Drop.io enables you to create simple private exchange points called &#8220;drops.&#8221; The service has no email signup and no &#8220;accounts.&#8221; Each drop is private, and only as accessible as you choose to deliberately make it. Create multiple drops, add any type of media, and share or subscribe as you want.</p>
<p><img src="http://file.io/images/logo_small.png?1197950352" alt="fil sharing" /><br />
<a href="http://file.io/" target="_blank">file.io</a><br />
You can get a free, private folder for your MP3s, videos, and photos. You can share files with your friends. It&#8217;s easy and fun:)</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pipebytes.com/images/pipebytes.gif" alt="files sharing" /><br />
<a href="http://www.pipebytes.com" target="_blank">PipeBytes</a><br />
This is a simple service which allows you to send a file to a friend.The unique benefits of this service are:</p>
<li>No software to install.</li>
<li>All you need is web browser.</li>
<li>Send files of any size!</li>
<li>Your buddy could start downloading file as you upload it.<br />
(That makes the file exchange process up to two times<br />
faster than other web-based file exhange services!)</li>
<li>It&#8217;s private unlike BitTorrent or other P2P techologies.<br />
The file is not shared on Internet - it is sent directly<br />
to your recipient.</li>
<li>You can watch YouTube videos while file is being transferred!</li>
<p><a href="http://www.senduit.com/" target="_blank">SendUIt.com</a><br />
This is a simple file sharing service. While there are many, many such sites, SendUIt stands apart in its utter simplicity. There are literally about three steps to the process and no registration is required. To use it, upload your file and set the expiration time/date (limits range from 30 minutes to one week); a private link will be generated which can then share via email. There is a 100mb file limit but the site costs nothing to use. While there isn’t much else you can do with the site, it is quick to generate links. It’s worth a try, especially if you need to send something quick and don’t want to bother with registration, etc.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve found it on http://99designs.com/contests/5806/brief</p>
<p>Design Brief: Craigslist Template<br />
One-page template design</p>
<p>I need a one page template for use on Craigslist.</p>
<p>Description:<br />
The template needs to be design to show information similar to http://modesto.craigslist.org/apa/599002567.html but &#8220;cooler.&#8221; Just one page needed. This is Craigslist though, so it can&#8217;t be CSS. The design needs to use html tables, but css for font info and image size (not my idea, just how craigslist works). The design doesn&#8217;t need to look like the example, just needs to contain the kind of info. It is for a one-page property listing, kind of like a one-page web brochure of a home for sale.</p>
<p>    * Accepted File Formats: Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff); coded page and psd file needed.</p>
<p>You can go to http://99designs.com/contests/5806 and see Craigslist templates supplied by bidders</p>
<p>I like the most an entry by <a href="http://99designs.com/users/241609" target="_blank">kis nuci</a></p>
<p><img src="http://free-web-tools.org/images/craigslist/craigs-template-bid.jpg" alt="craigslist template bif" /></p>
<p> if you want to have your own custom made Craigslist template you can go for freelancers. it worth it.  Or you can use my templates for free but you need to understand HTML and know how to copy and paste.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Craigslist is a wonderful community of people who want to place their ads and share information. Craigslist was born from an idea to help people to communicate with people not to help software to generate spam. </p>
<p>This is what I found on one of freelancers boards:<br />
&#8220;I need someone to post varying ads to craiglist marketing my services. Payment negotiable. You need to know how to variate ads so that the craiglist spam control does not flag them right away. I will provide&#8230; (Budget: $30-100, Jobs: SEO)&#8221;</p>
<p>And to my surprise somebody bid on this project. </p>
<p>I want to cry - Please do not spam Craigslist. I think that my cry for those who benefit from software-generated Craigslist spam will not change their attitude. So please mark such ads as spam, do not simply pass by, mark them&#8230;. </p>
<p><strong>Advice for spammers how to avoid Craigslist “ghosting” your ads. The better advice &#8212; DO NOT SPAM</strong><br />
<i style="font-size:90%;">I found it on <a href="http://epicycledigital.com/InternetTraining/ian-hollander/craigslist-is-ghosting-my-ads-sensational-strategies-for-avoiding-the-ghost" target="_blank">http://epicycledigital.com</a></i></p>
<p>Craigslist has come up with a somewhat unique and annoyingly inconsistent way of reigning in the rotten apples (means spammers). It is called “ghosting”, and is the process by which your (spammer) ad appears to have been accepted by the system, looks “live” within your admin account..yet, is nowhere to be found in the real time results. Can be a very frustrating experience without any question, and has led many craigslist posting fanatics to jump ship and find greener pastures to pick.</p>
<p>Here is a very easy way for you to avoid the “ghost” if you are getting it..:-) Now, I’ve written extensively about this in other places, and do only have limited space here, but the simplest thing you can do if your ads are being ghosted is this: Simply host your images somewhere that you see lots of other ads using for theirs. Not your own domain obviously…a public image repository is good for example. Link your CL ad to that image rather than pointing to your own domain. Then..using your image editing software, simply overlay your URL text into the image itself, thus negating the need for a live link, one of the prime triggers for Casper and friends to come by and say Boo!</p>
<p>Then…and this is a very well tested strategy by both myself and others, simply use a dial up connection when making your posts. One very well accepted cause of ghosting is multiple posts from the same IP - and simply logging in with a dial up modem, off and then on again for each set of new posts is a very simple, and effective way of negating that issue for me, and many others as well.</p>
<p>Of course there is more - but if you do the above, you WILL see your ghosting rates dropping fast, meaning more live ads, and more commissions for you! Good luck..:-)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A free and effective way to market your at home business (or anything for that matter) is by using Craig&#8217;s List.</p>
<p>There are a few stipulations that you should read about before you begin, such as no advertising any MLM opportunities. If you are looking for traffic for your blog, website or product information page make a well written ad with the link embedded in the text. Time and time again, you will recive traffic to your site and eventually new members and sales for your little bit of consistant work.</p>
<p>Make two or three ads and post them in multiple cities and triple your leverage. You can not post the same ad in multiple cities on the same day. You must wait 4 days before you can repost the samde ad, so having several similar ads will allow you to keep getting your name out there.</p>

<p>Look inside &#8220;hottie creators&#8221; tips to find answer. This is what they recommend:</p>
<p>There are quite a few different ways to make money using Craigslist and some of them are more legitimate and honest than others. Many people have their own techniques depending on how they’re trying to make money using Craigslist and as such, they will experience varying degrees of success. Here’s one quick idea out of many you could use with Craigslist:</p>
<p>Post enticing ads as a woman and then direc the responses to a dating site. Here’s quickly how it works:</p>
<p>1. Post an ad in the dating section (woman seeking men) as a hot single woman (a good picture would help).<br />
2. Set up an autoresponder that responds to any enquires by saying that you’ve gotten so many replies that you’ve set up a profile at a certain website to meet the serious prospects.<br />
3. You then include your affiliate link to this dating site and make your money by referring these new clients.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free classified advertisements (with jobs, internships, housing, personals, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, resume, and pets categories) and forums on various topics.</p>
<p>The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. Having observed people helping one another in a friendly, social and trusting community way on the Internet, the WELL, and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events.</p>
<p>The first postings debuted in early 1995. The initial technology encountered some limits, so by June of 1995 majordomo had been installed and the mailing list &#8220;craigslist&#8221; resumed operations. Most of the early postings were submitted by Newmark and were notices of social events of interest to software and Internet developers living and working in San Francisco.</p>
<p>Soon, word of mouth led to rapid growth. Both subscribers and the number of postings grew rapidly. There was no moderation, so Newmark was surprised when people started using the mailing list for non-event postings.[citation needed] People trying to fill technical positions found that the list was a good way to reach people with the skills they were looking for. This led to the addition of a category for &#8220;jobs&#8221;. User demand for more categories caused the list of categories to grow. About this time, community members started asking for a web interface. Newmark enlisted the help of volunteers and contractors to create a website user interface for the different mailing list categories.[citation needed] Needing a domain name for this, Craig registered &#8220;craigslist.org&#8221; (and later, &#8220;craigslist.com&#8221;, to prevent the name &#8220;craigslist&#8221; from being used for other purposes).[citation needed] About this time, Newmark realized that the site was growing so fast that he could stop working as a software engineer and work full time running craigslist.</p>
<p>By April 2000, there were nine employees working out of Newmark&#8217;s apartment on Cole Street in San Francisco. After incorporation as a private for-profit company in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000, four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003. As of September 2007, Craigslist had established itself in approximately 450 cities in 50 countries.</p>
<p>As of 2007, Craigslist operates with a staff of 24 people. Its sole source of revenue is paid job ads in select cities ($75 per ad for the San Francisco Bay Area; $25 per ad for New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., Chicago and recently Portland, Oregon) and paid broker apartment listings in New York City ($10 per ad).</p>
<p>As of today Craigslist.org  </p>
<ul>
<li>is the 9th most visited website in the United States.</li>
<li>is in 450 cities worldwide.</li>
<li>receives over 7 billion page views per month… which translates into more than 20 million visitors a month.</li>
</ul>
<p>With over thirty million new classified advertisements each month, Craigslist is the leading classifieds service in any medium. The site receives over two million new job listings each month, making it one of the top job boards in the world. The classified advertisements range from traditional buy/sell ads and community announcements, to personal ads and even erotic services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I believe one of the most powerful marketing tools for any small real estate investor is Craigslist. It is useful for both attracting deals, finding sellers and finding buyers, and best part is it costs absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>One tip I want to share to making your ads effective is to not do what everyone else is doing on it. I see lots of ads on there, often redundant, that the say the same thing or try to bait people to the same website with various properties or the promise of information. To a viewer, this looks like spam and is a turn off. Do the opposite of what these people are doing. Do not post a zillion ads a day with the same stuff.</p>
<p>The trick is to make your craiglist ads look unique. Don&#8217;t be vague. Put as much info as you can up front in the ad. Do not make it look a robotic or mechanical type spammy looking ad, make it seem like you a genuine individual from their community.</p>
<p>For instance, this is ad that sucks:<br />
&#8220;Are you going into foreclosure?! I can help you no matter what! Call me right now at XXXXX or visit my website at XXXX&#8221;</p>
<p>This is a better ad:<br />
&#8220;Are you facing foreclosure? Need to get out of your house but can&#8217;t? I have lived in X town for X years and know how to help. I have a variety of options and strategies to solve nearly any situation you might be facing, and I don&#8217;t charge you fee a for providing you with those solutions.</p>
<p>Below are some of the most typical situations and the ways I can solve them:</p>
<p>(List different situations and the solution in plain english. You don&#8217;t have to be super specific, save that for later)</p>
<p>This same solutions have worked for countless other people in your situation, and I am confident we can make it work you for also.</p>
<p>Contact Name<br />
Email Address<br />
Website</p>
<p>The idea is to give people as much info as possible so they feel comfortable you know what you are talking about and they aren&#8217;t wasting their time with you.</p>
