Each Freak Site has it’s own categories around the site depending on the demographic and market niche’. Travelers Freak for example has 12 top-level categories. You can use our listing sites to create up to 5 different types of ads which you can select during ad posting or reposting. It is not possible to switch between different ad types while it is live. Depending on the selected Freak Site the available types are:
- Sell
- Auction (Make Offer)
- Buying
- Exchange
- Gift
We do not have traditional online auctions, but instead you can contact a seller by joining and logging in or reach out to them via their website to make an offer.
Freak Sites is designed as a series of classified ad websites. We drive traffic to our site using our exclusive multi-tier affiliate program, so that our affiliates can get paid for creating sales of our unique subscription model. The more affiliates driving visitors to the site, the more likely your ads are to be seen.
However, you will want to grab the links to your ads and also promote them using social media, videos, etc. as well as join as an affiliate and put a link on your site or social media as well, so that more people have the opportunity to see your listings. We highly recommend that you link your ads to your accounts on social media to gain more exposure and share your ads with others to gain more traction for your ads. If we have 100 subscribers reaching 100 people about their ads, that’s 1,000 potential visitors and if 100 people do this, that’s 100,000 potential viewers to see your ads.
From dropdown you are selecting general location of your advert while selecting it on the map you are being more precise. Also if the location search of the marketplace is set to geolocation, people who search by location will find your ad easier. Location Search of the marketplace can also be set as list of predefined values in which case value from the dropdown is being used.
Freak Sites has a “Keep It Simple” advertising Marketplace:
- Subscriptions
At Freak Sites we’ve created a Subscription based advertising package that is $49.95 per year for up to 10 ads per year, per website that you join, so that’s only $4.95 per ad. This is ridiculously inexpensive advertising for an entire year, it’s about 40 cents an ad per month with no limit to the number of views or charges per click! All ads will expire at the end of the 365 days of your subscription unless you renew for the next year
In order to retrieve phone number of the seller go to the seller’s profile page or any of their ads and you will notice a block with their phone number, if it’s listed or you can email or text them if they are not providing their phone number.
If you wish to start messaging conversation with the seller first create an account. Once you have created your account navigate to any of their ads and you will notice button for sending a message. List of your messages is available on your profile. There you have AJAX messaging system where you will be able to continue conversations.
One of the benefits of our sellers paying $49.95 a year is that if people have to pay to use the service it will limit the number of “scammers” who prey on people on free classified ad websites. The person must have a PayPal account to join a Freak Sites and they have paid $49.95 a year to each individual website.
Of course, there is no guarantee that we won’t have people who try to use our website to create a way to scam people, so as a buyer always verify the seller is for real by doing your due diligence. Check their seller rating from other buyers and sellers.
