He is a wise and wealthy Craigslist wizard that has spent the past five years honing his craft on one of the world\u2019s largest buying and selling platforms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ryan originally set out to be a contractor, but after getting his license he realized the passion just wasn\u2019t there. Unfortunately, he was $25,000 in debt and had a family of seven to support\u2026 so he had to figure out a way to make some dough quickly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After talking with a few of his friends, he decided he was going to go all in on Craigslist and see if he couldn\u2019t make a living by buying and selling goods on the platform.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Today, Ryan makes well over 6-figures by selling appliances like washers, dryers, ovens, and refrigerators on Craigslist. He\u2019s doing pretty well considering the fact that he recently moved his entire family to Hawaii.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can read more about his story and how he teaches people to make a living outside the box on his blog ReCraigslist.

Here are 5 tips to help you better sell on Craigslist:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>Take clear crisp photos.<\/strong> Shoppers are extremely visual, and if they are spending money on something they can\u2019t touch and feel, they expect to be able to get a good look at the product, at the very least. Where a lot of Craigslist sellers go wrong is that they don\u2019t provide high-quality images for their customers. Make sure the pictures you take of the items you sell look professional. That means no blurriness, no dirty laundry in the background and no nasty looking surfaces underneath the item you are taking a picture of. Turn the lights on to get nice lighting, clean up the item before posting it, and take a picture of the product on a pretty hardwood surface.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Write simple descriptions.<\/strong> Your product description should be easy enough for a 7th grader to understand. Don\u2019t be fancy, just get what you are trying to say across to the customer in as few of words as possible. Also, this goes without saying, but make sure you don\u2019t have a bunch of typos in your ad!<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Write captivating titles.<\/strong> With that said, if you are going to get descriptive, the title is where it should be. Instead of writing, \u201cSamsung T.V.\u201d\u2026 you should be writing, \u201cAwesome 42 inch Samsung LED TV\u201d. As a customer, which are you more likely to click on?<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Consider batching similar items.<\/strong> Let\u2019s hypothetically say you are selling a dozen or so tools. Instead of listing each tool individually, batch them together in one ad for a bulk price. Someone who is looking for a hammer probably wouldn\u2019t mind buying a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. It will allow you to sell your items more efficiently while making your customers feel like they are getting a great deal.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Set a deadline on your products.<\/strong> You need to be creating a sense of urgency in the buyers who are thinking about purchasing your product. That means don\u2019t post an advertisement for an entire month \u2014 post it for 3-6 days. Make the people looking at it feel like they have to make a decision quickly before time runs out.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_sell_on_Craigslist_Safely\"><\/span>How to sell on Craigslist Safely<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For the most part, Craiglist is an extremely safe site and community\u2026 but this doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t room to be careful. Before letting you run off and make hundreds harnessing the power of this new knowledge, we want to give you just a few safety tips. Here is how to sell on Craigslist safely:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Always meet in a public.<\/strong> Meet at a Starbucks, inside a Target or in the parking lot of a public bank. Just make sure you are meeting at a place where there are a lot of people.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Your house is off limits.<\/strong> Never under any circumstance invite someone to your home or share your address with them.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Use your spidey-senses.<\/strong> If something feels a little off about a buyer, just leave. There is no reason to put yourself in an uncomfortable situation. At the end of the day, it\u2019s only money.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Pack a cellphone or a friend.<\/strong> At the very least, you should bring along a cellphone with a good charge. And if you have a muscular friend bring him or her too.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Be cautious with high priced items.<\/strong> People are more willing to commit a crime over a $500 iPhone than say a pair of socks (granted we don\u2019t know why anyone would buy socks on Craigslist). Anyways, be extra careful if you are selling high-priced items.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Few_Final_Thoughts_on_How_to_Sell_on_Craigslist\"><\/span>A Few Final Thoughts on How to Sell on Craigslist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You now have everything you need to become a Craigslist tycoon.
