I am sure that by now you have all heard about OLX, whether you have actually used it or not. With several thousands of users each day, OLX has become one of the most well-known sites for free online classifieds.
Today I am going to focus on the most technological aspect of it, which is the OLX App for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, extremely useful in itself, but even more interesting if you are a Smartphone lover and are used to working with Apple.
But first, here is some background information for those of you who are not all that sure about what we are talking about. OLX is an online company that has specialized in the trading of items online. And not only items, because there are also many categories dealing with real estate, job offers and many other services. It is an American company, but it is now popular in many other countries (almost a hundred) and also 40 languages. Free ads in India for instance have exponentially grown.
People have become especially keen on selling and buying stuff online, and therefore there is more than a few companies taking advantage of this. But there are many reasons why OLX is doing better than everyone else.
One of the very good reasons why this is so, which I already mentioned above, is the fact that they have even developed an app for mobile devices. If you think about it, it is a great idea and certainly appealing now that everybody seems to live and work “on the go”. And what I mean by that is that each day more and more people tend to depend more on their mobile phones, use them for work, read and send out emails, etc. It is the era of technology after all.
OLX’s goal is to make it easier for users to do business online. If you can access your OLX account anywhere you are and without the need of a computer, any transaction will become much easier and faster than it was before. You can custom your ads, add pictures, videos and everything you want all from your mobile phone.
If you are looking to advertise a product, take a picture of it from your phone, log into OLX, click on the picture you just took and it posts it automatically. Once it’s uploaded, it gives you the option of adding a description of the product you are selling and its features, as well as the price you are going to charge for it. And of course do not forget to add your contact information so potential buyers can get back to you!
Once your ad is ready to see the light, you can also choose to share it on Facebook for all your friends to see, on Twitter, or on any other social network you can think of. Use the location of your phone as well to find products advertised in your local area.
I have already tried it, what are you waiting for?
