So I am fairly new to the affiliate marketing game and I have a couple of very newbie questions about posting on craigslist. If I want to market products on craigslist, how can I safely post ads in major cities without getting banned? -I am NOT looking to do mass posting of 1000's of ads -I am willing to write all of the ads myself to make them each unique -I am not going to put direct links in the ads. (I was planning on using an auto-response email with the link in it, but if someone has a better way please let me know) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You goto craigslist site and post your ads in the niche.I used to post in craigslist but did't get any good result.
yea but won't I get banned from craigslist if I am posting ads in a bunch of different cities that I obviously don't live in.
Maybe I am being naive here but if I understand you two correctly, you are saying, if I write the ads myself and don't make them look like spam, and don't post too many to the same cities etc that I won't get banned? With all the stuff I have read about CL I just feel like there is something I have to be missing. -do I need to use multiple accounts on CL? will it matter? -anyone have any vague guidelines on how ofter I might be able to post in the different cities etc?
Making money with CL is MUCH harder than most people say. CL works REALLY hard at cutting out any illegitimate offers, meaning you have to be very skilled (and experienced) to beat their system.
You won't get banned. All CL will do is your ad will get flagged and deleted. Banning/blocking would only happen I believe if you were hammering CL fast and hard with lots of ads, somethign you said you aren't going to do. The most common problem you are going to face is people flagging your ads once you get them to go live (other than ghosting or actually getting them to show up in the first place).
thanks for the info guys, I guess I am going to give it a shot, without over doing the number of ads, and see what happens.
Don't post from the same IP address more than 8 times. You can post as a guest (without a CL account), but you will need a different email address for every few posts. Using an auto-responder is iffy too, because to many people it seems like a bait-and-switch scheme and they don't like that.
Making money on craigslist is super easy, as far as getting banned i know all about that and every way around it ill pm you and fill you in
