Suzanne Falter-Barnes wrote a great post on using [tag]Craigslist.org[/tag] to sell your event, and it’s inspiring. Oftentimes, you’ll find [tag]B2B advertising[/tag] of events on online forums such as Ryze and through Yahoo Groups, but it’s not so often that you see (worthwhile) B2C counterparts in [tag]social networking[/tag] groups.

Basically, Craig’s List is a web of 191 websites all over the world with specific geographic locations - the hub is the San Francisco Bay Area. And on each of these sites are listed classified ads and postings for all kinds of things. It’s a great place to put your resume, sell your junk, or … find a cool teleclass or workshop.

Why does this work? Because www.craigslist.org gets a whopping 3 BILLION page views per year - more than 1.9 million unique visitors per month. That’s why!

So I’m trying an experiment. My advisor says the Community Section is the really hot place to post your listing. So I popped my upcoming Get Known Now Blast Off program that begins April 20 in there.

I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Link
