- Spelling – check it twice.
- Check your spelling twice, especially in the title.
- Did I mention spelling?
I came across this posting tonight and had to share it. If you are going to post an obnoxious Craigslist title (that gets more eyes), make sure you are spelling all your words correctly – or it makes you look like a MORON (and people will be afraid of you): (what is “MOST SELL” anyway? – Oh, MUST SELL) Now I am not perfect and I have got my spelling wrong at times, but never on Craigslist, and especially on my titles. Double check them titles and you will have more people giving your listing a serious look.

How Not To Sell on Craigslist
Over the weekend I purchased some patio furniture from Craigslist. It was a nice 7-piece set that sells in the stores for over 1k (I paid 1/4 of that). I found a couple that was moving because of a job, and they were getting rid of a lot of their stuff – patio furniture included (no pool where they were going I guess). The set was not even a year old and is in perfect condition. This is one of the many reasons I love Craigslist, but at the same time while looking through ALL of the ads I was also reminded me of reasons why I hate it sometimes. This experience is the reasons for this post – I want to teach you how to never sell anything on Craigslist. To do that, I will give some specific examples of what not to do. Hopefully, we can get a little reverse psychology going here and by learning what not to do on Craigslist you will actually pick up on everything you NEED to do to get your products to sell.
