Hello Norman
With computers, I would never have thought of picking up a book called “Making Money With Classified Ads” but what a fantastic idea to apply the ideas to the digital age. What do you think is the most important lesson for the digital age in the book?
Thank you for the great idea
Luba
Hello luba. The formula for classifieds is to offer a benefit first and then tell how you can receive that benefit. For example Make $2000 a month selling books with classifieds. Start small and grow BIG. Name, Address. In this example I put two benefits.
Making money (a specific amount) and starting on a shoestring. This works in the digital age.
Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad I could help.
