Sikh Classifieds



Most of you have probably posted a classified ad in your lifetime to sell something, find some service or sell something. Well, lately I have received more and requests from people to have a place to post misc. messages about jobs, events, things people want to sell, etc. We haven’t really had a place for this type of thing on SikhNet. 

 So, with this need in mind we are setting up and testing a new free Sikh Classified Ad Service that the Sikh Community can use to post various things. (keep in that this is not a directory of website links, but a list of listings posted by people that will stay on the site for up to 60 days)

 In order to make this successfull I need your help. There are so many types of categories that we could setup, and I need your help to think of some, so that we can organize them into a logical structure that benefits everyone.

Here are some starting category ideas that one friend sent me. Please take 10-20 minutes and help us think of needed categories for things that would specifically serve the Sikh community. (you can check out craig’s list – http://santafe.craigslist.org/ for ideas to get you going)

Young People
Youth camps
Exchange Programs
 
Education
Music Classes
Bhangra Classes
Punjabi Classes
English as Second Language Classes
Gurmukhi Classes
Yoga/Fitness Classes
Cooking Classes

Legal Services
Immigration
Seva

For Sale
 
Care
Childcare
Senior Care
 
Jobs
Bed n Breakfast

    Under education Gatka Classes

    Events – subcatergories europe, asia america etc.
    Rehansabhais, Gatka Events, Amrit Sanchars etc.
    Local Sikh businesses – subcatergories europe asia america etc.
    A place where Sikh business could list their services, but not like liquor stores ran by sikhs hehe!! I mean like vegetarian restraunts, security companies, that kinda thing.
    Recruitment – subcatergories by region again
    I think this is an important one as it is quite difficult for Amritdharhi Singhs especially to get work with open beard and bana.
