Craigslist has been very frustrating in that most of my ads get ghosted when putting up multiple different listings(show up active in the acct view but are not listed)<br />
<br />
I've heard you need to vary your email, phone number, overall style and all.<br />
<br />
Have you run into this, if so how do you combat it?<br />
<br />
Thanks, Joe

I fought that for years, outsourced help non stop. They just change too rapidly and make it too stressful. Eventuall i gave up with it, and its a big reason why i went toward less stuff, higher profit margin. 1 item i can max out ads, but 20 small things just didnt make sense after a while considering ghosted ads. <br />
<br />
make 3 phone verified accounts. <br />
<br />
2 ads from one account from your computer<br />
2 ads from the next account from your computer<br />
2 more ads from your 3rd account on your smart phone (not through your router)<br />
<br />
thats 6 ads per day, i honestly dont use that many when listing, 2-3 per day an item is more than enough, depending on your location and market it can vary obviously though. If there are 6 new items per day under video games, 1 listing per day could be too much. People will scroll down to the day before and see it, no reason to list everyday if unsaturated market, it pisses people off (gets you flagged), wastes your time, and makes you look desperate.<br />
<br />
Now if there are thousands of ads per day which i compete in ill do one ad at lunch time, one at 5:30 (everyones home from work browsing) and 7:45. I get calls almost everytime i use that strategy but again, thats a super saturated market otherwise ill list once a day or every other day. <br />
<br />
<br />
Compelling pictures are the most important thing. (whatever the competition is doing to show the product, display yours better, you would be surprised how many people are scared to buy or "i dont know anything about it" so half the battle is presenting your product with little risks and answering the phone with a positive, strong tonality, confident in yourself and your $10 used speaker, or $50,000 car, it makes no difference.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Its getting so competitive and everyone is doing such a good job with pictures that i am now getting into 360 degree pictures to display on craigslist. Always have to be a step ahead, thats the #1 key.</div>
