1.   Post Daily: Register at least 4  free email accounts with Gmail, since you can only post every 48 hours, 4 email accounts will let you post daily

  • STEP 1:  You need at least 4 different email addresses, go to gmail (www.gmail.com), then click on Sign up for Gmail, once you have created your account, go to Settings and click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP , then click on Forwarding: Forward a copy of incoming mail to email address, in the email address box  add your primary email address you always use and click Save Changes, the new email address you just created will forward all messages to your primary account
  •  STEP 2: Set up craigslist account(s), go to www.craigslist.com and click on My Account, enter Email / Handle: and Password, when it says Your account needs to be authenticated by phone, enter in your number, craigslist will sent your phone a confirmation code to finish setting up the account, to get another account you need to repeat the process with anothe

2.   Open up a free image hosting account at Photobucket, Craigslist uses ebots that scan ads for similar text and when they find one they FLAG or delete it.  One way around this is to create ads as images. Craigslist ebots cannot see text saved as an image. You can very easily convert text to an image file (jpeg) at http://convert.neevia.com, once you have converted the text to image file, copy and the HTML Code into the craigslist ad Body. very simple

 3.  Copy well written ads.  If you don’t know how to write an ad, search Craigslist for ads that you would click on, after doing this for a while you will get inspiration for writing ads for your similar products and opportunities

 4.   Write multiple headlines for your ad. Try different buzz words, like; free, new, fun, attention, stop, etc, for example: Stop: Realtors Make 10k a Month!!

 5.   Put different symbols, numbers or characters (such as: ###; ***) before or after your subject lines to make each one look different and stand out from your competion ex. ++++ Stop: Realtors Make 10k a Month!!++++

 6.   Using a different IP address will prevent Craigslist from bumping your ad. Your IP Address is a string of numbers based on the exact location of your computer and internet connection. Use the computer’s of your family members, roommates, or a local library.

 7.   Post in the cities and countries with the most traffic to place ads:

San Francisco
Miami 
Los Angeles 
Chicago 
Washington DC 
Phoenix 
Toronto 
New York City 
Seattle 
Houston 
Boston 
San Diego 
Dallas 
United Kingdom

    WOW!! I was doing a Google search for information on the “highest traffic sites on Craigslist” & your post came up!! This is now in my top 3 of the most awesome blog posts I’ve read EVER!!! This totally proves that if you do enough research, you don’t have to pay for a $30-$50 ebook to find this kind of info out… of course, that’s why people make money on ebooks because most people don’t bother to research in the first place!! thanks alot Josh, I’m a single mom & you just saved me money with this! I’ve bookmarked your blog for future reference!!

    I had to mention that I’ve been wanting to do a test run on CL for a product that I have but since I’m new to using the site as a marketing tool, I didn’t know exactly where to start. All I KNEW was that there had to be some kind of power in using CL! $22,950 in less than a month using FREE ads though?!!? OK, I think I’m having a brain orgasm right now, because this other well known top internet marketer showed on his site how he made $40,000 in 3-4 months using ppc/ adwords with an mrr product (but only AFTER paying $100/day in clicks). You made over HALF that in LESS than ONE month… & with a FREE classifieds site?!?!? INSANE!! I’m totally using your techniques!! Sorry for a 2nd paragraph post, but you don’t really understand how excited & motivated I am over this find right now!! Oh yea, the proof pics makes it solid for me!!

    Thanks again :-)

    Celisse,

    I am glad you found my post insightful. I earned $22,950, looking at websites for only 8 minutes a day. The company has a networking component, so the more people you share the opportunity with, the more money you make. Out of all the ways to make money online this is by far the easiest and best. If you are looking to earn some extra money part time go to http://www.foellmer.inetglobal.com and click JOIN NOW, it’s free and only takes a couple minutes.

    I am mentoring everyone that joins , how to make 6 figures a year part time. If you are interested let me know and I will show you how step by step

    Cheers,
    Josh “Billionaire By Thirty” Fuller
