How To Market I.T. Services

[Cognition]

Besides using PPC, SEO, and Social Media, how do I market my I.T. services to the general public?

While knowing very little about Craigslist classified ads, how to I market my online tech support services to a non-local market on the Internet?

Marketing on the whole is much broader than Social Media, SEOs and other internet marketing methods..

I wonder what you meant by "General Public"..
And I wonder if you will be open to look broader at Marketing as a whole, only prefers to look narrowly only at internet marketing..

My potential customers are Internet-savvy, but PC and Mac users who do not have the ability to resolve or troubleshoot their own technical issues.

My potential customers are not local, but mostly, located nationwide. I want to focus my marketing efforts in acquiring clientele from several different regions, not just my local one.

I hear Craigslist is good for that, but I'm worried about the limits of advertising there. Surely there must be a way around the user account limitations.

Does anyone know of any?

I have heard of such services but I am not sure with which one to go with, nor do I have an idea of how effective those services are. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction?

I was even thinking about offering a tech support "package" to individuals who are selling their PCs and Macs on Craigslist and Ebay. My firm would basically offer limited tech support to the buyer which the seller pays for upfront. The seller benefits from the perception of the buyer that his/her computer is a lower risk to buy which will ultimately lead to quicker and higher sales.

I even thought about offering tech support subscription services to small businesses who can't afford or who don't want to hire an in house IT person. Perhaps a monthly fee of $250-500 a month for unlimited tech support/troubleshooting would be a more fiscally responsible option for such firms.
