Great Black Hat Craigslist CPA Technique

This is the simplest CPA technique that I will be covering. It works well because people get hooked on the idea of getting something that they want for a good deal, or free, and then they're willing to put in a little work since they've already begun to fantasize about it. This is a black hat method. This method also has the potential for tons of unique spins and twists as you see fit, just use your imagination a little.

The first thing to do is to sign up with a CPA program; some good ones include Hydra Network, CPALead, Linkshare, Sharesale and Affiliateer. There are literally hundreds of paying CPA networks out there just pick one and get signed up.

Now you want to find a good offer, I will run you through two sample offers so that you understand the basic idea, you can then easily adapt this method to ANY simple e-mail or zip code submit offer (which is a CPA offer that pays you when someone enters their e-mail or zip code, they don't even need to spend any money!).

The first, and probably easiest, is the washer and drier method. This is pretty popular but was the first one that I got started with. Most CPA networks have an offer for a 'free washer and drier' and you will be paid $1 when a person fills out the form with their e-mail, known as an e-mail submit. Once you locate one of these bad boys all you need to do is go sign up for a free e-mail account and then head to Craigslist. Make a post in the free stuff section saying that you are getting rid of your washer and drier. Here is an example post:

"I just bought a new washer and drier combo unit and am looking to get the old one out of the house as soon as possible, it is taking up a lot of room. Only condition is that you must pick up since it is free. Good condition, works great. Please e-mail me at youremail@gmail.com if you are interested"

Always remember to add a little back story like this, you will get a lot more responses. Also include a picture, this helps a lot. Now what you do is post an ad like this in a couple of different cities, you want more than one city so all the traffic isn't coming from the same place - this may look suspicious to your CPA network.

After a couple of hours go check your e-mail and send out an e-mail to everyone that responded saying something to the affect of:

"Hi, sorry I already got rid of the washer and drier, there was a lot of people that contacted me. I found a good deal you might be interested in though, this is how I got my new unit in the first place. Head on over to yourofferURL.com and fill out that form, they're giving away free washers and driers. Hope it helps you out, and sorry I already got rid of it.

Thanks,

You will be surprised at just how many people sign up and fill out that offer, giving you $1 each! You can easily expect to get 50-80 people responding to each ad you post a day and a good 25% of them completing the offer. So if you do 3-4 posts a day that's a full time income for an hour or so of work!

With this same method another favorite of mine is a paid CPA offer for a credit check. Again, most networks have these offers only this time you can make up to $10 per person but your conversion rates will be lower because the person actually has to pay.

Now that you have your e-mail setup head over to Craigslist and find the housing section. You're going to be posting an ad for an apartment. Do a quick look around and see what apartments in this city are going for. Now make your ad for an apartment that sounds nicer than the average one and make it significantly cheaper. You're going to get flooded with e-mails in no time.

Once you get a bunch of responses it is time to e-mail them back. Shoot them a quick e-mail that says something such as:

"Hi,

Due to the extremely high amount of interest we are experiencing on this rental property it is necessary to narrow down the applicant pool further. Because of this we will be requiring a credit check before sending out an application. Please visit yourcreditcheckofferURL.com and complete the credit check here, then reply back with your credit report.

Thank you,

Some Realty Company Name"

This will make you some good cash as you will earn $10 for each person that fills out this offer. If you want you can then respond and make something up such as you have already selected an applicant or you can just forget about it and move on.

You can see now how this method can be applied to pretty much any CPA offer out there, just think of something that people want and offer it at an outstanding deal. Then e-mail them back and get them to do your offer. This is one of the simplest and easiest black hat methods to earn cash with Craigslist and CPA offers.
