One of these methods was stolen from me a few months back and sold for $500 a copy to a few people after I was nice enough to give the step by step to someone via instant message, but it was certainly worth it and can easily make you $10,000 or more this month depending on the time you put in.

Regardless, the following exploits can be used for a ton of work related CPA, CPL, or affiliate offers and is mega profitable.

First, below is an original post by me where I attempted to open people』s eyes to the real exploits available by utilizing Craigslist.

There are three of my methods here, two in the post each capable of $200 or more a day and the third which is worth a fast $10,000 or more:
「I was going to put up something pretty in depth, but then I realized that a lot of members may not have any startup cash or page building knowledge, so I figured I'd throw up a simple Craigslist tactic that makes me about $120-$160 a day, and this is net profit after the expense of one of my staff ($9 per hour) that runs this for me.

Basically it's all about posting help wanted ads in sections like "customer service" "office help" anywhere where a telecommute position could be offered.

Make your ad look legitimate, something like: "We are a cutting edge software firm seeking an experienced customer service rep. The qualified candidate should have moderate knowledge of Microsoft office, email, and excellent communication skills, telecommute is offered for the right applicant. Please forward a resume and cover letter for consideration."

By posting variations of this ad talking about different types of companies looking to fill different types of positions in numerous cities, you'll receive literally hundreds of resumes a day. Just make sure you include the word "telecommute" in the ad, and also check the "telecommute ok" box in the additional posting options before submitting.

We grab all the emails, wait about a week, and then start sending them a few affiliate offers about work from home jobs, telecommute placement companies etc.

We obviously have their name from the resume and say in the email that they are receiving the ad because they requested information on available positions in _____<---(whatever position they applied for), so it all looks legit and I always give them a place to unsubscribe to add even more legitimacy.

Now that's the simple way, and I should mention DO NOT USE AN AUTORESPONDER, it will only appear to the applicant that you are fake. Instead grab the emails and throw them in an excel sheet for mailings about a week later.

Want to get even more in depth and make some serious money each day? Of course you do, but it takes a little internet and phone work.....

Many staffing agencies, temp and otherwise offer a referral fee for anyone you as a "headhunter" bring to them.

So let's you posted your ad in Tampa Bay CL, you'll be getting about 30 resumes within a day from the Tampa area and also a few random ones, but we're only worried about Tampa right now.

Now you do a search for "staffing agencies tampa" and no doubt there will be 30 of them in the tampa area.

Call them up and say "Hi I was wondering if you offer a referral fee for placing applicants with your firm" Many will offer this, if they say no, ask to speak to a manager and let them know you can send dozens of new qualified local applicants each week.

Sounds crazy, but most people don't think to use a staffing agency in their search for work, and the competition between staffing firms is so fierce that they want as many resumes as they can get on file.

Most firms have no idea how to market online because they are primarily local and don't see the point in doing anything but getting in the yellow pages and being listed with the chamber of commerce. You as an internet marketer can exploit this and make a very nice income grabbing resumes for dozens of cities.

If you like to keep it simple, the email method works just fine by for a nice average each month of about $120 a day. Hope it helps.」
Well that post sparked about 70 PM』s begging for help, and in my replies I discussed additional CPA exploits like GoToWebinar and a few other CPA programs such as the large job sites that were paying per resume submission.

We』ll start with GoToWebinar:

GoToWebinar is on the Commission Junction network, it pays $50 per FREE trial, and an additional $50 if the person renews the following month.

Obviously we are only concerned with getting that free trial commission.

Quite simply, you are posting an ad exactly as I stated above regarding a telecommute office position of some kind, the key being the look of legitimacy.

How do you look legitimate?

It』s pretty simple, look at other ads on CL, or my personal favorite, jump over to CareerBuilder.com or Monster.com and steal a job listing from there. They are always well written, the salary makes sense, and all the work has been done for you.

Simply change it up a little, insert your company name, done deal.

You will of course receive dozens of resumes with each post, every one of these is a prospect for any one of the three methods I』m discussing here.

The next step is to wait a few days before contacting them, just as would be the case on any normal job you have applied to.

Now, many of you are probably hip to the fact that I like to be super in depth with how I roll out a method, and frankly that is the reason I absolutely blow it out of the water income wise on every method I create.

For me, I want a professional company site so that emails are coming directly from it to the prospects. I want Vonage small business or a business account with one of the cellular carriers so that my company name is displayed on the caller ID when I give them a call. I want a toll free number and a top level office address displayed prominently on the site.

All of this costs less than $500 to setup and with it you will make no less than $30,000 using many of these methods.

Seems to be a nice ROI yes?

Even still, a lot of you guys half ass it and it really pisses me off. You want the money in your hand today, you aren』t willing to lay out a few bucks, and that is why many of you will not see the same success using these methods as myself or other members here who get the importance of covering all the bases.

That was my little plea for you to do this right, and hopefully a fair percentage of you will invest in doing so.

Getting back to step 3, you』ll now be contacting the prospect and letting them know they are being considered for the position.

Personally I prefer to have this done by phone, it only motivates the prospect more and is far more effective.

If you haven』t paid the lousy $29 to get a vonage business line, or similar service, then you』ll have to email them, you don』t want to block the call or use your personal number as this looks odd in a potential employees eyes.

Hopefully you』ve at least setup a corporate site so you can email them professionally because sending through gmail is going to raise a lot of red flags with most prospects.

Step 4 is telling them they are required to join a webinar the following week where a company presentation will be made regarding the position.

You』ll be telling the prospect that a follow up questionnaire will be supplied after the webinar in order to determine the right candidate for the position.

Step 5 is pretty obvious; you』ll be giving them a link (your affiliate link) to the GoToWebinar program and instructing them to setup a new free account so they will have it available for the presentation.

I prefer to create a sub page on my company domain like: yourcompany.com/11-17-08-webinar.html or something to that effect and sending the prospect to that where a page will display the webinar time, length, and of course the affiliate link to download GoToWebinar.

Make sure to tell them to get setup within the next day or so in case they have any technical difficulties. You don』t want them waiting until the last minute to download because you want them to stay on the trial at least 2-3 weeks so it does not look suspicious to GTW』s affiliate managers.

There are a couple approaches to keeping them on the trial an extra week or two. You』ve seen the first part that gets them on board a week early, next you can reschedule the webinar another week later by saying virtually anything such as the hiring manager holding the webinar had an unexpected business trip, etc.

At some point before the actual webinar you will tell the prospect the position was filled but you will keep their resume on file as a similar position may be opening up shortly, or whatever you choose to say.

There is no shortage of ways to spin each part of the process. Even dragging your feet, you should be able to do $5000 this month.

As far as the first method where I discuss sending work from home or related offers via email, it really couldn』t be any easier.

There are a couple of different prospects we are seeking here, the higher salary employee who』s now out of work, and the low end salary customer service/administrative type.

For the higher salary guys, you want to post ads for marketing managers, VP』s, head of departments, sales trainers etc.

For low salary, obviously customer service, administrative office work, etc.

For both of these groups there is an ENDLESS supply of related offers that fit them, I』m going to post them in the forum because I expect you guys to contribute as you find programs.

TheLadders.com for example specializes in $100,000 a year and higher positions. They pay $12 for a one month subscriber.

Many of the guys posting on CL don』t know about TheLadders and those that have heard of it are often too distracted to remember, that is until you hit them in the face with a personal email like:

Mike, we know how hard it is to find a top level sales manager position on the job sites out there, and a large part of that is the companies looking for you are not searching there.

We』d like to invite you to search almost 60,000 top level positions suited for your experience and salary requirements.

You get the gist.

Same deal with those customer service job seekers, think data entry training, work from home jobs, and even get paid to sites like cashcrate that offer some quick cash.

You will end up with hundreds of resumes a week, it will take some practice, but you』ll soon be mailing large databases of job seekers with relevant offers and you will see more and more conversions.

The mind of a job seeker is a simple one 「I need to get cash rolling in」 they are far more accepting of anything that may help them accomplish this than their normal state of mind when they are comfortable.

The staffing firm placement method is obviously a lot more hands on, it』s going to require you to hit the phone hard calling staffing agency after staffing agency to get yourself a deal.

Remember that even at a few bucks an applicant that equates to some serious cash for the amount of local resumes you can push their way.

Believe me when I tell you, this is still a very open market, as it is when it comes to anything local, most of these businesses do not use the internet to further their business, they are still basing their advertising around yellow pages, local radio, mailers and so on.

I』m going to do a whole series on these types of specific exploits, this is the type of model that will earn you $200,000 a year or more as the market is so wide open right now.

I think it』s more effective for you guys if we discuss all of this in the forum so that ideas can be shared openly and I can answer any specific questions.
