Because sometimes you just have to be cooler than Craigslist!
Have you ever heard of Ubokia?
Yeah, me either, ha! But when I learned a little more about it I was SO excited to share it with you! They launched in November of 2011, and have been growing steadily ever since. With over two years of development, and a membership base of over 200,000 Ubokians since the launch, Ubokia is the largest and quickest growing “want-centric” ecommerce platform out there. With Ubokia, you simply have to ask, and you shall receive. It is Ubokia’s goal to connect people with people, not a person with money to an item. Ubokia built their site into an embeddable marketplace that you get to place directly within your site.
Think of way back in the old days…you know, when we all used Craigslist, ha! Well, Ubokia is easier for buyers because all they have to do is post a want and let sellers come to them. No more searching! So no more spending hours combing through sellers’ items hoping you see something you like. Nope. Buyers are the top dog here, and apparently I am WAY better at buying things…so this is real good for me, ha!
Also as bloggers we have developed a sort of community, we trust each other. Buying through a blog marketplace means you are connecting with other like-minded people – making it easier to find what you want and in general your interactions are more pleasant than something like Craigslist.
And it is SO simple to get your own marketplace going on your own site like me!
How the Ubokia Plugin Works:
Once you are all set up, Ubokia will simply email you two lines of HTML code for you to copy and paste onto a new page. The marketplace fits in almost every theme out there, while still being able to display your ad space! If you ever have any issues with the install, you will be able to directly contact a Ubokia Team Member who will be able to help you custom fit the marketplace into your site.We have worked to make the app as easy as possible to install, and continue to create an even better user experience.
