$350 in a month - a newb story - CL posting
1st and foremost I thought I would share my story here as this place is the best resource around to find information. This is not much $$, but it works, it is easy and its FREE. Its also a great way for someone just starting out to get a little extra cash in their pocket to help fund bigger and better things. I'm sure this has been said before so sorry if its old news for some.
As stated in the title, this took about a month with about 30-60 minutes of work a day. My best day was around $50 and my worst was about $2 but I'm new to everything here and still have so much to learn. I'm also sure a lot of people can take this to many different levels, but this again is just my 1st month in the biz.
1st step is to sign up with an affiliate program. I'm not sure if I can mention some here, but mine started with a COP and ended in EAC. I'm sure you can figure that one out. There are many affiliate programs out there. if you are signed up already then cool. The sign up process took me about a week and a half. An agent will call to verify but just search the boards here as there are great tips on what to say.
2nd step after you get accepted is to search the campaigns for "LEAD" campaigns. Specifically ones that require people to just enter their email address. The one I used most often paid like $1 per email address. It may take some trial and error to find a good one, but you can test out a campaign in a few cities to see its potential. Once you find a good one, stick with it. I've been using the same on for almost the whole time.
3rd step is download some auto craigslist poster. Search the boards, there are many good ones to be found here. Copy and paste your code from your affiliate in the auto poster. Come up with a nice title and select the cities you want to post int. I just selected capitals and a few popular ones in California.
4th step is to make a gmail and CL account. Then ad that to your software.
5th step is to start posting your ad. I used the for sale section because I didn't have to get voice verification.
A typical day I would see about 2000 impressions, about 200 clicks and 10-20 leads.
Also 100% of the ads would eventually get flagged. I've gone though about 7 accounts and have not changed my IP yet. I think I post in about 60 cities everyday. Some days are better then others.
thats it... best part about this is that is only cost me my time and for someone who just needs a little cash, this is a great method I think.
thanks again BHW and I hope this at least helps someone.
