The course
Survey offers on Craigslist, the way it actually gets done.
Not a theory deck. The setup one CPA marketer uses to run research-panel offers from the gigs section: which cities are worth paying for, why the ad goes to his own page and never a raw link, the seven-part ad that gets replies, and what he does once it is live.
Credited back on your first posting order of $47+.
Seven short videos and the written course. Watch on this site the moment payment clears.
Who it is for
Affiliates running survey, research panel, focus group, product-testing or game-testing offers on a CPA basis. If your offer pays on a completed signup or a completed survey, this is your audience. If it pays on a purchase, Craigslist is the wrong room.
Why it works here
Nobody lands on the gigs page by accident. They opened it looking for a way to make money this week, so a panel paying $50 to $125 an hour is not an interruption. And you pay per post, not per click: one fee, thirty days of exposure.
What it is not
No income claims, no countdown, no secret network. Costs shown are real platform pricing. What you make depends on your offer, your copy and your market — the course shows the setup, not a promise.
What is inside
Seven modules, about eight minutes of video in total, plus the written course with the example ad and the city fee tiers.
- 01
Why Craigslist works for survey offers1 min
The economics: you pay per post, not per click. The $3, $5, $7 and $10 fee tiers, and which ones are actually worth it.
- 02
Your own page, never a raw link1 min
The two-hop setup — ad, your own page, then the offer — and why a raw affiliate link is never an option.
- 03
The ad2 min
The seven-part ad, line by line, using the exact ad that runs. Title, two calls to action, compensation, and the part that sells it.
- 04
Posting it1½ min
Placing the order on screen: compensation, replies, picking twenty-five cities, and what the price is made of.
- 05
Watching it go live1 min
The queue, the live links, and checking your ad exactly as a reader sees it.
- 06
Letting it run1 min
There is no dial to turn. What to change after a run, and what to leave alone.
- 07
Scaling it1 min
Adding cities and offers without breaking what already works.

Questions
- Do I need Scale Classifieds to use this?
- No. The method is the method. Scale Classifieds is how the marketer in the case study posts — his ads go up from our accounts, in every city, without him touching Craigslist — and the course walks through that. If you post yourself, everything in modules 1 to 3 and 6 to 7 still applies.
- How does the credit work?
- Buy the course with the same email you order with. Your first posting order of $47 or more gets $47 taken off at checkout, automatically. If you go on to post with us, the course cost you nothing.
- What happens after I pay?
- You land on the course page and can watch immediately. The same link is emailed to you, and it keeps working, so come back whenever you want.
- Is there a refund?
- It is a digital product you get instantly, so it is not refundable. That is what the credit is for: the $47 comes back on your first order.
Scale Classifieds is an independent service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Craigslist, Inc. Costs shown in the course are real platform pricing. No income is promised or implied; results depend on your offer, your copy, and your market.
