Imagine the possibilities of owning a site that gets that as much traffic as Craigslist. It is something we all dream of but very few even come close. Well, I cannot tell you how to come up with a site that gets as much traffic as Craigslist. However, I can tell you how to tap into the massive amounts of traffic it receives so you can make some quick and easy profits!

I have been marketing online for years now and I saw the immediately potential to make huge money using Craigslist so I started thinking of how I could do it quickly, easily, and without spending any money.

You may find it difficult to believe, but it is easily possible for someone to earn a living from Craigslist. As more and more people have begun to realize, there are a number of different options available to Craigslist users if they are willing to put in a little hard work so they can earn a living online.

For beginners, it is important that you have learned everything that there is that one needs to know about online communities like Craigslist or BackpagePlus, learning how to market themselves, as well as their products or skills, to those who might be interested in what they have to offer, has now become business.

The great thing about offering your services or products on Craigslist, compared to providing them in the more conventional manner, is that you are setting no cap on just how much you can earn and the advertising is FREE!. But using this method does not mean that you will earn lots, mainly it will depend on what you are offering to others.

Promoting Your Mlm Or Home Business On Craigslist:

If you're in a MLM or Home Base Business then you can advertise your business opportunity on the small biz ads. If you are going to advertise your MLM or home business on Craigslist you need to make your ad stand out from the rest. There are millions of MLM's advertising on the small biz section so you need to separate yourself from the rest. Branding yourself as a leader is a must.

Example ad:

Title: "Partner with a successful entrepreneur for a 125k plus first year income"

Description: "Work hands on with a proven successful online millionaire. I have set up a step-by-system that I have mastered that you can plug right into and create instant success. I am only accepting success driving business minded individuals that have the mindset and work ethic it takes to create a 6-figure income from home."

Every other ad you might see might look like this:

Title: "Make 15,345 in 3 days!"

Description: "Make huge cash from home. Join the #1 home business in the world. Get started today and become financially free and time free".

Do you see the difference? You will get much better response with the first ad. Would you agree? You have to stand out from the rest of the people that are advertising. People are looking for leaders that can help them get to where they want to be.

If your not that good at writing go to the small biz ads section and scroll down till you see a title that makes you click on it. I do not recommend stealing their title but you can get ideas on how to write good click through titles.

Combining The Power Of eBay And Craigslist For Easy Cash:

If your want to make some quick easy cash you can combine the power of Craigslist with with the power of ebay. Let me explain how.

The first thing you need to do is sign up for the eBay Affiliate Program if you are not already an affiliate. It is very easy to do and it is free.

The eBay affiliate program is through Commission Junction (CJ) so after signing up you will be sent an email from CJ. It will contain your log-in information and there will be a form attached to it that YOU MUST mail or fax to them. DO NOT forget to do this because it is required. Details are in the email.

OK now that you are an eBay affiliate it's time to start using them to make money on Craigslist. Go to the "wanted" ads on Craigslist. They are under the "for sale" section in about the middle of the page.
You will see all sorts of different ads for people wanting various items.

A large percentage of the items people want are being sold on eBay. So all you have to do is find what they want on eBay. Then reply to their Craigslist ad telling them you have found what they are looking for and give them your affiliate link to the item on eBay. Its that simple.

Most of the time people looking on Craigslist might not even think to look on ebay. When they buy the item their looking for you make a commission from ebay. The bigger the item the more commissions for you.

Small Business Owners:

If you're a small business owner you can utilize the power of Craigslist in order to reach a much larger target audience which will then help your business grow. There are a couple of advantages from using Craigslist.

Craigslist allows the small business owner to post an advert in the most appropriate category on the site. This can be extremely effective, as it now receives more than 20 billion page views each month, so there is potential for any small business to be able to reach a much larger and more potentially lucrative audience than they would using any other method of advertisement.

Craigslist allows you to use the discussion forum which can help you generate even greater profits for your business. But you should be careful on how you use promotional postings on these forums, as some people may mistake them for being spam.

There is a very distinct way in which a person can post information regarding their business to these forums so that they are found informative by the readers, instead of it looking like spam, which is solely used to promote a business and nothing else.

Unfortunately, those businesses who use spamming are not only likely to find that they get overlooked by those in the forum, but may well find that Craigslist moderators will actually delete whatever it is that they have posted. They could even take much more severe action against that business, banning them from using their listings altogether.
