CB Marketing idea... your thoughts

I hate writing articles but will if I must.

I've been very succsessful with EPN ($2700 this month as of the 16th) just by working my a** off posting for sale ads on CraigsList that link to my site which has my affiliate links.

I want to do the same for CB, and see the same or better results, however CL is not a good place for CB products. I did get one sale by answering questions on yahoo answers.

Is this the right approach if I dont like writing articles, or is there a similar approach that I can take similar to posting all day long?

If you tell me I must write articles to be successful then thats what Ill do.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

Malk, you must write articles to be successful... well, okay, it's not a MUST. But you're seriously chopping your legs off by not utilising them.

 

Malkeezer, congrats on the great earnings. that is a lot more than a lot of people.

I would recommend you do some more work on yahoo answers if you hate writing articles that much. Still some work to do, but I know how you feel about writing. I assume your using two yahoo answers accounts, if not, do that it helps a lot.

Otherwise, RTR is right, article marketing is good stuff.

If you don't mind my asking how have you been so successful at marketing on craigslist without getting banned?
(I don't know anything about EPN)

 

Guys, there are a 101 ways to sell anything, just because everyone here does it doesn't mean article marketing is the only way that works.

 

Could you tell me more about what you do on craigslist?

 

On a bum budget ($0) you DO NOT have to write articles to make money. I have 17 articles to my name and I do pretty well. Sure, articles help, but there are plenty of other ways to make it happen, as Lemonarian stated.

Alternatives?
Stumble, Digg, Squidoo, Hubpages, Craigslist (and other classifieds including Ebay), signatures, offline advertising, and the list goes on...

 

I have started to get a lot of traffic from a hubpage that I haven't submitted any articles for, yet it ended up reaching the front page of google for the keyword which I'm using. All I have done so far is a lot of social bookmarking and drirectory submissions. I'm going to try and hit it with some articles because i want that #1 spot and I don't care how long it takes for me to get it!

 

As for craigslist, they allow you to post 8 items per day per user per ip address, I have 5 accounts and I use a dialup connection to do the posts, so every 8 posts, I log out, delete cookies, disconnect the dialup and log in to craigs under a different user. So in about 2 hours I do exactly 40 posts. Which yeilds about 4000 clickthrus a day.

 

I'm sorry, I've not too familiar with craigslist but I assume they serve ads for free. And if this would work for cj, why can't it work with CB?. I mean, you could just include your hoplink or landing page address, right?.

 

I could but its a community maintained site, and any user could remove my post by flagging it. They dont like digital products, or hoplinks or affilate links too much. Everything Ive been doing for EPN are physical products (Things you can touch....)

 

I joined that site some months back, but i couldn't really figure it out. I never understood where to find the different categories.

So where do you often place your ads there, the forum?

by the way, congrats on the success you've had there!
