Best way to advertise a job free?

Hello you lovely lot,

I have a self employed position I need to fill. I use FaceBook a lot and have posted the position on my status with very little success. Does anyone know of sites that may be more beneficial ?

The role is in the South Gloucestershire area.

    Yes it may be to some, to others it could be a golden opportunity to change their life. Thanks for your positivity.

    It could be a golden opportunity, but it's rather bizarre that you're unable to invest a few quid advertising it properly. If it was a golden opportunity you would be doing it yourself.

    That says it all, really.

    I'd never apply for a self-employed position advertised on Facebook. It just screams scam.

    I am doing it myself, its quite lucrative, my outgoings are more than my income at the moment. Have you considered that there is nothing in it for me but I am trying to present an opportunity for someone else.

    Loving your prejudice.

    Thanks for the heads up Torbrex hence the original question. It's a geographic specific position so even if it was allowed to advertise on here, it wouldn't really be an appropriate site.

    Sedulous,

    It's for a well known, respected company and advertised as such.

    So you're spending more than you earn and you think that is lucrative?

    What a bizarre little world you live in!
