How To Use Craigslist In Tandem with eBay

Have you heard of Craigslist? It’s a place where you can target a local audience with a classified add. You can try to sell a product or a service. You can also find jobs, a mate, community information, and much more. Craigslist has been called the new eBay but it really goes beyond what eBay does.

Craigslist was founded in 1997 by Craig Newmark in San Francisco, California. The company continues to be based in San Francisco.

There are a lot of Internet Marketers who have made a lot of money off of Craigslist. There are many ways you can do it. But before you actually start making money you need to first get started on the site.

The actual address of Craigslist is Craigslist.org. You go there and then you complete the posting form and submit the posting. You’ll get an e-mail that has a link to another form that you need to fill-out. With this form you’ll be able to make changes and then submit the posting yourself. Your posting should show-up in Craigslist within 15 minutes or so.

It’s important that you keep the e-mail they sent you so that you have the link you need to get back into your posting should you need to make any other changes. You can also delete your post using that link. However, if you happen to lose the link then you can request to have another link sent to you.

It’s really just that easy for making a post on Craigslist. Of course it is for local sales so you will only be able to post your ad to one particular area or city.

You can also make money on the site by looking at what others want or need and then finding that item for them and selling it to them. Or a neat little trick you could use is to see what people are looking for on Craigslist and then going over to eBay to see if that item is there. Then if you find it, tell the person at Craigslist that you found the item on eBay.

The key here is for you to be an affiliate for eBay. Then when you tell the person on Craigslist that you found the item on eBay and you give that person your affiliate link. That way you make money off the sale.

That’s just one way you can make money off of Craigslist. With over 15 million people using the site every single month, you certainly have the power to market to a lot of people. It’s simply a case of you going out and discovering the best way for you to make the best and biggest profit.
