Do I need an ad with images and pricing?

Images:

If you are a FreeLancer, you will get about 10 times as many looks if you have an image in an ad. You will get 10 times more again if you are placed in the slider at the top.

If You are a Client, it is not a have to at all. The freelancers will be looking for your description of what you need done.

Pricing: is up to you.

Are there instructions for adding my ad for the freelancers or as a free lancer?

How is This?
**Small note on images:: best size is around 700*350 pixels, especially if you are using the slider up top.
1.   You must be a registered and or Freelancer user and logged in
2.   Click the "Add New Advert" Button on the left
3.   Title = Title of your ad or need
4.   Category = The category you need your ad placed in - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT Freelancer or Client only - client is looking to get work done.
5.   Location = All is world wide
6.   Address = The advertised address, like "123 Main St, Greenville, SC" - important for the map when others view your ad
7    Postal Code = Zip Code
8.   Expires = 45 days or 90 days - If more is needed, contact us and we may be able to extend.
9.   Intro Description = This is like your head line
10. Description = Full Description of your offering. We suggest be extremely thorough. You have plenty of room. List everything you can think of.
11. Meta Description = A description you would use for web searches for engines like Google
12. Keywords = Search words for search engines to possibly send people to your ad, not just relying on Classfied2
13. Contact = how do you wish to be contacted. You can place a Phone, email, or any other you wish.
14. Website = Place your website url here like "http://www.free-lancer2.com" Handy if you have a website and it secves as a link.
15. Video = Any Youtube or Vimeo video you wish to show.
16. Price = Price and wording as wished like "15.00 to 995.95"
17. You must agree to the T&C
18. Promotions "First" and or "Special" will get you into the banner rotation at the top. The others will accentuate the ad for more attention.
        They vary from 1.00 to 2.00 and are optional. If you choose one or more PayPal will come up so you can pay with your card and/or PayPal acct.

How to get through the Membership form?

Basically, it is just to answer all the questions and fill in where necessary.

Once you have completed, it should be approved withing 24 hours or less.

Can I have more than one ad?

Yes and No.

If you do graphics and you do programming or other, yes you can.

If you have a company/association/etc., you can have ads for each person doing work. They should each have to be a member but a necessity. The ads do have to be different including images.

Repetitive ads will be removed though. Repeating offenders will have to go. We would hate that.

Say you have a company that has:
Graphics design, PHP programming and wordpress sites
Then 3 seperate ads would be a good thing for you.
All can be under one membership or 3 heads of departments or 3 seperate people.

I need to submit an ad as a member. Where do I do that?

You must be a member first and looged in as such.

There is a bottom menu where you will find a submittal form. Click that and choose freelancer in all aspeccts needed.
You can add up to 3 images, so make sure the most important one is first.

This may help a bit. Category is for free lancer - Location will always be World Wide"
If you place your full address in the ad, there will be a map showing that when it is selected.

How hard is it to post a submittal?

Great big button on the main page will help a lot. Be sure the category is marked client and leave out the address if you don't wish Freelancers to know where you are.

Is this truly Free?

It is free to post a submittal, however, becoming a Freelancer is a small fee so they can post an ad as a freelancer.

We do charge for being on the slider(top), marking with BOLD, and a couple other things, but we do not chage a client or Freelancer for work they contract together. We also do not interfere with either party. We don't handle the money or watch out for either party.

If we get complaints about anything, we still don't get involved. If a freelancer has a history of problems, he is permanently removed.

Are you competing with other freelancer organizations?

NO! We really have not looked real hard at them, but we know that they usually do a bid system and they charge for it.

One we heard of charges you in the $20.00 area to make your need more visible. They take 10% of what the Freelancer gets. They try to charge the Freelancer for tests to make them look better. They do not let client and Freelancer know very much until a SALE is made.

Our Freelancer members are welcome to contact you, and can put URLs up so you can see work they did and talk to you by email, phone, skype, or any other means to make sure you both know what you are doing.

You are welcome to contact them as well. Any way that is comfortable.

All we can ever make is about 5.00 from how ads are done. That is all we ask and that is voluntary.

How long is a Freelancer membership good for?

It has to be renewed every year.

How long are the ads good for?

Client ads are good for 45 days. We feel the Project should have been taken care of well be fore that.

Freelancers ads are good for 90 days and one year for the membership. You can edit your ad in any way during it's time

We may change this at anytime
