Did you know that you can find a house to buy or rent on Craigslist? Interact with people all over the world in a variety of forums? Barter your services for something else? That's just the tip of the Craigslist iceberg. Here's a few more things you can do with Craigslist.
Craigslist Forums
With forums for housing to self-employment, you're sure to find a
Craigslist Forum that helps you in some way.
Post Free Classified Ads
You can post
free classified ads for pretty much anything at Craigslist. I've sold a truck and gotten rid of a very heavy hide-a-bed this way.
Find a Job on Craigslist
There are all sorts of
interesting jobs on Craigslist. Just find your city, look under Jobs, then look under your job category. Non-profit, systems, government, writing, etc. jobs are all represented here.
Craigslist Housing
Use Craigslist to find your next
home, from apartment living to residential listings to vacation rentals. I recently found a beach rental here for less than it costs our family to go camping!
Subscribe to RSS Feeds
If you are looking for something specific, say a Queen Anne brocaded couch circa 1965, you can set up a Craigslist alert to be notified when something new pops up that fits your criteria. This is how you do it:
- Go to your city's Craigslist, and click on "Furniture."
- Then enter your search term(s), what you're willing to pay, and whether you're looking for something from a furniture dealer or private seller.
- When you're done, click "Enter."
- Scroll to the bottom of the page.
- You'll see an orange button with the letters RSS. Click on that button.
- You'll see a whole page of funny lookin' code in your browser window. Copy that page's URL and paste it into your favorite feed reader.
- Now you can be notified via your feed reader every time an item is posted on Craigslist that meets your criteria.
