So I completed my special report this morning so that I was ready to post the ad in Craigslist today. I'm really cutting it close because I have another appointment at 9:30 and it's 8:30 now.
So here goes. I'm including an image from the cover of my special report in the listing. It appears that ads with pictures are more successful (I only say that because a lot of them have pictures). It also appears you can say a lot with a little bit of text changing that way. I uploaded the book and the report to my web server just now.
Then I have to write the little bit of code to insert the image in the ad. By 8:48, my first ad is created, along with the image. I've opened my confirmation email, and I even created a craigslist account.
Building on a Budget offers some very specific words to use for your ad, and Mike Dillard suggests keeping is short and sweet, which is hard for me because I'm a wordy girl. But I think I did okay for my first post.
My special report is a collection of conversations with successful people in my organization, so it not only provides helpful info, it pitches my company and establishes my expertise all at the same time. Exactly what Mike talks about in Magnetic Sponsoring.
I've heard a lot about ads being "ghosted", so we'll see if that happens here. They say it takes 15 minutes for the post to appear, so we should know something in about that time frame. Just enough time for me to shower and dress for my appointment!
Ciao for now.
