    Craigslist Marketing
    anyone use craigslist to market properly?

    im not talking about those spam auto emailers.

    i need a post software to load all my ads in and post a lil faster. i do not need a auto poster so to say
    just a program to load my ads in so as i do it i dont have to copy and paste every single ad. i can just click and go.

    i been using the firefox auto fill but i can seem to get it to work right. anyone help me find a program to work.

    i sell real goods locally as well as sell items from my website promote my website and i use an auto responder for all c.l accounts i have to send an ad to everyone who emails me just to get the ad out.

    but any ideas on how to
    • get a post program
    • get the firefox autofill to work properly
    • marketing ideas
    • other sites to market to.

    By the way
    the
    Image Verification
    is such a pain in the butt

    Is using classifieds sites useful to get traffic? How do you post such ads? Which sites are you using? Some examples would be useful.

    you are definitely in a prime position to do something with craigslist. The thing about it is that they have rules that you have to go by. Learn those rules.

    You could use automated software but the conversion rate with getting them to stick will be horrible. They will be ghosted and flagged left and right. Automation software doesn't really work anymore these days. The only way to reduce that is to post manually. I work for a large posting firm in New York and we manage hundreds of clients. Let me know if this would be something you would be interested in.

    Never have any success with automated software. Try locating an reliable guy to post for you.

    Lots of people are making a living off of craigslist. 40-50 mil visits a month - it's a lot of traffic. But they have also made it very difficult to use any auto-posting softwares. Posting manually is the way to go.

    You would probably be more successful if you manually copy and paste text into the text fields and manually post ads yourself. However, if you use the same exact text in each ad, Craigslist will detect it as spam and you won't be able to post. Also, if you use automated posting software that posts ads quickly, CL will probably block you and your ads won't show up. CL is smart and knows that people try to game the system by posting self promoting ads. They have developed & advanced enough to block the spammers.

    Some 4 years back you could post ads by using a software on craigslist. But nowadays only manual posting is possible and that too only native americans can post on USA craigslist cities. So do not try to post if you are not usa based or take help of posters from USA.

    When I need multiple CL ads posted, I outsource the work using fiverr. I've spent $20 on fiverr in one day, and added 50 to 60 leads to my list. I also made some instant sales that paid me back more than I spent on the fiverr gigs.

    As far as I can tell, there are trolls everywhere on Craigslist scouring the promotions and discussions both actually searching for a reason to create advertisers misery. They HATE advertisers with a driving ardor. I'm not declaring you would not be able to get around that, booooom you doubtlessly should realize totally new possibilities.

    CLadblaster is a great reliable poster. Ive been using it for a good while and for the most part it gets all my ads out into craigslist with minimal flagging. Give em a call at 760-230-3097 maybe they can set u up with something that works for you. Just ask for Buddy he was my agent. He reviewed my posts and helped me fix my flagging issues and coached me on all the rules craigslist uses when flagging posts. Hope this helps. :D

    Here's how to market on Craigslist in 2015.

    You can post 4 ads per day, per account, per IP address.

    You may seem to be able to post more. You can see you ads getting posted, but they're actually not. They are being ghosted. The ads look like they are there, but you are the only one that can see them.

    Is this discussion about physical products or digital products and putting ads on Craigslist?

    I am an affiliate marketer and I was advised that ads on CL is not allowed.

    Can someone clarify this for me?
