TallahasseeGrapevine.com thinks they are onto something here: Not only are their classifieds FREE and LOCAL but you can Stream Video To Yours!
Imagine if you want to sell your motorcyle... now imagine being able to post a free classified ad on a high traffic site with a video of the motorcycle revving up and driving off!
Imagine looking at ads for Free Puppies and being able to see a video of the puppy making eyes at you!
Most people can take videos on their cell phone or own a Flip Video Camera. But then what?
Take a short video of the item you want to sell with your cellphone or video camera. Upload it to your computer.
Now you may or may not have your own YouTube account. They are Free and Simple to Start and Simple to Use. Go to www.YouTube.com and start one. This is the simplest and fastest site to upload video to.
Now come to TallahasseeGrapevine.com and sign in with your email address and password. Hover your cursor on the CLASSIFIEDS Tab and Click on "Create a Listing"
Fill in the blanks. Choose the correct category. Below this area you will see a little designer. At the top are 4 rows of buttons. For the most part, this works like Word or other word processing programs. You can change the font, the color of the words, center, bold, etc etc.
You can also add a photo by clicking on the Green Button on the top row. You can then Resize that photo by clicking on the photo first (to hightlight it) then clicking on the other green button in the top row.
To add video: Go to your video on the YouTube page. Highlight the URL Address at the top of the page. Right Click on it and click on COPY.
Go back to your Classified ad. Make sure your Cursor is in the spot you want the video to be. In the bottom row, click on the YOUTUBE button. A box will pop up. Put your cursor in the line in this box. Right Click then click on PASTE. Now hit the OK Button.
A box will appear in the design box that says "Flash" all over it. Once you are done creating your ad, Hit SUBMIT (below the design box) and your ad will be posted on the site immediately. That "Flash" box will be the video from YouTube.
Once the item is sold, you can delete the video on YouTube and delete the classified from The Grapevine!
*Now why can we say our Classifieds are Spam-Free? Because our staff checks them several times a day and deletes anything that is considered spam. If someone is abusing this site, we can even block and ban them.
Now, if you do happen to find spam or something suspicious in our Classifieds, please email us. More than likely, if you saw it, it was posted before we inspected the newest listings and we would come across it ourselves anyway.
We are very excited to offer this free service to Tallahassee! I can't wait to see the cool things you offer up for sale in our Free Classifeds!
