11 Essentials for Craigslist Lead Capture

Sounds pretty simple for the newbies out there and an easy way to build your lead database. 

Good Morning Jack:  This is some great Info for all in the business,  keep up the good work and good luck with your business,  E

Been sitting in on all your web-seminars. Always great information. Thanks.

This is good information.  I am going to try the craigslist postings after 6 and see how it compares with the other times.  Thanks!

Thanks for the great advice.  I like your direct approach to sharing the information.

Thanks for posting!  I signed up for the Craigslist webinar but missed it. Glad you posted it on Active Rain.

We've had great success with Craigslist.  We get tons of leads from it and it does take some work to get through the "lookie loos" to the good stuff but it's there.  Our most recent success story:  buyer called from a Craigslist ad on an $850K listing and actually wrote an offer on the property!  We thought about not even adding this listing to CL since the price was so far outside of our average but we figured what will it hurt?  It's definately worth the hour or so a day we put into posting ads.

Thank you so much for the post!  Craigslist is one of those marketing strategies that intimidates me!  Those are some great tips!

I've always thought about using a CL ads for my business. Although I think you have to wade through some spam, looks like it can be well worth. Thanks for the great information.

Craiglist is necessary to know~ love it or hate it, Craiglist works.

Thanks Jack for sharing your successful  strategies for it.

Jack, Craigs List is one of the things that I've always meant to get to, but just haven't got there yet.

Jack, thank you for the valuable information.  I have normally posted Craigs List ads in the morning.  I will try your after 6:00 suggestion.  Do you wait until after 6:00 on weekends as well?  I would think that weekend mornings would be prime time??

Jack:  Not being an Agent ... I'm wondering.  Any suggestions on ways that Lenders can utilize Craigslist to their advantage for capturing business?  I know it's a long stretch, but we're not ALL agents here on AR ... and we could use a tip or two too ..

I build 3 or more similar but different ads so I can post one each day per property.  If you are using the same picture, just do a save as with a different name... 123Maple1, 123Maple2...
