How to Make a Poster to Insert in Craigslist

The online classifieds directory Craigslist has become immensely popular in recent years. Emulating the function of a classifieds section of a local paper but taking it to a global, universally accessible scale, the site has filled wallets, found friends and fostered relationships. Craigslist allows users to post ads without being members, so it's incredibly easy to get started. However, a successful ad on the site has to be eye-catching. After you've written a catchy, informative title and a great description, the next thing to do is attach an image to the post.

     Fill in the form that will be the text of your ad. Don't make the description too long, nor the title too obscure; you want people to know what you are offering.
