Do You Know About The Craigslist PVA Changes?
Do you use Craigslist to advertise for your business? Do you post in the services section on Craigslist or any other section that requires a phone verified account? If so, then you should be aware that Craigslist has recently introduced some dramatic changes. Of most concern is a major change that affects phone verified accounts and is sure to be of great impact on anyone who uses phone verified accounts on Craigslist, no matter how big or small.
This recent changed introduced by Craigslist affects phone verified accounts directly, more specifically the creation of phone verified accounts. It used to be that you could verify your Craigslist account using your home or mobile phone and that was that. It was of no importance if you posted an ad on Craigslist straight away or if you waited several days or even weeks before you used it. The important thing was that your account was verified thanks to the use of a phone number. This is no longer the case. Craigslist has introduced a drastic new change that affects how long you can wait to post an ad on Craigslist after you verify it. As already mentioned, there used to be no time limit. However, with the new changes, once you verify an account you must post an ad almost immediately on Craigslist. An ad must be posted on Craigslist to lock the account in verified status. If you do not post an ad on Craigslist shortly after verifying your account, you will find that it reverts back to a non-verified account. What does this mean? It means that you will have to re-verify the account all over again if you wish to post in any sections on Craigslist that require phone verified accounts. It looks as though Craigslist allows an 8 – 10 hour timeframe from when an account is verified to just how long you have to post an ad on Craigslist to lock it in the verified state. If you don’t post an ad within this timeframe, you will receive a second phone call from Craigslist with the verification code. This is more than likely a reminder from Craigslist so you can post an ad and lock your account in verified status. If you ignore this second phone call, a few hours later you will find that the account is no longer phone verified. You will have to repeat the process all over again. The good news is that you can use your same phone number again. This makes sense as since your account is no longer verified, the phone number is no longer used. You won’t have to worry about finding a new phone number to try and re-verify your account if you only have one number you use.
While the recent change regarding phone verified accounts on Craigslist is minor, it can cause a lot of stress and wasted time for those who verify accounts and then don’t post ads immediately. Save yourself the trouble and post an ad on Craigslist immediately after you verify it. Doing this will lock the account as a PVA and you can safely use it another day.

Craigslist Changed, Why Don’t You? Have Craigslist Changes Hurt Your Business? Read This!
Well after losing 20% of my income since the Craigslist Worldwide Lockout this month, I decided to reread my favorite book again and get motivated. Sometimes it only takes a little inspiration to start setting off the light bulbs in my brain.
I spend a lot of time brainstorming and trying different things. Many times I will sacrifice as much as 50% of my monthly income when I stop selling. Instead I take the time to start learning new tricks of the internet marketers trade. Every time I take the time out to learn I see my income spike to a new level.
I spend the time trying new techniques and developing new income streams. Besides being a successful ticket broker with 26 websites in operation, I also have several STD dating websites and quite a few other online stores. Being diversified is something I started back when Craigslist first started phone verification. I knew there was trouble down the road and I acted on it a while back.
Well after spending the other night rereading Who Loves Money a huge light bulb went off in my head. I immediately rushed to Godaddy to register the domain name. I logged into my Wealthy Affiliate account where I have a yearly membership. I usually go to Wealthy Affiliate and use all of their tools that are included for free with my paid membership.
I use their own custom program called SiteRubix that allows me to build a website through “Drag & Drop” in usually under 20 minutes. I then log into another tool I use there called Rapid Writer. This program allows me to spin a couple a dozen articles out of just 2 articles in less than 20 minutes. I submitted the articles to Ezine.com, GoArticles.com & Articlesbase. I also set up a quick Google Adwords Campaign and went to bed. The website is already earning money in just a few days!
I’m happy I took a time out to read “Who Loves Money” again. Without fail I came up with another great idea thanks to that book. I paid I think $75 for “Who Loves Money” . Buying that ebook is what got me to join Wealthy Affiliate.
Now they are giving the ” Who Loves Money” ebook away FREE if you join Wealthy Affiliate for a month. It only cost $39 to join plus they give you this $75 “Who Loves Money” e-book for FREE.
In my honest opinion, I would pay $150 a month to be a member of Wealthy Affiliate because they have every single thing under the sun that I could ever need including free web hosting. Not to mention the user forums where I have made so many friends with so many successful Internet Marketers.
People from all over the world are members of Wealthy Affiliate. I was just greeting newcomers from Uganda, Hong Kong, United Kingdom and the Philippines today alone. Wealthy Affiliate is not just some website you join to learn new things. Wealthy Affiliate is a community with such a rich learning environment that you can’t help but be in awe, learn and make money.
When I logged into my account for the first time I almost had tears in my eyes. Could this be the place I had been searching for? Indeed it is and much more than I ever imagined. Whether you need to be taken by the hand or if you are experienced Internet marketer then you will still learn a lot of stuff.
Wealthy Affiliate even has a Job Bank. At the Job Bank you can put your work out to bid. I had 100 articles written for me for $400 by my Filipino friend I met there who is an expert article writer. If you have skills then you can list them in the Job Bank and people will contact you for work. You can actually make a living right within our community!
I advise you to join Wealthy Affiliate for one month for only $39 just to get the $75“Who Loves Money” e-book for free. Not to mention the 1000 other things there are to learn on the site. Wealthy Affiliate is the best thing that ever happened to me as an internet marketer. Don’t drop the ball on this one because it is the real deal!
There is also a great steady income stream to be made from Twitter and it is a perfect replacement for income you are losing on Craigslist. Making money on Twitter is no work at all. You just set it up once and it just keeps making money.

Craigslist Changes Phone Verification Again – October 24, 2009
Craigslist changes phone verification again October 24, 2009
I went to log into my Craigslist account on October 24, 2009 and went to place an ad and it asked me to phone verify my account. I know the account is already verified so why are they asking me to do it again? There can be only one answer to that question. These are tough new measures to crack down on people who buy and sell Craigslist phone verified accounts.
Craigslist knows that if you buy your phone verified accounts then you don’t know the phone number that was used to verify them. This basically renders the phone verified account useless but you will still be able to receive your e-mail through it and hopefully make a few more sales.
I hate to be the one to say it but if you make are living off of Craigslist then you are in for some tough times ahead. Last year when they first started asking people to phone verify their accounts I knew that this was just the beginning of a much larger spam control measure. I started a while back looking for other avenues to make money. I like affiliate marketing because you don’t need to own any products or spend any money on advertising. If you do it right it’s completely free, 100% pure profit!
If you’ve never heard about article marketing then this is a great way to make money. I look at article marketing as having my own sales force out there working for me 24/7, 365 days a year. Think of an article as a salesperson, if you’re new to writing articles then you are not going to be as convincing as someone who has been writing them for months or a year so. You won’t produce as much income for yourself, but once you start to get the hang of it, become confident and make those first few sales then you will realize what you did right to make those sales and then you’re on your way to the big $$$$.
It only takes one good niche to make money hand over fist. Don’t try to write articles about everything under the sun either, do your research and more research and more research and then begin.
Remember this, a general practitioner MD goes to school for the same amount of time as a brain surgeon, but because a brain surgeon is a specialist they earn much more money than any general practitioner ever could. Never forget this and you will make cash and lots of it. Become a specialist!
You might laugh in disbelief but many article marketers after less than a year can earn upwards of $1000 a day, 365 days a year. Can you live on $1000 a day?
When I first started writing articles my first ones really didn’t make any money because I wasn’t doing the research needed to find out what people really wanted. I was trying to give them what I thought they wanted. That’s the biggest mistake that anybody can make in article marketing. If there’s no audience for your product then you can’t make any sales.
The best way to find out what people are looking for is to pick a topic that you like( it is important to pick a topic you like because you are going to write about it like crazy) and then do a search on Google. At the top of the Google search page click on the link that says “show options” and then choose the forum link on the left. Forums are the gateway to your research. Once you find out what people want or need then you can go out on the Internet and try to find affiliate products that you can market to them. Make notes of everything you read in the forum and get to work.
Once you get good at article marketing then you will be amazed at the steady stream of cash that they will send to your bank account. Let’s say every article makes you one dollar a month and some make much more. If you write a hundred articles a month then you will make $100 the first month and the next month you write another hundred articles. Now you’re making $200 a month and so on. If you do this for a year then those dollars can really add up. Some articles may earn you thousands per month or better yet thousands per day! Each article is your salesperson and if you have 5000 articles online then you have 5000 salespeople working for you. Remember this, articles live online forever! Articles don’t cost anything, articles will keep selling for you if you choose a topic that is long term and is not a fad or something for the short haul. Think long term on 75% of your marketing and short term on 25% and you will be perfectly positioned to stuff your mattress with lots of cash.
One other thing about article marketing that is the most important of all. Your article should in no way sound like “sales pitch”. Many article websites will reject them right away if your articles sound too much like sales copy and the reader will know it’s a pitch also.
If you want to have someone write your articles for you then that is another avenue for you to explore. I have people who write for me on certain subjects and I only pay $4 per article. If you have some money to spare then this might be a good way to started.
If your grammar sucks and you are not a good writer then that is fine. Write an article the best you can and then for a couple of bucks have an article writer rewrite it for you. Article writers love rewrites because they don’t have to do research and the article will reflect what you are trying to say , not what they think you want them say or write in the articles.
A good article writer can take one article you wrote and spin it off into 5 or 6 similar articles in no time at all.
