godaddy.com costs money to use. It doesn't have to cost you any money at all to get excellent exposure on the Internet.

As far as making cards and fliers of any sort, how about making them yourself? I make all of mine myself. Saves me money that way.

Thanks!
ok, well ill start googleing around and see what free sites are available, as for the free ads i guess thats in due time, im ignorant in these areas, but i dont plan to rest on what i know, i hear the only way to coast is downhill lol

Hi again, a2daj216!

I already know the best sites to use for free advertising and where to start websites for free that will also get excellent exposure for when people do searches for what you do, where you do it.

There are a few essential ones that you need to be on, if you want to do this kind of thing.

Interested...?

Thanks!

Please click on the following links. Most of what you'll find for a number of the first pages will be about me. It could be the same way for you.

Please click HERE, HERE HERE and HERE.

That's just a small sampling of what could happen for you, too!

Thanks!

Here is a quote of something that I've already posted a number of times on this site. There are still certain sites that it's essential to start on, though. I can help you with that.

How you word what you post, is very, very important! Also, some sites that are free to use for the posting of ads or websites, can be very picky about what you post on them.

Quote:
It's easy to advertise for free on the Internet and to promote your website, business, or anything that you are wanting to sell or promote! You just need to know the keywords to use as well as the Internet sites where you can advertise for free that get the best results when people do searches for things on the Internet. It takes time to set up the ads and/or the websites initially, but you will get results if you use the right words.

One thing that is important is to remember is that people aren't going to be looking for you by your name or even the name of your business, but will be looking for the service or products that you will be providing in the location where it is most easy for them to procure them.

I have a number of small businesses that I run. Most of the business that I get is from the free ads that I have placed on the Internet as well as words that I have placed in my websites.

Some of the best places to advertise for free for your website, business or things that you might be trying to sell are listed on the following links.

craigslist: san francisco bay area classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events

(To use Craigslist, you just find and post on the one that is near you.)
