Most of you know about Craigslist, but few know about Kijiji. One is more popular in the States, while other is more popular outside of US. Anyways, I accidentally found a trick to work around both.

I found this offer on Azoogle , that allowed search, web and email promotions.  I was promoting it through Adwords, and not generating enough volume.  At first I place a small enticing ad on Craislist in 1 large city, and instead of linking it directly to the offer, I added one my junk email address, and setup to autorespond with a link to the offer.  This reduced the amount of time that I would be replying to each submitter, and to Craigslist editors, it looked like I was actually a seller.  All the autoresponder email said was click on this link to get your xxx or copy and paste the url that you see below in your browser.  That was my biggest day of profit.  That was free advertising, and the EPC with Craigslist was great.

I then wanted to try something else.  I wanted to see if I could just place the offer link on the page itself.  But I knew that it would eventually get caught when checked manually by editors.  So, not being too greedy, I set up an autoresponder again.  Waited for 1 day, and the great thing about Craigslist is that you can actually edit your ad.  So, next day, I edited the ad, hoping that the editors had already checked it.  And sure enough, the ad didn’t get declined.  Sure, after a couple of days the traffic dies out, but if you have the right offer, you can actually come out pretty good.

Use the same tactic with Kijiji and you will get results.  The great thing about each of the above ad avenues is that you have 100s of cities to target, and reach millions of users.

It is not a huge number, but in 3 days from Kijiji & Craigslist, I made over $675, which is not too shabby for anyone wanting wanting to dip their toes and try out an offer.  I just got too lazy to be adding the ads to each city.  But if you have the patience, go ahead, it’s easy (free) money.
