So enjoy using the classifieds - I hope you find them a very successful way

The classifieds are certainly free for all our members to use, but in order for them to be interesting enough for people to actually want to look at, and in order to work for you, here are some tips that will certainly help:

1 If possible, use your classified advertisement to give something away. This can easily be an informational product or report that while providing excellent value to readers, simultaneously demonstrates your expertise or knowledge. This product can further offer subscription to your newsletter, or invite the person to make contact with you via a strong call to action. Have a link to a sign-up form for the product so that you can collect email addresses and permission to email.

2 Include a photograph, otherwise your product or service will look boring and will get little if any attention. Keep in mind that the photograph must be a maximum of 300 x 300 pixels, and if you have any trouble at all uploading (or even shrinking your photo) the people at My Speed Business Network are extremely hospitable and helpful.

3 Absolutely avoid advertisements which sound like they are screaming or exhorting the reader to act. These are a turnoff for most people, and especially on a quality site like My Speed Business Network. In fact, if you write ads like that, this can be enough to get you banned. It’s about quality and professionalism and that’s why most MLMers and internet marketers are absolutely banned from the site.

4 As with any advertising, your headline is the single most important part. It should, in just seconds, alert any reader to exactly what the advertisement is about.

5 As with any advertising, ensure your ad builds interest as it proceeds, and culminate that interest in a strong call to action. This does NOT mean that you "shout" your call to action. Instead you simply tell the reader what action to take, and give them an excellent reason (containing logical and emotional components) to take that action right now.

6 Use the forums to share proposed classified advertisements with other members so that you can take advantage of group feedback and expertise to make your ad even more effective. This has the added advantage of sort of "pre-launching" your advertisement so that people are anticipating it! (And those that helped will also have a sense of ownership and pride in it.)

7 Feel free to use the classified section not only to help promote your business, but to buy or sell items that you have or seek or wish to swap, or even to request help or mentorship.

8 It should go without saying that all advertisements should meet the same standards as the rest of the site (as spelt out in our terms and conditions of service) and should therefore not contain bad language, profanity, or sexually explicit material, and neither should the ad be for a MLM product or an unauthorized internet marketing product. Unless of course the advertiser wishes to be permanently banned from the site :-)
