Craigslist Accounts – A New Battle

Craigslist’s recent introduction of phone-verified accounts has made posting on CL more of a challenge than ever.

You can purchase phone verified accounts from a number of sources, but you must be careful: many sites use procedures can leave footprints behind which can cause CL to flag these accounts.

I recommend buying phone numbers yourself, and doing the account set-up manuaully ( vs buying completed accounts directly from a vendor)

Avoid Footprints (During Account Creation)

Actions that cause a “red-flag” to Craigslist during account creation are:

1.) Using the same CL password for each account created (and created one after another).
2.) Same IP used when creating accounts
3.) Activating a phone verified account and NOT using it within 48 hours.

All of the above create red-flags with Craigslist and the accounts can be at risk for deletion.

You need to make sure each account is as unique as possible by implementing the following 4 variations:

1.) Do not ever use the same password for each account
2.) Do not verify each account one after the other. This creates a pattern.
3.) DO try to post as each account is created.
4.) Use different IPs when creating each account.

Look What Others Are Doing....

Looking what other people are doing is the best way to make sure your ads "stick" and do not get ghosted on Craigslist.

The craigslist police are bigger and badder than ever before, and its truly become a cat and mouse game.

Utilize the tactics mentioned in my ebook. Create as much variation as possible. But ultimately -- look at someones ad and see if they have a similar ad in another city. Look at how their ad was created by using VIEW SOURCE in your internet browser.

Likely you will easily be able to see how they hid their text, where they hosted their image, etc.

You must incorporate this into your posting process.

Living Easy Software's Forum

Living Easy Software's forum is a great place to learn about CL posting. The users are talking about Admaster, the only program that will allow you to Bulk post on CL. With CL's new updates, everything else is obsolete and outdated. The guy who created Admaster keeps up with the changes

Admaster simply uses the same things as mentioned in my ebook.. only it automates the process.

Check out their forum. Its here.

Posting Process

The process to CL posting has become a much more tedious one, unfortunately.

I recommend NOT reposting but creating CL accounts (or BUYING pre-verified accounts) for each post per 48 period.

So if you're posting 20 ads a day, you'll need 40 accounts.

You also need to change your IP and cookies with each posting. I've seen that changing IP every 3 posts is also possible, but be careful. Start out with complete variation with all variables, and then work to cut parts out of your process to see what you can get away with .

To change your modem you either need a.) A dialup, b.) A Cellular Modem (Available at Cell Phone stores)

Posting on CL has never been more difficult. The only way to automate my techniques is to purchase LivingEasySoftware's product, called Admaster. It does all of my techniques for you. But if you are a smaller entrepreneur trying to post a few ads a day, my techniques (by hand) may be the ideal, more affordable route.
