Go to - www.craigslist.org On the right side of the page are all the cities (and countries) you can post ads to.

* Select a city for your ad to be posted to...

* Select a section of that city (really doesn't matter which one, but I usually select the central most one)

* Go back to the top left of the CL page & select "post to classifieds"

* Select "services offered"

* Scroll down to "small biz ads" & select it

* Put in your "catchy" title. Just get their attention!

ex: Get paid for page views?
ex: Make money just hangin' out!
ex: The Deadline is near!
ex: Warning! Only __ days left to sign up!

(You get the idea, make them curious!)

* Enter the following into the ad space..

http://www.yourwebaddress.com/

Note: After you modify the above link with your web address -
highlight the whole link & right click & copy it so you can then paste it easily without having to edit it again.
* Enter your email address in both lower boxes
* Leave the button selected on "reply to anonymous" at craigslist (center button)
* Select continue...
* Enter the verification word...
* Scroll down & select "Accept terms of use"

You will then get a screen that notifies you that that you will get an email containing your new ad link.

* Go back to your email list & refresh the screen or check for new messages.
* Locate the email from craigslist and open the email.
* Click on the link in the email.
* At the top left you will need to click on "publish" to activate the posting on CL.
* the top banner will then turn green and your ad is posted!

It can sometimes take several minutes for your add to be visible (don't worry, it will show pretty quickly).

You can now go back to CL and post more ads!
CL RULES to follow or they will delete your ad.
a) don't try to use a banner ad or a landing page link - they WILL delete the ad.
b) the title of the ad has to be different every time (it won't post and you will get a error)
c) even a similar sentence will be caught as a possible duplicate ad.
d) don't hit all the cities down the list (select 8 - 10 random cities per day to post on)

(just remember you have to be also logged in to craiglist to post, if its done correctly it will tell you your AD will be posted in 15mins). thank you and good luck
