vFlyer - post your home to multiple sites at once, for free

vFlyer offers a sample.

This service allows agents and sellers to upload a classified ad, distribute it, and export to HTML or PDF to post on a website. The first step involves basic information any free service would request. For some reason they don’t require last name (?). They ask that you create an account name hosted by their server at vflyer.com. Such as mybiz.vflyer.com. The form detects in real-time if an account with that name has already been created.

After submitting the form they request that you check your email for a confirmation code. Probably to prevent spam. My gmail account didn’t consider it spam, which was helpful.

Next up you’re directed to a “create form” page in. They give your four steps, and they are indeed easy. Select a category for the classified ad, then fill in all the text forms in step two. You can “add attributes” by filling in a simple text field and checking that option.

Then it’s time to choose a template from 14. Oddly, the preview for each templates wasn’t working for me. Sometimes it did, but there was a long delay.

Once you’ve completed all the information, added attributes, uploaded pictures or created a gallery…it’s time to post. vFlyer lets you post to Oodle, Propsmart, Edgeio, Trulia, Googlebase, Vast, and Others. Others means that you want to add your flyer to all upcoming partners. This could be worded a little better - “Other” sounds as if you can select from a long list of second-tier online classified sites. Not sure why craigslist isn’t here, although I imagine it’s because craigslist likes to be different..

Next post will feature a sample and the final impression!
