As anybody in the business knows, online classified ads get you more privacy, a broader selection of buyers, and a wealth of tools to help you keep tabs on your transactions. When compared to a newspaper, cyberspace is also a wee bit more spacious. There are billions of pages on the Web, and only a few dozen in your typical neighborhood rag. For you, that means a lot more space for your ad to say the least.With that space, however, comes great responsibility-and great potential. The extra room gives you the freedom to include as much product description and sale copy as you want.

You can't just slap together a whole bunch of information, though. You need to use the three special ad writing techniques that will attract buyers and seal the deal: attention, interest, and action.Attention. Make sure the buyer stops at your ad instead of the thousands upon thousands of others out there in cyberspace. Your ad's title is the first lure to grab his or her attention, and the first component of a catchy title is the item's best feature, whether it's the price, the item's rarity, or its popularity. Next, be sure the title includes keywords or other synonyms for your item that a buyer might use in a search.

For instance, a buyer could search for "automobile" instead of "car," "pullover" instead of "sweater." Interest. Once you have the buyer's attention, hook them with details. There is a direct relationship between the amount of information you provide and the number of sales you'll make. So describe the item as completely as possible-size, color, material, designer, model-and provide a clear, digital photo to finish the job where your words leave off. Even offer your prospective customer the item's history if possible.

Also, try to list as many possible benefits that your sales item could offer the buyer. Come up with some that the buyer probably wouldn't think of on his or her own. And zone in on specific benefits. Use what you already know about your target. For instance, if you were selling a car, you know that whoever is looking at your ad is in need of a vehicle.

If your car is compact, perhaps the buyer is in search of great gas mileage. Or perhaps it's power he or she wants if your car is a sports model.Action. Finish your ad strongly. Don't just suggest to the buyer that you offer a great deal. Tell them it's a fantastic offer that they can't pass up.

Use phrases like "Call me now before someone else does" or "Buy now, this opportunity won't last long." Be cordial while you're pressing the issue, of course. Thank them for reading your ad and make sure they know you appreciate their business.Most importantly, your customers will also value your honesty throughout the whole ad. So whether it's the attention, interest, or action you're shooting for, never lie or exaggerate. Go so far to include any defects if your product is not in mint shape. Your honesty will build trust, and trust above all else makes an ad work.

What's more, it makes for repeat customers.Remember, if you use all three of these elements-or four if you include honesty. When you're finished with it, it should read something like the two examples below.Example 1:Discover the beauty of a Forest Hill Home2500 sq. ft. home, 4 bedroom, 3 baths, double garage, upgraded kitchen, 12 ft. ceilingsThis open concept house is situated in a historical landmark district of Rhode Island.

The file size for one photo will be about 2/3 of one megabyte. For math fans, that works out to 1 kilobyte of storage memory controlling 2/3 of one inch square of picture.

"So whazza problem? Got my camera, it gots the mega-whatevers, my chick digs it, evateeng's cool, man. No?"

Not quite, cool dude. Because when you try to email your chick pics of her fine accoutrements, your email gonna choke after just a few hot shots. And if you try to upload some of the better images to www.neighbors-in-labor.com or some such amateur site, she might look a little diseased after the website downsizes her.

Why? Because even the biggest typical screen (17"), with one big picture filling the screen would only use about .8 megapixels.

If you wanted her picture to display on the screen the size of a 5x7 photo, that would only use 1/10th of a megapixel. You shot 3 megapixels too many, sucker!

That's not the only problem. Your mega pictures will choke her email system and possibly not deliver if you send too many at once. When you hit "Send", it will take a while and possibly forever.

If your photo were optimized for screen viewing, your 5x7 photo would use only about 40 kilobytes (4% of one megapixel!) of storage memory and would look every bit as good. You could send a bunch to her and all your friends.

Thus we arrive at the crux.

You could share and send 16 pictures using the amount of memory you used to store a single photo from your fancy-shmancy camera. But don't feel bad. You are definitely not the only one.

The solution, by the way, is to find a camera which allows you to take lower resolution pictures. If you see an art shot you might want to print out at 8x10, crank the resolution for that shot only.

For the bloated pictures you already own, get photo editing software which allows you to downsize the photos while monitoring quality and file size.

Adobe Photoshop is the big name in this field. When you get good at it, you can even create a "droplet", a small icon which sits on your desktop.

With Windows Explorer running next to it, drag the folder containing your fat photos over the droplet icon. The entire batch will be immediately downsized according to your instructions.

Now that is something to brag about

As soon as you do this your electricity costs will decrease. You leave this device plugged in 24 hours a day and by the end of the month you will see a saving of up to 40% on your electricity bill. There is no need for maintenance, results are immediate and the unit can pay for itself in a few days of industrial use.

Power Savers are completely legal, using strong scientific means of improving the efficiency of your electrical circuits. There are many models on the market catering to students in studio apartments to large industrial units suitable for factories. Power Savers cost between $100 and $200 for quality export-quality units.

They are expected to last for over 4 years so they make a very effective investment for all users.

Chris's average monthly bill has now stabilized at an average of $3,940 ? saving him 31% every month.

"The $1750 I'm saving each month would enable my business to employ over 7 full-time workers. I'm delighted with the results and expect this product is going to improve profits for a lot of businesses".

Power Savers have grown in popularity in Asia however they have not yet become common in developed countries. Products such as the Power Saver require extensive testing before they can be sold outside of Asia and these tests have only recently been completed.

Now that users are seeing immediate results from Power Savers it is likely that the popularity of Power Savers will continue to grow for many years to come and average costs for electricity will drop dramatically.
