CraigsList Cleverness 1.5
Ok so if you can’t make a few hundred a day with this even being mentally challenged, good luck.
This was hinted to in the original Craigslist Cleverness but virtually everyone completely passed over it for some reason. I’m going to lay it out perfectly right in front of your eyes so those of you needing a no cost income stream can take advantage.
Anyway we all know there’s no shortage of ways to pimp the “resumes” section on CL so here’s one I’ve been using for over a year to get in between $400 and 700 a day step by step.
As I’ve mentioned before, there are all kinds of job sites on networks like CJ that pay per resume upload to their site ranging from $1 to $7 depending on how specialized the lead is.
So there are two ways to do this:
1. The resumes section, aka harvesting and emailing.
2. The jobs section. If you’ve followed things I’ve said thus far you know that issues posting never affect me because I just cough up the cash. Generally you’re looking at $25, so all an enterprising person needs to do is figure out how to make over $25 per paid post and we have what I like to call “Profit”.
First thing you’ll need is a certain type of generic site with a decent URL.
You can see one of my sites at GetPlaced.org
The template used for this site will be available in the member downloads section shortly only because I know people will ask.
I know the following statement won’t affect most of you doing it anyway, but if you’re going to be a retard and just copy everything I’ve done here, you’re all going to be advertising the same exact site and people are going to catch on to that.
Anyway as you see the site may not be a masterpiece but it’s pretty legitimate looking, also we added some touches like resources and linked the job search fields to a beyond.com job API that you can get for free.
Coincidentally, Beyond.com is one of the main sites I’ve used this exploit on in the past, so not only have they given me thousands in commissions, they were kind enough to make my site look even more legit with their free job board application.
If you go to http://www.getplaced.org/getplaced.html you can see the signup form. This is the link that would be referenced in the CL posts for people to fill out their info.
When the potential applicant fills out that form they are sent into my autoresponder at iContact and are sent back the following message:
Hi [fname],
Thank you for your interest in our available positions.
Get Placed Inc uses Beyond Jobs to manage our resume applicants. If you are a current user at Beyond please forward the link to your resume immediately to jobs@getplaced.org with your full name in the subject line.
If you are not a current user at Beyond, account creation is free and will take less than three minutes to upload your resume.
Please allow 3-5 business days for a response before inquiring about status as we do receive a large amount of resumes when hiring for multiple positions.
We thank you sincerely for your interest in joining our team, and as always, if you have any questions you may contact our human resources staff via email at jobs@getplaced.org. Human resources does not have an extension nor accept calls through our toll free number, we ask that you keep all initial correspondence through email until otherwise directed by one of our staff.
We look forward to speaking with you.

Done deal.
The conversion rate is so high on that I often need to mix in traffic to dilute it.
Is it really blackhat?
Yes and no.
Would the networks and merchants like it as a strategy? Probably not
BUT
Why is it I’ve never not received a payment so far?
Because the people I send are actually using the job boards of these sites which is exactly what the companies want.
What do they need?
A FUCKING JOB
Of course they are going to look around when they never get hired by you, it’s a new resource for them.
This is what I like to call the best of both worlds.
Blackhat marketing to deliver quality leads the merchant easily while getting paid like a lotto winner.
As far as the harvesting and mailing option, that’s the quickest way to scale up. Our lead harvester and mailer has passed the beta stage with testers and will debut here shortly. That will be a great way to maximize this to its fullest potential but is not necessary for you to make at least a few hundred a day.
Again, DO NOT be afraid to pay for posting. All you need to do is make sure you are posting in high traffic cities with strong ads, which as I said in CLC 1, you can snag right from other job sites like Monster.
Another great part of pay for post:
9 times out of 10 if the ad gets flagged I can get it right back up by contacting Craigslist support. If your ad appears legit and you paid for it, they put it back up.
While I’m not going to show you my other landers like Get Placed not only because of copy cats, but haters who will try and get my publisher accounts killed, I know, so sad isn’t it? What I will do is tell you how I’ve structured those pages to convert even better which is hard to do since this template does so well.
I’ll sum it up in one word “Geo-Targeting” actually that’s really two words but whatever. If you target your page to the area you are posting in, you will receive even bigger results and a far less chance of being flagged.
Throw away forwarding numbers are so cheap these days I recommend buying them for each metro area you post in so the area code matches. Have it forward to an evoice professional main menu with the “Thank you for calling Get Placed Inc, blah blah blah” and you’ll notice higher conversions.
