Introduction

Craigslist is a free online classifieds sites. It is a localised online communities and forums where you can find anything from it, for example, jobs, housing, goods, services, advice, etc. To take advantage from craigslist.com, you can post your advertisement in it Free of Charge via their link -> http://www.craigsorg/list.about/help/posting_fees .

1. Operation to Post Ads on Craigslist

Ads on Craigslist can be text, text with an image, or just an image. For instance, let's use images for ads.

1.1 Create Ad on Craigslist

Firstly you have better create an image for your ad posting. This has several advantages over posting an ad with text including:

• 1.1.1 Your ad stands out as something unique (most people only do text)
• 1.1.2 You can include text on your ad image that would not normally be allowed by the site.

1.2 Create Images

You’ll need to find some suitable images. You can use Google or Bing. Then search for images using the appropriate keywords or terms.

1.3 Upload Image To The Internet

You needs to upload the image to the internet so that Craigslist ad can display its link.

• 1.4.1) Create an account on photobucket.com/
• 1.4.2) upload image
• 1.4.3) copy the Direct link (you’ll need this next to put in craigslist)

1.4 Creating Your Account

You will need a Craigslist account to place ads. You can create your account at https://accounts.craigslist.org/signup

1.5 Placing An Ad

After logging in, choose your city. Craigslist is comprised of localised communities, and there are many, many Craigslist sites. I would suggest choosing a city close to you, or at least in the same country. Step through the creating a post procedure, choosing a Job of type Sales or Business/Mgmt.

1.6 Posting Ad Title

Enter some text similar to what you put on the image, and on your opt-in page. To make your Title stand out from others, add some special characters which you can find the HTML codes for on this page:

1.7 Posting Ad Description

Now you need to create an link for your opt-in page from you image.

In the text below…

<a href=”url”>Image</a>

• 1.9.1) replace url with your optin page link
• 1.9.2) replace Image with the img text from your Photobucket site.

The result will be something like

<a href=”http://m0be.com/roma771/df14e773”><img src=”http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/dav1d6/entrepreneur-500px.jpg”></a>

This text is then pasted into the Posting Description on Craigslist.

Click Continue, and on the next page click Done With Images (no need to upload any images).

Review that the posting looks ok (you should see your image) and click publish. That’s all of the operation procedure.
