<h2 class="mb5 mt0">Posting Offered Accommodation adverts</h2>
<p class="mt0">To post an advert you must first <a href="how-to-join-cfs.php">join</a> Christian Flatshare(CFS). The key to posting a good advert is to take care to put helpfully detailed descriptions and to add photos, both which help encourage advert responses. </p>
<p>Once you have logged in, on the right hand side you will the member's menu where you can click "<strong>Post an Accommodation Advert!</strong> ". Click of "Offered accommodation ad" and choose: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>House or Flatshare </strong>- Houses or flats shared with others</li>
<li><strong>Room Share </strong>- A room shared with someone of the same sex</li>
<li><strong>Family Share </strong>- Accommodation shared with a family with children or with a married couple</li>
<li> <strong>Whole Place </strong>- An unoccupied house or flat</li>
</ul>
<p>Follow the steps in the advert form to post your advert. </p>
<p>Anytime afterwards you can go to "Your ads" (top right corner) where your advert(s) are listed and where you can: </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Add photos</strong></li>
<li><strong>Edit</strong> your ad to change its details</li>
<li><strong>Suspend </strong>your ad temporarily </li>
<li> <strong>Delete</strong> your ad</li>
<li> <strong>Facebook</strong> your ad, to share with Facebook friends</li>
<li> Change your advert's picture </li>
</ul>
<h2 class="mb5 mt0"> </h2>
<h2 class="mb5 mt0">Adverts Matching Yours </h2>
<p class="mt0">Any Wanted Accommodation adverts that match your offered accommodation will be shown below your advert summary, on the Your ads page. We recommend that you look at and reply to any of the adverts you think are suitable. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><br />
</p>
</div>
<div class="col2"><br/>
<h2 class="mb5 mt0">Replying to Wanted Accommodation ads</h2>
<p class="mt0"> If you enter the postcode of accommodation you have to offer in the Quick Search on the front page you will be shown those wanted ads who are looking for accommodation in your postcode, which you can reply to.<br />
<br />
If you have placed a offered accommodation advert a link to it will automatically be included in your reply.</p>
<h2 class="mb5"><span>Advert posting tips</span></h2>
<p class="mt0"> Some advert posting tips which are well worth following... </p>
<ol class="mb0">
<li>A warm, <strong>helpful and informative description</strong> of the accommodation and those living there is <em>always</em> helpful. Adverts that have a brief description attract less response. It is worth taking the time to thoughtfully describe your ad. When posting the ad, can initially put a brief description and later edit it to expand it. It may be helpful to look at other adverts on CFS for inspiration before posting your own.</li>
<li><strong>Adding <span class="obligatory">*</span>photos<span class="obligatory">*</span></strong> to your ad can help give a good impression of what the accommodation is like and to get the best ad response - and photos can be fun too!</li>
<li>If you have a website or a social-networking page, then including a link to it will help others to find out more about you.</li>
<li><strong>Regularly logging</strong> in to CFS will help others see you are actively using CFS as your advert(s) will show how many days since you last logged in.</li>
<li class="mb0"><span class="style6">Your advert will automatically expire 14 days after its "Available From date" (Offered ads) or "Wanted from date" (Wanted ads). You can extend the time it appears on CFS simply by</span> moving the Available or Wanted from date forwards (see "Your ads" for more details on this). To remove your advert click on "Yours ads" (top right), and click on "Delete this ad".</li>
</ol>
