In the Land Down Under, OzFreeOnline is fast becoming the only way to do e-business. Australians are a big fan of alternatives—and OzFreeOnline is precisely that.

From the very start, the originators of the free online classifieds have declared the site will be unconditionally free in its services. The Internet, after all, was created with free flow of goods and ideas in mind. In a land where almost all the good and great stuff are free for everyone (beaches, sunsets, wildlife, nature in general) it''s not surprising that OzFree comes off as a certified hit among Australians.

Australians are typing at their keyboards more enthusiastically than ever, recognizing the fact that, contrary to popular belief, the best deals and bargains can actually be found in the Internet. Indeed, that''s what OzFreeOnline has dedicated itself to: fast and sensible way to trade goods. OzFree is where Oz converges. Newbie and regular traders, professional businesspeople, and the average surfers just wanting to make some cash from their used stuff—all of them mingle in one gorgeous page.

Gorgeous, because OzFree is optimised for every major search engine, as it is run by a devoted and expertt group of search engine specialists, programmers, and web developers. Translated into layperson''s terms, this means OzFree always appears on the first page of search results. Every person who types "Victoria real estate" or used cars in Perth" then will no doubt be directed to the site, which means more exposure—and response–to your ad. As simple as that.

And what could be simpler than FREE? OzFree offers FREE registration and, needless to say, limitless access to comprehensive listings of cars, real estate, jobs, auctions, virtually anything. In light of recent fee increases by major online classifieds competitors, this is something OzFree and its loyal fan base can be freely proud of.

Make History, Not Delays!

OzFreeOnline: For everything you want to buy and sell

In 1981, MTV launched a radical new type of network, one whose programming delivered music 24/7. The very first music video they aired was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles. Fast forward 25 years and the latest anthem could be titled; You Tube killed the Television Star.”

Or has it?

Television has enjoyed the status as “the” advertising medium of choice for the last 25 years or so. However, the outlook is grim in TV land and if it’s bad there, how much worse can it be in other media outlets such as newspapers?

The facts are that advertising revenues are plummeting and television is losing viewers at an alarming rate (McKinsey & Co. report that television audiences numbers are roughly half of what they were back in 1990.) According to the San Diego Business Journal, “the outlook isn’t getting any better for advertising via traditional media. But where television, newspapers and radio end, the Internet brings loads of potential when it comes to maximizing return on investment.”

They key word in the SDBJ quote: “potential.”

It’s time for a reality check. Television, newspaper and radio still have the ability to deliver your advertising message to hundreds of thousands of consumers. The problem is the message they’re being paid to deliver is usually boring and ineffective.

Want to know the reason for the “gold rush” to the internet? Because advertisers think the web will provide the “magic marketing bullet.”

The internet is being viewed as the “easy” way to market. Eight years ago the mindset was, “create a web site and watch the customers pour in.” Today, it’s just slightly different lyrics to the same tune. Just create a video, upload it to You Tube and watch the customers pour into your website, right?

The underlying problem still remains. If you don’t know why customers are buying, then creating a captivating You Tube video will do nothing for your bottom line. PERIOD.

If you don’t know why your customers are buying it doesn’t matter what kind of ad you create, whether it’s

1) a television ad

2) a newspaper ad

3) a magazine ad

4) a radio ad

5) a billboard ad

it’s still not going to work at bringing customers to your business.

You’ve got to know who your customers are and what they want out of life. Then you can begin marketing EFFECTIVELY to them. When that happens, then the internet just becomes another communication channel.

The death of traditional media has been greatly over-estimated and definitely over-reported. Don’t kid yourself. The internet can be JUST as ineffective as traditional media at getting your message out. Heck, the internet can be even MORE ineffective than traditional media if you make sure to use lots of Flash and very little HTML when you create it.

The key to effective message delivery is to first make sure the message is efffective. If you’re not saying the right things, don’t blame the messenger when the public turns a deaf ear.
