New To Offline Marketing & Have Some Questions

I can only answer #3.

I charge $35/week for 4 ads 3X a week. I do this very rarely, usually in combination with a website, for a landscaper for example.

It's a real pain to do CL because competitors flag your ads and you have to keep altering them slightly and putting them back up. Then there's the ghosting thing.

Thanks for that info!

Here is my opinion on how to handle pricing on below questions.


1. If you do Facebook ads for a client, how do you charge them and price it?

This service is normally included in a complete Social Media Marketing Package. If I was to price separately I would charge $250 to $500 monthly, depending on size of the account.

2. When it comes to posting on your clients Facebook or Twitter, how do you get the information on what your going to post or do you just make it up?

I ask my clients to provide content (articles, videos, blogs) and if they don't, I charge an extra fee to produce content for them. Also use RSS Feeds.

3. Do any of you do Craigslist ads for your customers? If so, what do you usually charge for something like that?

Yes, maintaining a Craigslist Ads can be time consuming as well. Same as Facebook Ads, $250 to $500 per month, depending on how often you post.

4. Im looking at offering Facebook Fan pages, Twitter Pages, Mobile Sites, Wordpress websites, SMS messaging, QR codes, some print advertising. Any other ideas of good services to offer to small businesses (most businesses in my area are under 10 employees type of businesses)

Video Marketing, Setting up Lead Generation Landing Pages and Sales Funnels, Mobile Applications for Andriod/iPhone, Google+, LinkedIn Marketing to name a few others.

About the #2 question...

Usually you would create a Google Alert for their keywords that picks up any content on the interwebs that would relate to their industry and just pick the good, helpful, interesting stuff and either just post links directly to those articles or you can curate them on your own site and post links to their website.

Thanks for the answers! sdentrepreneur if you charge $250-$500 for facebook ads, how much of that do you keep and how much do you put towards the actual ads?
