tips for posting on craigslist in order to get the best response for your ad

It all depends on what you are posting the ad for. If it is for free firewood the writing would be different than if you were posting a job. However, to get the best possible response you are going to want to be as positive as possible and if possible use pictures.

People love being able to see pictures of the items. If the item that you are posting is for something that doesn't have an applicable picture then you will want to try to be as descriptive of the service as possible.

Hi Whitney!

I wrote a Hub a little while ago about how to sell anything on Craigslist :)

It definitely depends on what kind of ad it is that you're posting. If you're posting a product or service offering I would suggest image based posting. Visualization remains a very powerful compliment. Secondly, image based posting will permit you to post in multiple categories and multiple locations without restriction or incurring fees!

I teach affiliate marketing lessons at http://www.jaysonlinereviews.com/page11.php i have some tips i wrote about craigslist. Use a title that grabs there attention, post in the most targeted category for whatever your selling, try no to get your craigslist post flagged especially if your an internet marketer you need to link your ad to your website if possible if not try an article, or a classified ad! Craigslist doesn't let you post affiliate links. And the most important tip i could give would be use a picture for whatever your selling. There was research done that states a classified with a picture gets clicked on 2-3 more times than one with no picture! thanks Whitney good question and poll! Jason

I agree with everyone that said have a picture. I click on those ads first. And be sure to provide COMPLETE information.

All that said, I think it really depends on WHAT you are offering. We've had luck with "big ticket" items (i.e. over $50) where it's worth someones time and they save significant money. Little things, like two pairs of tube socks, are a lot harder I think.

Include a image becuase that will standout more.

Also there is a site called http://www.byebyelist.com That shows ads from craigslist that have photos.

Hope that helps
