How to set up an ad on Craigslist for near instant mlm leads, I want to introduce you to this amazing blog post & invite you to take a ride with The Live Networker to learn some of my history of what brought me to Craigslist Ads.
About 9 months ago, I came across Craigslist & learned that it’s the #1 place people in the USA (although Craigslist exists in other parts of the world) that people go looking for a plan B. I thought, what if I could put my message in front of a thousands of people at once on Craigslist.
Because of taking that journey we’ve signed up eye surgeons, real estate agents, life insurance agents and a lot of amazing people. Like I stated above, Craigslist is the #1 place people resort to when they’re looking for a plan B! Never forget that!

What Is Craigslist
You might be asking, what is Craigslist? Maybe you haven’t really heard about it or have some kind of scam thought roll through your mind. If you like to make money in network marketing, you might want to reconsider.

Craigslist is the largest advertising network in the USA. It’s an advertising network that’s free for the user where you can go advertise jobs, cars for sales, personals & everything else you can imagine.
The interesting thing for you is, it’s the go-to for people that are looking for a plan B in life. (AKA – your perfect network marketing prospect)
What fired me up is, you have the ability to put your message in front of thousands and thousands of people across the country that are looking for a plan B for their life. To me, it sounds like the perfect prospect for your network marketing company.
Why Using Craigslist Ads Is Smart For Your Network Marketing Business
We’ve already determined together that the perfect person you’re looking for is using Craigslist to find something else to do in their life.
Remember, you’re not looking for someone who is looking to replace their income in most cases. You’re looking to an intelligent, energetic person who has a career but they’re just not satisfied with their life.
Those people are hitting up Craigslist every day and if you understand how to put a system together to get your message (Craigslist Ad) in front of them, you can take advantage of this monster opportunity.
If you think about it, broke people (I was one) aren’t who you’re looking for. Great MLM prospects come from people who have their life together. They’re just looking for something else in their life.
Who should use Craigslist Ads For Business
I have The Recruit-A-thon which is very good for social media. But if you have very limited time, if you are already in a career or a job, if you’re running a business, if you’re very busy but you still want to succeed in network marketing…
Well then, Craigslist ads are for you. Once a month, collect your leads from your system, call them with a live dialer & enroll them into your team. By the way, I just put a massive blog post up last week about Citalink and how to use it to increase your productivity 300%. See the post below!
HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN NETWORK MARKETING (THE CITALINK LIVE CALLER)
To finalize, if you have very limited time to gather leads & create relationships on social media, you may consider Craigslist & what it can do for your business. Simply put, you put an ad, they answer the ad, you call them, you create a connection & you close them.
One of my clients, Ron Urban (connect with him here) is a very successful businessman with a busy flooring company. A few months back we met and his challenge is time. He has created over a million in his lifetime as a network marketer, but his life is busy.
He doesn’t have time to build relationships on social media. I remember the conversations quite well. He was looking for a way to build his network marketing business but it’s just so dang hard with little to no time as a business owner.
A lot like Jodie (sells some kick butt coffee that I drink) Baedeker. She, on the other hand, wants to take her business from where she is and 10X her income. With Craigslist and her first 70 leads, 3 of them are Rock Stars. She hasn’t even called all of them yet!
If you’re busy or just want to explode your MLM business – Craigslist is waiting for you!
What do Craigslist Leads Cost
If you follow my exact system with a capture page and a funnel. By the way, I build this entire system for you if you wish.

If you follow my exact system, you will average anywhere from 50 cents to 75 cents per lead. Yes, they’re all going to cost money. That’s what you sacrifice for not costing you hardly any time to create your product which is people in network marketing.
I always place them in the sales section under the “jobs” category. When you think of how to place an ad on Craigslist for network marketing at least, you need to think about the strategy, not just the technical part.
How many leads do you want? From that question, we can determine how many ads you should place. Just take 65 cents and multiply the number of leads you want in a month. That’s how many Craigslist ads you need to be running at any given time.
Are MLM Leads From Craigslist Good Quality
Many people tell me Craigslist leads aren’t good. I just laugh because we’ve enrolled life insurance agents, business professionals & even an eye surgeon using Craigslist ads.
On Craigslist, you’re looking for the professionals looking for a plan B, not the broke guy looking for a job. Make sure you understand where you’re coming from. Understand where you lead is when you call them for the 1st time.
Here is how the stats break down with a typical calling session. About 30 percent will be tire kickers. They will be out of work, skeptical & not the right fit. About 5 – 10 percent will be professionals looking to create success in their lives and make a change. Keep your eye on the ball.
Remember, this blog post about how to place an ad on Craigslist for network marketers isn’t about the 30%. It’s about the 5% of the people who are rockstars!
See Jodies story from above. She’s absolutely CRUSHED it. 70 leads and 3 sample packs out! Almost instantaneously. That’s craziness!
What To Say To Close Craigslist Leads
Instead of trying to type the words you need to say, I cut a really cool audio for you. Listen to it over and over and you’ll be happy you did!
I was going to go into the technical piece of how to post Craigslist ads to get leads in your business but I have already put together a blog post full of pictures showing you exactly how to do that.
HOW TO CREATE AN AUTOMATED RECRUITING SYSTEM
3 Rules Of Engagement For Craigslist Ads
I want you to understand that is may be the most important part of this entire blog post. Why? Because if you don’t follow these rules about posting ads on Craigslist you will be blocked.
What does getting blocked really mean? They block your credit card, so you can’t buy ads & you simply can’t us that “account” anymore. It’s not fun. Since following these 3 rules, I’ve never had a problem.
- Run your ads for 30 days
- Only have 3 ads per account
- Don’t mention your company or any network marketing lingo
Simple. Before you get too far, remember you’ll get 75% of your leads in the first few days of starting your Craigslist ads. This is a fact.
You’ll want to hold off and just start a new ad but don’t. Craigslist wants to see consistency. When you place the ad, it’ll automatically run for 30 days. Just let it run. Don’t touch it.
If you want more mlm leads, just start a new account. It’s that simple. You can have as many accounts (email addresses) as you possibly want. Don’t fall into the trap.
Just have 3 different ads or locations on that account running at one time. At the end of that 30 days, just re up the ad. Don’t worry, Craigslist will help you do just that!
Automating Craigslist Ads The Effective Way
Most people don’t understand that just an ad isn’t enough. You’ve got to have a system to have it work efficiently. A good friend of mine & client, Myrna Buckles had never generated a lead EVER. Frankly, she’d struggled mightily in network marketing over her years.
When she got involved with her company, she purchased a funnel from me. I set her up a system (like I could do for you too). She had never really generated a lead and in her first month over 1,000 came in. Yes, you heard me correctly, 1,000 leads.
Her team brought in 90 people as a direct result of the confidence it gave her to have leads to call and people to follow up with. She’s graced the stage and now is headed to the next level in her company.
What does a system like this made up of?
- A good ad
- Capture page (they click on it from the ad)
- Your video (they see it before you talk with them)
- An appointment button (yes, make them schedule an appointment with you)
- Automated Follow-Up Series (takes your leads back to your video) on automation
- An automated calling system (you’ll have lots of leads)
- Consistency & coachability
