Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out. I'd like to advertise to the general public in Korea and was wondering if you guys had any ideas?

I sold a camera online and my korean co-teacher listed it on some korean website I just can't remember the site name? One could do it on Naver, and cyworld I guess? Facebook?

Yes, dress up a skinny K-girl and put a lot of makeup on her. Then have her wear a cartoonish yellow dress and dance around to an annoying pixie song that gets stuck in your head.

You'll get everyone's business.

Whatever you're selling, make sure it comes in a "couple set" and a "family set" and then make sure you have lots of "events," each with its own pop-up window on the website. Korean marketing revolves around "sets" and "events."

Lots of references to daehanmingook and spelling Korea with a C instead of K would help...

Pictures of Dok-do, Kim Yun na, and that olympic weight lifter chick are also nice touches.....even better if they're in the same ad.

Make it a 'story'.

lol we sure are a helpful bunch, aren't we? I just realized the dude is basically just looking for a Korean version of craigslist.

In which case, maybe you should just use craigslist: http://seoul.craigslist.co.kr/

It's only in English but that way you will actually be able to communicate with whoever you're selling to.

If you want a Korean site, why not just ask your Korean co-teacher for that site name?

Use the words "Woori," "Woori nara," and "Kook nae san" to refer to anything, regardless of whether the product is made in Korea or not. Mention Dokdo and it's already sold
