Craigslist is one of the most popular virtual marketplaces today.
It serves as a platform to make good money and is easy to use.
There are several reasons why Craigslist works.
Let's take a look at a few.
1)Non commercial: Craigslist has no pop ups or intrusive ads displaying themselves when you visit the website.
These days, companies are going crazy marketing themselves and they have ads and banners almost everywhere on the internet.
In the midst of all this confusion, Craigslist is like a messiah in disguise for people who want to buy stuff, sell stuff, find a job, meet a friend or just voice their opinions.
2)Easy to use interface: Unlike other websites, Craigslist has no fancy flash interface that takes ages to load.
It loads very quickly because on the home page there is nothing but text.
If you take a look at the several pages of craigslist, you will notice that they are extremely basic and are designed very simply as well.
3)No middle man: Craigslist is a platform where genuine people meet other genuine people and contact each other directly.
There is no question of confusion or any kind of third party nonsense.
4)Craigslist is free: Yes, that is correct, for most of the ads and signing up, you don't have to pay a dime.
All you have to do is sign up, and figure out where you want to post your ad.
If you are looking for something, you can simply browse through all the categories you want and pay for nothing.
