Is It Still Possible To Make Money From Craigslist With Affiliate Marketing?

So, you want to make money with Craigslist as an affiliate marketer, huh?

Well, that makes sense...

After all, Craigslist is one of the top 20 sites on the planet, according to Alexa.

But, even though it doesn't look like the site design has been updated since 1995, unfortunately, it's unusually challenging to game their platform.

But it can be done.

There's always a way.

So, just to give you a quick recap of the evolution of Craigslist affiliate marketing over the years...

In the beginning it was pretty easy...and then Craiglist closed all those loopholes
Then it got harder, and so the marketers that stuck around started using virtual assistant services like TaskBullet to manually post ads in different cities in order to scale, and to try and avoid ads getting ghosted
And then that got less effective

Which brings us to where we are now.

Now, two kinds of resources that I recommend checking out if you're serious about marketing on Craigslist are...

1) Some sort of training or coaching from someone who is already successfully marketing on Craigslist and getting consistent results. As I mentioned before, it's probably not easy, but it can still be done. And rather than trying to figure it out on your own and fail, it's best to just copy what's already working for someone else.

So, for the training, I recommend checking out Jeff White's Craigslist Free Ads Mastery Course.

2) I also suggest some sort of software or auto poster to help you scale. It's simply not efficient to manually be posting ads in different cities every single day. Even if you're hiring people to help you. You need to build some sort of automation into your process.

So, for the software, I suggest taking a look at a solution like Crazyzilla.

To recap, if you really want to become successful at marketing on Craigslist, it's possible.

But, you have to be willing to put in the time and energy required to achieve consistent results.

Do your research.

Study other marketers who are already having success.

Be disciplined and consistent.

And, eventually, you'll crack the Craigslist code.

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means optimizing your content to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to keyword stuff and trying to maintain a certain keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or links from other high authority or relevant sites pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an Amway pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click) is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically, direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily Bing Ads is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...
