  • Post multiple ads on Craigslist

    IMacros is a software package you can use to make a custom Craigslist publishing program. The software can be instructed to post distinct ads from multiple accounts and post multiple ads to craigslist daily. 

    The easiest method for posting many advertisements on craigslist consists of producing ones own auto submitting software with a program called iMacros. iMacros makes it possible to automatically post varying advertisements from various accounts hands free.

    The first step is to create numerous accounts. You'll have to have unique numbers for each account; three ought to be enough. The program will log into each account individually, on auto-pilot. Within the macro, you'll set up a process that allows the macro to select from a list of various variations of the ads. All of the ads should have distinct headlines and body copy. Each ad has to be unique so that it isn't recognized as a duplicate by Craigslist. Craigslist disables ads it finds out to be replicates.

    Imacros will allow you to automatically schedule posting of your advertisements each and every morning. However you can't make use of each account every day. The accounts must rest 24 hours between posting sessions. The accounts have to post on changing days, and if you are posting pictures or even submitting clickable website hyperlinks, those pictures and website links must never be repeated on consecutive days. Be certain that you have imacro installed on a computer which has a constant Web connection and is totally dependable. It's going to operate automatically in the background, but only on a pc that runs reliably. Craigslist website traffic tends to peak around 10 AM so program imacros to post its postings daily in the mid morning.

    Some testing and modifying is necessary to run a successful day-to-day strategy. A few versions of your ad will be very profitable. Others, you will find, are disappointing. Within 14 days it will be apparent which mixture of ads is producing the greatest results. Remove the ads that are not performing well. Now, over the next 14 days further improve your message and test fresh iterations of your advertisements. Be certain to test out discount codes, special offers, and capitalization of your headings too.

    Within approximately a month you will have a number of ads you know are complete winners. Now you can program imacros to run those ads automatically and not have the daily responsibility and stress of maintaining your craigslist ads online.

  • Posting on Craigslist: Running a Successful Campaign

    When you're running multiple ad campaign on craigslist, you need to make the most of every ad by creating a presentation that gets found first, and then converts a viewer into a caller or an e-mail. Here are some basic tips on getting more clicks, and getting more business from mouse clicks.

    Your title is like the front of your store on a street. It has to be appealing and it has to stand out among the many other street signs. So be sure to put actionable items in your titles that request click from your viewer and wore them for their visit.  So, if you install hot tubs, write a title that says "Pro Hot Tub Installation - See Photos of Our Work."  Or if you sell vacuum cleaners, an ad like "All brands of vacuum cleaners:  Check out our weekly specials" will get far more clicks than a plain title.

    Next, put a lot of thought into adding the key words that are associated with the item or service that you're selling. Spend some time browsing your section, and write down the 8 to 12 most common terms and words that are used. Be sure to insert these into every ad that you post to that section.  Also, be sure to include the name of every neighborhood you service if you provide a service on craigslist.

    If you can add some visual appeal to your ad, you can get a higher conversion rate among the people that click to view your ad. Use an online service like postlets.com to create full-color, formatted as that add professionalism to your presentation.

    Be sure to test multiple versions of your ad. On each new campaign create three combinations of title and description and test them all over a two-week period to find out which will work best.
