How to get your post pinned at Ocalahorsesales

Recently I began pinning selected Ocalahorsesales Facebook Group "Horse for Sale" posts. In order to have your post pinned, you must fill out the form and have it added to the Horse Sales Listing on ocalaequineindustries.com. Your photo(s) must be of reasonable quality to post and I favor those who add their favorite equine business serving the greater Ocala Area with their submission. If you have a working horse farm, I am happy to place a WebLink/Logo next to your listing.  Just today our Facebook Group (Ocalahorsesales) exceeded 2,000 members. Many have found and joined our group by searching the web for horse related information and clicked on OEI Ocala Equine Industries.

Why I ask for your Facebook Name

Some of you may wonder why our request form asks for your Facebook name. Only valid Ocalahorsesales members are permitted to submit for the sales lists at ocalaequineindustries.com.  I use your name to search for your post then check to make sure I have the right description. This is the minimum information required to ensure accuracy. The form resides on google drive and is a secure connection. The front page at OEI is a WebIndex of recommended horse related businesses of North Florida. The index improves traffic to the site increasing your chances of finding a buyer. If you only post your ad on the group, only the group will see it. By adding your post to the WebList, you are advertising to a greater audience which increases your chances of finding a buyer. Your posts on the group fall to the bottom with every new or updated post requiring you to repost on a regular basis. Our partnered Web site is provided as a free service to the greater Ocala Equine Community. You can return the favor by suggesting horse related businesses you are happy doing business with.

See our Ad on Facebook

I placed an ad with Facebook for Ocalahorsesales and Ocala Equine Industries to improve traffic to the sites and help increase membership. Some of you may be seeing it on the right side of the newsfeed. OEI entries have gone down since I stopped inviting members individually to register their posts for the WebList. All these efforts are for you, the members, to increase your chances of finding the right home for your horses and ponies. You can help me by recommending horse related businesses you use in the greater Ocala area. I appreciate it each time a member takes a moment to ad their post to the WebList.  Admin

No Website or Facebook Page? NO PROBLEM!

Many of the merchants listed on OEI do not have a business page to link to. If I can't find a web presence for a small equine entrepreneur, I create a WebCard for them. I have plenty of file storage at ocalaequineindustries.com and am happy to accomodate. I will send you the link to your WebCard as soon as it is up and you are welcome to request any reasonable changes. I do this for free for all entrepreneurs large and small serving the greater Ocala area with products or services related to the Equine Industry.  Brad Mentzer

A New Years Message

I have decided to stop inviting members individually to register for the WebList. I will however maintain a pinned post inviting all Ocalahorsesales members to re-post their ads to the website. Those who see the added value of posting to a broader audience will take advantage of this service. Please remember that non-members who find OEI when searching for horse related items must join Facebook to view additional photos.  This is a free service provided to all Ocalahorsesales Facebook Members.  Brad Mentzer

 

  At ocalaequineindustries.com we provide a WebList for Ocalahorsesales Facebook Group members who do not have time to "bump" their posts to the top on a daily basis. Have you ever tried to search for an older post on Facebook with no success? Members who register at "Add My Post" will always be able to find their post and so will those interested. We maintain an archive of listings for those who wonder if that horse is still available. Finding a good forever home for your horse may take a while during these economic times. 

     We recommend you take advantage of any opportunity available to advertise your horse. We are just one of many free sites but we are completely and absolutely FREE!

The Internet is a minefield of scams and rackets, that is why we keep our website free of pop up ads and never collect cookies. Ocala Equine Industries is a roster of preferred merchants who remain in good standing in our community. We welcome small time entrepreneurs serving our area with any product or service beneficial to horse owners and enthusiasts. The larger businesses advertised on our page have all given thumbs up in writing and permit us to point to facebook pages or websites. Our WebList for Ocalahorsesales advertises to a broader audience but uses the security umbrella of facebook to protect its members. Visitors to OEI may peruse our list of posts on the Internet but must join facebook to communicate with sellers unless those sellers wish to include their email/phone number. We have collaborated with Ocalahorsesales from the very beginning and will continue to provide this service to our community.
