You get better exposure if you advertise on the Internet. Think about your ad reaching a state-wide or nation-wide audience. If you are selling things this is great for you. If you are a work at home entrepreneur, then you can offer your services to a larger audience for free.

No matter what you are advertising you will reach a larger audience. It will be state-wide or nation-wide. This means a lot more potential customers or buyers for you.

If you work from home and are a web designer, photographer, or graphic artists, this is a good place for you to offer your services. There are many other services that you can offer to do from home. Businesses often outsource these kinds of jobs to save money by hiring a full time contractor.

Better deals are often found online for items that you may be looking for. It is cheaper for the seller to sell on these websites than they would pay using E-bay. They also reach as wide an audience as E-bay. This is great for both buyers and sellers. Sellers be sure to make it clear that shipping is extra, and also include a good description of what you are selling, and a contact e-mail address. You should make a separate e-mail account just for this.

Are you selling some puppies or kittens? This is a great way to find them a good home.

Be sure that the method of payment is agreed upon by both parties.

When placing an ad be specific about what you are offering. If it is an item, be detailed about it. If you are offering a service give your years of experience and qualifications, and be prepared to show references and past work, or a portfolio. If you are offering a employment be specific about the experience and qualifications required for the job, and give a salary range and post if there is a benefit package or not. Specific ads will get more interest.

If you are posting a job, make sure to include a description of the job, the amount of experience required and if there are any degrees or certificates that one needs to qualify for the position. You should also mention if there are benefits included when hired, and also a wage range. Then sit back and let the website work for you.
