 Weekly Tip -  Craigslist.com - free classifieds...

Looking for a free place to promote a listing?   I read a blog from a realtor that said he listed listings on http://www.craigslist.com/ everyday to gain additional exposure and traffic to his site.  Why not give it a try?   If your city is not listed, just go to a nearby city and key in your city in their section as a subsection for that city.  You can do it in several cities nearby.   Here are a few categories that contain housing information for promoting listings or yourself online.

housing
apts / housing rooms / shared sublets / temporary housing wanted housing swap vacation rentals parking / storage office / commercial real estate for sale  
services
beauty computer creative erotic event financial legal lessons automotive household labor/move skill'd trade real estate sm biz ads therapeutic travel/vac write/ed/tr8
 

Since it's free, why not put on a few lstings and see what happens?  Be sure to always include a link to your website so the visitors can click to your site.  The more linking you do, the more visitors and the better page ranking you'll get to help your visibility on google, etc.   Also, you can try trulia, kijiji, gumtree, backpage, Loopnet, CCIMNet,  google and yahoo groups.   Here's a Craig's List Realtor comment...   "I've been advertising on Craigslist, and depending on the area of the listing, we get a lot of calls. Dallas is a hot area for CL too so that helps a lot. I also use backpage and postlets. I have just started using backpage, and I did receive 1 lead recently. Nothing so far with postlets.

I use Realtour.biz to create my flyers for free, but I also like the look of vFlyer and they will post it to Craigslist to you as well. The key is making your listing stand out from all the others (as always!)" 

GOOD LUCK WITH IT!!
