Nah not canley or cov. The only way they get stuff free round there is by nicking it. I'm on about where I live in Kent.

Hahaha, good point and even if you were I would be fine... I'm not targetting canley

EDIT: and I'm sure cov is big enough for the both of us

It's actually possible to make loads of money doing this but depends on how well you write up your ad. Seems you have hit a good spot on the paper and making good use of the ad space.

I just checked out my local papers web site and they don't offer such ad space.

Gregm · 03-06-09, 09:53 AM

just a thought on this one, as my local paper wouldn't be of any use for this purpose, you could use local papers from different areas?

Where abouts do you live?

I kinda realised that but want to keep my main site up and running. Next time I think I'll advertise another site with a redirect, therefore cuts out the middle bit where they'll lose interest. We'll see what Thursday brings! Need to get back home and start whacking up a few posters. If I do anymore in Guildford it doesn't make a difference, pretty much everyone has seen it and knows it's me doing it! Bring on hometime!

Apparently so yea!

You advertise much around bath? (I live in Weston so planning on attacking bath with freebies!)

tombsc · 03-06-09, 11:52 AM

No. Can't be bothered, although I have a stash of free business cards that need something doing with them.
I keep thinking about posters etc but I'll never do anything about it!

tombsc · 05-06-09, 09:04 PM

Can't see your ad in the chronicle?

mlc123 · 05-06-09, 09:49 PM

to electrogirl: i already did a small advert in the classified part of the plymouth herald and got zilch from it!! plymodians are hard to please!

i might try a bigger one nd pay more though...

Thank you. Got any ideas?

mlc123 · 05-06-09, 10:13 PM

As i said i might try a bigger advert. more risk (hopefully)= more gain.

have to design it and stuff first.

i have just been handing out business cards in school...
