View Full Version : Posters still wanted

I am still looking for posters for multiple campaigns. There is only one campaign that pays small because it's a start up company that I wanted to give a break to. They only pay me .50 per live ad. I create all of the ads (image based and text based) and pay my posters half of what I am paid.

In the next few months, I will have my professional website completely built, up, and running. We will be offering Craigslist posting services, ebay posting services, BP posting services....basically posting services for all over. We will also be offering email response services. We will NOT be posting ads for people who want to spam or scam CL. Not how we do business. We basically want to take the *i*c* work away from companies so they can focus on the important things. Any of you who are having issues with ghosting now, in the future we will be providing PVAs for you to use along with purchasing phone numbers for you to use as well. We do not want your accounts to be blocked. Also, you will be posting ONLY in your state....if we ever need you to post in a different location, we will provide the PVAs for you and also the IP changer/Proxy solution so your IP shows that you are posting from that location.

I am thankful for the posters that I have. They have been great and patient, especially with the crap that CL is putting everyone through lately. There is a great opportunity here to make decent money once humps are gone over.

Email me at successfulentrep@gmail.com only if you are experienced in posting ads on CL.

Successfulentrep,

I understand your wanting posters, but this forum has had plenty of scam companies on here luring work at home workers into their ad posting positions. These companies are looking for free publicity at our expense, ruining our Craiglist reputations or the reputations we have with other companies. I was a recently victim of such a scam. The ads are spam, and those ads get ghosted or flagged. In turn, workers aren't paid for all the work they put in, if they are paid at all.

Your using PVAs just means you are trying to get over on Craigslist and its TOS, as well as possible the other websites' TOSes.

Your opportunity looks and smells like a scam to me, and I am asking the WAHMs on here to BEWARE!

I will vouch for her, she is absolutely on the up and up and I have used her services many times over. Never once have I seen a complaint about her not paying. There have been several posting jobs lately that may or may not be scams, but I can say that this one is not. If you can post an ad in your local city a couple times a week and make some change then who cares if your advertising for a company?

I read your thread about getting scammed, but your jumping the gun here there are a few companies here..one with its own folder that hire posters to advertise their services..if your not cool with it, thats ok but don't rain on someone else parade because there are people like this nice lady who make a living doing it.

I'm not trying to rain on someone's parade - I just see red flags, and I don't want anyone to experience what I did. If it is legit - fine, but I want people really pay attention as well.

I get that, but your lumping her thing into a box of scams because you had a bad experience. Just because the company you tried it for was crap doesnt mean they all are. Or that every company who pays her to do this is trying to get them to spam/scam classified sites. Some folks like myself would rather pay someone to post an ad every few days then do it myself and if she is kicking butt and getting her thing going then more power to her, i will most certainly utilize her services in the future and by doing so help her and other wahm's to make some cash

Successfulentrep,

I am very wary of your ad posting job that you posting, having been a victim of this scam. What makes your ad posting position any different from the scammers that come on here saying they need posters. From my researching, using PVAs is still violating CL's TOS. I don't have a good feeling about this, and I let my voice be know on your post here.

This was the email sent to me. I am a posting service for small companies. If I can hire people to post for me who live in those locations, then that's what I will do. FYI, PVA stands for Phone Verified Account. How is that violating CL's TOS if it's a requirement of CL themselves???

Thanks!!

To those of you interested, please feel free to email me. I market legitimate businesses, not try to spam. Do some research before you decide to private message bash.

Thanks!

Again, I am not trying to bash, or rain on anybody's parade. Again, I noticed some red flags. I'm not trying to attack you personally or anyone else personally on here, but I had concerns and I am concerned for the people on here as well.

Thanks for warning everyone. It might be even more helpful if you send the same email to everyone here posting looking for posters. Warn everyone on all of them that come through. Also, I would contact Grapevine employees or possible posters too. Might save them some trouble as well.

I'm sorry that you had issues with City Job Hunt....but that doesn't make everyone here scam artists.

Thanks....

I didn't say you were a scam artist, Successfulentrep, nor did I say that everyone here was one.

I get the feeling that you believe I am picking on you and your company, and that is not the case. I gave my 2 cents regarding the posting position you posted about, NOT OF YOU.

Again, I am not attacking you or anyone else here. This comes from a place of concern.

I can verify she is trust worthy, I have done work posting for her and wish I could again. I went on vacation and been trying to get in touch with her with no success since I've returned.

Hi there! Snakemaster, send me an email again. It might have gone to my spam box, which gets auto deleted at times.

Thanks!

The best advice I can give everyone is make sure the ad posting does not violate the TOS of another site.

Posting multiple ads on Craigslist for example, does violate the Craigslist TOS, especially if you're told you need to use multiple phone verified accounts.

If you're asked to post on sites that do allow multiple ads, then that may well be legit.
