Update: The Craigslist program that we were using has some management issues (the people behind it turned out to be some real pieces of work) so we’ve nixed them and I’m working with someone to see about a potential partnership with a new software. Until then I’ve found a nifty little program that I’ve been using to renew my Craigslist postings.
It’s a cool little script that allows you to auto-renew your posts (and edit them in the process if you like). It saves you a ton of work because you can basically recycle your ads with one click. If you want to change a few words or images in the ad before you renew them, it lets you do that too (so you can reword things/reimage things and then post as new).
You can get the Craiglist script here (it’s only $20) and I will keep you updated on the new Craiglist software.

Till next time!
TONS of you loved the last Craigslist program I sent you to for your Craigslist marketing management, for not having to worry about the flagging and ghosting anymore and even for auto-creating accounts and auto-posting ads…and then they closed the program. It happens.
So I’ve been on the hunt, and testing, various other Craigslist software and I have found a new solution for you and it rocks.
It does everything you need, including:
- automatically creating accounts
- auto ad submission to multiple cites & categories as well as the ability to schedule ads
- picture, title and email rotation
- ability to create nice HTML ads and post them
- IP addy change
- see reports instantly
- and TONS more! They even have an optional CAPTCHA bypass system
This program allows you to easily manage your Craigslist marketing (and they have software for Kiji and Backpage too) and not worry about the silly flagging and ghosting because it will help you make sure your ad continues to get posted and the rotation methods help you avoid the ghosting issue.
Things you should know before using:
- it doesn’t work with Window 7 at this time (not sure if there are plans for this)
- it doesn’t work on Mac BUT you can install Parallels to run any Windows based program on a Mac
- you have to have .net framework installed and Microsoft Visual C++ (you probably do but just don’t know it but if you don’t they are VERY easy to install & free). A lot of these programs require these.
- you need Internet Explorer 7 or below. Even if you don’t use IE, you just need it installed on your computer (and you probably do because it’s on Windows computers by default) You don’t have to use IE yourself, the program just uses it
With this software you can ensure your ad stays at the top all of the time, hands-free; again you avoid stupid flagging & ghosting issues; you can post across multiple cities and categories and more. It’s well worth the one-time investment and their support is GREAT! You won’t find another program like it, believe me I’m always looking for and using various auto programs. It took me a while to find this one and I’m hooked, it’s even better than the last one because it has a few more features and offers the optional CAPTCHA bypass solution.
Enjoy!
