All rights reserved. I will start by introducing myself, my name is Rob. I am 31 years old, and have been making a lot of money on Craig’s List over the last year. I am/was a Home Improvement contractor by trade, until I found how easy it was to make really good money on Craig’s List, sitting at home. My contracting business relies on my employees and customers, if anyone of them messes up, I can lose money. But now using the free advertising on Craig’s List, I can generate the same (if not more) income as I was when I had 5 employees and a full time business, but without the headaches! And the good thing about it is I rarely have to leave my house to do it! The internet is open whenever I feel like working, and I have better control of my income. It’s an excellent feeling! I was first introduced to Craig’s List by a friend, to help me find an apartment. Once I started looking around on Craig’s List, I was amazed at all the business transactions taking place. I quickly realized that this was an amazing resource for buyers and sellers, and began trying to find ways I could make money there. The report you are about to read lists the best ways I know of making money on Craig’s List, and how to do it. I will give you some very advanced techniques that I have used for over a year, as well as the basics (with my special twists on them). I have spent the last year and four months on Craig’s List, at least 2 hours a day, and I have made incredible money doing there. I wrote this report to share with you what I have learned, and to help you do the same. Before I get started, I want to say that I will try to keep everything as short as possible. My goal is to give you valuable information, in a report that you can read and understand in Page 6 of 89 The Method Copyright 2007-2008 The Method Reports, llc. All rights reserved. one sitting, and start using the next day! If you have any questions after reading this report, please contact us through the website www.themethodreports.com. We will gladly answer any questions you may have! Please understand that while I can answer a question or two, I cannot become a personal coach to anyone. It is just impossible. You will have to take what I teach you here and make your own way with it. Now here we go… The first thing you need to know about CL is that it is out of control. People post anything they want to, very often offensive, and that’s just the way it is. People will respond to ads you post in many ways; they might love you, hate you, or even threaten you. Be aware of it, and protect yourself to whatever extent you can, and you will be fine. Don’t take the negative comments (there will be many) to heart. Most people who respond negatively to your ads will just be jealous of you, and you should ignore them. You should create a new email account for all the posting you do on CL, and be sure to not use your real name when you sign up for it (if you do, your name will show up next to your email address when you respond to ads). I only say this because a lot of people create a separate email account to do business with and their real name appears next to it when they use it (not private). They are never aware that it shows, and some weird people on CL will call you! You don’t need that, so play smart. Actually, while we are on the topic of private email accounts, stop reading this for a minute and go to Google (or your choice) and set up a free email account that you will use only for posting to CL. Once you have created your new email Page 7 of 89 The Method Copyright 2007-2008 The Method Reports, llc. All rights reserved. account, you might as well set up your Craig’s List posting account at the same time. Follow the directions here to set up your CL posting account (it only takes a few minutes) then you can come back to finish reading the report.
