How to Post Free Ads on Craigslist
Our team has had a great deal of success over the years posting free ads on Craigslist. Below you will find full details on how to work this method successfully. (This method can also be used on any other Free Classified posting site.)
Introduction:
In order to receive the best results with this marketing strategy it is so very important that you follow the instructions exactly as laid out when first learning this process. After you are comfortable with the process, you can adjust and tweak the wording and strategy, as you track your results and determine which ads produce the most response.
This process is geared toward driving traffic to your Freedom At Home Team website, so that you will receive Opt-In Requests for Interview. Ideally you should receive 2 to 8+ per day if you post ads consistently. Some classified sites, like Craigslist for example, track posted ads by the IP address of the computer being used to post, not by your email address. We advise you to limit the number of ad postings on a single site to 2-3 per day, and each in a different city, with different category and description choices. This will prevent you from being flagged and/or banned from the site.
Choose your posting sites:
Below is a sampling of free classified ad websites that have provided great results:

This is just a few of the well-known posting sites. We strongly encourage you to add additional websites to your own personal list. This list is a good starting point but you can find many more sites simply by using Google to search on keywords like: free classified ads, free job postings, free ads, free classifieds, free business postings, etc. Also, check your local newspaper's online version of classified ads, which often will allow free postings.

Now that you have made your selections and built your ad, you are ready to post it.
Helpful hint: You can "mix and match" subject/title and description choices within a single category, or choose a different category, with corresponding subject/title and description choices, to put together a number of different ads. If you post the identical ad on any single ad website, your ads will most likely be removed, even if posted in different locations.
Post your ads:
Helpful Hint - Try to post your ad without logging in or creating an account. This gives you a better chance of your add sticking and not being deleted.
How to respond to replies to your ads:
If you choose to use a domain name in your ad, you can skip this step. Using a domain will direct the leads to your FAHT site to request information. The leads will then be automatically loaded into your Focal Point system and they will begin receiving autoresponder emails and are ready to be called. This is a HUGE time saver and SO worth it!!
However, if you choose NOT to use a domain name in your ad, continue:
When someone reads and responds to your ad, an email message will be generated and sent to the email address you provided when posting the ad. Be sure to check your emails regularly, so that you can respond in a timely manner. Keep your response brief, but professional. Below is a sample response:
