If you own a business, your number one goal is to get information out about your brand. Of course, the best way to spread the word about your business is through advertising. You may not be a graphic designer, or don't have the software to create professional looking advertisments. It is still possible to create your own ads online for free using a variety of add creation websites and software.

Log on to a website that allows you to create free ads. There are a variety of different websites that allow you to do this such as AdDesigner.com and GoGoPin.com. For the sake of this article, GoGoPin.com will be used as an example.
2Click the "Create Account" button in the right hand corner of the page. You will be redirected to a page that asks you to enter your email address and create a password. When you have entered the information click "Create." You will be directed to a page where you can create your ads, or take a tutorial of how to use the program. Click "Start" to take the tutorial, and it will tell you the function of each button on the page.
3Click on the "T" button to add text to your ad, or click on the picture of the camera to add a picture. Create your ad in a way that matches your business theme, and you can even upload your own logo. Use the arrow keys at the bottom of the page to make the page smaller or larger; a larger page can be used to create a flyer, and a smaller page can be used to create an ad.
4Click "Export" when you are ready to share your ad. A screen will pop up that allows you to save your ad before you export it. Title the ad so you will remember it later when you are trying to find it on your computer. Choose keywords that best describe your business. The program will automatically choose some keywords based on the text in your ad. Click the keywords you want to use. Select the keywords based on what words potential customers would use to search for your products or services in the search engines.
5Write a description of your ad, featuring the keywords you listed in the field above. For instance, if you are a graphic design company, and one of your keywords is "graphic design." Finish by typing in a link to your website.
6Click "Save & Export." Your ad will be created, and then a window will appear with the options to send your ad to Facebook, Twitter, Craigslist, or to create a picture (.png) or PDF file so you can share it offline as well. Click on the tab at the top for the share option you prefer, and follow the instructions on that tab to share or save your free ad.
