Q: |
How does this work? |
|
A: |
You start by
registering. All you need to do is fill out a short form. You
can then post your ad.
To post an ad, you would be first asked to select a subject category, such as 'services
and skills', 'shared office space',
'equipment', etc. You will then have plenty of space to write up
your ad. After you hit the submit
button, your ad will be posted immediately, and other users can
view it on the search results page.
Postings
can be searched by date posted, location, and keywords, so make
sure you describe your requirements in full sentences and use
appropriate keywords. |
