Craigslist Question - Need help from you Veterans
This is in the web design niche and I'm posting in the computer services section.
Here's the problem:
I've been doing a good amount of research and it seems like some people are getting a ton of views on their ads (some said up to 100+ from what I've seen in the examples they used).
My ads are getting maybe 5 views at the most (on average they probably get 2) which seems insanely low. I thought it might be the city Im using so I tested in a new location that seems very popular, in New Jersey, which is the same time zone as my main city... same deal Computer section and web design offer. I posted at my busy time around 4:40 (the tests are done Tuesdays, Wed, and Thursdays) and to my surprise it only got a couple views as well... Is this normal?
I've got a ton of experience with email marketing, I can get pretty good open rates on emails, click through rates on regular ads but I'm not sure if the problem is something I'm doing wrong or that I'm expecting too many impressions from Craigslist.
Here's the headlines I'm using:
-POOR DESIGN IS COSTING YOU 80% OF YOUR CUSTOMERS
-Warning! Do Not Buy Web Design Until You Ask Them These 5 Questions
(yes, taken from Ewenmacks thread)
Most of the headline are like this, build curiousity etc.
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
