Are Newspaper Classifieds A Thing Of The Past?

by Jon Tees

I still have some limited success with selling affiliate products and even my own stuff in newspaper classifieds. But has anyone else found that they've declined quite a bit and become an avenue for scammers/would be scammers and those looking for insane, unrealistic deals?

      I think it depends on readership and location. Test out different marketing vehicles and track the response.

I think for you it could be better to advertise on craigslist or some other website.
      Yeah, there still are lots of companies placing their ads on newspapers and it still works.

    I think that you can still find really good deals with the newspaper and I would tend to agree that it's a different demographic but I am constantly trolling the papers and finding things there that aren't listed ANYWHERE else.

      Look for offers that appeal to the 50 plus age group because
      they are the main newspaper readers.

      Best,
