By now we've all found and used Craigslist and are familiar with the benefits such a site can offer us as virtual assistants in need of inexpensive (ie - FEE ) advertising - but did you know there are quite a few *other* sites you can use to facilitate the same goal?
When it comes to marketing, there's really no such thing as 'too much' - so check out the list of resources below and get your name and your business out there!

While we're on the subject, here's a great article entitled "How to Use Craigslist and Other Alternative Classifieds to Make Money Online"

This is perfect.
I love that I can log in here and find at least ten new items to check off my list of things I need to research.

Hi, thanks for the great sites. Another one to check out is Merchant Circle I listed my page there and was picked up by goggle very quickly.

Karen, thanks for the add! I'll update the original post to include it.
I'd taken a quick look at the site but passed it by in the meantime as I was just too busy to give it much attention - on your recommendation I'll give it another look.
Thanks again!

I use Merchant Circle, but haven't gotten any business from there.. If anyone has gotten a lead there, please let us know.. I did it as a trial and error It DOES get picked up by google.. So on that aspect alone, it is worth it..
