Did you know that people are earning a full-time income on Craigslist?
Well, they are and I have been using it for years now to add an extra income each month.
Hence, the first money I made online was by a method called Online Arbitrage, long before I got in to affiliate marketing. The reason I’m still doing it today is because it’s still very profitable and so much easier to do compared to affiliate marketing.
This method is in my opinion the best way to get started online as a complete beginner. Why?
Well, you don’t need a website, you don’t need an email list and there’s no need to have a YouTube channel with a “gazillion” subscribers. Best thing is most of the work is done by someone else.
But first things first, if you are looking for a push-button system that does not require any work then this is NOT for you . Let me tell you even more, there is NO such thing as a “Push button and make money” system!
However, if you are willing to put some effort in and want a proven, easy to do system that gets results, then this is for you.
Right then, let’s dive into the method
Just yesterday I got an email reply from a customer that wants to put money in my Paypal account:
Now let me explain the picture above and tell you what we are going to be doing to make some easy money on Craigslist.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere you already know what Craigslist is. BUT did you know that Craigslist is in the top 10 most visited sites worldwide.
Think about that for a second, all you need is a small portion of that traffic and offer them a valuable service that will make them some good money.
HOW WE DO THIS :
We’re going to post ads on Craigslist, offering services that we can easily outsource such as
- Graphic Design
- Web Design
- Video Creation
We’ll be posting them in the services section
It’s very important that your offer(thus your ad) meets 2 criteria:
- It has to be in high-demand
- You can outsource it easily
For these services, we will be posting under 3 different sub-sections of the services section:
- Small Biz Ads
- Creative
- Computer
My ads look something like this
And yes, that is the exact ad that the above reply came from, where the customer said: “I am interested in doing this”
Other examples of good ads would be:

Ok, so now you’ve got your ads posted, give it some time, and you will have people emailing you, that they are in need of your service.
Now it’s time to go find someone that we can outsource this work to.
For the starting price of….$5
Lets head on over to Fiverr.com
Once you are here simply search for the service that you are offering, and find a gig that has good reviews to match it up with.
After just one search for “video creation” I found this gig, he has TONS of positive reviews and delivers within 24 hours.
Take your customers order for $299, and then place an order from a gig on Fiverr, to get that same order done for about $5 to $50. That’s literally all there is to it.
Not a bad return for posting a gig and placing an order, eh?
Here are some extra tips to make this work even better
Tip 1:
Some possible clients will ask if they can see a demo of your previous work.
How do you get these videos? Well simply buy yourself a couple of videos from the seller who you want to work with and store them on your computer. It’s a $25 investment! Besides having a portfolio,the other benefit is, you know the quality of his work now.
Tip 2:
Keep your video seller happy. DON’T go asking for lower prices because you order a lot of work from them. Instead if they always deliver quality work, REWARD them for their work . Give them some extra money or offer them a higher pay rate (instead of $5 offer them $8). This keeps them happy and will keep them engaged in working for you.
Enjoyed today’s free training and want more, cool, free stuff?
If so, then I’ve got something else you’ll definitely want in on…
So what is it, eh?
Well, for a limited time, I’m giving away my brand new course.
This course will show you how you can make a full time, passive income from home.
And yes, you can scale this up to whatever level you desire.
So whether you want to make $100 a day or even
$500 a day it’s possible with this.
Pretty cool, huh. So how do you get instant free access?

I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post's to be exactly what I'm looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs? I wouldn't mind composing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome website!
Thanks, really appreciate your interest in my blog. As for guest writing on my blog, as long as it is related to my other stuff I will consider it. Only one rule, NO affiliate links to push-a-button and make money nonsense, if you want to promote something I don't mind BUT I want to protect my readers from all the shite products in this industry.
