Right now the contacts I have gotten have come from:
www.daycarecanada.com
www.godaycare.com
www.usedottawa.com
www.kijiji.com
With daycarecanada.com, so you use the free version or do yuo pay? I tried to use the free version, but it wouldn't let me put in my postal code and phone number and then it wouldn't let me post the ad because I hadn't entered the info...I was thinking maybe they want you to pay?

Hmm...I am not sure what I'm doing wrong...I tried it again and same thing. when I enter K, it puts KK and then on like that so it is all messed up!

When I started out I had my ad on over 20 free sites where it is just 'there' you do not have to up date it or anything ~ however I ask all my non-referred contacts how they 'heard' of me most of my inquiries come from either HERE, Godaycare or Kijiji or they googled and found my website so those are the venues I tend to spend more time 'advertizing on'.
Used the free version. Forget now what I had to do. I am like Reggio and don't pay for advertising - including on usedottawa or kijiji when they ask you to upgrade - not worth it in my opinion.Quote:

Also consider areas that would be just outside your area but where you would be on the way for the people.
I have put up ads on the boards at the grocery store but be aware if the store has their own cards you have to use - otherwise they remove your plain ones.
I also have never paid for advertising...I agree that there are enough free options. I always tell people, don't bother paying for a top ad on Kijiji....just delete and repost often so that your ad is not lost on page 100. I will keep trying with the free version of daycarecanada...I don't know why it gives me difficulties!
