How to Post an Online Classifieds Ad on Craigslist


Craigslist is one of the world's largest online classifieds website. Online classifieds are a superb way for individuals to post advertisements about almost anything. With the advent of the internet, sites like Craigslist make it extremely easy to reach out to a vast audience without incurring any costs.

If you want to organize a garage sale or sell your old bike, all you need to do is post a relevant ad on this website and offers will soon start pouring in. One of the significant reasons of its success is the fact that it has immaculate segmentation and advertisements can be sorted by location, category, sub category, etc. This gives the user the ability to approach a very targeted and niche audience. You can post jobs and recruit people through this site. On the other hand you can post your own resume and seek employment. The possibilities are almost endless.

The ease of use also adds to the likability factor of this website. The first thing to do is to choose your location. If you want to post an advertisement regarding a house for sale in a particular city you first need to go the Craigslist city specific page. You will then be asked to pick your category and nature of your classifieds ad. Finally you will have to create a title and description of your ad. The description segment is where you fill out the complete particulars of the classified ad that you want to post. You will receive an email asking you to confirm your post. Once you confirm your post, it will then be posted to the relevant section on the website.

The ability to search by city and category draws in a focused audience to your post. To continue our example, if you have posted your ad for the sale of a house in a particular city, you will find out that home seekers from that city will be drawn to your post and contact you to make their offer. People looking for homes in other cities will most likely not click on your post.

There are several websites who have offered similar services, however Craigslist continues to be one of the market leaders in this industry and commands the lion's share of traffic. Hence if you are looking to post classified ads, you can choose to post it on many sites but Craigslist should be one of the main sites in your arsenal.
