Craigslist Blitz: Own Page One of Every Major City

Craigslist is still one of the most underpriced, underutilized sources of targeted attention online, garnering 250 million visits per month across 700+ cities.

You can leverage this ecosystem by writing compelling posts for your product or service. Then take it to the next level with automated distribution to major cities using a script or a virtual assistant (VA). It's local, gritty, and gets seen by the right people, especially for service businesses or early-stage projects.

Real world example

Airbnb piggybacked on Craigslist's housing section to seed its listings in front of millions of eyeballs, fueling its viral growth. Airbnb used Craigslist users to advertise Airbnb to other users by reverse engineering the platform. They enabled hosts to one-click post their Airbnb listing to Craigslist, up until Craigslist shut the feature down. By the time Craigslist reacted, Airbnb had already hit critical mass.
