1. Definitely not a great way, but can bring in a few dollars if you find the perfect offer for people who are looking for "deeply discounted" things.
2.If by ad posting software you mean software that posts your creative material on a schedule, then you may want to look into it further.Word press will let you schedule posts for free. If you are referring to material generated for you, then the answer is probably no.
3. Autopilot can mean paying someone else to do the routine work, but generally refers to programs that do not require much effort on your part.
4. Opinions vary greatly, but good quality content, continuously updated is the best I know of, and what is taught here at WA.
5. If you wish to design your own then GIMP is a program you can learn to use, much like Photoshop. Personally I suggest , unless you are a great graphic artist and familiar with the software, that you use Fiverr.com. This website offers many incredible services for $5 each. I have had some great work done by the many people who offer a wide variety of services.
No I am not familiar with GIMP. Fiverr is definitely a great resource. Thanks for the reminder. Have a great day!
I must admit, Craigslist receives a ton of traffic on a daily basis. Backpage is a heavily used site as well. However, Craigslist has many more restrictions.
Hello Beverley,
I have been doing some research on the ad posting software, and all I ever found was positive feedback. Thanks for responding.
1. No idea (but sounds unlikely)
2. No
3. Probably means one of the software programs where it will automatically generate blog posts for you. (not a good idea). You can also have your blog posts pre-scheduled - so they will automatically be published (not quite auto-pilot)
4. Quality content, quality content, quality content. There isn't any better way.
5. Learn to use gimp.

I can help you out with question #1. I posted craigslist ads about 2 times a week. And received about 20 invites from it. I set up a tracking link and I think about 500 people ended up clicking on the link in December. But out of the 20 invites I had from cragislist only 4 i believe completed their profile. I have seen a much higher rate from my website even though I got only about 5 invites from my website in dec. 3 of them completed their profile. (My website is still really new).
I am guess this is because most of the stuff on craigslist are online scams. If you are going to post ads on craigslist make sure to not guarantee income like the other listings just stress that WA is a learning site and will teach you what you need to know to make money online the legit way.
Thanks for responding. No, I would NEVER post ads with a guarantee of income. The OPPORTUNITY to make extra income (residual over time) would be my focus. Most of the ads on craigslist ARE scams. I found a pretty good service that I am about to promote.
exactly! Hopefully it gets you some new invites!
