Craigslist is a popular classifieds portal. If you advertise here, you can generate a lot of free leads for your business. The best option is to direct potential customers to your squeeze page so you can send them to your mailing list. Here are 4 easy steps to advertise on this popular portal.
1. City Choice: Craigslist is organized by city. You need to choose the city you want to advertise. Not all cities have given a good response. Therefore, it's important to find out which cities are best for your niche ads. I use an easy way to do this - search for trends on Google. Use this information to select the city you want to advertise.
2. Phone number: Craigslist allows only one phone number per ad. Therefore, if you want to place different ads, you may need to use a different phone number. This is because they use a mobile phone verification system to verify real advertisers. So try using your spouse's phone or your parent's phone or someone you trust.
3. Email account: You also need as many email accounts as your phone number. You can create a free email account for this purpose on Gmail or Hotmail. Then you need to create the same number of accounts. For each account, please provide a unique phone number. You will receive a phone or SMS code that you will need to enter to complete the account registration process.
4. Post an ad: You need so many accounts because you can only post 3 ads every 48 hours. So for multiple accounts, you can replace your account and make a monthly advertising plan. Craigslist ads require 3 things - title, body and link. Make sure each ad headline is unique because it doesn't allow duplicate ads from different accounts. For the body, you can choose to use text or images. If you are using an image, you will need to host the image on the image server and then provide an image link on Craigslist.
If you are a beginner to Craigslist, you may need some time to find out which ads are right for you. Try different versions of your ads and the different cities you publish, and you'll find out which cities are eligible for which ads. Then you can focus your campaigns on these cities to bring more potential customers to your business.
