How to Post Free Classified Ads Online
- 1). Create the posting. Some websites require you to complete a posting form online, while others provide you with a blank space to write whatever you wish. Make sure to run a spellchecker on your ad to catch any misspellings.
- 2). Visit the website and select a category for the advertisement. Depending on the website, you can choose from a variety of categories. For example, on eBay Classifieds, if you are posting an ad for a puppy, you can select the dogs and puppies category under pets.
- 3). Preview the ad and make any necessary changes. This is your opportunity to double-check the ad to ensure all information is included and displayed correctly. If possible, have another set of eyes read the posting before you submit the ad to the website.
- 4). Submit the ad for publishing. Usually, the ad publishes within a few minutes. In addition, most websites allow you to update a posting after it is online.
