Domain Benefits
Helpful posting tips: The Benefits of Purchasing Domains
On occasion you will receive notification that your ad has been deleted or removed. Understand this is a normal part of the online advertising process, so do not be discouraged. This is NOT the site banning you, it is simply a result of a disgruntled responder who reports your ad and has it removed, for any number of reasons. Don't worry, keep Posting! Its all FREE, and often you'll have many responses before the ad got removed anyway! But here are some helpful hints to help prevent this from happening:
If you are having trouble with your ads being deleted, don't post more than two ads per week - Usually posting on Sunday nights and Tuesday mornings are more effective.
Do not use your replicated site (www.freedomathometeam.com/yourusername) - If you do, you will get flagged, ghosted or deleted. If you want a website on the ad, you need to get a domain name. For example, mine is www.livingwithfreedom.com (for recruiting) & www.usabenefitplans.info (for benefits). I purchased mine from GoDaddy.com. I only pay around $7 per year each for mine. The domains ending in .info do run cheaper if your looking to save even more. Also GoDaddy.com does run a sale at least once a month. Here are a few more places for great domain names:
If you choose not to get a domain name, do not leave any contact information. At the end of your ad just write "For more information and to request an interview, please respond to post." You can also put your toll free number to have them call you directly. And when you receive the email response from Craigslist, you will need to send them an email prompting them to visit your site and request an interview. See below for an email template response. This method is fine but is very time consuming. Some people find it easier to just get a domain so they don't have to do this step. This is completely up to you.
Keep your ads short and to the point.
Do not say "work from home." use the examples provided in the previous tab such as, "telecommute" or "must have home office setup"
Do not say AmeriPlan. Start postings off with "Our company is looking for....."
Another helpful hint is to save the initial email from Craigslist that confirms that your ad has been posted. Then every Sunday night, go back to it, click on the link in the email and "Renew" your ads.
How to respond to replies to your ads:
If you choose to use a domain name in your ad, you can skip this step. Using a domain will direct the leads to your FAHT site to request information. The leads will then be automatically loaded into your Focal Point system and they will begin receiving auto-responder emails and are ready to be called. This is a HUGE time saver and SO worth it!!
However, if you choose NOT to use a domain name in your ad, continue:
When someone reads and responds to your ad, an email message will be generated and sent to the email address you provided when posting the ad. Be sure to check your emails regularly, so that you can respond in a timely manner. Keep your response brief, and professional. Below is a sample response:
