Introduction

Hello and thank you for purchasing Quick Cash On Craigslist.

If you know me from my Internet marketing blog, BlogStash.com, then

you know I am a straight shooter and that I don't like to hype things up.

This eBook is written the same way I write my blog posts, without any

fluff and straight to the point.

This is a simple yet proven Craigslist money-making method that you

can use today without any experience what so ever. This works if you

are willing to put some effort into it.

However, if you are looking for a push button method, or one of those

“make money while you sleep” stuff, then I'm afraid this isn't for you.

This method is about taking advantage of tow powerful websites,

Craigslist, an old and trusted classified site used by millions of people

around the world, and Fiverr, a new micro freelancing website that has

taken the outsourcing world by storm.

I am going to show you how to combine these two sites and what they

have to offer, to make a living with just 5 bucks and with no prior

knowledge or experience.

iii

What Is Fiverr?

Fiverr.com is a new micro-freelancing site where people sell all kinds of

gigs for mere 5 bucks. And while the old saying "You get what you paid

for" is usually true, there are lots of cases on Fiverr where you do get

high quality services for just $5. These gigs are offered by starving

artists, freelancers and regular folks with different talents who are

looking to earn some extra cash online.

What Is Craigslist?

I am sure most of you know what Craigslist is. But for those who don't

know, Craigslist is the biggest classified site on the planet where

millions of people go each day to sell and buy everything from cars and

houses to furniture, DVDs, books and anything in between. Craigslist is

also used to find jobs and hire people in lots of different industries.

How Are We Going To Make Money Using These Two Sites?

The concept is very simple and one that lots of people use in different

industries to make a living – we are going to basically act as the middle

man between service providers (Fiverr vendors) and local small

business owners (on Craigslist) who need the services of these

providers.

The basic idea is that we are going to find gigs that offer some kind of

gig that can cater to the needs of small businesses. We purchase these

gigs for just $5 on Fiverr. We then will turn around and sell those

services to local small businesses for $50,$75, $100, $200 or whatever

amount that's appropriate for such services.

iv

That's the basic idea behind this method. But there are some very

important details (explained through out the eBook) that you need to

get right in order to succeed.

Ready to make some money? Let's get to it then!...

Chapter 1: Finding A Suitable Gig On Fiverr

First things first! We need to visit www.Fiverr.com to search for a gig

that we can sell on Craigslist as our own.

Craigslist is without a doubt the biggest classified sites in the world and

so it has lots of different categories to cover the needs of all kinds of

people. However, we need to pick a category that people spend money

on it.

Obviously, one of the best money spending groups of professionals

who use Craigslist are business owners and especially those

businesses that have an online presence.

Hundreds and thousands of business owners use Craigslist to hire all

kinds of experts from web designers and marketers to SEOs, virtual

assistants and others to get things done professionally and

inexpensively.

So, as an online marketer, I always go for business owners, as I know

they have the spending power and they do hire folks on Craigslist.

Visit Fiverr and search for gigs that a business owner may be interested

in.

What kind of gigs a business owner may need and may be interested

in, you ask?...

Well, think of gigs like online promotion, social media campaigns, video

testimonials, video ads and so on.

Page 1

On the right side of the Fiverr homepage, you will see a list of

catgeories. Lets click on Business.

Now, to find the best service providers, click on the "rating" tab. That

will show you the servcie provider based on their ratings.

Obviously, highest ratings indicates more happy customers which

means the seller is doing something right. So, based on the ratings,

choose one of the sellers.

As an example, I have picked this gig:

http://fiverr.com/gregorysheppard/create-a-business-testimonial-video

This guy will make a HD video promo for businesses or websites which

promotes their websites or business for only 5 bucks.

Page 2

This gig is only $5, but to a small business owner, its worth way more

than that as it gives the business a professional tool to market itself

professionally just like the big boys.

Let me be honest here. To a business owner, this service is easily

worth hundreds of dollars. I mean, there are professional companies

out there that charge thousands of dollars to create high quality

promotional videos.

Now, you can get them for mere 5 bucks. How easy it would be to turn

around and sell the same service to a business owner for $100, $200 or

even more?... Very easy, now that you are reading this guide!

I personally flip them anywhere from $80 to up to $250 or so,

depending on the type of business and the business owner I am

dealing with. That's a sweet $75 to $245 profit for basically doing

Page 3

nothing!

Now, there are a few criteria that we need to keep in mind when looking

for gigs to flip.

1. a Gig that would interest and benefit a business owner in some

way or another.

2. The service should be a highly relevant service.

3. It has to cost lower than we can sell it for.

As you can see, our example gig meets all 3 criteria. It is a perfect fit!

I am an Internet junky myself and I know how easy it is to get lost on

some of these websites. Fiverr is one of those sites that doesn't take

much to get lost in it and get side tracked.

There are hundreds and thousands of gigs being offered on Fiverr,

good, bad and some very weird ones.

But, we don't need all of them. We just need gigs that are beneficial to

small to mid size businesses.

We need gigs like the following:

• Video testimonial services

Page 4

• Video creation services

• Backlink building services

• Search Engine Optimization services

• Social media services (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn)

•

These are the kind of gigs that we can buy for $5 on Fiverr and turn

around and sell on Craigslist to business owners for $80 to $250 or

more, easily.

Page 5

Chapter 2: Learning How Relible The Seller Is

Now that we have chosen our gig, we have to ensure that the provider

can deliver.

We need someone reliable and trust worthy.

You don't want to make promises to business owners, then not be able

to deliver.

After all, business owners know other business owners and they often

recommend services providers to each other. So, you don't want to be

one that they tell each other to stay away from because you can't

deliver.

The good thing about Fiverr is that finding out who is reliable and

delivers quality work is as easy as pie. You can see a seller's reputation

by looking at her or his feedback.

Page 6

To make it easy for you to follow me here, lets just stick with our

example gig that we chose above.

Now that we have spotted a potential gig we can flip for a profit, and

have found a potential seller who we can work with, its time to test him

to see how relible he is .

Simply click on the Contact Seller tab right under the Order Now tab.

Ask the seller if he or she can handle more than just a few orders?...

Here is a template you can use to contact sellers:

Hi,

I am very interested in your service. But I need somone who can deliver

constent work. Would you be able to deliver quality work on a regular

basis?...

Thanks.

Page 7

Remember, you are going to be offering this service on Craigslist, and

you will get lots of orders depending on how many cities you post your

CL ad to, and how you price your service.

So, you want to be sure that the Fiverr provider is able to handle all

those orders.

If the seller doesn't respond quick enough or responds with a negative

answer, then move on to another seller.

If the seller promptly replies and confirms he or she is able to deliver

any amount of work, then you are in.

Page 8

Chapter 3: Taking The Gig For A Test Drive

Now, you want to make money and you want to make lots of it. For that

reason you need to build a reputation with your clients. You want to

deliver high quality work.

I know we already narrowed down our search of quality sellers by

rating, and we have contacted the seller to, but a good flipper always

tests things for himself.

So, if the seller responded positively, simply order one of his or her gigs

to get a feel for the quality of the work.

Now for our scenario I decided to go with this particular gig as the

appropriate candidate:

http://fiverr.com/gregorysheppard/create-a-business-testimonial-video

I Then go on to:

1. Get in touch with the seller and ask him or her if he or she is able

to handle a lot of work. If the answer is YES, we proceed.

2. I then place an order with the seller to test the quality of the gig.

3. Evaluate the work to see if everything was spot on; quick delivery

and quality of the work.

Assuming we verified all of these things, then we are on our way to

making good money as we have just found ourselves a reliable Fiverr

seller who also delivers quality work on time.

Page 9

Chapter 4: (Optional) Building A Simple Free Portfolio Page

To be honest, this is what can make or break all of your efforts and hard

work. You have to look professional, otherwise business owners will

have a hard time trusting you.

The best way to ensure you look like a professional service provider is

to have a simple website where you have your contact information, a

little about the service you provide and so on.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy, in fact, you can even use free blog

sites like blogger to create a nice looking site in a matter of minuets.

Of course, if you know how and can afford it, I would suggest you buy a

domain of your own, and set up your site that way. But either way is

fine, as long as you have a site where business owners can see for

themselves that you are in fact a professional and legit service

provider, you are good to go.

The most important thing you should ensure to add to your website is a

small portfolio or examples of the service or product you are offering.

We all like to see samples of people's work before we hire them,

wouldn't you be more comfortable ordering something from someone

after seeing a few samples of their work?...

Exactly! Then make sure you provide a few samples of your work on

your website.

Chapter 5: Creating A High Quality Graphical Ad

If you want to take this one step further and make your ad look even

more professional, do what I do.

I would go to Fiverr and find somebody to design me a nice looking

graphical ad.

Remember to tell the Fiverr guy to make the graphic somehow that it

can be click-able. People are more likely to click on image ads.

It costs just 5 bucks to get a nice looking graphic ad designed, but it

can have a huge effect on your conversion.

Think about it, when you go on Craigslist looking for something, if you

see 2 similar ads, but one has a nice looking graphic and looks like a

professional company stands behind it, wouldn't you click that ad?...

Believe it or not, having a graphical ad can really change the whole

game for you. It can easily double and even triple the amount of traffic

you may get from the ad. So, if you can afford that $5, don't hesitate to

do it.

To find a good designer on Fiverr who can create graphical ads, simply

go to Fiverr and search for "Ad Design".

You will get 3x as much traffic this way and more sales in turn.

Once you get the code for the ad, all you have to do is to simply paste it

in the body section of your ad (either above or below the text) and

watch the traffic roll in!

Page 11

Chapter 6: Writing A Captivating Ad

Your ad on Craigslist is what the small business owners will see first

and that is when they decide on whether or not to contact you and buy

from you. So, it is important to look and sound like a professional

service provider.

Ad Title: Of course, the title of your ad is the very first thing that they will

see and if your title is not attractive enough, they wont even click on it

and so they will never even see your ad no matter how great it may be

and how professional it looks and sounds.

Content Of Your Ad: Now, in the actual body of your ad, be sure to give

as much details as you can while keeping it professional.

Here is an example of a good ad:

Stunning HD Promotional Video Creation Service

Promote your Business with quality while saving money on advertising!

Promote your Business, Brand or Product with our High Quality, HD

Video!

This 30 second Video is ideal for your website and can be easily

uploaded to YouTube and other social media outlets like Facebook,

twitter,etc.

Our high quality videos will keep your customers and clients interested

in your business and will keep them coming back to you for years to

come.

Page 12

You get 10 Sentences to talk about your business. You also can add 3

Images, your company Logo and Company Info.

Now, this alone can bring you lots of leads and some of those leads will

convert into sales. But if you want to really make money, you need to

post your ad in as many cities as you can.

Of course, you can manually do that yourself, but to speed things up,

you can hire someone from Fiverr to post your ads in multiple cities on

Craigslist. The more cities you have ads on, the more leads you are

likely to get.

And what better place to find people to outsource to than our very own

dear Fiverr!!

Page 13

Chapter 7: Posting Your Ad On Craiglist

Before we go any further, CL requires you to have an account in order

to post ads. So, if you don't already have one, register an account for

free by going to https://accounts.craigslist.org/signup

Don't worry, its %100 free to register.

Ok, now that we now have identified a fitting Gig that we can sell as a

middle man for a higher price, we now have to actually work on

reselling it.

The best thing about posting ads on Craigslist is that you can post to

hundred and thousands of cities and tat means you can literally target

the whole country! Can you imagine how much sales you can get if you

did that!

We will simply visit Craigslist.org and choose a major city or perhaps

state to post our ads to.

The important thing to remember is that you can post your ad in any city

or state you like, but if you want to make real money, you have to go

where the real money is and when it comes to Craigslist, the real

money is in big cities since thousands upon thousands of business

owners in major cities use Craigslist to hire people for variety of

services.

Now that we have our graphic and the ad all ready to go, we need to

start posting the ad in as many cities as we can.

Page 14

You have 2 choices here:

1. Post the ad manually to as many cities as you can.

2. Pay someone to do it for you.

1- Post the ad manually to as many cities as you can.

All you have to do is copy and paste the same ad in different cities in

Craigslist. It takes a bit of time, but it's not that bad.

Lets say we go with Chicago...

• Simply click on POST TO CLASSIFIEDS on the upper left hand

side of the page. Click on the POST TO CLASSIFIEDS tab and

continue on.

• The next step would be choosing the type of ad you are going to

place. Obviously, in our scenario, we would choose SERVICE

OFFERED.

• In the next page you are going to choose the actual category for

your ad. With our example (video creation service) we will

choose Creative Services.

• On the next page we will be filling out the details of our ad, title,

description, etc.

Needless to say, make sure your ad describes exactly what you are

offering. Use attention grabbing titles for your ads to draw in more

potential clients.

Page 15

2- Pay someone to do it for you.

Now, if you want to speed things up and outsource even this part of the

process (like me). This allows for us to scale our method by simply

copying our ads and posting them in the next big city and watch the

sales come in.

I usually post 10 ads per day or more depending on the day.

Certain days such as Thursday I post more ads because I seem to get

more sales this way.

But let me make it clear that I NEVER post the ads myself…I outsource

this part as well.

What I usually do is the following:

Simply go to a freelancing job site like www.Odesk.com. The thing I like

about Odesk is that you can hire people by the hour and not by the job.

You can find lots of workers who will work for $3,$4 an hour. In one

hour one can easily post 10-20 ads in different cities.

Also, I myself haven't tried it yet, but I am sure there are people on

Fiverr who may do that as well. the only difference is that on Fiverrr,

people probably charge for posting a number of ads, say $5 to post 10

ads or what have you.

Either way, when hiring someone to post ads for you, keep the

Page 16

following in mind:

You are going to get lots of replies from potential workers. To ensure

you hire the right one, make sure you contact them and see how quick

they reply to you.

Always, always ask for a few samples. Ask them to post one ad for you

as a sample to see if they do it right and on time.

Page 17

Chapter 8: Enjoy The Cash!

Now all you have to do is to keep up with the sales coming in, and

enjoy seeing money rolling in.

There you go guys, a truly easy way to make a lot of money without

spending hardly any money and without doing much of the work

yourself.

If you read my blog BlogStash.com, you know that I am a straight

shooter. I don't below things out of proportion. I don't like to hype things

up, I don't like to promise people they can make thousands of dollars

over night, when in fact, I know it's not possible.

But you can do this and make money, if you take action. I guranty you

can make it happen.

Page 18

Chapter 9: Recap!

OK lets do a quick recap of the whole thing:

1. Search Fiverr.com and find a gig that you can resell to businesses or

people on Craigslist.

2. Buy the gig so you can see if the product is quality enough and the

provider delivers on time.

3. Find out if the gig seller can actually deliver work on regular basis.

4. Build a simple yet professional looking site where people can see

your portfolio and order your service. (Of course, this is optional. You

don't have to have a website if you don't want to.)

5. Get a nice high quality graphic ad created for you on Fiverr.

6. Write an attention grabbing ad to place on Craigslist.

7. Post your ad on Craigslist in the appropriate category where you

know businesses who your service caters to are likely to visit.

8. Repeat step 7, posting your ad on as many cities as you can.

9. Enjoy quick and profitable sales coming your way, thanks to the

whopping 80 million people who visit Craigslist each and every month.

Page 19

Chapter 10: Bonus Tip For Making Big Money

I have done this once already and so can you. Implement this guide set

by step, build a small yet stable and reliable site/business catering to

the needs of businesses

If you really do this the right way, after a few months or so, you will end

up with a reliable income producing site that you can easily sell for a

huge profit, if you ever decide to.

Usually an average site sells on Flippa for 10 to 15 times its monthly

earnings.

For example, lets say you make around $70 a day with this site. 70

dollar x 30 Days is $2100. Now 2100 x 10 and you get $21,000. Yes,

your site can go from being worth nothing to $21,000 in just a few

months.

How do you think people who make money flipping websites make

hundreds of thousands of dollars with every site they sell?...

They more or less do what I explained in this guide. They build a site

and get to where it earns a set amount every month. Then they sell it

for 10-15 times that amount.

Keep in mind that you don't have to sell your site. It's just an option for

those who may want to move on or are just tired of doing this. You can

keep the site and keep making money with the service you are offering.

You could even scale it up and offer more than just one or two services.

Just repeat the steps outlined above to add more and more services to

your site.

Last Word

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this guide, and moreover, I truly hope

you guys will take action and implement this method.

I am certain if you do your part, you will make money with no problem at

all.

But remember, most people fail to make money online because they

never take any action. They just read, buy eBooks, guides, tools and

softwares, thinking they are going to make money, but they never

actually implement or use what they have learned from those

resources.

I sincerely hope you take action and make money with this method.
