My Story:
Hi, my name is Zhenya, and the fact that you are reading this makes it the best thing that has happened to you in the last couple of months.
Two years ago I decided to move from Russia to New York City to pursue the American dream. Back then I had to save every dollar that I had because my future was unclear. As a foreign citizen, I also didn't have a work permit so I couldn't have a work permit so I couldn't be officially employed. That being said - there was no use for my degree in economics and finance. Passionate about entrepreneurship ( and having a huge ego ), I refused to take odd jobs or work as a waiter.
But I still had to pay my bills every month. I had to borrow money, month after month, until my debt reached over $5K. I needed to come up with an idea to not just make ends meet but to also get out of that miserable lifestyle.
I recalled how I once fixed the broken screen on my Nokia cell phone. I decided to give it a try and started fixing electronics.
By watching YouTube, I learned how to fix iPhones and iPads and was ready to start helping humanity with their gadgets. The only problem was - where do I get customers?
The competition for electronics repair in NYC is rigorous. It isn't a new niche and old established companies have been advertising in newspapers, magazines and online for years. How could I possibly compete with their marketing budgets? I had to act smart and apply some guerrilla marketing strategies.
I knew Craigslist as a website where you go if you need to find an apartment or a room to rent or if you want to buy something used but don't have an eBay account. I tried to search for "IPhone repair" and found many different ads. If there was a supply, then there was a demand.
I posted a couple of ads offering cell phone repair. At that time I was just starting and didn't know all the ins and outs of Craigslist posting.
My Ads Looked Horrible Because That Is How 99.9% of All Ads on Craigslist Look.
All I had was three lines of ad copy and a stock picture of a cracked iPhone. Four ads resulted in 3 customers who weren't even scared to meet with me on the street and go to my apartment where I fixed their iPhones( of course,I didn't have money to pay for an office). Just a couple minutes of my time posting those 4 free ads resulted in hard cash. As an entrepreneur , you may be familiar with that feeling of making your first buck. I knew that I was into something big. Craigslist proved itself as a legit source of paying customers.
My first thought was - I need to post more ads on Craigslist. And I'm glad that I committed that mistake. If life hasn't taught you yet, you should know by now that quality is better than quantity. I was spending my time posting ads and fighting with Craigslist anti-spam protections instead of improving my ads and conversion rate. I remember that I still couldn't make enough money from my business to even rent a whole room for myself - I was renting a half of a room. On top of that - my $5K debt also didn't go anywhere.
I started constantly working on my Craigslist ads, refining them, looking for the best techniques and secrets, and developing my own. I encountered many obstacles and issues along the way. But as the old Russian proverb goes: patience and hard work will grind everything ("TepneHNe N TpYa Bce nepeTPYT"). After 6 months, I,d gotten so good at posting on Craigslist that I had more phone calls than I could handle. That was time to expand - I found a partner,hired my first employee and rented a small office. Want some proof and details? We had 10 to 15 customers coming from Craigslist every day. Our price policy was - at least a $40 profit on each service. For example, the most common service was cell phone screen repair - $25 parts + $40 profit, 5 days a week, 4 weeks per month totaling anywhere from $8000 to $12000 per month in PROFIT, not revenue. Rent was $3K (not the store front, but an office in midtown NYC) $1.5k was my assistants salary, and $500 was for internet, a landline, cleaning and other utilities.
I Had From $3000 to $7000 (before tax)
in My Pocket at The End of Every Month.
I was able to reinvest those profits into buying new equipment, tools and paid marketing.
At that point, I came up with a free technique that allowes you to have a so-called "lifetime" of ads, something that will always bring people. Once created - the ads will always work for you even while you are sleeping. You don't even need to continue posting on Craigslist. But you can't get to those ads before you pass the first level of business development - acquiring your first 100 customers. Where it is easier to get them? You can guess the answer.
My business went from ideation to not just an established, but a profitable business in 6 months. If that doesn't impress you, you are wasting your time and mine- this guide is not for you. Go buy yourself a lottery ticket and cross your fingers.

Starting a Great Advertising Campaign on Craigslist - isn't Some Black Art. All You Need are a Couple of Rules - Then Just Follow Them.
The "Craigslist for Small Businesses" is designed to get you your very first customers without spending a penny on ads. You may wonder "How is that possible?" The answer is simple: a free classified website - Craigslist.
The thing is, it can be quite expensive to work with me one-on-one (but worth every penny, I might add). Heck, it's expensive to work with any business consultant, which is why I've created this guide you're about to read.
Reading this guide is similar to getting a specialized Craigslist marketing degree in business school (which even doesn't exist) for less than you're already spending on one dinner for two.
You see, my specialty is Craigslist, specifically, marketing campaigns for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Here's why I might be just what you need:
If you're like a lot of people who need to read this guide, you're in a sticky situation when you have your product or service set up and ready but your phone is silent and your email box is empty.
You know how important it is - customers are vital for any business. But you're not attracting enough of them.
You know that getting more clients and, therefore making more dollars, would make you more comfortable, more confident and infinitely happier in the way your business is going.
But something's holding you back.
It's Time to Make a Change.
Do you recognize any of these situations?
Because if you do,"Craigslist for Small Businesses" can help you right away.
1. Lead generation is erratic. You can't get in front of the right people, or enough of the right people, or enough of the right people enough of the time. 2. Marketing is expensive. You're afraid to spend money on marketing because of the uncertainty of results. 3. People are indifferent. No one seems to care about your product/service. Getting your first 100 customers is difficult. 4. Craigslist is blocking your ads. Craigslist has a long history of being spammed. It keeps ghosting your ads. 5. Even with "live" ads, your phone is silent. People click on your ad, but something doesn't seem right to them, so they don't call / email you.
Big companies have huge marketing budgets, and marketing departments filled with experienced marketers. You don't have anything like that ... and frankly you don't want to spend your time managing all those people.
After all' that's one of the reasons you decided to become your own boss.
This Book is NOT For you if:
- you're looking for a guide on "how to get millions of loyal customers without spending some time or making an effort," then this guide isn't it.
It's only for serious players. It takes effort and it takes hard work. If you're looking for a magic bullet, or for somebody else to do the work, then this guide isn't for you.
Are you ready to get serious?
Because if you are, you owe it to yourself to learn the best techniques of advertising on Craigslist and jump start your business.
I'll bet that when you READ THIS GUIDE TODAY, you'll wake up each morning with a new determination to improve your campaign, to attract an avalanche of customers and to make a real difference in your revenue. And if you need help with that ... you'll have the right source...

Hello Zhenya,
I'm enjoying your guide very much and I'm attempting to apply what I've learned from you. I'm working on tracking the number of people who have clicked on my ads - something that Craigslist doesn't offer.
really enjoyed the last chapter "Business Development Beyond Craigslist". That concept of "life-time ads" never occurred to me but it is so obvious!
Thanks. - Anna Moretto,

How Much Does it Cost?
I don't know what your businesss price policy is, but I would assume that you value your own time to be worth at least $20 per hour (although, it is more likely to be $30 or even more). Now, how much do you make off of one customer?
After applying techniques and hacks in this guide, I got at least 3 - 7 customers off of each ad. Not 3 ad viewers, CUSTOMERS. And if you have a mind of a businesman you will be able to sell not once, but hundred times.
To get a competitive advantage and learn the best Craigslist tricks, you pay $47. That is not enough, since you will make this money back after running the first batch of ads.
I want you to have all those secrets so you don't need to fight with Craigslist and spend 6 months revising and repeating your campaign.
I've been there, posting ads every hour and watching them get "ghosted." I don't want you to suffer as I did. This is why I want to give you some solid, successful and practical advice that you can use.
