I've heard about Craiglist to be one of a very god resource for downlines, clients etc. I did actually make an account but I'm really confused on how to use it. Does anyone knows a good how to place an ad on craiglist, tips and tricks for effective ad posting there. please do share your experience and advice.. Thank you very much!

To use craiglist effectively make sure you promote your items in the right category. Your headlines should attract so write compelling headlines. Also use symbols and special characters to make your headlines stand from the other postings. If you don't have a pictures you may think about getting one. People like to see what they will get.
You must have some knowledge of html. Place html in your post to direct people to links. Same as placing anyother ad just a different vehicle you use. As for tutorials I am pretty sure you can find them on google or if your looking for visual aids you can try youtube. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the response Chris. Are you using craiglist too? I'm having a problem with having to post my advertisement on different locations. it requires phone number etc... is there anyway to bypass this one? thanks!

Doing a quick search in google,

I found a YouTube video, it says its a basic tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQzTqd_X8xY
A tutorial by a guy named Jeff, http://jefftougas.com/craigslist-tutorial
And a whole website dedicated to CL tutorials and help: http://www.craigslist-help.com/

Wow, I didn't realize CL could turn into something of a business like that. I never got into CL, honestly. Stuck to eBay. I'm also from rather large cities, so I never really had to look very hard for anything I was searching for.
