Trading Post Ads

The Backwoods Home Magazine Trading Post is an easy, inexpensive way to let thousands of self-reliant people know what you have to sell or want to buy.

An ad in the Trading Post costs a mere $40 for four lines of about 70 - 80 characters per line. (Capital letters reduce the number of characters per line.) You may make your ad larger by adding more words, but extra lines cost $10 each whether they are full or contain only one word.

Ads are not sorted or categorized in the Trading Post. New ads are added at the top of the list.

Ads remain posted for 60 days or until you tell us to take it down, whichever comes first. If you want your ad to stay posted for a longer period, indicate the total number of 2 month ad periods in the selection box in the order form below. The cost is $40 (plus $10 per extra line, if any) per two month period or part thereof.

You MUST include your website and/or email address in the body of your ad. We will install a link so people only have to click on it to respond or visit your website. Phone numbers are optional.

Ads must be ordered using the form below and will usually be posted within 2 business days. We do not take Trading Post ads over the phone or by mail, although payment may be made by phone or mail if you select the appropriate option when "checking out."

If you will be mailing in your payment, please note that ads cannot be posted until your check is received and has cleared.

Important! We do not proof the ads, so double and triple check all spelling, especially your website and/or email address and phone number. We transfer the text directly from the form to the ad. It will all run together and be justified left. You may elect to have the text centered for an additional charge of $2.00. You may also elect to force up to 3 line breaks for an additional charge of $6.00 (see below) No changes will be made once the ads are posted. Click Here to see what various ad choices look like

In case you were wondering, between 180,000 and 200,000 people visit the Backwoods Home web site each month. That's a lot of potential buyers for only 20 bucks a month!!

You may offer as few or as many items as will fit in your ad. However, we will refuse any ad promoting any lottery or auction, however named, containing illegal, pornographic, hateful, or anything else we feel to be inappropriate for our website.

Backwoods Home Magazine and its staff assume no responsibility or liablity for anything offered or requested in any ad, nor for anything that may happen if someone responds to an ad. Any questions or problems MUST be resolved between the parties.
