My Craigslist Posting - Total Automation, Less Frustration

Would You Like To Learn How To Post 20, 50, Or Even 100 Ads On Craigslist Without Having To Babysit The Computer?

Are You Frustrated With Posting In Craigslist?

I've been posting on Craigslist since January. I'm still learning the ropes as I post the programs I sell and since I'm involved in network marketing, I also post the business opportunity.

I didn't learn how to advertise on this site without the frustration of my ads not showing up. Lots of resources have been used to get me to where I am in the Internet marketing industry and I'm pretty sure it will get better in the long run.

Because of the awesome traffic I'm getting from this blog and the traffic that I get from my sites through posting on Craigslist and some other forums, I decided to put a massive effort in placing posts on this several sites. Because Craigslist gets about 6 billion visits per month and probably counting, I decided to use this to my advantage.

Last Friday, I upgraded from getting the Easy Ad Poster Standard Edition to the Easy Ad Poster Deluxe. Since then, I was able to place massive ads on Craigslist, although I get like a 66 percent rate of my ads going live on this beast. However, I've been posting on the more challenging categories. At least one thing I don't have to do...that is babysitting my computer in entering all those captcha codes. I've posted several ads on Craigslist on various products and services, and 66% of them went live. Less than 1% of my ads that went live got flagged, but I figured that they could be from competitors. Nevertheless, the campaign continues. Oh yeah, I've converted a few sales, got 10 leads for one product and 11 leads for another product and they're all generated by yours truly.

However, one thing I recommend you do is if you want to really take Internet Marketing seriously, you should be consistent in your marketing, regardless on what method you use. One of my friends has worked really hard in getting promoted to her first leadership level (name and company withheld) using the post card method because she's got that method close...as close to the Pauli Exclusion Principle numbers...down to a science. She's able to control what she can do, but it's not up to her on whether she brings in a piece of business. Just as you market your products and services, it's up to you to market, but it's not up to you to get them to buy into them. I'd expect 1 out of 10 to be a customer.

But you should not put Craigslist advertising on the back burner. This site is going to be here for the long haul. According to Erik Welker of Craigslist Masters, Craigslist has projected that they will make an excess of 80 million this year. Although advertising in this site is free for most cases, they only charge if you post and ad for jobs in the high traffic sites of major U.S. cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York. They charge like $75 for a 30-day ad in San Francisco while they charge $25 to post a 30-day ad in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County (California), Boston, Portland (OR), Seattle, Boston, New York Metro, and the Washington D.C. area. If you're advertising rental in New York, they charge a real generous fee (unlike the newspapers) for a 30-day ad.

One other reason why you should advertise on Craigslist because Google indexes those ads due to its time sensitivity. So if you're advertising how to avoid being ghosted by typing Ghosted By Craigslist you're most likely to either be found on Craigslist or through Google if someone searches using Craigslist Ghosting as the keyword. So you can get Google traffic for free through Craigslist, but you better be posting continuously or all this effort means nothing if you don't have consistency.

However, you need to have several email accounts. I recommend using multiple GMail or Yahoo accounts and strongly recommend that you rotate them to ensure a higher rate of your ads going live. On my previous post, I've demonstrated how you can create 5 GMail Accounts and its corresponding Craigslist accounts on my last blog post. This was using the Auto Account Creator (more info how to get it...) and it's simple to use. If you watch the video, you'll get an idea how it works. In about an hour, I was able to create 60 accounts.

Getting your ads to go live on Craigslist is a challenge. If you want to get to as close as conquering it, go to the link below. There's no better way of taming this beast. Don't be cheap. Learn it now because you cannot afford not to if you're going to get ahead in this industry.

Well, I'll be going now. Kinda late here and gotta crash. Till next time...Tataa...

P.S.

Marketing on Craigslist is a challenge with the high risk of getting ghosted if you don't know what you're doing. Therefore, I encourage you to take a look at Craigslist Masters. This is a highly recommended resource where you'll be able to network with other marketers and you cannot afford not to learn about how this beast works.

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.
