How to sell your stuff with WebStarts and Craigslist

Monday, October 20th 2008, by Adam Barger

If you don't already know Craigslist is a great way for people to sell things online. Craigslist acts as a local classifieds listing. For example if someone in your area was selling a car or boat they could post it on Craigslist.org. You might be in the market to buy a car or boat and go to Craigslist and choose your local area and see those items for sale. From there it works like any other transaction. You call or email the seller to ask questions about the product, etc.

A big limitation of Craiglist is the fact they don't let you display much information about your product, particularly photos. You can only add a basic text description and a few photos of the item you're looking to sell. That's where WebStarts comes in. With WebStarts you can create free web pages that promote the products you're selling on Craigslist and simply put the link to those pages in your ads. That way potential buyers could see many photos and in depth descriptions about the products you're selling. You could even build contact pages and other ineteractive features.

So if you're looking for a way to bring in some extra cash you may not have to look further than your own house. So go ahead and find something to sell on Craiglist and create yourself a free website with WebStarts. You'll have the item sold in no time.
