MARKETPLACE How To Sell Yourself on Fastlane

[MJ DeMarco]

Have a business? Product? Blog? Post your business venture here. This is your opportunity to be somewhat promotional.

This is your opportunity to let everyone know what you are doing (Advertise Your Gig!) without being labeled "SPAMMY!"


TERMS AND RULES

• ONE ad posting costs $49. This is a ONE-TIME fee and does NOT reoccur. To place an ad, please visit the user upgrade page and select "Marketplace Post."
• If you want a MARKETPLACE STICKY (top of the Marketplace forum category) the cost is $69 for every six months. This keeps the ad on the category's front page.
• The lifetime of the ad is 3 months minimum, maximum lifetime. (Will be lifetime if the marketplace forum becomes permanent -- this is a test run.)
• All ads must be approved.
• NO MLM or Network Marketing Pitches.
• NO solicitations for investment money.
• Affiliate offers are OK.
• All ads must be approved before going live.
• Edit function available for 10 days after posting.
• Once ad is paid, you have 72 hours to create your posting.
• ONE POST ONLY PER BUSINESS. You can continually refresh the thread with your own updates, provided they are legitimate. Unnecessary *bumping* and post pimping will result in deletions beyond the 3 month limit.
• POST BUMPING (UPDATING IT FOR THE SAKE OF UPDATING) WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AFTER 6 MONTHS. Natural *bump* updates (forum users other than the original poster) are OK. If you are looking for more exposure after 6 months, posting another ad is recommended.
• FASTLANE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS YOU CONDUCT AS A RESULT OF THIS FORUM -- DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE!!!
• FASTLANE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR POSTING.
• FASTLANE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVERTISED PRODUCT, SERVICE, or OPPORTUNITY.

Also, this "forum" is subject to removal dependent on how it goes!

Per request, I reactivated this forum for a test-run.

I also had to deleted some old postings in here which may have resulted in some lost rep $. I have a vague memory of who (but not all) so feel free to let me know how much is owed to you so I can resend those $.

This forum reactivation was due to this thread:

I'm in the red.

 

[TurboWagon]

Is this idea dead? Just clicked on "User upgrade" but don't see an option for "Marketplace post".

 

[MJ DeMarco]

It's currently indefinitely inactive.

 

[CarrieW]

I thought it was active again... I was hoping to use this feature LOL

 

[MJ DeMarco]

What are you looking to promote?

 

[CarrieW]

Can you send me a message I can link you. A friend of mine created a fb page owner/admin tool/app that curates content and you schedule it to post for you.... I actually would love feedback and critiques on the page video and program too. I didn't want to just post it anywhere tho

Did you and Carrie get a chance to connect on this? I'd like to get an advertisement up one way or another for the tool.

The marketplace is once again active. Some changes effective immediately.

• All ads must be approved by Fastlane staff. Why? Because I (we) want to vet whatever (and whomever) is posting. Typical things that I will approve are things that fall into the Fastlane framework. This could be anything from established businesses to folks looking to validate an idea.
  
• If your ad screams of "make money online" or sounds like something you'd find at the Warrior board, it will be declined.
• Any complaints about your ad/service or whatever you're promoting is grounds for removal, assuming it's approved.

Hello @MJ DeMarco I want to open up a thread but there is no pay button on this page:

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/account/upgrades

I believe it could be due to me having another thread thats currently LIVE in the market section - could we please delete that one so I can post a new one?

Thank you kindly.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Please try again @100k and @Tyler K

I am a bit confused about the one week expiration - does it mean I can post multiple offers but have to wait at least a week before I post another one. No worries I don't plan to go on a posting spree in the marketplace anyway. I rather consider a forum sponsor ship, but I was a bit unclear about why the payment said "1 week" when the marketplace offer stays there for a longer/unlimited time. Thanks for any clarifications - and I am glad you accepted my marketplace offer.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

does it mean I can post multiple offers but have to wait at least a week before I post another one.

Essentially yes, it's just a time frame so other offers can be created from the same user.

Your existing offer remains within the marketplace indefinitely and has no expiration.

Paid for an ad. Once its confirmed I can go ahead and post it? Thanks

Thanks for the update.

Quick question:
The marketplace ad price on the account upgrade page is ~$70, but the price from Viperion Publishing is still $29.95
Which one is valid?

Cheers

 

[AllenCrawley]

Which one is valid?

account upgrade page

There is no option to start a new thread in the Marketplace section.
Should I pay the fee for the ad?
