Say hello to online ad posting


Thank you Internet

Here is a quick question for you! When was the last time you bought something by reading an ad post in your local newspaper? I bet you have not in a long time. I still remember that there was a time when we all use to wait for the morning newspaper to arrive and then we use to read all the news and ads posted there. But now the time has changed. And it has changed quite dramatically. Thanks to internet availability almost everything that once uses to be physical has gone virtual. From communication to travel, from travel to ad posting almost everything is available online. In recent times I have noticed that people have completely neglected TV ads, or radio advertisement and start using online ad posting. And there are so many reasons for this as well. This is an era of rapidity. No one afford slow and steady movement. And as a matter of fact print ads, TV ads, have sort of slow responses. And especially when it comes to selling old stuff. But on the other hand online ad posting is rapid like anything. If you want to buy and sell new or used home appliances, Gaming devices, mobile phones, vehicles, or even your old clothes. This is the place where you should go first.

Junk of one can be treasure of another

Most of the times it happens with us that we accumulate so many old stuff. And then we think that only putting them in a junk yard is the last resort. Because practically it is impossible for us to grab those things and sell them in an open market. Or post a paid ad for them in newspaper or anywhere else. But we must not forget that those things may be useless for us but that can be very useful for someone else. And thanks to free online ad posting websites that have made it incredibly easy and swift. By following couple of easy and relatively convenient steps you can clear your whole junk yard. And not just these you can earn some money as well from things which you once thought are unsellable.

How to do it?

The first thing you need to do is to find a best free online ad posting website. You may find bundle of these websites as this is one of the very uprising trend now a days. But you have to filter a lot of them and choose one where your ad will get the maximum response. And to do it you have to check the website ranks or already posted ads and their responses. It will give you the brief idea that whether it is a good option for you to post ad here. Once you choose a website now start creating your ads by choosing a product category. E.G. if your product is of daily home use select Home appliances, and then choose the sub category like freezer, TV etc. Then while posting adding pictures of your product is very important and I would say is essential. Ads without pictures do not get response at all. No matter what condition your product is in, must post it’s photo. Because it is a virtual selling source that is why picture is the only thing that actually describe the product. And one picture has more worth than your thousand words in description. Once you have done it all now post your ad and be preparing for selling all your used material. One thing is for sure. Online buying and selling is the future and right now is of great convenience. So it’s about time when you should start using it.

Why Qmobiles are getting famous in Pakistan?

Pakistani mobile phone market is one of the most competent markets. Though the history of mobile phones in Pakistan is not very old. But the market is completed saturated with big players like Nokia mobiles etc. If we go 2 to 3 years back so it seems back then that there is no capacity for any company to come here and do business. But in recent times a new company came in and apparently is currently dominating the market just like any other company do. It is none other than Qmobiles. Nobody ever predicted that Qmobiles would succeed in Pakistani market. And some experts even thought that it will be another entrant in Pakistan like Chinese mobile. But surprisingly it happened absolutely opposite of this and nowadays we can identify so many people living around us using Qmobiles like any other brand. In this article I will be discussing some very basic reasons that make them successful in Pakistan.
Very Affordable
The very first reason is that they are incredibly affordable. Pakistan is a country where large number of people does have a wish to keep a cell phone, but they do not afford a good cell phone and unlike other countries they do not have carriers who provide contract based cell phones. As a matter of fact if we search out the market you will realize that how expensive cell phones are there in the market. A good Sony Ericson Phone or an Iphone Smartphone is not affordable for all of us. But Qmobiles on the other hand is very inexpensive. Nobody including me ever imagined that a full equipped Android Smartphone can be bought in as low as 7k. Qmobiles have recently launched a complete range of android smart phones which is getting immense response in Pakistan because of their quality and price.
Authorize Support Centers
Another big reason for Qmobiles success is its local repair and warranty system. Mobile phones are very sensitive technology and they are very likely to have problems, and if you are using any international mobile phone brand that you most likely have to get it done from an unauthorized or semi-authorized repair shop. But if you have a Qmobiles, and there is anything occur to it you can get it done locally from an authorize repair lab, whether your phone is in warranty or not.


Comprehensive Product line
Another big reason for their success is that they have a very big and comprehensive product line, which almost covers every type of user in Pakistan. We can differentiate people living in Pakistan on the basis of classes, likes and dislikes etc. Qmobiles seems to be considering every class and every possible like and dislike. By collaborating with Swarovski crystal and Yamaha they have launched two cell phones, one which were completely targeting females and got very intense response as well, and another which was completely designed for music lovers with an in built Yamaha music player. Apart from smart phones and these specifically designed phones they have a very cheap line as well which is very affordable for all the lower middle class. E786 is one of the most famous phones when it comes to cheap mobile phones. While concluding this all I would say that without any doubt Qmobiles came up with a sustainable strategy. And judging from this success I would say that in future we can predict more companies coming in.

Trend of using gadgets in Pakistan

I remember the time when newspaper, an old radio, a landline telephone set, and a gigantic TV set which were just able to broadcast national television programs, were the only tools of entertainment available in every household of Pakistan. People use to watch national channels for every purpose like news, entertainment etc. The only channels of communication were landline telephones and post. Radio was the only thing which can play music. And we all were quite happy back then too. But as we all know that time never remain the same. It keeps on changing. But if we talk particularly about gadgets, then time has changed in Pakistan in quite a revolutionary way. Almost every latest gadget and technology is now available in Pakistan. In this article I will talk about the changing trends of using technology in Pakistan and most particularly I will talk about gadgets.

The father of all gadgets

Let’s start with the first gadget, which I would say has proved to be a father of all gadgets. It is none other than Mobile phone. After the technology boom in Pakistan, this gadget has gained the immense popularity. Almost 80% people living in Pakistan’s urban cities are using a mobile phone. Mobile phone has been dedicated as a technology of the decade internationally, and it should be in Pakistan as well. Today, it is the toughest job to identify a single adult or even a teen ager who does not possess a mobile phone. The great contributors in Pakistan’s great mobile revolution are Nokia Mobile, Samsung Mobiles, Sony Ericson, and other companies. The latest mobile phone technology is Smartphone technology. And Pakistan is the most potent market when it comes to smart phones. And this can be witnessed by looking the number of unofficial iphone Smartphone sales all around the Pakistan. It is one of the best selling phones in the history of Pakistan.

Television the most commonly used gadget

Then comes the turn of another famous gadget in Pakistan. Television, which once used to be a big sized machine. But it is now in the smartest shape ever. Statistics tells that more than 70% household in Pakistan are having a television set at their household. This gadget has faced so many revolutions, from simple TV to Plasma, from plasma to LCD, and now from LCD to LED. It is getting slimmer with every passing day. People in Pakistan who do not afford a new LCD and TV buy used LCD or a Used TV, but they do have this technology no matter what and how. Another worth mentioning thing here is that trend in changing technology of a television is also increasing quite rapidly. People who once used to have a television are now having a LCD of minimum a plasma TV.

The others

Then comes other gadgets like gaming devices, Cameras and music players. After the launch of gaming device from big players like Sony and Microsoft the trend of buying gaming device has clearly gone up. Youngsters are buying both portable devices along with classic devices. Music players are another best selling gadget in Pakistan. So many companies like Audionic came into the small, and big sized music players industry, but they haven’t got the desired success because of the officially launched IPOD in Pakistan. Another most widely spread trend is of cameras. After the official launch of Sony, Nikon and canon in Pakistan, this trend seems to be increasing day by day because almost everyone nowadays posses a handheld camera.

Buy Best deals, buy Online

Do not snub your desires:

We are living in an expensive era. We cannot buy anything that we desire. No matter it’s a mobile phone or a vehicle, so many times it happens that we like something but due to its high price and our low budget we prefer not to buy it. But is it fair to snub down our desires? No it certainly isn’t. And due to scam selling and worse condition of different products we normally fear to buy it from open markets. But you have to say thank you to the internet, because now we have so many online portals from where you can buy your desired products and not necessarily new. There are so many internet portals where sellers from around the country post their ads of different products and you can buy from them, without involving any third party into the deal. And with no commission involved. This is amazing right?

New way of buying:

In recent times there are so many new websites are coming into existence where people post their free ads. And buyers like us who want something can go there and search for their desired product and buy it. The most amazing thing on these websites is the number of choices you have. If you want a product of a certain type, you will find a lot of people selling the same product. Plus every seller must put the pictures of the product so it is easy for you to choose among different options by seeing that which product is having the best condition. E.G. you want to buy a gaming device or some home appliances you will have several options for each category.

Don’t burn your calories on buying things:

By buying online every buyer can save a lot of time and headache. Because it is never too easy to visit the open markets and then visit every single shop to buy a product. And then you are not completely sure that whether the product is in good condition or not. And mostly in open markets you will face a lot of professional salesmen who can easily put their magic spell on you with their great experience in this field and will make you buy the bad products. But when you buy from these web portals you will find out that on the other hand there is a user just like you. Who want to sell its product and will cast no scam with you. And mostly these sort of exchanges turn out to be so friendly exchanges.

No third party:

Since these web portals does not involve any kind of middle man involved or any extra commission that is why most of the time you get a lot of good deals here. Plus all these ads posted on these websites are somewhat personally negotiable with the sellers. So you can always bargain for a certain price.
These web portals are getting immense response and today so many sellers all around the country are selling their products online. Because It provides two things straight forwardly one is convenience and the other one crystal clear transactions. If in past you wanted to buy something but you just didn’t it’s time for you to check out one of these websites. Because so many people buy and sell used or new gaming devices , home appliances, mobile phones, computers and what not on these websites, you never know you might get yourself a best deal.

We all love Gadgets


We are living in 21st century. A century of technology and rapidity. Whatever we want to do, some kind of apparatus is always there to accompany us. We are surrounded by machines and gadgets. And the best part is we enjoy living in this era. Whatever we do, we don’t feel thrilled until of unless there is some machine or gadget involved in it. We all daily watch TV, we daily use computer, we daily use ovens, etc. So the crux of the story is that we are bundled with machines all around. That shows our unconditional love towards machines. But as I have said that this is 21st century the more we love gadgets the more they are available in market. And sometimes it gets impossible for us to choose between different types gadgets that how to buy them. Here are few tips by using which you can buy the best gadget.

Look inside your pocket:

First thing first, what is the first thing that you consider while buying anything? Yes, that’s price. Because it is directly linked with your budget. You first think that how much you should spend on whatever you are planning to buy. For example you want to buy a home appliances , and more specifically you want to buy a television. The first thing you should know about is that which brand is coming in your budget bracket. And then you should consider that what that brand is offering. If you are satisfied with the number of offerings. Then it’s the best case scenario. But if it does not then you should see the offering of that brand which comes slightly above your price bracket. And if that’s suits you, you must increase your budget bracket a little. Because it is giving you the value for money. And another tip in this regard is that try to search products online because sometimes you can find best deals on the websites where people buy & sell new and used home appliances , gaming devices, Mobile phone accessories etc.

What people are saying about it?

The other thing while buying a gadget you should consider is the product review. If you have selected a brand or a product out of so many brands you must know that how much people rate it. There is a huge community on internet which works entirely on writing reviews of different gadgets. And the buyer can easily have a very good idea about the product’s features and how those features work by reading the reviews. E.g. if you want to buy a gaming device and you have decided to buy a certain brand you must know that what people are saying about this certain brand. There is another benefit of reading reviews, buyer get to know about the product’s detailed functionality.

Does it have warranty?

The other thing that every buyer should keep in mind is that your gadget must have warranty. Warranty is considered very essential when we talk about gadgets. Sometimes what happened is that we buy a product but after a while it loses its certain functionality. And repairing it locally can snatch its quality and resale value. But if your product is with warranty your product would be repaired by the professional and authorized Lab of the respective company. And your product would not lose its quality, functionality, or resale value. No matter you are buying a new product or a used product always prefers products that have certain warranty to provide you safety.

Tired of collecting old stuff? Let’s rescue ourselves from old stuff

Get your junk yard cleared:

We daily buy things and use them. And after a certain use we start thinking of buying new things. And normally waste the old things. And put them in junk yards. But do you really think it is a good idea? No it is not. There is a famous quote which says. ‘Junk of one can be a treasure of another’. So why waste old things when you can sell them to people who need them, and get value for your products? But we normally have concerns that carrying old stuff with us and wandering here and there at markets does not worth it. We prefer to waste many things or gift them instead of selling them just to save ourselves from the tiresome work of selling them in an open market. But thanks to internet and the classified websites. Buying and selling new and used home appliances, gaming devices and what not, is now as easy as eating a piece of cake. In this article I will tell you that how by performing couples of easy steps you can get rid of old stuff and make money.


Select the best free classified website:

First of all go on internet and search for a top rating classified website. And make sure that this website has a lot of daily visitors and high ranking. And by viewing already posted ads there you will have the idea that whether visitors here respond to ads or not. And also make sure that posting ads on this website is free. Until of unless you want any special kind of advertisement of your product. In such matter websites normally charge the seller. But that too should be a nominal price. And for that make comparison among different websites. And also make sure that this whether this website supports the type of product you are willing to sell. Because if you want to sell Home appliances make sure your classified website has the home appliances category.


Picture it well:

Once you have selected a web site to post an ad .Take a picture of your product. You may write thousands of words but a picture can describe a product more efficiently than your words. And while posting the pictures with your ad make sure that you have captured your product from every relevant angel. Because if you want your product to have sudden and quick response picture should be real, recent, and comprehensive.


Good Description half selling:

And after taking a picture of your product add the complete description of your product. And make sure that it includes all the features and attributes that your product has to offer. Do not miss anything. Because detailed description will gather your more response than low description or no description at all. E.g. If you want to sell and old gaming device make sure that you describe it well according to its current condition and its features.


Categorize it:

And once you have described your product perfectly, select the category very carefully. Because if you will put your ad in a wrong category your potential customers will not be able to locate you while searching for your product. Since you are not in the right category. E.g. If you want to sell an old fridge, or a washing machine. Make sure you have selected Home appliances category.


Be a little flexible:

Be a little flexible when it comes to pricing. Overpricing your product can cause you low response. Plus your product might take a lot of time to sell. And in some cases it won’t get sold at all.

So if you want to buy and sell new or used home appliances, gaming devices, or anything. Follow these steps and get things done in few hours. www.gadget.pk is one of the best free classified of Pakistan. And deals with all types of gadgets like home appliances, gaming devices, mobile phones, etc.

What makes Nokia Mobiles Asha Range so popular?

I do not think that there is anyone in Pakistan who has never used Nokia mobile phone. We all have used Nokia mobiles or are using them even now. Have you ever wondered why Nokia mobiles are so successful in Pakistan as compared to other mobile brands such as Sony Ericsson Phone, HTC, or BlackBerry handset? Well, the reason behind this is affordability as well as availability. Nokia mobiles are widely available in Pakistan – in urban as well as rural areas. However, high end mobile devices like HTC mobile, Blackberry handset and iPhone smartphones are mostly available in big cities.


Which mobile do people use in Villages and rural areas?

Mobile phone is no more a luxury, as it once used to be. People living in villages, rural areas and small cities also use mobile phones, albeit only a few rich landlords can afford expensive mobile phones.
Low income and middle class people prefer on buying used mobile phones of their favourite brands, or they buy new Chinese mobile or Nokia mobile. Nokia is considered as a durable mobile phone set. No matter how many times it fell down from your hand, it will still be working.


Nokia Asha mobile phones

Who says that smartphones are only meant for rich and elite? Now everyone can afford buying smart phone – thanks to Nokia Asha series. In October 2011, Nokia introduced Asha series - its middle-range smart phone devices. These mobile phones are not only eye-catching but provide all popular and widely used connectivity options to mobile users. From social networking to surfing the internet – Nokia Asha has made it all easy. On 6th June 2012, Nokia released three S40 OS smart phones to the Asha range – Nokia Asha 305, Asha 306, and 311, in Pakistan. All these mobile devices come with full-touch screen. They look awesome and worth showing off. Gone are the days when iPhone smart phone was considered to be the only full-touch mobile phone. Now Nokia Asha latest mobile phone sets has given every one the opportunity to flaunt their handset. Nokia Asha 305, 306 and Asha 311 – which were rolled out last year, gained billions of customers worldwide. These are quite identical mobile phones, except for Asha 311 which is a single-SIM mobile.


Why Nokia mobile is better than Chinese mobile sets?

A few years back Chinese mobile phones were getting immensely popular due to their numerous functionalities and low price. People in Karachi and other cities were mostly buying Chinese mobile phones because they are inexpensive as compared to popular brands like Motorola, BlackBerry handsets, Samsung mobiles and LG mobile due to the high rate of mobile snatching incidents.

Apart from this, Chinese mobiles offer Dual SIM and multi SIM support which made them very popular all over the country. People buy SIMs of different cellular network companies to avail their attractive offers. But not anymore, Nokia introduced its first Dual SIM mobile phones back in 2010 – via Nokia C1 and C2. Now Nokia mobile dual SIM range has extended to Smartphone and touch screen dual SIM mobiles, most popular among them was C2-03. As Nokia is a trusted brand – people have started preferring to buy Nokia dual SIM mobiles on Chinese mobiles.

Last year, many Chinese mobile brands were banned in Pakistan due to security risks. Chinese mobiles had same IMEI number which made it difficult to trace the user. Terrorists were using Chinese mobiles to carry out their heinous crimes in the country, especially in Karachi. This has made Nokia mobile phones even more popular in Pakistan.
