of my professional life teaching clients how to produce sales with no budget,'s8221; says Shanon Lewis, author of The Unofficial Craigslist Book. 's8220;Over the past 3 years
Craigslist.org has become the single most important avenue for new sales for my clients, some have even seen sales double in the last year alone due to their efforts on
Craigslist.'s8221;
What has this cost them 's8220;Nothing, zero, all of the sales they have received via Craigslist have not cost them a dime.'s8221;
