50 States Classifieds is a website that offers both free
classified advertising serving the United States, and very affordable paid upgrades for those who wish to stand out in their state and category and/or advertise nationwide, while supporting our spam-free local online advertising community at the same time.
50 States Classifieds offer free ads to small
businesses, individuals, charities, Missing Persons advocates, and many
others: small local businesses, medium sized businesses, individuals, organizations, and anyone else who wants to place a free classified ad, as long as it complies with our terms of use. We are here to serve small local businesses, "mom and pop" businesses,
craftspersons, artists, FSBO home sellers, realtors, book sellers, people having garage sales, yard sales, estate sales, and other kinds of sales, as well as flea markets, swap meets, and other types of places that want to tell people about their brick and mortar establishments. Also welcome are individual people who want to buy, sell, trade, barter, or otherwise do business locally or nationwide in the United States of America. Our
website is intended to be a local marketplace for residents of all 50 States, and as such, we do limit our free ads to American residents or people who conduct business in the United States in US dollars. Hence the name, 50StatesClassifieds.com. We thank you in advance for understanding this limitation, and not posting any free classified ads originating from outside of the United States unless you are specifically doing business here, in US dollars.
An easy PayPal Shopping Cart System:
Have a paypal account? Put a "Buy
it Now" button
in your ad, and you can receive PayPal payments directly from buyers.
Great for users who are selling multiple items, or who want to run an eCommerce
website without a huge startup cost and a lot of time and hassle. A professionally
designed, SSL enabled eCommerce website can cost thousands of dollars for
creation, hosting, SSL certificates, and other related necessities. 50
States Classifieds offers an affordable alternative! You don't need an
expensive, complicated eCommerce website to have an online store. Use our
website instead!
What we're selling:
Browse products and services listed by ordinary people and small businesses
from all around the United States. The items they are selling include:
homes for sale by owner, used cars, computers, machinery, contractors,
and more. Shop for furniture, clothing, jewelry, beauty products, toys,
and other items. There are many other types of individuals and organizations who offer
quality products and professional services through our website. Look
around and see what treasures you find!

Easy to use, no matter what your skill level
With
the easy to use WYSIWYG ad editor,
you can post a really fabulous
ad with full color, and even
HTML if you desire - no programming
knowledge needed. Some people even
use their ads and featured storefronts
as an alternative to getting
their own website, which would
cost alot more.
Because you can add PayPal 'buy
it now" buttons
to your ads, people can pay you
for your product directly through
your ad - something very few
classifieds sites offer.
It's free? That sounds to good to be true!
Allow me to explain my reasoning. I am a web designer, and this website
is kind of the ultimate toy for me. Not only does it allow me to showcase
my own products and services and show off what I can do for potential
web design clients, it also gives my friends, family, clients, colleagues,
and other people that I know and love a place to sell their products
and services too. The site
has also drawn in over 9000 total strangers who have posted ads,
as of Jan 2010.
As Green Web Design, I provide not only web design, hosting, domains, ssl certificates, and other essential small business services at very affordable prices, I also provide free online advertising services for my clients, via this website and others. All of the small business owners
I know are great at what they do, but they don't really have the time,
inclination, or resources to do their own online marketing, because they're
too busy doing what they do for a living. That's where
this site comes in!
What it all comes down to in the end is that I get to
enjoy the challenge of building a robust website that changes with my
needs over the years, and you get to enjoy free advertising. Anyone can post an ad or two, for free, no strings attached, as long as they comply with our Terms.
If you appreciate
the site, please consider buying upgrades (aka chip in for the web hosting)
and you will have my sincere gratitude. Hint: A featured
listing is a great way to support our site, and show up above the competition
in a local category of your choice! :)
We reserve the right to refuse any ad, at any time, for not complying with our Terms of Use, linked to at the bottom of every single page of our website, and referenced frequently during the ad-posting process. |
