For the first time ever, since the birth of online classifieds, one classifieds platform is giving you, the Seller or Advertiser, the right to Own 50% of your classifieds! At SellToOwn.com, it is our belief that sellers and advertisers should be fully rewarded for their innovation, whether expressed in the ad content, marketing, traffic building or selling of their classifieds. To help sellers and advertisers just starting their online sales and advertising business or more experienced sellers and advertisers who need a quick review of good ad content writing, marketing or traffic building, item selling and ad space selling techniques, we've posted below in this page a guide outlining some of the best of breed ideas. This is just a starting point for marketing and selling online and we encourage everyone to read more about these issues as they will be key to helping you earn the highest classifieds net worth and in turn the highest annual ROI possible on your classifieds net worth.

At SellToOwn.com, we've developed CNet, a software program that researches and calculates the classifieds net worth of an online seller or advertiser using proven numerical and statistics analysis techniques. After using CNet to research the classifieds net worth of over 1 million random online sellers and advertisers, we've come to the conclusion that 99.999% of those 1 million received well below 5% of their actual classifieds net worth! The top 0.001% received an average of 25.671% of their actual classifieds net worth!

SellToOwn.com is offering the only classifieds platform we know of to date that rewards all sellers and advertisers at a 50% annual ROI rate based on their actual classifieds net worth! In turn, the SellToOwn.com classifieds platform gives you the highest and only annual ROI possible for your classifieds instead of giving you the very limited "earn once and throw away classifieds" offered by the older types of classifieds platforms. You may Earn this 50% annual ROI by leasing ad space on your classifieds. You also have the option of selling your classifieds pages by exchanging your account information, and thereby forfitting all your entitlement to your classifieds, with a buyer for an amount equal to your classifieds net worth based on the CNet (Which will be available for public use soon on SellToOwn.com) and/or the amount you agree on with the buyer.

At SellToOwn.com, we believe that each seller and advertiser should be rewarded with a ROI that equals 50% of the proceeds generated by his or her classifieds. This monetary amount is, should and will always be solely derived by you from your permanent entitlement and effort to sell or advertise on 50% of the ad space on each one of your classifieds hosted on SellToOwn.com. SellToOwn.com's permanent investment in innovation, technology and operation of the Sell To Own Classifieds Platform, will also be equally matched with the other 50% of all classifieds and all other pages with or without content created in-part or entirely by SellToOwn.com on it's servers. At SellToOwn.com our research has shown that on average you can Earn a 50% annual ROI that we believe you are entitled to on your actual classifieds net worth.

Classifieds that can not increase in net worth, as measured by CNet, on a promising sustainable basis, may be removed at the discretion of SellToOwn.com anytime after the first 30 days of exposure. This ensures each seller or advertiser is able to keep focusing on classifieds that are in position to generate a sustainably increasing annual ROI. To help you reach a 50% annual ROI on your classifieds net worth, SellToOwn.com enables you to Leverage not 1, but 2 Popular Sales Channels. The first sales channel is the "Classifieds Channel", where you can Shop for Bargains or Manage Your Classifieds.

Collectively, the SellToOwn.com classifieds platform aims to provide Shoppers, Sellers and Advertisers a Feature-rich ROI Classifieds Platform that simply gives you the best Bang for Your Buck!
