What is the best way to promote my local online trader group?

Question

I started a group to help people of all incomes trade, barter, and give away, but it's just for northeastern Alabama (outside of Birmingham). I've tried Craigslist, but should I post something in the local paper, even if it costs to do so? What do you all do to promote your nonprofit websites?

thanks!

Answer 1

That I can't help you with my friend..I really don't know..

Happy Friday!

Answer 2

I would post via groups like yahoo groups, and pay for ads on major search engines like google or yahoo.

Answer 3

Most grocery stores have POST IT HERE boards by the entrance. You can post your ad there. Go into yahoo groups just to name drop. Flyers to parents at the schools, library, myspace, facebook..Many ways!
