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

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

account, you might as well set up your Craig’s List posting
account at the same time. Follow the directions here to set up

I recommend that you spend a day or two clicking every
single category and section available on Craig’s List to familiarize
yourself with it. You should do this for one main reason; you
need to know of everything available on Craig’s List. Almost
everyone who uses CL only opens fewer than 3 sections there!
If you want to harness the real power of ALL of CL’s users, you
need to go where they are (every section on the homepage).
I will warn you that there are some sections on CL where
users post very explicit photos and offers, you will know when
you are getting close to seeing something that may bother
you:) Resist temptation and don’t look, I have seen things that
made me uncomfortable for a few days:) Those sections are
typically found under “personals”, and most often in the
sections of “misc romance”, and “casual encounters”. This isn’t
to say that you shouldn’t use these sections at all. I have found
these sections to contain some of the most responsive users,
depending on what type of ad you are posting. Just be aware.
Why should you know of
everything
available on
Craig’s List?
How else can you make deals and money if you are in the
dark? In order to make the most money possible on CL, you will
need to understand what you can offer to the users, and also to

the service providers. You should scroll down through the ads
and see what topics come up often and what items and services
are popular. Once you know of everything happening on CL,
you will be much quicker to realize an opportunity when it

headline…those ads will get opened almost every time just on
curiosity alone:) Then if you are offering something nice, you at
least have the reader’s attention!

When you click on an ads headline, this is what it will look
like when it opens:
The bold black print in the ad is the headline (what you saw
on the page that lists the ads). When you post an ad, your
email address is concealed from the reader (unless you specify
that it shouldn’t be), and when people view your ad, they can’t
tell who posted it. Notice the blue link to the right of “reply to:”
at the top left corner of the ad. That is CL disguising your email
address as the blue link.
Page 18 of 89 The Method

When a reader wants to respond to your ad, they click the
blue link (unless you have included your contact info in the ad
body, or specified that your email address should be exposed).
When they click the blue link they are actually responding to CL,
and then CL forwards the email to your email address. Once
you respond to the person who answered your ad (from your
email account), they will be able to see your email address.
Why again is it important to use a hidden or private email
account when posting to CL? A girl I met on CL told me that she
had an item posted for sale, and she received a nasty response
from some guy who was terribly angry at her for no apparent
reason (not that unusual on CL:). He cursed her out in his email,
and she responded accordingly (cursed him right back). She did
this using her work email account, and her email address had
