    Craigslist is full of people who need something. You can use Craigslist to generate this buzz by posting an item for sale on Craigslist, then linking to a page on your website that describes how to enter for a chance to win the item. Acceptable methods of entry can include tweeting a certain phrase, using a certain hashtag, or sharing the page on Facebook. Include social share buttons on the page to make it extra easy for people to enter the drawing.

      That's funny. I clean houses and one lead that equals one customer also equals thousands of dollars to me from that one customer over the year. Heck, my wife and I made six figures cleaning houses one year (granted, we hustled and worked a lot, but still). If I clean weekly at $100 per clean, that $5200/year is more than I paid for an entire new HVAC system in my house which I bought once and won't need again for a good long time. The guy that cuts my lawn at a low $26 per week still makes $800 or so annually off me. Those niches aren't perceived as huge, but there may be more customers out there for those services, and since they are performed regularly instead of one-time, the money adds up.

    I'm guessing contracting means remodeling? anything else? Just the profitable ones I mean

    I was posting around 30 ads a day in the services section for computer repair and was getting a decent amount of volume. You can do similar for computer and iphone repair and just outsource the leads to a local repair shop. Get a separate phone number (twilio) and track all the calls going to that business and charge them on a per call basis.

    This can be expanded to any service by just visiting your local cl page and look at all the services people are offering. Call them up and tell them I can get you phone leads and Im charging xx amount per phone call and send a couple of free leads to test out with them and charge them from now on.
