Craigslist will only let you post approximately every 2-3 days. They won't let you post the same one everyday, they'll let you know immediately if you posting to close together.

As for vflyers free version, you can post up to 5 flyers, mine are not linking to one though. I did have one that I had to redo 3 times before it would post the description in HTML, probably lost some coding somewhere. It works now.

I just upgraded my vflyers to pay version so that I could have more that 5 flyers.

I post to craigslist every Saturday morning to catch the buyer's that are planning their day of driving by houses. Never Friday night, it's old news on craigslist by then.

I'm up early so it's coffee and posting time on Saturday mornings.

you can post the same thing indefinatley if you reword it.

i only put some pics of the house, and the neighborhood plus zipcode. i give my 800 number to them. that captures the lead, and gives the customer all of the information that they want to know.

I've posted on craigslist and also included an open house. I think I've had one call from it but will continute to post. It doesn't take much time and it is free.

We did buy a travel trailer over it and mom my bought a car. So people are out there!

I have all mine on there, like others say it's free advertising. I did get a potential buyer, took him out but his credit was not good. I have him on my mailing list for a future deal. I also received a call for one of my referral properties, but no deal yet. I also post thru postlets.

Craigs for me has been a mixed barrel, I do however put EVERY listing I have on it. Postlets is GREAT FOR CL! As they make very good looking flyers and you can paste the HTML on the website.

I had a open house on one of my listings and put an Ad on CL for it, had 5 couples show up from the CL ad , got several leads, ect.

It's even better to use more than just one portal.
Especially when all listings are free and can bring you sales or whatever you need.
The more offers you see the more opportunities you have \:\) and therefore you are the one to choose the best possible options for yourself.
Try for example
http://www.fusedworld.com
and
http://www.gumtree.com

Both free \:\)

I post everything I have on Craigslist and wouldn't waist my time if I didn't get any results from it. I also subscribe to Point2agent a website that makes posting to Craigslist and Backpage.com very easy.

Great idea to post in sets! Like a virtual buyer's tour, and you can mix things up so you can post the ad more frequently. Where I am, using the Boston craigslist, I'm not allowed to post the same property more than once a week (flagged by address, I think).

Coincidentally, after my last post I just had a buyer call regarding a listing I posted on craigslist for an REO. He turned out to be an investor- someone who I would like to put on my "list".
Must be "The Secret" at work- think I'll go post on a thread about buyers looking for a buyer's agent for properties <$1,000,000!

Had a showing this past Friday from a Craigslist post - and another one scheduled for next Sunday (out of town buyer).

House is 400+ - which is more than double that county's average home price.
