JPG or similar photo/pic to upload to your Flickr account
The website you want to promote.
Craigslist and Backpage are very similar in the way you post an ad. Both allow up to 4 images to be uploaded onto their site. However, you cannot have them link to anything. So we turn to a free photo sharing site like Yahoo’s Flickr.
Flickr allows you to upload up to 200 images ~~ per yahoo email account ~~ which seriously people, really should be more than enough.
The problem we run into with using a Flickr hosted image is that by default, when you grab the embed code to put it into your ad, it links to the Flickr account it’s tied to. Not very helpful for driving traffic to your website.
What you need to do is grab the ‘embed it’ code on Flickr for the image you’re using.
Then post it into the description box of the craigslist or backpage ad.
Next you want to delete all the junk in the anchor tag <a href=”http…..”>
and replace it with <a href=”http://www.YourWebSiteLink.com”>
be sure to not leave off closing ” ” marks or else the link won’t work right.
(CHECK your CODE!) That’s where people usually run into trouble – they accidentally delete a closing tag or ” ” or something easy to miss and wonder why it doesn’t work.
That’s pretty much it on using Flickr with Craigslist and Backpage to drive traffic to your website.
When it comes down to defining internet marketing I don’t distinguish between traditional and internet marketing. To me, it’s simply all marketing. Everything has to be incorporated market a brand. There are no short-cuts.
Good point Jeff – i agree – it’s all marketing – just different styles, niches, tools – the internet is simply a giant lever (lever-age) that helps you reach people who you’d probably never reach in a lifetime using any other method.
And more than marketing, whether it’s network marketing, affiliate marketing or attraction marketing, it’s also SALES… oops! did I just say a dirty word?
No… heck everybody is a salesman – just some are better at selling themselves than others.
I always enjoy reading intelligent articles by an author who is definately up to snuff on their chosen subject. I’ll be watching this post with much interest. Keep up the good work, see you next time
What makes an article marketing campaign profitable is market reach. Maximize th use of all web syndication opportunities available and have your ideas spread.
