CraigsList Power Posting - any experience/reviews on that product?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by kcfried, Mar 11, 2008.

    I've got a financial services business, and we do work with clients nationwide. I started posting our ads on CraigsList, but of course, they get real cranky if you post anything other than a text ad in one spot. that just doesn't work. I really do hate CraigsList (due to the self appointed moderators with way too much time on their hands), but it's a very necessary evil. :mad:

    I've been researching different methods for posting to multiple cities on CriagsList since their spam filters went into overdrive, and have been looking at a few various programs.

    One program is Ad Master by Living Easy Software (http://livingeasysoftware.com). It looks to be a monster of an app, and something that may help in getting my ads posted.

    Another one I've found that looks interesting isn't so much an app, but info, scripts, etc for bulk posting. The guy's name is Mark Mattey, and his system is CraigsList Power Posting (http://mwmproductreview.com/). He does have a lot of testimonials from the Digital Point forums, so I thought I'd come directly to you guys.

    Has anybody used either of these two products, and what are your thoughts on them?

    My last option has been to write my own script that drives the IE browser around CL and generates the randomness in my ads that's needed. I'm making headway, but signing up for a boatload of GMail accounts is going to kill me! I did generate some ads that are still online, so that's good news :)

    Actually, I haven't tried any of the apps. I'll look into those two as well.

    I have the ezadsuite deluxe. Very good program. Takes time to get up since it uses tokens and variables but its worth it.

    I would like to know which one works if any I tried to post on craigslist I bought a book or 2 about it and I still can't get ads to display they all get ghosted.

    Craigslist is a pain but eveyone says it is worth it if you can figure out how to get ads to stay up

    If you don't want to go through the hassle of creating tons of gmail accounts manually, I suggest you check out this email creator software so can create unlimited accounts fast which is perfect for CraigsList. It's called Jiffy Creator (http://www.jiffycreator.com), there is a free demo to try it out.

    I don't use any CL software but I somehow manage to make $100 a day profit (on avg) from Craigslist traffic alone! CL has been good to me, however, I don't know how long it will last.

    I have been using the full version of Jiffy Creator for about 2 months now and I think it is great. I just simply fire up the program, enter the username and password I want for the Gmail account, check to have messages forward to my main email, and then click start. It is very fast and efficient (It only takes me about 10-15 seconds to create an account) and the software automatically updates. Hope this helps you out.
