The answer is YES. Many people including myself have made a killing from cragslist, and it still works, it is not as effective as it used to be in past years but it is still a cash cow and you can still earn a lot from it, a normal marketer who is just starting can easily earn $60-$100 per day depending on how much dedicated and smart he is. When it comes to craigslist most marketer just hide the secrets because they don’t want YOU to be in the competition and they want to keep all the cash in their **** Yeah ‘pockets’ I mean..
Well, I am sure, once you visit the CraigsList website, you will close it within 10 seconds, yes it it ugly, frustrating, stupid looking website, but hey ! you want to milk it - right ? so just ignore their design and don’t under estimate that it can bring you decent cash. So here is a quick intro of CL. It was designed in 1999 where people used to post bulletins, Ads, job postings etc free, it is still free but the difference is that back in 1999 it was limited to a few cities in the US but now its gone global, almost 400-500 cities including international Ads. They do have paid Ads, but its FREE for all, so we will make money with free postings of-course. I will not go into basics but rather throw some money making ideas that actually work.
Ok, once you have familiarized yourself with that text based website, we are ready to go. First you should pick up what you want to promote, your own product ? do you have a product ? if NO, can you spend some money to get your product ready by any freelancer ? if NO, then lets pick affiliate products and find products on Commission Junction or Clickbank.I have found by testing that the most effective cities are New York, Los Angeles, California, Seattle, Florida, San Francisco, and New jersey but depending on your niche and product that you are promoting you can try other cities as well. Ok below are the few quick methods that are very effective;
1. Promote the “Get rich”, “Money Making” products like ebooks, software etc
2. Post Ads in many cities, do not post excessively in one section, it will be flagged and deleted
3. Image Ads are more effective
4. Do not post early in the morning, its important
5. You can always use tools for posting ads (yeah its called spam)
Ok that was easy and hard work, but you will make some decent money through it. Now, lets look it in a different way, why not to approach people who are seeking something ? You might have noticed people post ads when they seek something, now for this you should have a website and an account with eBay, Amazon and/or CJ where you will create a page to that specific product and then contact the buyer and redirect them to that page OR simply hide your affiliate link with tinyurl and contact the buyer and give them that link, they will buy the product and you will get commission. This still works for me, and people also thank me for helping them our, its a win-win situation. haa.
If you go Blackhat and think like an alien, then lets consider posting a job vacancy for people who are interested in working from home, now there are hundreds of thousands of people who wish they could somehow work from home for a few hours and make a lot of money, they can never find a magic formula and they happily pay us for our new report / ebook, lets use them to make some money again. Post an ad and many people will contact you for SURE, I can guarantee you, then using any Autoresponder e.g. GMail, create an email which will be like you are talking to that person and telling them how to work from home, in that email you can promote affiliate products, put CPA offers, stuff your cookie and sky is the limit, think out of the box and there are many other ideas. The good thing is that you are making a good list of people who are seeking jobs, and you can promote many “get rich” products easily and the conversion rate is higher.
Enjoy and post your thoughts, ideas and tricks that work for you.
