The Idea: Getting as many visitors to your website from Craigslist to click on adsense advertisements.
Tools Needed: A craigslist account (or hire people to post for you), a domain (.info is fine), hosting (free is ok), a basic design (oswd, if you want), an adsense account, and a gmail account.
Step 1: Use your Research Tool program of choice and find current very popylar "physical" items that people are purchasing. For example I used "iPad 2". Once you have found your niche product to use, write it down.
Step 2: Register a domain that is relevant to your niche website. Example: www.MyFreeiPad2.info
Step 3: Select a psuedo name... preferably a female. Example: Brandi Marks
Step 4: Upload a nice template and customize it as if a teenager would of made the site. Remember to use the name (example: Brandi Marks)
Step 5: Create a story of why you having to SELL your very popular product (example: iPad 2).
... an example such as My uncle bought me an iPad 2 for my birthday, but my parents are very conservative and will not let me keep my iPad 2. I'm so freaking sad about this, I really can't stand my Dad. I really want this new MP3 player and it's only 30 bucks. So I want to sell this iPad 2 for $30, that is about how much it costs right?
Step 6: Create a Email account (try to use the psuedo name... example: Brandi Marks)
Step 7: Go to TinyURL (or any other URL shortener service) and create a short URL for your domain
Step 8: In your Gmail Settings, go to the Vacation Reply part. Setup an Email like this:
Subject: re: Craigslist $30 iPad2
Message: Hey there!
Thanks for contacting me about my iPad 2. I freaking hate that I have to sell this, but like I said my parents won't let me keep it. I have uploaded some pictures of my iPad 2 on my website, you can click here to check out the pix.

Step 9: Create a post (or hire someone to do it) in the 'For Sale' section and title it something like : My iPad 2 for $30.00
Step 10: In the post say something similiar to your Gmail Vacation Reply, such as this was a gift that you cannot keep and you want to sell it for $30. Act naive and think it only sells for $30 or so. Doing this will make the prospective buyer think you have no clue how much a steal this is, and will force them to inquire!
Step 11: Put 3 adsense ads on your website. Preferably the FIRST part of the website they see when the site opens. You would be amazed of how many people will click on the first link they see, without even knowing what they did. Example: Put an advertisement on the left, right, and the absolute top of the site.
Conclusion: The whole process took me about 30 minutes to setup. It cost me $1.99 for the domain. After 3 days I received 159 emails, and out of that 49 went to the site and 19 clicked on the advertisements. I put in strong content about "ipad 2" so EVERY advertisement was about the iPad 2. Those keywords averaged $0.95 per click.
So 30 minutes of work and $1.99 brought me in $18 in 3 days, which is $6/day. If this keeps up that is $180/mo without even a sweat. Duplicate this 10 times over and your talking serious money!
