Blogging MarketPlace Launched

Posted by on 14th Nov 2007 Site News 10 comments

I am pleased to announce that the Blogging MarketPlace is now online at BloggingTips.com.

What is the Blogging MarketPlace?

The marketplace is a simple classifieds facility which allows bloggers to place advertisements for writing jobs, banner ad sales and more.

Currently, there are 5 categories :

  • Advertising – For Sale – Advertise your remaining banner and text links for sale.
  • Advertising – Wanted – Put an ad advertising the type of blog or website you are looking to advertise on.
  • Link & BlogRoll Exchange – I hope this will be useful but fingers crossed it won’t be abused!
  • Writing Positions – Paid – For advertising paid writing positions
  • Writing Positions – Guest – For advertising guest poster positions.

I plan on adding more categories when the service becomes more popular.

Blogging MarketPlace

How much does the service cost?

Currently it is free to post an ad for 30 days. I use the word ‘currently’ because unfortunately free services like this sometimes get abused. I will be manually approving all listings so that quality is maintained however if quality was to drop in the future then I may introduce a $5 or $10 listing fee. With manual approval though hopefully the service can remain free and it there is always the option of moving one or more of the categories to a forum room.

Suggestions & Feedback Welcome

The marketplace is 90% complete at the moment. For the most part I know what needs to be fixed etc however I appreciate the heads up in any error you find.

You should find the marketplace very easy to use. All you need for registering is an email and a password and submitting an ad literally takes two minutes!

If you have any suggestions on how to improve the section please let me know.

You can checkout the marketplace here.

    Like many others will say – you just beat me to it! I think after the massive movement of blogs and blog advertising lately, that this is a much needed service.

    Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it develop :)

    Very nice. And its simple to use and navigate. But I think the icing on the cake is that it has its own RSS Feed! :razz: Outstanding work.

    Kevin,

    This is a really great addition to Blogging Tips. I'm looking forward to seeing it develop into a great resource.

    It's a beautiful MarketPlace. My question is how did you do it? Is it a plugin? If you programmed it yourself, are you willing to sell it? :)
