Postlets Beta
I just recently ran across this website postlets. All you have to do is add photos, property info and features. The Web based program automatically writes HTML code that you can cut and past in these free classified ad websites.
backpage.com
craigslist
edgeio
Google Base
HotPads
LiveDeal
Oodle
Propsmart
Vast
Free Postlets
The best part about it its free, easy, and convenient. You don't have to write 10 different classifieds, you only have to write one. Check out the one I did for my sandy point home. This took me five minutes to fill out, now I can copy the code that postlest made for me and submit to all the above sites.
Postlets Will:
| create and host a dedicated classified ad on postlets.com | |
| automatically submit your listing to Oodle, Google Base, backpage.com, Propsmart, edgeio, Vast, HotPads and other classifieds search engines* | |
| generate the HTML code that can be used to post your ad on classifieds sites such as craigslist and LiveDealas well as on your blog or email newsletters |
Free Vflyer
Another service that I ran across on the web is vflyer . This does close to what postlets but, there is a couple more features that vflyer offers, postlets don't
Vflyer offers
Ubiquitous Distribution | |

SMS and Mobile Flyers: Send mobile versions of your flyer via SMS. Access the mobile version of vFlyer remotely to view mobile flyers, view traffic activity, check your contact inbox, view account status or forward flyers via email or SMS. |
These are great not only do you get a free listing tool for your sellers, but adding your link to your website when posting in free classifieds will actually drive traffic to your site. When I post in craiglist I get about 50 unique visitors from craigslist that same day. It is a good way to drive traffic to you site, these users are looking for real estate and are buyers. Just think if you did pay per click for these 50 visitors you would spend around 250 dollars on pay per click, depending on how competive the term is, just for these visits.
Good luck I hope you enjoy
