Gumtree Advertisement using Android Phone Photos Tutorial

Gumtree Advertisement using Android Phone Photos Tutorial

There are quite a few huge websites where you can sell goods, the biggest of which is probably eBay, were you can sell or buy with a bidding system.

Today, though, we’re using another big player, Gumtree, to post a free local advertisement.

With Gumtree advertisements you are encouraged to post an image or a few of the product or service you are trying to sell, and today, for that, we imagine you take (perfect) photographs with your Android Mobile Phone.

Went through these steps with a student, where we wanted to do the Gumtree advertisement on a laptop (or desktop) computer.

Now you may know how Gumtree works on a mobile phone and not need to do the work on a laptop, and that is fine … we’ll colour all the possibly superfluous steps, that way, in green, below.

As you can see, we hope, it is not that daunting a task to do. Not on Gumtree? If that’s the case, ahead of all the steps above …
