This gig is now closed. Original posting is below.

Quote
I do a LOT of business on craigslist, and even though my ads aren't spam, I have posted so many ads that my IP address is now perma-ghosted (anything I post pretends to be live, but doesn't show up in search results).

My ads only rarely get flagged, but I need some people who can "unghost" my ads by posting them from a clean IP address and dummy email account. If they later get flagged, that's my problem. You just get paid to get them up.

What you will need:

1) An IP address that hasn't been banned by Craigslist (that rules out ALL public proxies, and possibly most non-US IP addresses)
2) A U.S. phone number (for anyone posting more than just a couple ads)
3) Ability to create a dummy email address for the sole purpose of forwarding emails to me
4) Enough common sense to not discuss the ads here (that will just get them flagged)
5) Basic familiarity with craigslist, computers, and bitcoin

I will provide you with:
Text ads for you to post
Bitcoins, at $0.33 USD rate per ad posted (according to the current MtGox exchange rate at the time of payment)

It's not nearly as profitable as you might think. It's surprisingly hard to get people to install software from a random stranger they found on a craigslist ad Smiley

Still, ever the optimist, I'm willing to spend a few BTC to keep trying.

If anybody wants to discuss particular craigslist ads, mine or otherwise, please start a new thread. I would like this thread to be mostly bids so that people wanting this service can find workers quickly.

How many ads are there to do?

I'm willing to do it for $.15 - $.35 USD per ad (the BTC equivalent, that is.)

I'm willing to do it for .05 - .10 BTC per ad.

I'm going to do a few and see how this goes. I have posted hundreds in the past, and may do so again.

Please post prices in USD, so this thread will still have meaningful prices a month from now.

Why do you have to come from the US? I'm from canada, and craigslist works fine from here. oh, and i'll post for $0.10 per ad.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Canada should be fine. I'll send you a PM shortly.

I'm just trying to warn that Nigerian IP addresses and the like probably won't work for this Smiley

I'm already getting people started on this. I'm guessing people will update their prices once they get a feeling for how easy/hard this is.

I'm now officially paying $1USD for every three ads posted (33.3 cents per post). This is retroactive for all posts you guys have done already.

I'm having trouble accessing bitcoin.org right now, so I apologize if I am slow to respond to PMs.

Everyone who has posted offers above is either posting ads for me, or is getting started on it.

Everybody who has posted here or has sent me a PM is either posting or getting set up to do so.

Please note that if you have trouble finding cities to post in that don't already have my ad, just wait a few days and look again. If I ever decide to stop paying for ads, I will post notice here.

Sadly, no. The level of trust people have in Craigslist spam asking them to install some random guy's software on their PC is shockingly low Smiley

Still, I am refining my pitch and hoping for the best.
