How to advertise a service ?
Im wondering how would i go about advertising a service the cheap and inexpensive way ??
I do not want to post on craigslist cause i live where craigslist is just flooded w/ bullcrap from other people.
I do not want to post ad in the paper.
Im looking for the post online locally and nationally.
thanks!

First, let`s not approach the ideas as "cheap and inexpensive", but as "effective". You may find hundreds of cheap ideas, but if they don`t provide a return on your investment then you would be better off finding the funding to invest in a high-cost/high-return strategy.
Find out where your market is, or is going to, for information. Then use some of the strategies already provided to begin getting in front of them. Remember, repetition is key so stay as visible as you can.
Good luck!
Thank you for your valuable reply. I would like to say that, what about those Services that are a mix of both Products and Service? I have one that is "sold" on Marketplace, but that's just the "Starter Kit" that covers the first few months of service, but from then on out it is pure service/subscription cost. If I could list it in a Services forum, would it get removed because it's sold as a Product first?
Hope that helps!!

You can also upload videos while pitching for your services on Instagram and Facebook stories.
Hi,
As you may have know there are no free lunches, to promote a service you will require some budget. However, there is high budget required for PPC ads, if you have low budget then try SEO to get organic traffic to your services.
Hello,
If you want to promote your services,
Print media would be a better solution to your advertising problem. It's one of the cheapest yet best means of getting exposure to your business.

Well if you could share what it is that you want to post than maybe we could find a better solution that would work for you. Social media is free but without a following its not going to do very much for you.. Craigslist is probably the biggest classified site but there are others just do a google search and you will find them.
Does you city have community bulletin if so maybe the offer free to low cost posting on it. I don't know if you are religious but churches often have a monthly bulletin they pass out and usually has places for advertising.
I hope this helps
Thanks,
