I heard the “Craiglist” 2 years ago, when I was searching for online jobs. I planned to earn some pocket money doing work at home jobs. After searching at search engines, I realized that most of the sites demand money to get online jobs or simply they were scams. After logging on to “Craiglist” I was really amazed to see that I was getting online job offers on daily basis and not only for job seekers or job providers, it offers lot of other stuff FREE of cost to internet users.

This post would help you know in detail about “Craiglist”, providing you tips and links to get most out of this famous site.
According toWikipedia:
“Craigslist is a central network of online communities, featuring free classified advertisements (with jobs, internships, housing, personals, erotic services, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, resume, and pets categories) and forums on various topics.”
The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. After incorporation as a private for-profit company in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000. As of September 2007, Craigslist had established itself in approximately 450 cities in 50 countries.

Subscribe to RSS Feeds
If you are looking for something specific, say a Queen Anne brocaded couch circa 1965, you can set up a Craigslist alert to be notified when something new pops up that fits your criteria. This is how you do it:
Go to your city’s Craigslist, and click on “Furniture.”
Then enter your search term(s), what you’re willing to pay, and whether you’re looking for something from a furniture dealer or private seller.
When you’re done, click “Enter.”
Scroll to the bottom of the page.
You’ll see an orange button with the letters RSS. Click on that button.
You’ll see a whole page of funny lookin’ code in your browser window. Copy that page’s URL and paste it into your favorite feed reader.
Now you can be notified via your feed reader every time an item is posted on Craigslist that meets your criteria.
Craigslist Jobs: The best jobs can be found easily at Craigslist. All you need to do is find your city, then click on the job category that most interests you. Many job specialities are represented here, including non-profit, technical support, education, and more.
Craigslist Real Estate: Again, all you need to do is click on the city that you’re interested in and find the “real estate” link. Many, many homes are bought and sold here.
Craigslist For Sale: My favorite part of Craigslist. I’ve bought and sold two couches here, a truck, and pet supplies, all for far less than what I would’ve spent in the store.
Craigslist Discussion Forums: Talk about anything from housing to politics. The discussions here can get pretty heated, but I’ve found them to be sources of great information on various issues.
