Howdy. And thanks for checking us out!
We invited you to this special page to introduce you to our new classified ads website. Our site is just for us. It’s only for Mitchell, Avery and Yancey counties. When we first thought about whether a site like this would work, we found that a lot of people are frustrated with Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. So here we are, offering some solutions for people who want to buy, sell and trade stuff– only with their neighbors.
Our website is brand new. So please understand that you won’t see us brimming over with ads. Some categories may even be vacant at this very early stage. We’re only getting started, and we’re building content by encouraging people like you to submit ads. More ads = more viewers!
Our Website is called Mayland Marketplace, but for your future use, a quicker web address to get you here (and easier to type) is our828.com.
So here’s what I’m proposing for you:
I’ve chosen you to place all the free Personal Ads you’d like, and they will run for up to 3 months. No obligations, no hidden tricks. It’s totally free. Your ads will help us build content to kick start the site, and you’ll get some marketing exposure for selling your items or your services. Both of us will benefit, and what’s not to like about that?
Place as many Personal ads as you’d like. And if you also have a business, feel free to place Commercial Ads too.
Obviously, you may not get big results right at the beginning– not until our readership starts to grow. And it will grow… when other people like you also post their own ads.
We’ll do everything on our end too, to get ads in each category and to get eyeballs onto the website. You’ll see our advertising appear around the area. And we’ll have sales reps out contacting businesses.
To start right off, you may be the only ad in your county in your category. (Later on, of course, other people may start placing their own ads.) But you’ll be there at the beginning, and grow with us.
OK, I’ll place an ad. What’s Next?
You create an account, then you place your ad. We approve it and then it goes live. That keeps the spammers and bad guys away. Here are the steps:
- Register your new account here.
- Within a minute or so you’ll get an automatic verification email with a link that you’ll need to click on, so we’ll know you’re a real person. Nothing happens until you verify your email address. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder. If it’s in there, mark us as not spam. And welcome!
- Now you’re ready to log in and create your free Personal ad!
- I’ll approve your ad and change the normal expiration date of 30 days to read 90 days. So your ad will run 3 months from its approval date. You’ll get a heads up email when it’s about to expire.
