There will be at least 5 parts to this, maybe more depending on feedback, I will be very simply outlining the process map that I use to make profitable offers on Craigslist, the tools that I use ( which are primarily free ) and the various permutations of each approach ( one of the challenges of " power posting" on CL is you do sort of need to keep your eye on which way the wind is blowing – or you find yourself wasting a good part of your day on ads that " go green" but simply aren’t running – or making you any money. )
But this really isnt’ about Craigslist – CL is just a really good source for good free traffic, and on the back of the sheer volume of page views and eyeballs your offer will get if you are dillegent with it – but at the end of the day, these principles are the foundational elements of any good marketing effort that involves using * advertising * ( in this case for free ) to drive traffic to your site, service or offer.
Stay tuned. Should have the first piece of this up within 24 hours. And don’t forget – if you have a specific question of conundrum, drop me a note and I’ll try to address it in the podcast.
Hey Ian,
Your Craigslist information is highly intriguing. I am really enjoying the info as well as your easy to read writing style. Looking forward to future updates! -

Hi. I am new to affiliate marketing and hear a lot of buzz about people using Craig’s List to promote their products and services. I have a business opportunity, but it would cost $25 per listing to place my ad in that category (not to mention it would probably be lost in the sea of a thousand others). I tried to post in a specialized category, but it says that it won’t allow URLs, so my affiliate link blows it. How can I advertise free without getting blocked? Thanks!
