pictures to your classified ad. Pictures speak a thousand words.

==> Write good ad copy. The length does not really matter as long as you list the benefits and features of your product.

==> Let the readers know why they need your product and why it is better than other products available.

==> Add your classified ads to the correct categories. People select on categories to view ads and if you are selling mobile phones on pets category then no one will be interested.
