I haven't tried selling on Craigslist, but I like shopping on it. I got really good deals there. It's really fun reading those advertisements! If I'm moving, I'm definitely going on there to sell and shop. And to look for a new job too...

You should purchase a website and flash videos. Flash videos can be used on just about any platform.

I'd just like to know how to not get my ad deleted...

people are making huge money from craiglist, still the methods are unknown to me

you can get good people from craigslist too but craigslist will delete all posts that are MLM
so what i do is repost my ad everyday so i get on teh first page

so, lizzy7five3,
are you planning on trying that strategy again to make more money? selling ebay stuff on craigslist?

People are making a killing on Craigslist. At least the ones that know how to do it. It's all about having a lot of accounts and being able to make your ads look unique. There are so many tricks to doing it. If you have access to multiple accounts and you stay within the posting guidelines all you need to do is create picture ads and upload multiple copies with different names to file sharing sites to rotate through your ads. You also need light colored content to post with it so it makes it look like a legit ad. You can look around on CL for examples of it and mimic them.

How do I get started

Great ideas for what to sell -- it is about multiple accounts and making your ads look really good. CL s also good at getting your information indexed quickly

Selling freebies as products to people in order to build your opt-in list is awesome -- then you use that opt-in list and sell affiliate products / services.

I agree that ever since Craigslist laid down the heavy rules, it has been harder and harder to get your ads to stick. Having a handful of accounts and knowing how to post so that your ads look legitimate and stick is the way to do it. I don't bother using Craigslist that much anymore unless I'm trying to make a quick buck.

Yes you can make money from craigslist! You have to follow the rules! Play by the rules and you can win with craigslist.

I've only tried to sell cemetery plots on Craigslist.........didn't get a bite at all.............will be doing some other types of marketing with it and will change my approach and see if I can get some results........

I tried using Craigslist a little, and still do but I am not really skilled at craigslist posting
so I mostly use other means of advertising. Just to not get banned from Craigslist

Some people have tremendous results but you MUST know your stuff!

You can sell freebies to craiglist for unique selling
