This post is awesome, as is the idea of using Craiglist to become an entrepreneur. I’ll be downloading the MP3 to take with me in my car because there’s way too much for just one listen.
Making money on Craigslist: Yes it does take hustle, but as I tell folks on my blog, it ONLY takes two other things to be in business:
1) access to a thing (or thingS) of value and
2) a way to communicate to people that value that thing.
And Craigslist can provide you with both.
Genius..!
Now after having a single TRANSACTION… you find out how to lather, rinse repeat… and now you have a bona fide business.
