Getting Referrals from Craigslist

Need more referrals? Yeah, you do. Craigslist.org should be at the top of your list for places to get new yuwie sign ups.

Craigslist is free to use and gives you a perfect platform to advertise your yuwie splash page links. Not only is Craigslist popular itself but many of the ads get listed very high in Google search results. Don’t wait any longer, start writing some Craigslist ads.

Use the following instructions for yourself to get some new referrals. Also… remember to send these instructions to your level one referrals after sending them a few motivating messages and comments. Remember that passing on whatever you learn is the key to success on Yuwie! If every one in your referral tree knows what they are doing, it will grow exponentially.

Let’s Get your Yuwie account Booming!
Ok, this is something we do to get our links out there for people to view.
Go to - www.craigslist.org
On the right side of the page is all the cities (and countries) you can post ads to.

* Select a city for your ad to be posted to…
* Select a section of that city (really doesn’t matter which one, but I usually select the central most one)
* Go back to the top left of the CL page & select “post to classifieds”
* Select “services offered”
* Scroll down to “small biz ads” & select it
* Put in your “catchy” title. Just get their attention!

ex: Get paid for page views?
ex: Make money just hangin’ out!
ex: The Deadline is near!
ex: Warning! Only __ days left to sign up!
ex: Be a part of the Yuwie_lution!

(you get the idea, make them curious, be creative!)

* Enter a few catchy sentences into the ad space..

*Be sure to include the following link:

http://yuwietip.com/i?i=YUWIEIDNUMBER

IMPORTANT… Remember to replace YUWIEIDNUMBER with your actual yuwie id number.

What is my Yuwie id number?

Go to your Yuwie profile page and copy the number at the end of the url in your browser’s address bar:

http://ww3.yuwie.com/profile/?id=THIS_NUMBER

Note: After you modify the above link with your link number - highlight the whole link & right click & copy it so you can then paste it easily without having to edit it again.

* Enter your email address in both lower boxes
* Leave the button selected on “reply to anonymous” at craigslist (center button)
* Select continue…
* Enter the verification word…
* Scroll down & select “Accept terms of use”

You will then get a screen that notifies you that that you will get an email containing your new ad link.

* Go back to your email list & refresh the screen or check for new messages.
* Locate the email from craigslist and open the email.
* Click on the link in the email.
* At the top left you will need to click on “publish” to activate the posting on CL.
* the top banner with then turn green and your ad is posted!

It can sometimes take several minutes for your add to be visible (don’t worry, it will show pretty quickly).

If you want to skip the e-mail verification step every time you post an ad, all you have to do is create a free account with craigslist. When ever you are signed in to your account you will be able to post without having to go check your mail.

You can now go back to CL and post more ads! Make a new title and different post for every ad. The only thing that stays the same is your link.

CL RULES to follow or they will delete your ad.
a) don’t try to use images, a banner ad or a landing page link - they WILL delete the ad.
b) the title of the ad has to be different every time (it won’t post and you will get a error)
c) even a similar sentence will be caught as a possible duplicate ad.
d) don’t hit all the cities down the list (select 8 - 10 random cities per day to post on)

Final Note: You can only post so much on craigslist per day, head over to www.backpage.com and start posting ads there as well. It’s almost the exact same set-up & procedure to place an ad. And remember most of all: make a new title and different post for every ad. The only thing that stays the same is your link.
