Truth is, I didn’t want to be away from my family and that is how I got started selling items on Craigslist.

In order to make the most money from Craigslist you need to know the following tips because they will either make you a lot of money of you will totally disregard them and you won’t make a dime.

Tips to earn extra money from Craigslist

List multiple items

The first thing you need to do in order to earn an extra income from Craigslist is to list multiple items at one time. Most people only list items that they think will sell for a huge amount and the problem with this thinking is you won’t have as many of those items laying around your house and not everyone will want to buy something if the price is more than $20. My suggestion is to keep whatever you are selling to a price limit of $20.

Create good titles

If you have every clicked on something just to see what it was then the title was not descriptive enough. What many people don’t understand about Craigslist is people will use the search box about 40% of the time so if you want to sell an ”Iphone” for example then you need to have that in the title.

Another thing you need to do in order to create good titles is be as descriptive as possible. Make sure that you don’t throw in anything that doesn’t need to be in the title such as words like cheap and affordable.

Competitive prices

I know you understand how important the price is and that is why you need to have competitive prices. Most people think they have to be the lowest price on Craigslist but that isn’t always the case. Although many people will buy a cheaper item rather than the best item more and more people are figuring out that they need to look for the best all around item rather than just the one with the lowest price. Whatever you are listing you need to make sure that you are within a few dollars of other products listed in your area that are similar.

Clear pictures

The last thing you need in order to earn extra money from Craigslist is to make sure you are always taking clear pictures. People like to see what they might be buying prior to even calling or emailing you. Just because you say you will send pictures doesn’t mean anything to potential buyers. People like to know that you took the time to list your item and they don’t want to wait for you to send a picture, by that time they could have already found a different item to buy and you are now out of luck. Just remember that if you want to make money quickly from Craigslist then you need to take all these tips into consideration.
