Craigslist has tried their best to ban diligent posters from posting multiple times a day. They have since come out with a auto post feature which allows you to automatically repost your ads every 48 hours. When posting ads to attract cash buyers you want to make the ads very appealing and make them sound as if they are from a motivated sellers. This will help bring out the investors kind of like adding blood to the water if your luring in sharks. Then in your ad send them to your website to sign up to join your buyers list. The really cool thing is that you can do this even if you dont have properties for sale. Just post your ad but dont put an address. When someone contacts you say that property is a great deal but it sold quick and that you are an investor and have many properties like this on a regular basis and if they would like to be the first to know about them they should join your buyers list. You will want to make sure you post these ads in the houses for sale by owner category. You also can do this same thing on other online classified sites like backpage.com or ebayclassifieds.com Ninja Traffic Secret #2- Posting ads on craigslist to find motivated sellers Posting ads for motivated sellers is a little tricky. People don't search the services section as much as they used to. With the auto post feature it does make it easier to post ads over and over again.

They can be videos telling potential sellers all their options and how you can help them or they can be videos for cash buyers showcasing deals you have. You can get a free account to post them on youtube and post your videos there. Google will rank these videos as well as the sites the videos are posted on. Ninja Traffic Secret #5 - Google Maps Google makes it easy to fins businesses with their google maps feature.
