Summarizing the "Making a Great Craigslist Ad" Series

Let's go for a recap of our mini-series; a "Sparknotes" version, if you will, of what we've been going over for the last few posts.

  1. Frequent Posting: make sure that you are posting and reposting your ads frequently every few days to ensure that your posts will be near the top of searches. Something EZ Posting can do for you!
  2. Relevant Information: Be sure to make your ad specific. Include price, number of bedrooms, and locatoin so viewers can find your house when they want a specific set of attributes in a property.
  3. Subtlety of Keywords: be sure to include keywords in your posts, but don't do it in big list all at once! Incorporate the words into parts of your post; it makes you look more professional and gets you results.
  4. Use Good Pictures: Make sure that you use quality pictures. We talked about how to put those nice large photos into your ads, be sure to do it!
  5. No Picture Spamming: To go along with using those nice pictures, be sure to give your viewers a reason to contact you. If you barrage people with photos and information, they'll never give you a call and you lose your chance to communicate with potential clients.

We at EZ Posting try to improve the ways that you get noticed on Craigslist and Backpage all the time so if you have any thoughts or questions, please contact us at ezposting@gmail.com or visit our website at http://www.ezposting.net/
