Where to promote to the unemployed?

    I'm creating a web site that provides a legitimate business opportunity.
    No fees, no costs, no mlm, etc. But how can I promote it? Any type of biz op, it seems, gets grouped in with all the other spam/bogus biz opps.

    I'd like to promote to job seekers/unemployed nationwide, but where/how can I do that to optimize the most exposure? I look forward to your thoughts/suggestions/ideas.

    Classifieds like Craigslist. Sales/Business jobs sections. Promote there because the people that are looking in these categories are looking for jobs. Either they are unemployed are just simply looking.
    Great way to attack that niche. Help that helps

    Thanks for that reply. However, it's my understanding that Craigslist won't accept business opportunities in their jobs section. Any suggestions will be apprecaited.

    Any and all classified sections.
    A lot of unemployed people doing job searches reach for craigs list.
    If you want to spend a little money throw some ads up in your local papers.
    There are also many online classified ads.
    Some cost money some don't
    Honestly just post your opportunity everywhere

    Craig's list will accept you just have to go through a different process.
    I can't remmeber it right now but I think it may come with a small fee.
    I've seen alot of business ops on craig's list so it's definitely possible and a great way to get your word out.

    It'd be kind of hard to come up with really good, targeted traffic using free advertising for biz opps, in my opinion. About the only avenues for this would be Twitter and perhaps Facebook (you'd have to build a reputation there and a fan page, IMO, if you're going the free route.)
