How to post Unlimited ads on Craigslist.

Craigslist is a mostly free classified ad site. There are a few sections that you must pay for ads, such as
tickets by dealer, auto ads, certain jobs sections, and some real estate sections. It is the # 1 classified ad
site in the United States. Craigslist has rules that state you can only post 1 ad per 48 hours. And they
mean it. But just like everything else, there are ways around these rules.

To post unlimited ads on Craigslist is not a problem. However you will need a few things. You will need
private proxies, phone numbers to make pvas (phone verified accounts), emails, domains, some
organization skills, and the drive to work hard. Let us walk you thru the steps to get you started posting
ads on Craigslist.

Private Proxies

A private proxy server is a dedicated IP that is being exclusively used by only one client at a time, mainly
to hide the public IP address assigned by the ISP. The primary benefit of a private proxy is the fact that
you have the entire service to yourself.

The reason you need private proxies for Craigslist is because Craigslist can detect if there are too many
posts coming from a certain ip and then will ghost those ads (ghosted ads are ones that say they have
been posted but never show up in the listings) and possibly delete that Craigslist account.

The ips need to be geo targeted, which means you want to have the ip to be within a close distance to
where you want to post an ad. By a close distance, I mean within that state or neighboring state. For
example, do not have an ip address in Los Angeles and post in New York, Chicago, Miami, Dallas.

The best way to post on Craigslist is with one account per one ip. You can try to post with multiple
accounts on one ip but you risk getting ads ghosted or accounts deleted. We highly recommend not
using a free proxy service or a vpn (virtual proxy network).

Explorer for the changes to take effect.

 Connecting to a proxy server will affect all internet traffic on your computer.
 When you are done using your proxy and want to go back to your direct
connection, open the LAN settings again, recheck the “Automatically detect
settings” box and uncheck the box in the “Proxy server” section.

 Note: Changing Chrome’s proxy settings is tied to your operating system, and as

don’t want to change these settings, you will need to download a Chrome
extension such as ProxySwitchSharp or Proxy Helper.

4. Click the “LAN settings” button. This will open another new window. Check the box in the “Proxy

LAN settings again, recheck the “Automatically detect settings” box and uncheck the box in the
“Proxy server” section.

Phone Numbers

When creating an account, Craigslist asks for a phone number to verify an account. You can use a phone
number once every 90 days. The best Craigslist PVA (phone verified accounts) are ones you make
yourself.

You need to buy phone numbers that you will use to verify your own accounts. There are great services
that sell geo-targeted phone numbers. They will redirect that phone number to one main number. We
do not recommend sending these numbers to your home phone or cell phone. The best way is to send
them to a google voice number or skype.

http://www.workathometrail.com Page 4
By verifying Craigslist accounts this way, you'll create the best quality PVA for Craigslist and won't have
to worry about them being placed on hold due to third rate PVA suppliers who don't know how to make
quality phone verified accounts. This could potentially save you a lot of money in the long run. PVA’s are
an investment and you will want to do everything you can to make sure that they can be used for as
long as possible.

Just like the ip addresses, the phone numbers need to be geo targeted, which means you want to have
the phone number to be within a close distance to where you want to post an ad. By a close distance, I
mean within that state or neighboring state. For example, do not have an phone number in Los Angeles
and post in New York, Chicago, Miami, Dallas.

Very important : When you create a Craigslist account, you will want the ip and phone number to be
from the same region, and then when you post an ad from that account, you will want to post that ad
to the same region.

This is the best site to get phone numbers from:

You can try to google other sources but this source has worked the best.

Emails and Domains

A Craigslist account is made up of one email address. The best way to create Craigslist accounts is to get
bulk email addresses. You can get unlimited email address when you buy a domain name. We
recommend to use one domain for every 20 email address. If you create more than that with one
domain you might look suspicious to Craigslist. Another key is to space out creating the accounts on
Craigslist. For example, if you are creating 10 accounts a day, then you would use one email address
from 10 different domains.

Set up a gmail account as a master email account, so you can forward each of these emails to it. This will
make it easier to check and respond to emails.

Here is how you can forward your domain emails to your gmail master account:

How to set your website email account to Redirect messages to your Gmail Account

Log into the mail control panel at: http://www.yoursite.com/hosting - yoursite is the domain name
you have chosen.

http://www.workathometrail.com Page 5
User the username and password for your mail account, but be sure to use your full username and
domain, e.g. your username is joeschmoe@yoursite.com

After you login, you will see a list of "Tool" icons. Click on "Redirect".

Check the box that says "Redirect" and enter your Gmail address in the "Redirect Address" Field. Then
Save.

How to set Gmail to Send from Alternative Address

Change your Gmail Settings so that email sent from Google will be sent from your website email account
address (instead of your Gmail account address):

Login to your Gmail account.

Go to Settings > Accounts.

Under "Send Mail As", click "Add another email address".

Enter your Name and your website email account address, e.g. joeschmoe@yoursite.com.

Click "Next Step", then "Verify".

A verification email will be sent to your website email account address.

Verify the new Settings.

The verification email was sent from Gmail to your website email account, but because of the previous
redirect it should end up in your Gmail inbox.

Go to your Gmail Inbox and find the verification email sent from Gmail.

Open the verification email, and click the activation link provided.

Now, you can use Gmail as your Master Email Account.

 How to Post Ads for Profit on Craigslist

There are different ways to post ads on Craigslist. You can post ads in the by dealer section. When you
are posting a link in your ad you should always post that ad in a by dealer category. All links in an ad are
not clickable but the customer can just paste the address into their browser. Also, do not post long
addresses or affiliate addresses. You can use the domains that you bought to set up your email
addresses, and visitors can go directly to your site or a squeeze page.

Another way you can post ads is to the by owner section. This way you can have customers respond to
your post. When they respond you get their email, and then in your reply email you can include a link in
your ad so visitors can go directly to your site, squeeze page, or sell them a product directly.

When posting ads on Craigslist there are a few key rules:

Rotate titles in your ads to make them unique

Rotate text in the ad descriptions to make them unique

Make ads unique and interesting

Place ads in the proper category and section

Delete history and cookies in between posts and setting up accounts.

For organizational purposes:

Keep a spreadsheet so you know which pva goes with each ip.

Also include columns in the spreadsheet for location, section, time, and date.

Record the time of the ad so you keep the 48hrs in between posts.

Then change the times when you renew an ad so you are not logging into accounts when you don’t have
to.

Craigslist is the leading free classifieds service. It is free if you want to post one ad every 48 hrs. If you
want to generate a lot of traffic and make a profit on Craigslist, then you have to pay to advertise. If you
add up the costs it is far cheaper than banner ads and pay per click ads. This system does take hard work
and some organizational skills.

The best way is to start small. Pick a certain region and start there. Get geo targeted ips and phone
numbers for that region. Try getting 20 accounts set up. The key is to start building traffic.
