Question
I am a self employed web developer and have been advertising on a classified site called Gumtree in Australia. I have gotten a few clients calling in from time to time however I believe expanding my postings to other regions as well as classified sites overseas can help me obtain more leads.
I was wondering if anyone has experience in doing this and how I can avoid being flagged as a spammer - as well as whether I should employ people overseas to post the sites or if I should just get an IP blocker.
Answer
Develop a manual process and take notes. Once you've had a little bit of success, hire a virtual assistant and provide them with a standard operating procedure with the types of jobs to reply to, language to use, etc.
