Niche Marketing To Craig's List

By Jeremy Lawrence

Most businesses these days have to do some sort of Internet
niche marketing if they want to keep their head above
water. If you are a small-business owner like me, chances
are you have had to learn some niche marketing strategies
in order to survive, perhaps even begrudgingly. I know
myself, I would rather be focusing on learning more about
my craft and my business itself, not the ins and outs of
niche marketing. Yet niche marketing has brought me a
greater appreciation for my customers and their needs. In
fact, I even enjoy it now.

In this article I will share with you general approaches
for one of the most viable free traffic sources on the
Internet: Craig's List.

The big "Internet gurus" are just finally getting around to
noticing this incredible source of free traffic. Yes,
Craig's list is a Goldmine of marketing opportunities
awaiting you if approached correctly. If approached blindly
however, you can waste a lot of time and not see any
reward. There are a few unique strategies that I employ now
that have sent my click rates through the roof.

You see, I live in San Francisco. (the birthplace of
Craig's list) I have seen Craig's List grow from a very
small list into a worldwide phenomena. I have been
marketing on Craig's list for 10 years and know all the
tricks. In fact, I have spoken with Craig many times (yes
there is a real guy named Craig). To some people the
Craig's List web site might look a little complicated. Do
this right now, open up another browser window and I will
walk you through a few areas of the web site, highlighting
the potential free niche marketing options.

Community

In the upper left-hand corner is this box. Listed as
subheadings are "activities," "artists," "general," "pets,"
and others.

The "General" category is an excellent place for any kind
of free report or other free promotional activity. Really,
anything goes in this category. Having said that, you do
not want to post anything in here that mentions a fee or
even has prominently displayed fee based services on your
landing page. If you do, it will likely get flagged,
quickly.

However you can market your free newsletters, free reports,
free tele-classes. If you have a niche product that
corresponds to one of the subheadings, all the better. For
instance if you are promoting a book on dog training, the
"pets" category here could be a gold mine.

Personals

You may think "personals" is a total waste of time unless
you are looking for a date, however, the "missed
connections," "rants and raves" and "miscellaneous romance"
could be a viable place for marketing a free newsletter or
free products or relationship tools or similar things.
Again, be careful with fee-based products. The Craig's list
community will flag them very quickly.

Discussion forums

It speaks for itself. In general, these are focused
discussions on an array of topics. Currently there are 72
discussion forums active. The discussions are worldwide,
existing on every Craig's list. Personally, I have not
spent much time here, but I bet you could have great
success if you found an appropriate niche. These are
real-time discussions. (Hmm, I have to try this myself)

For Sale

Yes, For Sale. How have you overlooked this before? These
are free classified ads going out to thousands and
thousands of people interested in what you are selling in
every major city in the world. These are focused niche
categories. There are many ways to promote products. For
instance, there is a "computer" category. Presumably, those
that click on this category will be looking to buy a
computer or computer related products. What if you wrote an
e-book on how to maintain your computer? Sell it here.
"Registry Cleaner Affiliate," sell it here. There are
categories like "sports," "musical instruments,"
"motorcycles," "general." Check this out. It is a real
goldmine. I still promote Free stuff here, with the "For
Sale" items at the landing page.

Services

"Services" is where independent businesses can place free
ads. Niches include, "financial," "legal," "therapeutic."
This is also a category where you can flat out promote your
services. And it is all free.

How to Leverage the Power of Craig's List.

Craig's list is operational in hundreds of cities all over
the world now. This gives the opportunity to put free ads
in front of thousands and thousands of people every day,
focused and targeted toward your niche. However, who has
the time to post hundreds of advertisements? I certainly do
not. And, one thing about the Craig's list niche marketing
strategy - you must post a lot of ads and rotate them
regularly.

This is not easy as Craig's list has duplication flag that
will not allow you to post the same message in more than
one location or at one time. So, the way around this is to
write several different ads. Just change the wording; it is
simple. Yet, it takes time. You only have to do it once. It
is time well spent.

What I do is write several different ads/postings for
different categories.

For example:

I have "Free Stuff"Ads for the Community and other
non-sales areas. I have several free reports and several
e-mail newsletters. So, I have four or five different
versions of each "Free Stuff" Ad.

I have "Paid Products and Services"Ads For the Sale and
Services Sections. I also have four or five different
versions of several paid products that I list in the "For
Sale" and "Services" section. Part of my business is in the
therapeutic section.

Every day I have at least 15 to 20 Craig's list ads
targeting specific niches. I generally post in the most
populated and active communities. I rotate the ads so as to
not set off the duplicate content filters.

Niche Marketing to Craig's list can be very profitable if
it is done correctly. It can also be very time-consuming.
As someone who has grown up in the Craig's list community,
I have seen the ins and outs of it for years (since 1997 to
be precise) and realize its quirky nature. The methods I
now use took me about six or seven years to develop and
research.

All of your efforts will do no good if your postings get
flagged by the community or if your delivery and approach
is wrong. In short, niche marketing to Craig's list can be
an absolute gold mine if done correctly. If done
incorrectly, you can waste a lot of time and not see any
results.
