Advertising on Craig's List

I have been using Craig's list for a couple years but I'm a private party and not a business and I've had good luck other then the no-shows'. You want to make sure your posting in the right category advertising a business? Be sure to list it in the services category, if you post it in the wrong category you will be flagged then removed then you start all over again. Or were you just asking how to get started?

Go to Craig's list, find your state then your city, click on any category that sounds good, that will open up to that page with all the individual listings, look up in the upper right-hand corner where it says post click on it, you have 2 options you either post as a guess or join, I suggest joining it is a lot easier to keep track of what's going on, after you make your first post you will receive a confirmation letter, that's the fastest way to get back to your posting. In time you will figure it out.

The 1 strange thing in all these groups is the want ads (items wanted) are as if you're asking for something or a service it's a bit confusing. Have you tried kijiji.com

I tried to advertise my Pet Sitting business on Craig's List. I had it on there for 3 weeks. Finally took it off because ALL I was getting back was people looking for sex, and people trying to get me to make money "their way". I finally decided to simply stick with advertising in the local paper. I want to advertise on the local TV channel too as soon as I figure out an ad.

I found this online: I do not know. I never sell or buy online. You can search for your question to find more info, good luck.

Don't use craig's list. Many people encounter fraud and things like that so people use ebay. It may be a little safer and people will trust that you do have something to sell.
