Can a Small Business Advertise for FREE?

Many small businesses automatically assume that you must pay for advertising. Not True! There are many different ways to gain advertising for free or at little cost. You can barter services or place an ad in online directories. The most famous of the free online directories is Craigslist. Last month Craigslist had 609.2k visitors to their site. That is huge and when you look at the overall # of visits at 2,413,932, you can see that the chances of your ad being viewed are quite good.

There are many other free directorys out there that are general in nature or who have targeted audiences. Simply go into Google and run a simple search for "free business directory listings" and you will see 85 pages of directories.

Some directories will keep your ad as a permanent ad and others have a specific time frame that the ad will run. You also want to pay attention when setting up an ad, as many directories feed to other directory sites. This cuts down on the # of directories you actually need to list with.

Take some time to increase your internet presence and get listed today! For more advertising advice contact Michael D Harris Jr @ Ardynn Media
