Salisbury News Is Changing The Local MSM

Not only are the local Media sources trying to keep up with Salisbury News, Salisbury News is forcing change and here's more proof. At one point and time WBOC had offered FREE Classified Ads. However, last year they chose to start charging a fair and reasonable rate of $5.00 per ad. They went from having Classified Ads everywhere to maybe 2 or 3 ads per week. Salisbury News not only offers FREE Classified Ads, Salisbury News gets results. That being said, WBOC is now offering FREE Classified Ads once again, making life much better for many thousands of local people. Try placing a Classified Ad in the Daily Times and wait till you hear how much it will cost you.

Normally I wouldn't put up such a Post HELPING another group to put stronger competition against Salisbury News but you know what, they deserve it! ANY time we can help take another advertiser away from the Daily Times while giving YOU another way to sell/market/advertise things, I'm all about that and my hat is tipped to WBOC. TOGETHER we can offer you traffic and HELP you in a very tough economy. By the way, I will add. DON'T think the local Police aren't following our ads very closely. If YOU are trying to sell a stolen item, better watch out because they too are interested in the product you think you're going to sell.

Below is the message WBOC is sending out to encourage more people to advertise for FREE. After all, they too sell advertising from their Website and the more traffic they can bring in, the more they can charge their advertisers. OH, maybe you didn't know that's how the Daily Times makes their money too? You got it! You should NOT have to pay for classified ads and believe me, it's going to become a thing of the past with Newspapers while Blogs offer these services for FREE!

Can you feel the tidal wave coming Daily Times? My guess is it's going to swallow you up like a sea shell and you're going to drift away never to be seen again. Great work WBOC! GO HERE to view their FREE Classified Ads.

Thanks, Joe, for your service and promoting WBOC's. In these hard times, it's great if everyone can work together.

If you keep this up, the DT will have to make their classifieds free, and that is their only source of income. You should feel horrible that you enabled this horrific disaster; they will have to close up shop, adding to our ever increasing unemployment!
Will this make a difference in our community? YES! Things will be so much better!
