How to Dominate Craigslist & Beat Out Your Competition....
Tips to get your Craigslist Ad to work for you:
1. Use an Eye grabbing Title. Don't use your Name or company Name
2. Post Daily to keep your Ad appearing on top of ad listing. This way it's constantly visible to visitors and not getting lost amongst all the other ads. When posting daily vary the wording of your title and ad body to keep from being flagged as spam and avoid the similar post error.
3. Do not delete and repost your ad too often
4. Sell the benefits of your service in your ad body..create interest, make them want to know more.
5. Link to your website or lead capture page to collect email addresses and to give more teaser information and pics.
6. Put your ad in the proper category. Your ad must relate to the category it's in to avoid possibly being flagged and removed. (See video for how to find best category for your ad)
7. Don't make your ads look too commercial. Keep it Natural
8. Don't put out too many ads at one time. If you have a batch of ads, try posting a new batch every 48 hrs. They should all be different to avoid the similar post error, looking spammy, and being flagged.
9. Test and Track results from your ads to know which category and which ad copy is pulling best for you. Concentrate your marketing on the best performing category.
10. Get to know Craigslist TOS (Terms of Service). Do no try to use black hat methods. No need to be tricky. Craiglist can work for you just by obeying the rules.
11. Use Your Name/Company Name in Signature line
12. Use Characters in beginning of Title. Example ++++Medicine Ball for Sale $10, using the "+" makes your add stand out from other ads.
13. No time to post - hire someone to do it for you
14. Best placement for ads - Services( Beauty, Lessons, Therapeutic),Community ( General & Classes). Of course you will need to test each category for best results.
