I have stumbled onto an interesting concept today called video classifieds, which allows you to attach a video to your ad, I thought that was pretty cool. The web-site I was browsing around at is listasaurus.com and it has quite a lot to offer if you take the time to check it all out. What caught my attention was on their home page it states: “Get Paid To List Your Ads and that certain ad categories are eligible for cash rewards-we pay you for listing with us!” And I love the name of the company Listasaurus of which the definition is: 1. A dinosaur that loves to collect things and list them on-line. 2. Any dino who keeps his community from being extinct by supporting local merchants and individuals. Sounds interesting and cute doesn’t it.I cornered and showed a friend the site and he asked me to email the link to his email so that he could get a better look at it, he loves these types of sites, he is always buying and selling things on eBay and a few others too. He liked the idea of being able to attach a video to an item being listed, it would be a very useful tool indeed.
They are advertising that auctions are coming soon, that is something that I have never participated in in real life or online, but I’d like to try sometime either way. So I’ll keep checking back and see when they get that up and running and see what that is all about.
Why video classifieds? Think about it, how many commercials do you see a week on tv? How much do advertisers spend on those ads? Billions! Why, because video sells. It brings a level of comfort to the viewer. Video is the next evolution for the classifieds market.
