Craigslist Ad's ?

[Beemerboy]

I run a CL ad every week and so far have picked up a few jobs. Not a lot but its free and takes little to no effort to keep posting once a week.

What I enjoy is reading the other ads being posted by local detailers. My grammar and spelling skills may not be the best, but I take the time to read all of what I posted and triple check for errors, that's not the case with everyone that posts.

The better part is how they talk about their services and explanation of products. Some of it seems like smoke and mirrors to me.

I guess to someone that had no idea about detailing this would seem believable.

This was one that caught my eye he is in my town


Car detail good price

LOL Yoda - Good job I do your car I will detail.

LOL....I've found some very...interesting...ads on craigslist...but I really don't know of any other classifieds that are free and so well known, so I always use craigslist.

People generally do not put a lot of time into a free craigslist listing. It is my belief that those people that take the time to make it look nice, spell things like an educated adult and make it intelligible are rewarded.

Just look at the car for sale ads. The pictures are often of dirty cars from poor angles. It just amazes me sometimes how lazy people can be.

In agree with you on both counts, sometimes I want to call the people selling the dirt car and ask if they need it cleaned

I use V FLyer to create a flyer and then post that to CL. I am in a new area since end of July so we shall see how it turns out. It is funny reading posts by the competition.

Not as popular as Craigslist, but it only takes a minute to post an ad.

I'll try to keep the links to other sites to a minimum in future posts.

Good Luck

CL, I use it, I love, It works, and most of all it's FREE.

Sorry Moderators, just using live links to make easier. ( wont use anymore )

The sites I gave but were erased are

backpage.com and

classifiedads.com

Good Luck

Have had good response to CL, but Backpage just seems to be where all the hookers went to. There's not much there otherwise.

For cool ads, check out use.com. They have a boatload of templates.

So you're saying we should try Backpage? At least that's what I'll be taking away from this post....
