-Free Classifieds are more important than you think. They give
you experience writing copy before you plunk down hard cash
on more extravagant ads. Many marketers still manually post
their ads and browse the free classified afterwards. A few
interested readers will visit your site.

-FFA Links are important too. When you submit to the ffa
pages your website's search engine position increases because it
links to more sites. (Although it is temporary and you'll have
submit on a regular daily basis.) This will circulate your
name to a wider Internet market. And before submitting to
the ffa pages, get a free email account to receive the
multitude of ffa responses. You certainly don't want
these responses mixed with your regular email account.

That's it! Experiment with the methods above! And have
fun learning what works for you!
