It has been a while now since @classifieds posted directly, as the prime purpose of this page is to resteem other peoples posts in which they are doing or promoting direct business one on one "business 101" here on Steemit.
Lets go back to the original post and see why @classifieds is promoting all the posts, pages and services here on Steemit that revolve around doing business 101 via Steemit:
“BUYING AND SELLING VIA SOCIAL MEDIA!”
Here are 4 crucial facts on this topic:
FACT 1.:
Classifieds generate loads of interest from readers.
FACT 2:
People are comfortable with social media and online social behavior, some have become addicts others have become totally reliant/dependent upon social media for just about everything, from cooking recipes to buying used cars and even real estate.
Social media is a now the 100% pure engagement tool between sellers and buyers, the online source/replacement of what used to be the classifieds section in newspapers. Social media has become the path to buying and selling anything, anywhere.
This has been written about on countless online business sites and blogs, here are just a few examples:
“Why the Future of New Business Is Social Selling”

“Fcebook and blog platforms have proven to be essential for salespeople”

“How To Use Social Media to Buy and Sell Real Estate”
“.....As we previously mentioned, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram are the most commonly used social media platforms for marketing real estate.....”

FACT 3:
So it is without a doubt that Steemit.com as a social networking platform shall be utilized by users for direct 101 marketing and business as have all the other social network platforms out on the market.
FACT4:
Most sellers need affordable advertising that is versatile and smart. Social media adverts fulfil all of the requirements!
Sales via social media are always an option. Whether your audience is local, national or international, even if your advertising budget is practically zero, social media is going to be a classifieds option to fit your needs. This cannot be said for most of the other options that are out on the market.
(Link to the intro post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@classifieds/welcome-to-classifieds-intro )
Steemit.com offers so much potential for everyone out there, especially since the announcement of Smart Media Tokens (SMT).
Everything from startups to actually doing business directly with people out there on an international platform.
The fact that Crypto can be used as a means of following through with payments or making downpayments and the simple fact that anyone promoting their daily business dealings here can earn capital in Crypto to reinvest in their online marketing campaigns is something that makes Steemit the MEGA POTENTIAL among all the social networks out there.
Lets not look at the cents, lets look at the reality, the fact that time is money and that the time invested by people doing business 101 or promoting their businesses are actually making money by doing it here, while on other social networks they have to solely depend upon services that they must pay for, such as advertising campaigns, those annoying pop up adds and so on, or upon their audience.
For example:
What is stopping a real estate agent from making an online portfolio here on Steemit?
With all the properties that they have for sale up on the net and on their homepage of the agency to put links to the relevant property described here on Steemit?
Why?
Well, think about it, they are driving viewers to their Steemit Wall, the same way they do when putting things up on other social networks, however here, they are using a professional site that is monetized, they are not linking to sites that have those annoying pop up adds, there is no need to register to see the post on the real estate agents wall here, all of which makes their approach to using a social network for promoting their business unique. Likewise from a promotional aspect, by linking their homepage and the relevant listing both ways, the number of backlinks just skyrockets, making their agencies homepage get right up there on the search engine listing as the number of posts rises.
Imagine that, that is just one idea!
How about the idea of a restaurant using Steemit to promote themself?
How about the idea of a food critic using Steemit?
How about the idea of a small time businessman/woman using Steemit to promote his/her works dreams and visions here?
and since the announcement of SMTs,
Why wouldn't all of the above and countless others out there use Steemit to help boost their existing legitimate business, without having to go through all the red tape that is needed if they were to go through the usual channels and options out there on the market!
THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON....
How does @classifieds work?
Well, we are trying to promote the idea that all business related posts should uniformly use the tag "classifieds" when posting.
This way it shall make it a much easier way for people to see what all is out there on this platform.
Doesn't get any simpler than that.
Does it cost anything?
NO. AND IT NEVER SHALL COST ANYTHING.
The purpose of this page is to promote the potential out there and to participate in the process of making Steemit and everyones posts that are for business purposes the best that it can be!
So all anyone needs to do is to use the tag "classifieds" and the post shall get resteemed here, likewise once this becomes common practice, there shall be uniformity on Steemit as far as the tag goes and even those who do not know about this page/service shall with a click of a mouse button or screen open up all the posts that use the tag classifieds!
Look forwards to seeing a lot more posts out there, follow us as from now on, not only shall @classifieds be resteeming, but also posting with information that may be interesting all the people who are interested in doing business via social networks.
Thanks for reading.
Yours gratefully
@classifieds.
