I use craigslist to put my real estate listings but I had never received a single request.
Please can somebody help me out?

craigslist have become more and more stricter these days, which made it difficult for members to start posting freeads
you can make some money out of it though, if you know a way to post to multiple cities yoiu can make big bucks, just to let you know it is harder to post ads these days, so it might be a little bit more harder, hope it helps

You can make money from craigslist but you have to work it correctly. Don't just post one ad for one product, post as many as you possibly can in different categories to make as much money as you can. This way you're expanding your efforts and profit potential.

I think some people are earning but it's decreasing though because of competition.

I believed there are still people making money by posting their product on craiglist. It does just depend on strategy on how you post your listing. It takes also enough patience to encourage income from it.

Yep, exactly. I have had great luck selling all kinds of stuff from cars, to electronics, to promoting events, to landing gigs. Craiglist is awesome

Hi Silviar

You just have to make sure that you are posting it in the right spot and maybe using keywords will help.

Good luck!

I was very successful using craiglist. I sold all my things last year when I traveled to another country.
it is very important to give what you want to sell after receiving your money. Otherwise, you can loose all!
Also, you could make a very attractive ad, it helps a lot!

I have never used craiglist, but i will sign up and try it

It really depends on what you're selling. I've had success with DVDs and such but I would imagine real estate is much trickier considering the horrible housing marker.

I think craigslist is great! I use it to sell all of my stuff when I move, I also sold affiliate product also too. So it's a great tool for me.....

Does it really work to sell affiliate products on craigslist? What do you think works best?

How do you get around all the restrictions on posting in the sm biz ads section. Now you have to have a phone number assigned to each account name and you're limited to only posting 3 ads. Seems like craigslist is trying to discourage posting more and more. It's bad enough that you have to change your ad by 20%, but to limit you to only 3 ads, is really a hassel.

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.

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
imarketingguru
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
imarketingguru
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.
Mreese601
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 smile.gif

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

You can sell freebies to craiglist for unique selling smile.gif
