Online 'Side Job' Website Offers Special Promotion to Help Fight Both Pollution and Illegal Telephone Pole Advertising

Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Take a look around the next time you drive downtown, and it's likely that you will see advertisements on telephone poles. Everything from lawn mowing to snow plowing to painters to work at home opportunities, telephone poles seem to attract advertisers. It is specifically this type of advertising that Side Job Trader (www.sidejobtrader.com), an online side job advertising website, is targeting with its latest promotion.

"For many people who have a small side business, advertising their services on telephone poles is a common practice, because it is very low cost" says Paul Magruder, owner of Side Job Trader, "However, what most of these advertisers don't realize is that besides littering, they are also probably breaking the law. So what we're doing is offering these types of businesses a better, 'greener' place to advertise.

Magruder has implemented a special promo code (sjt0101) that will be made available on web forums frequented by these types of businesses. The code will also be made available on forums that discuss the environment and "green" solutions. The promotion is good for a free ad, allowing the advertiser a way to advertise his or her service without harming the environment.

In fact, "thinking green" is one reason Magruder started his business in the first place. "Not only is telephone pole advertising illegal in most places, it's also ugly, and is, in effect, littering" noted Magruder. "So part of my motivation to begin the website was to offer an eco-friendly alternative to people who do side work. This way, we accomplish two things -- we offer a viable, affordable way for side businesses to advertise, and the advertiser also becomes more "green" as a result, because we replace the paper equivalent."

Plus, advertisers get the benefit of telling more of their story without their ad being ruined by the weather, and, as Magruder notes "without the risk of the police coming to your door with your ad in hand."

Side Job Trader allows tradespeople of all skill levels to list their service, and gives people who need work done a place to find them. The online database is fully searchable, and is nationwide. To learn more about this service, please visit the website at www.sidejobtrader.com
