Is making money with Craiglist still possible?

When I first wanted to start coaching a few people I went to craigslist first. Mostly used the resumes section to find people interested in sales and talked to them on Skype a bit. Got some of my best earners there because they tend to be pretty desperate for money and willing to work quite hard.

The 5 or so people I found on Craigslist to work with me have been more valuable than 100+ from my list. Some people definitely make a decent amount promoting CPA offers on there too, but I don't see it as worth the risk since I don't know of any CPA networks that allow CL traffic.

I also used to run a membership website for learning to do freelance writing online and was able to get 3-4 signups per day from Craigslist, with a $7 first month and $17 per month afterward fee.

There's still lots of money to be made on Craigslist, you just have to be careful with how you do it and stand out. I've had lots of people respond to my ads and say something like "I'm only contacting you because you used the word bullshit in your ad". Honestly, they say exactly that. So it helps to make it sound like you're a real person.

Why the hell would you waste your time on Craigslist, break their TOS, break the TOS of various CPA companies, and make you and the affiliate marketing industry look like a bunch of ******* assholes? Seriously, cut the crap.

If you plan on using Classidfied sites, then use them according to THEIR terms of service. This means no affiliate marketing. Even using it to sell services is limited to the Small Business Section. I don't know why noobs insist on using classsifieds when 1) they don't work, and 2) they are in direct violation of TOS regs.

OP, no, you cannot earn money with Craigslist. Build a real business and advertise like a real entrepreneur.

It can work, but it depends how you do it.
Try sending to your squeeze page rather than direct affiliate links.
And use Fiverr to do the mass posting rather than risk your own account.

Craigslist is pretty hard to make money from now, and it's hard to promote offers and advertise things without it being marked down as spam. It can still be valuable for getting clients for freelancing, but it isn't very good as far as CPA and affiliate marketing goes.

I did get a few customers from there in the last few months, but I think it's a miracle. One woman told me her ad had 225 responses from all over the world! That's a lot of crap to cut through.

You will find scams not only in Craigslist but also in other free classified sites. You cannot stop them. But still there are a lot of businesses are giving their advertisement there. Still businesses can get leads from these kind of sites.

I use CL to sell items, and it does supply traffic to my web sites, but I do not spam. Most people on CL that spam are kicked out and soon. Ask yourself if your service is of value to the average person. Most of the time, the answer is no. CL cannot abide a spammer. Basically, it clogs up our service.

Craigslist is still a great place to make money, however due to the changes in their TOS, you are better off using that site to sell physical goods.

You may want to check out either Fiverr.com or Yooker.com because now they allow you to do add ons to gigs. Make a list of the different features of what you have to offer, and figure out how someone can add up the pieces to make up what you want to change for doing a website.

Also, since you are focusing on a basic website for Craigslist advertisers, Fiverr.com or Yooker.com would work well since many people are looking for assistance with marketing on Craigslist.

And, of course, you could always put up some online classifed ads in other non-Craigslist sites.

Its still possible to make money on CL for sure, but you have to know how to post and not get flagged/ghosted. I know people making 100 bucks per day on CL but most of the stuff is borderline blackhat stuff, like getting people to fill a CPA offer as if it was a job application and other things I wont get into.
