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 ad posting tips. Follow this simple advice and you will have no worries
If you are having problems posting ads on Craigslist then take a second and read this article, perhaps it may help you.
If you have more than one craigslist account that you’re posting ads to then it’s very important that you use a land line dial-up connection with a dial-up Internet Service Provider when you do it.
Craigslist monitors IP addresses of each account. You WILL need different IP addresses if you have more than one CL account, that is if you expect to keep them open and not have them shut down permanently.
If you have a Cable Internet or DSL Internet based telephone service then you have what’s called a static IP address. What this means is that you have one IP address so when you are placing ads through multiple Craigslist accounts their computer picks up your IP address and knows right away that it is the same person placing the ads. This is not good and it could cost you all of your accounts and your ads, not to mention your time.
By using a dial-up Internet service, every time you redial you get a different IP address. Please note: Most dial up modems will be damaged if you connect them to one of these Internet-based phone services.
You NEED a land line connection and a solid dial-up Internet service provider that has good amount of dial up numbers.
When choosing a dial-up Internet service provider you want to avoid companies that use proprietary software like AOL, Net Zero ect. You need a basic Internet service provider with no bells and whistles. You need to find a company that has a lot of dial up numbers in the USA and Canada if you are posting there, preferably one that is inexpensive.
Many of the dial up number networks are old so you’ll have to test each number out. Don’t always go by the displayed speed of the connection, try to surf around a little bit and see if you get disconnected often or if it’s surfing really slow. Once you find a good connection number make note of it so you don’t have to keep searching different numbers each time you want a dial out. Try to use an area code that is in the area where you are posting your ads if possible.

Another posting tip that is very important. NEVER jump around from state to state posting ads. For example; don’t post one ad in Maine, one in Nebraska, one in Chicago, one in New York, one in Dallas and one in Phoenix. If you do this Craigslist will think you’re a spammer and all of your ads will be removed and not just the ones you did today either, all of your ads that you have active in that account will be removed also. You will end up losing everything and have to start all over again. So DON’T make that mistake!
Your account may also be red flagged and they will limit your ads sometimes to only one per day. They do this by ghosting out your ads. Your ads will appear to be live in your account control panel yet will not go live on the site. This is called ad ghosting. I always post 2 ads first then wait to see if they appear on CL before posting anymore so I don’t lose my work to ghosting.
BasicISP is a great cheap chice. You will get your first months service for only $1. If you are interested in this awesome, cheap dialup ISP is Basic ISP
