But just to be sure, I went back and also posted some text ads and so far only the image ads have worked well. I had my best ever one day sales last Monday so I’m now confident that I can grow my sales even more, by using this technique and posting on more Craigslist sites.

If you’re interested in trying out something similar there are full instructions with a video tutorial to download right here. You’ll have to be patient because its a big download (70mb) but its worth it!

Only Buy Things You Need

Raise your hand if you have bought something on Craigslist that you really didn’t need. Yep, raise your hand because we have all likely done it. I have two empty dressers that are sitting here unused, but I didn’t want to pass them up because they were only $5 each. I keep telling myself one day… I will use them! If even you only spend $5 on an item that you don’t really need, that five dollars could easy add up to a couple hundred dollars by the end of the year.

Free Isn’t Always Free

Deal seekers like to scoop up free things listed on Craigslist just because they are free. This is ideal, but you are still spending money. You still have to drive to pickup the item in question. So, make sure the freebie is even worth it. For curb alerts, where items are just placed by the curb on a first come first serve basis, it is best to act quick. You do nothing but waste gas and time by driving to pickup the items only to learn that someone beat you there.

Compare Prices

A lot of us (myself included) don’t price compare when buying on Craigslist because we automatically assume we are getting the best deals. However, this isn’t always true. Since eBay has raised their fees, some sellers find it impossible to make money and many of these sellers have turned to Craigslist and they are in it to make a profit. You also get the occasional sellers who don’t understand that used should automatically mean a discount off the original selling price. If looking for a desk, you should have at least four or five to choose from and that is only if you live in a small city. Compare the other desk listings on Craigslist.org to ensure the prices are inline. Avoid anything that is too high.

Download a Craigslist Search Program

Craigslist search programs do cost money, so you may wonder how they prevent you from going broke. They enable you to search more locations and categories at once (something Craigslist.org doesn’t do). You can also edit your lists to eliminate items that are poor in quality or too expensive, giving you a shorter list to price compare. Good deals don’t go quick on Craigslist, so you need to search quickly and often to find them. Craigslist search programs allow you to do that.

My sales of the two products I mentioned are up and the CTR has doubled in just one week. I’ll keep you updated and tell you more about this system when I’m sure that its not just a bit of beginner’s luck.

The two web pages I want to promote are important pages because one is about an affiliate product which is my best selling item on Clickbank and the other is about getting to understand and use Twitter for profit and pleasure.

Both of the web pages have a free downloadable report so its worth visitors going there to collect the free reports which are really useful anyway. If anyone also wants to buy the high value products… that would be very nice too.

The pages I’m using for my Craigslist experiment are:

• Cover Letter Secrets
• All About Twitter

I’m trying to use the Craigslist classified ads to my advantage but without running foul of the terms of service – I don’t want to get banned, but I do want to make all my efforts count, so I’m using a slightly unorthodox method of placing ads which is undetectable so won’t cause me any problems.

I only placed ads in three locations: New York city, Chicago and Florida so the increase in sales is quite remarkable.

I’m going to add some new locations this week, maybe even try the UK for different traffic sources.

I’ll update gain in a few days and see what happens next.

Information is available that you can access immediately and lay your concerns to rest, once and for all.

Along with Atlanta and Dallas, Miami is hailed as one of major cities of the “New South,” meaning that it is an expanding, progressive Southern city with a growing global influence. One of the reasons for this is the vast cultural diversity which exists in Miami, due largely to foreign immigration into the city over the last several decades. This has contributed to building Miami’s vivacious music and club scene, considered by many to be the liveliest in the country. If you’re clueless about where to go and what to do in the Miami scene, look to Craigslist to lend a hand.

Craigslist is a network of sites for communities throughout the United States and around the globe. The Craigslist network helps connect people for things like garage sales, apartment subleases, job interviews, and even romantic encounters. Formed in 1995 as a network for just the San Francisco Bay Area, Craigslist boasts over 550 sites worldwide as of 2008. Each site represents a different U.S. state, Canadian province, or global city. This huge growth in just over a decade was managed with a staff that never exceeded 24 people. With a few exceptions, advertising on Craigslist is free, and postings are organized into various major categories and subsections for easy browsing and navigation.

If you are in Miami and faced with impending boredom, a good first step toward staving it off is to head to Craigslist Miami and begin browsing the “community” section.  In particular, you may want to start in either the “activities” or “events” board. The activities board typically contains smaller, more individual or pair activities. For instance, you can find someone looking for a swimming partner, or someone posting to find volleyball  players to field a tournament team. The events board is where you’ll find some of the club happenings, among other things. Just a quick glance at the events calendar yields some apparently entertaining prospects such as a “belly dance spectacular” and a “Bjork costume party.” These are just the tip of the iceberg for events in Miami.

Perhaps you are into something more low key, or even would like to learn a new skill while you keep yourself busy. For that, there is the “classes” board. Here you can find about myriad types of classes being offered in Miami, from salsa dancing to American Sign Language to voice training. No matter which method seems most appealing to you, they are all great ways to do something exciting and fun while meeting new people around South Florida.

There are numerous other offerings within the community section of Craigslist Miami. There are boards dedicated to advertising group meetings, assembling car pools, finding child care, and even a section to help reunite lost items and pets with their owners. Each of these is worth a look, if for no other reason than to teach you some more about the great city of Miami and the people and happenings within it.

One of the oldest major cities in the United States, Boston is home to both the first public school and first college (Harvard) in the country. It is a city with great historical and educational– as well as cultural– significance. All the various educational institutions make Boston a mecca of higher education, and the associated university hospitals make it a mecca of health care. Being home to so many institutions of higher learning means Boston is also home to many young people, a lot of whom are single and looking for companionship. If you are among this group, a good place to connect with potential companions is Craigslist.

Craigslist is a network of sites for communities throughout the United States and around the globe. The Craigslist network helps connect people for things like garage sales, apartment subleases, job interviews, and even free stuff. A unique and novel idea at the time, it initially began as a resource for the San Francisco Bay Area in 1995. By 2006, there was a Craigslist site representing each of 450 cities worldwide. With a few exceptions, advertising on Craigslist is free, and postings can be placed in myriad sections, all organized into major categories for easy browsing and navigation.

To begin your quest for romance, first navigate your way to Boston Craigslist, then locate the “personals” section. This section is divided into several boards, each aimed at helping users with different tastes and preferences. There are the usual “women seeking men” and “men seeking women” boards, but also “men seeking men” and “women seeking women” boards aimed at the LGBT community. If you’re looking for something with less commitment involved, you may want to check out the “casual encounters” board. There are even boards for “strictly platonic” relationships and the “missed connections” board, where you can post an ad looking for that possible special someone that you passed on meeting.

Before beginning to browse for Mister or Miss Right, there are a few rules to be followed.

• First, you must be at least 18.
• Second, you must be willing to view adult content, as this may be included in Craigslist personals.
• Third, you must agree to inform CL staff (called “flagging”) of any listings which are illegal or violate the Craigslist terms of use.
• Lastly, by viewing personal ads, you release Craigslist from any potential liability.

Upon entering a personals forum, you will notice a warning at the bottom of the page about safe sex practices. There are a few links to available online resources, which may be useful to check out before getting too involved in the quest for romantic conquest.

Keeping these rules and cautions in mind, it is simple to search through the forums to find your special someone. No matter who or what you’re looking for in a relationship, there is a forum aimed at you on Boston Craigslist. With Craigslist, you can browse for exactly what you’re looking for and make direct contact with a poster, all from your personal computer.
