You may still have people who report you to Craigslist and may still get banned or banned from your affiliate network.

I thought about doing this by turning on my autoresponder. My site is now posting on craigslist, I posted one ad the other day, so hopefully this will get me some sales.

Heaven forbid that anyone spamming ... er, excuse me, marketing on Craigslist should ever actually read their terms of service.

I would say it's time that you started building a client list so that you can sell to them over and over again.

That's probably the best thing to do.

I agree. Building an email list you can market to repeatedly is the way to go. Craigs List is tough to work with right now if you're trying to sell an affiliate product.
