    What type of cleaning is it that you are wanting to do? It would be helpful to know that here. I have a number of small businesses that I operate. Most of my business comes from the free ads that I place on sites on the Internet. If you are interested in finding out about how to do that, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Hi, Houston28!

    I would still appreciate knowing what kind of cleaning it is that you are going to do, please?

    Placing signage of any sort or ads in local printed media of any kind can cost money. I do drive around and put up my small "shingle" though, advertising whatever service that I am providing. You know, the kind with the little pull-off tabs so that people can contact you. I have found that the best places to post these are any place that might have a public bulletin board. These places might be, grocery stores, restaurants, Laundromats, bowling alleys, quick-mart type stores, public libraries, etc.

    But, in my previous response to you, I mentioned that most of my business does come from the free ads that I have placed on the Internet. I am also in the Yellow Pages of the local phone book. But, I am thinking about getting out of that because I really do get more business from what I have placed on the Internet concerning the types of businesses that I have.

    If you are interested in how to advertise on the Internet, and what kind of words to place in your ads, so that your business will most likely beat any others of the same kind where you will want to be working, please let me know.

    I do hope that you return here! In the meantime, here is some additional information concerning a little bit of how to advertise on the Internet as well as sites where you can advertise for free!

    It's easy to advertise for free on the Internet and to promote your business or website! 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.

    Some of the best places to advertise for free for your website or business 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.)
