Have you ever received new leads or clients from Craigslist?

Hi Patricia,
I've marketed my outdoor wokouts through Craig's list and like Whitney I did get quite a few people that signed up.

The best thing about marketing on Craig's list is that it's free and you can update your classes, workshops, etc., whenever you want. The downside is that you will get a lot of spam and junk mail from people trying to sell you something, but its definitely worth the effort. Good luck!

Never had anyone call me from the numerous Craiglist classes. However, meetup.com is really good.

Craigslist is free and there isn't anything wrong in giving it a try. I have had a few leads from it.

Hello Patricia,
I have never tried Craigslist, but its a great idea!

Sincerely,
Michael

I have never used Craigslist before, but I know other trainers who have and they got clients from there. It's a good way though to post an ad when looking to hire new trainers.

I got mostly solicitations from other businesses trying to sell me stuff. Be careful and use the fake email address that Craig's list offers. All in all it's a quick and dirty way to get your name out there.

I've found meet-up to be more profitable than craigslist, with less spamming.

I used the craigslist in Madison WI and I got a lot of leads from it. I can't say the same for Dallas and Washington DC. This tells me that the market is very different in these 3 cities and the way of people looking for trainers differs from city to city. But I'm sure others have different experiences with craigslist. It's an easy and cheap way of advertising so I can't complain since I didn't have to invest anything to it.
