    Be careful. A lot of (most) CPA companies specifically forbid Craigslist as a method of getting leads.

    In order to make it work, you have to make sure to 'clean' your leads first (ie get them into your own funnel first and then hit them CPA offers that could really help them...

    Basically, don't even think about direct linking from CL to a CPA offer or anything similar...

    Don't try anything blackhat/spammy/scammy. Craigslist is rife with scammers. Don't jump on that train. It won't get you anywhere and could end up getting you into hot water.

    What do I mean by spammy/scammy practices? Posting a bunch of garbage direct linked CPA type offers all across Craigslist in a bunch of different cities using different verified accounts opened with different 'disposable' cell phone numbers and rotating IP addresses. That is spammy.

    Scammy would be the practice that many suggest of listing an iPhone or something similar for cheap, and then when they get in touch with you asking for more details, you tell them the phone has already been sold, but

    "Here! I know where you can win one for FREE. Just go to WinnAniPhoneForFree.com and fill out the form and you might get one at no cost!"

    Don't be that guy.

    Also, stay away from Craigslist niches that haven't worked for marketers effectively in years. Get involved with niches/sections that can produce results.

    The best way to make money from Craigslist as a marketer is to think of ways that you can really provide value to people - as a middle man or otherwise. The worst ways are when you are spending most of your time thinking of, or executing, creative ways to trick Craigslist, consumers who are using Craigslist, or ways to bypass Craigslist's filtering algorithms.

    Most (if not all) CPA offers do not allow craigslist traffic, if you get caught using this as a traffic source, most networks will ban you and not pay you. It's not worth it IMO.

    Most CPA Networks don't allow craigslist traffic, and will ban you pretty quickly for using it.

    I wouldn't recommend using it.

        People that use craigslist for CPA ruin the CPA model for the rest of the people who are following the rules of the networks.

        Directing Craigslist to cpa does the following:

        1. Puts a bad name on publishers.
        2. Lowers the overall traffic quality of the CPA network
        3. Lowers the Epc of the network because advertisers start scrubbing profits to keep up with the demand to weed out bad affiliates violating publisher advertising agreements.

        You might get kicked off the network If they find out.

        However if you are willing to put the effort in and redirect quite a few times before they hit the CPA offer page you might get away with violating the terms of the network and make some

        nice money and rewards.

        Good luck

    Only saying ''I will not recommend it'' didn't solve any problem for the guy. Have you been able to find out the current situation with CPA and Craigslist. This is the crush of the matter. The question is, many who are succeeding are using Craigslist. Find out whether the statement is true or not. I recommend it with carefulness and within reason.

      See post #2 - very good advice - but there's not only Craigslist to consider - try Backpage - Gumtree as well= set up an attention drawing clickable add - leading to a page of yours where you either ask for an opt-in eitheryou have put up a banner leading to the offer. (banner provided by the network)

      Ps If you need help with clickable add just ask.

    You guys provided a bunch of useless info.

    If you want to use CL as a traffic source just build a targeted list first with your own squeeze page.

    Either redirect to the affiliate offer on the double opt-in confirm or promote through your automated autoresponder funnel.

    The guy asked how to make money using craigslist, no need for 20 people saying the same exact thing. Lol

    Make money and take care.

    Most offers forbid Craigslist traffic... You should definitely check with your affiliate manager about each offer you want to send CL traffic too, otherwise you run the risk of being scrubbed, banned, or blacklisted.

      I'm not sure what your questions is exactly, if you are asking can you use a landing page?

      No, that typically doesn't make it out. Always talk to your AM first.

        i'm just tiring to say , if i send traffic to my landing page and collect leads to my autoresponder funnel than redirect the offer link and promote the offer , Is there still any chance to get banned ???

    For CPA, I think Social Media Traffic is the way to go. You can try this out, this helps leverage social media traffic: Social Autobots
    Or you can go here for CPA Training: https://goo.gl/TdpySy

    Though it depends on you, if you do master cpa marketing, it can be very lucrative.

    You won't find a lot of networks allowing such promotion, better build list first with that platform and promote later..

      Agreed, some networks even frown on this, IMO always check with your AM before doing anything like this, it's much better to find out before starting than after your spent effort and money

    You can't legitimately run promotion on craigslist, your valuable account will get burned almost instantly

    There are way better ways, just look around this forum.

    You can't directly use craigslist but you can still get people in your funnel or something before sending them to your offers. I would still stay away from this though..

    Personally, I would stay away from Craigslist traffic as it generally yields very poor lead quality for the merchants and the networks don't like it.

    As CL doesn't have an actual advertising platform I would stay away from trying to use it as a legitimate traffic source as networks tend to ban affiliate accounts anyway.

    Stick to Adwords or BING instead, much better choice in my opinion
