If you’re trying to sell something fast online, where do think of posting it? Craigslist, of course.
However, in this case you have a mobile home for sale. So you’re likely asking this question:
“What chances do I have when selling my property on Craigslist in Jurupa Valley ?”
What are your odds? Well, they can be pretty good actually. After all, Craigslist gets roughly 50 billion page views every single month. But you have to get some critical parts of your ad exactly right.
What Chances Do I Have When Selling My Mobile Home on Craigslist in Jurupa Valley
Eight out of ten people will read the headline of an article, but only two of those ten will go on to read the remainder of the content. In addition, if you share your Craigslist link on social media, six out of ten people never read the article you shared. The point? You simply have to get the headline of your Craigslist ad just right.
You need to write an engaging headline, but you should never lie about your mobile home or exaggerate its features. One useful method is to use numbers, especially odd numbers. Here’s an example: “5 Reasons You Should Check Out My Spacious Mobile Home in Jurupa Valley. Just make sure you give them a reason to take the next actionable step and choose your ad.
Body
Now, in the body you have to deliver on the guarantees you hinted at in the headline. Just keep the content simple, using brief sentences, lots of space, and bullet points where appropriate. In addition, don’t make the tacky mistake of using bad grammar, run-on sentences, or misspellings. People often correlate the quality of the ad copy with the quality of the item for sale.
Also, make sure you include all the important keywords your target audience might be searching for. Craigslist serves up ads based on what people type into the search bar. If you think your ad isn’t getting the number of views it should, try experimenting. Change the text and try some different keywords in various places.
Pictures
Pictures are just as vital as the actual text for selling a mobile home on Craigslist. Most people make the images too large, which not only looks unprofessional, it causes the page to take longer to load. Most people hit the back button if the images lag to load.
Take pictures of entire rooms or areas, not of single items or appliances. If an appliance will be included in the sale (for example a refrigerator) you can include that fact in the body of the ad copy.
If you use a digital camera, make sure not to leave the date and time stamp in the bottom right corner of the image. This gives your images a careless, amateurish look. It also dates the property, which can be a snag if the house sits on the market for any length of time.
Posting Times
Many Craigslist experts recommend posting an ad between 10:00 am and noon on weekdays. After 5:00 pm on weekdays also works well.
Posting after 5:00pm on weekdays is what I would do if I were selling my manufactured house in Jurupa Valley on Craigslist. By posting after 5:00pm you’re showing a fresh ad to all those buyers browsing Craigslist right after they get home from work. People who are looking to buy property often wait till after their long day to think about house hunting.
If you wait until the weekend, morning is the favored posting time. A lot of people will look on the weekends, but they usually spend their time with friends and family and may not have the time to really look.
