Posting on Craigslist is perhaps one of the most effective and time efficient ways to sell or buy stuff online (antiques, furniture, appliances, motorcycles, cars, trucks, books, smartphones, tablets, clothes, computers, electronics, real estate, you name it), get dates, find new job opportunities or decent paying gigs, vacation rentals, offer services, and more. But in order to tap into Craigslist’s enormous user base you must be able to post ads on the site, and to do this you must either create an account so that you can log into the site to post advertisements or classifieds, or you can follow the steps below to bypass the account creation process entirely.
