That's right, the first one hundred people to sign up and upload their auction photos/video get life time membership priviledges at no cost. The site is getting traffic, so go ahead, take a few minutes to register and put your stuff up!
This is a great way to advertise apartment or home rentals too. Prospective tenants can view your videos right from the comfort of their computer desk. Boy, I wish they had this when I was searching for a place to rent, would have saved me a bunch of fuel and grief... :)
You can put up your ad and have it remain for anywhere from one day to up to a full year, this is great for people advertising services, or sellers who have many bulk items to sell. Once your year is up, come back to the site and you can reactivate the listing with a click of the button.
One
of the difficulties in selling online has always been the "impersonal
reality" of online shopping. There is an increasing trend over the past
few years towards using videos to promote and sell your products or
services. Studies have shown that videos go a long way to selling and
answering customer questions and objections to convert them into a sale.
It
is very inexpensive to produce your product presentation videos. All
you need is a decent off the shelf video production package (there are
several on the market for under $50.00 USD), and you can use your
digital camera to record what you want to express. Most digital cameras
have a movie record function on them already, and some include video
editing software tools. You just need to convert and save the video in
a generally accepted web format like .windows media format, or .AVI
Best method of using video on Alaskana.us
Upload your video to YouTube and you'll see where to put the imbed url in your auction. This is much easier on our bandwidth and keeps the cost down.
Cellphone videos are the next best alternative. You can put a long video up and still keep it under the limit, (9.7MB).
A video shot from your dvcamcorder work okay, but it will be short.
In addition to images users can upload one media file (.wmv/AVI)
For a limited time, if you sign up now and list goods or services, you can use this site FREE of charge for ONE YEAR. After one year, it will be cheap. I mean DIRT CHEAP. I'm thinking ten or fifteen bucks a year, depending on the bandwidth use. But, we will see about that later. Go ahead, sign up now!
This website is for you! Are you sickened by ever rising prices on the main stream auction sites? My last bill from eBay was $170.00 for"trying" to sell a motorhome. (It didn't even sell, and I still got charged). Well enough of that bunk, here, you'll be able to trade locally with friends, neighbors and even make new friends. All inside Alaska. Reduced shipping charges are a big plus also.
List a home for sale, or even your business services! Do you sell cars? Not a problem. C'mon in, sign up and say Hi. Your webmaster, Rick Corrigan, Ketchikan, Alaska
