Criagslist Marketing - Does It work anymore?

[Daniel Leonardis]

I've been positing ads on classified sites (especially for Craigslist) for 6 months straight and have gotten very few leads for the time and $ spent. SHOCKING! I've tried a bunch of different things and nothing is working. Is this medium dead? Any suggestions would be welcomed. I target the New England area of the country. 

Things I've done with little success 

1. Pay for ads
   
2. Ads with pictures
3. split testing ads
4. adding phone numbers
5. different locations throughout my target market
6. professional written ads
7. huge discounts for leads (like we pay closing costs)
