Automated Craigslist Posting For Those On A Budget

Are You Looking Into Automating Your Craigslist Advertising? Have You Considered Easy Ad Poster Deluxe, Auto Account Creator, IP Green, Craygo, AdSleuth, Or Any Other Tool In The Market?

Have You Searched Google or Yahoo For An Easy Way To Market Your Business Using Craigslist And Still Unsure What You're Looking For?

To those of you who are looking into the challenge of posting on Craigslist, I want to share with you what I think you should get and let me tell you why I'm crazy enough to take the plunge.

However, before I did, this is what I've learned while doing some posting on Craigslist. I also want to point out that if you don't follow these suggestions, you ads won't show up after you post. I also expected by the time read this, Craigslist may have made some changes, so these may not apply anymore and yes, you better expect it. So here are the do's and don'ts of what you should know about this beast:

• You can't use the same headline within 48 to 72 hours.
  
• You can't use the same email address within 48-72 hours. That means you must create several email accounts and Gmail is recommended.
  
• You can't use the same IP address within the last 24 hours. If you do, your ip may be banned for a month.
• There are more points, but I just want to bring enough points so you know what Craigslist expect from you if you plan on posting your ads.

The tools that you need to succeed in your posting:

• An Internet Connection that allows you to change your IP address. I recommend the following in the order below
  
• A Sprint Data Card - preferred because you get unlimited plan for $59.95 a month
• A Dialup Account with Juno or Netzero.
• A program that allows you to create Gmail accounts.
• A program that allows you to post several different combinations of the same ads to different cities at different times.
• A program that allows your computer to automatically disconnect you from the Internet and reconnects you with a new IP address.

I wish I know about this three weeks ago, but hey, you live and learn. In the past, I purchased the Auto Account Creator ($97), Easy Ad Poster Deluxe ($397), and used IPGreen on a trial basis. Paid almost $500 for total automation.

Well, when I learned about this one product, I did though about kicking myself in the butt because it has all three elements I needed for total automation, supports my Sprint Data card, and is $300 cheaper. It exceeded my expectations and I was able to post without having to babysit the system.

In fact, I was able to create 30 Gmail accounts within 15 minutes (was doing something else simultaneously). Try creating 30 Gmail accounts and tell me how long will it take you? It took me more than an hour to do this when you can do it for way less. Just a few minutes ago, it took me 19 minutes to shoot 25 ads to Craigslist. This is the same program that can do what I needed to do with the programs that cost $300 more.

It's called the Ad Master and I highly recommend it if you're planning on doing a lot of posting. It costs $197 and is the difference between posting 500 ads in one day as opposed to 50 ads in one day.

Regardless of which direction you decide to take, good luck in your business endeavors.

Till next time...

Creating Several GMail Accounts To Use For Any Purpose

Are you creating several GMail accounts?

I doesn't matter where you use it, but
here are some things that you want to
know for future reference.

Regardless of how you create your GMail
accounts, whether you use an automated program
like the Auto Account Creator or do it manually (which I
used to do myself), there's a time you want to vary
the use of prefix/suffix on your GMail username
to avoid the GMail flagging system.

While I was creating several of these accounts with
the same prefix/suffix, I didn't realize I had created
too many of them and it caused the Gmail system to
notice simply put a block on further accounts matching
a certain pattern that I had. This happened to me
yesterday afternoon.

Refrain from creating more than 5 accounts per IP
Address, per 24-48 hours. The Gmail system will
refuse to cooperate since it may detect it could be
used for spam. At one time, I was creating 10 accounts
at a time, but for whatever reason, the artificially
intelligent Gmail system stop further email
account creation after the 5th one. It was probably
telling me that I have created enough and didn't need
anymore.

Make sure that the number of characters in your first,
last, and the security question are different. Does
it really matter that much what's in it? Not to me.
Although Gmail may detect only English words, it doesn't
mean that it would understand Chinese, German, Arabic,
or Jibberish.

I don't know where you will use your accounts, but I
use the ones I create for posting on Craigslist, since
that other artificially intelligent brainless beast will
block ads if you put too many ads that link to the
same email address. In fact and it has already hap-
pened, Craigslist has been disallowing ads to go live
if the domain names are from a small to medium-sized
business, but they won't refuse all ads to go live if
linked from either a Yahoo or Gmail account - they
know too better to block a Gmail or a Yahoo account
since most of their customers either have accounts
coming from those domain names.

I won't say how many email accounts I have from
either Gmail or Yahoo, but I have enough to do
some power posting on Craigslist if I have to. If you
ever watched the video about me using the Auto
Account Creator, you'll probably have an idea how
many accounts I may have.

Well, I just want to alert you in regards to creating
multiple GMail accounts. If time is a factor in creating
GMail accounts and you plan on using the data that
this program created for something else, like the
Easy Ad Poster, I encourage you to try out the
Auto Account Creator. It really makes life easier for
you when you create GMail accounts because there
is virtually little or no guess work at all.

Thanks for your leadership...Till next time...

Advertising With Ease On Craigslist

Are You Currently Posting On Craigslist?

Tired Of Creating Email Accounts And Its Corresponding Craigslist
Accounts Consuming Your Valuable Time Knowing That You Will
Need Several GMail And Its Associated Craigslist Accounts To Make
Sure Your Accounts Will Stick?

The Auto Account Creator will make your life easier
when creating these accounts.

Watch the video below so you can see for yourself how
powerful is this program and how it can help you
streamline your advertising on Craigslist.



You can always do this manually, but why bother
doing it if this can help you take the guesswork out
of creating Gmail and its corresponding Craigslist
accounts.

However, there's more to this. You will need a Sprint
Data Card. I believe you can still get the Sierra Wireless
Air Card 595U, like the one I have because you're going
to need it if you want to change your IP Address and
create more than 5 gmail and its associated craigslist
accounts. I pay $59.95 a month. You can also use DSL,
Dial-up, or any other Data Card, but you can't use
your cable modem to do this campaign because IP
addresses are not easily changed, unlike what I've
already mentioned.

It will at least improve your business process much better
by not having to create it manually.

However, that's not all. You will also need the following:

Easy Ad Poster - I currently use the Standard Edition
(costs $97), but boy, every post you do with Craigslist
will require you to enter the CAPTCHA code. (The Deluxe
version is HIGHLY recommended if you want to skip
entering the CAPTCHA code and potentially be able
to run your Craigslist posting system 24/7)

IP Green - disconnects you from the Internet after a
certain number of posts have been made. It will reconnect
you back to the Internet with a new IP address. Craigslist
is known to ghost ads when more than 3 posts were done
using the same IP address. I tested the trial version and it
works great with Easy Ad Poster. One license costs $197,
3 costs $247, and 5 costs $297.

PostMore24 - turns your machine into a 24/7/365 posting
machine. Set up your campaigns, determine where and
when you want to post, do more valuable things like following
up with prospects.

When you have this as part of your Craigslist advertising
arsenal, you'll start seeing those leads come in.

As of April 1, 2008, I have the Sprint Data Card, the Auto
Account Creator, and the Easy Ad Poster Standard Edition.
I'm planning to upgrade to the Easy Ad Poster Deluxe edition
(a pain in the ass to enter those CAPTCHA codes when I
post on Craigslist) and get a 3-user license of IP Green.

Once I have this in my system, I can leave the computer
unattended when I do my posting on Craigslist.

Dominate Craigslist With The Auto Account Creator,
The Easy Ad Creator, and IP Green

If you're launching a campaign to advertise your
products and services on Craigslist, you cannot afford
not to have these as part of your arsenal.

Are You Posting On Craigslist Regularly?

As you all know, I post a lot of ads on Craigslist for my business and needed to use several email addresses and Craigslist accounts to make sure that those ads will stick. However the bad part is creating email addresses with gmail or yahoo and Craigslist accounts take time. Well with this program called Auto Account Creator, you can create gmail or yahoo and its corresponding Craigslist accounts in a snap. Due to the timing requirements required by Craigslist to make sure that they think I'm not using any automated software, I give it about 8-10 minutes to create the accounts.

However, before you consider purchasing this program, you should already know how to do the following manually:

• Create a Gmail account manually and make sure it's forwarded to the email address of your choosing.
• Create a Craigslist account and tie that Gmail email address to your account by verifying that you created that account.

Otherwise, you're not going to have any appreciation on how to harness the power of the Auto Account Creator.

Watch a video below on how you can witness the power of this program:



Now you see how easy that thing works. However, make sure you have the following already in place or you won't be able to get it running:

• Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or better Installed
• Microsoft Dot.NET Framework Version 3.5 - the Auto Account Creator program relies on the guts of the dot.NET framework version 3.5 to work, so you need to have this installed or some features won't run.
  
• Internet Explorer 7 - For some reason, the Auto Account Creator (AAC) program won't run on IE6. You will wind up with the "Action Canceled" message when you run the AAC program once you click on the "Create Accounts" button. When I upgraded to IE7, it finally worked after going through the hoops.
  

One other thing though. Be sure to limit the creation of your Gmail/Craigslist accounts to 5 at a time for each IP Address because Craigslist checks for a pattern, like the 1st 3 characters of your gmail accounts or the last 3 or 4 characters or your gmail accounts. If it matches the filters, posting on Craigslist using those accounts will be blocked and your ads won't stick.

Now that I mentioned this term called IP Address, what you need to know is that this is an address assigned by your internet service provider that may be configured automatically by your firewall/router device. This address is logged by Craigslist whenever you visit their site. However, Craigslist lets you post up to a certain amount per 48 hours, like up to 4 per email per IP Address. If you can change the IP Address assigned to your router, you would be able to post an additional 4 ads on Craigslist. However, the changing of the IP Address can only work if you have the following:

• Dial-Up - A little slow, but every time you disconnect and reconnect, you get a new IP Address assigned to you.
• DSL - Faster than dial-up, uses the same phone line as your land line, but you may have to manually switch the power of your DSL device, the sure thing to disconnect from the Internet, wait 10 seconds, then turn the power back on. It works the same way as dial-up in terms of disconnecting and reconnecting. You get a new IP address assigned to your computer.
• Sprint 595U Data Card - I just recently subscribed to this service. Got the datacard for free, plug it in my usb port, install the software on my laptop that comes with it, and I can disconnect and resconnect any time and would get a new IP Address assigned to my computer when I do that. In addition, I can bring my laptop anywhere I want to be. The software works for both the mac os x and the pc.

The use of a permanent connection will not work out because you'll be limited to that same IP address. That doesn't mean you should give up that permanent connection. You can subscribe for an IP Proxy service, but that's gonna be a little bit expensive with minimum monthly starting at $140 for 30 IP addresses. However, with this system, you can really flex your muscles by being able to create at least 100 GMail/Craigslist accounts at one time. If you sign up for 62 IP addresses, then double that power, but you better be a serious Craigslist marketer if you're going to get this.

Now that you read about the ability to automate the task of creating Gmail/Craigslist accounts. On my next blog post, I'll discuss how to automate the posting of your ads on Craigslist using the Easy Ad Poster and IP Green.
