    Anyone have any good info/guides to marketing on Craigslist? I'm having trouble figuring out how people are making money since they've instituted things like phone verification.

    Also, where do you post "biz opps"? I thought Craigslist used to have a category for that.

    If you use an autoposter and buy email addresses, you can make tons of posts and make good money. However Craigslists has lawsuits out against all the major autoposters so they aren't allowed to sell them last I checked. They still work if you can get your hands on them and you can definitely make good money on CL but it's a pain with how CL is trying to stop it. And posting manually is tough because CL usualy only allows a few posts a day from a certain IP address.

    What about the phone verification though? Is there a way to bypass that?

    craigslist isn't as good as it used to be for marketing.On average 20% of my ads get ghosted and a lot of my ads get flagged in an hour or so.tried backpage too but there isn't enough traffic to make it worthwhile.
