Craigslist is a free and popular site so posting your tutoring ads there has huge potential. Anyone can post an ad and it’s an easy process. The hard part is writing an effective ad and making it stand out without looking sleazy. Here are some guidelines to follow in order to write an effective Craigslist ad:

Stick to advertising one specific subject in your ad.

A common misconception is that you can get more clients by appealing to a more general population. Advertising specifically as a ‘middle school chemistry tutor’ is much more effective than advertising yourself as a general ‘science tutor’ because on a board full of ‘science tutors’ the ‘middle school chemistry tutor’ stands out and, if your niche is in demand, you will be the first choice of that potential client. All of the other ‘science tutor’ ads will be ignored.
