Hello there I'd really like tips on this one . I'm about to launch a very cool , professional classifieds website , really well designed . The challenge I'm facing is .. How do websites like this get their initial ads ? See websites like www.gumtree.com or olx.com , how did they go about getting their initial ads ? How do I start getting the very first ads on my classifieds website ? Is it possible to contact gumtree.com and see if I can put some of their ads on my site to help them sell fast ? How would I go about contacting them ? My classifieds website will service a whole continent and I am dedicated to be patient and work very hard .. I'd really appreciate all the tips to get my first content and spread the site . I think once I get the first content , then it will be easy to continue marketing it ... Thanks a lot in advance.
