Is posting on Craigslist and OfferUp worth it for a new home service business?
Is it worth the time and effort to use these type of sites or will it bring in jobs that are cheap and nasty.

I consider Craiglist as another channel of digital media so as long as you have a way to filter through garbage with your intake process (qualifying questions, requiring deposits etc) then it's not a bad idea to post there. But with your line of work I think before/after pictures and videos of you doing the work could be more effective on other channels like Facebook/IG
Thank you. Ya ive never really been a computer guy until now. So I was curious if the jobs were more on the cheap can't afford to call a real company type thing or if it could be a good revenue source
I got started on Craigslist with my mobile mechanic business. This was back in 2006 though, and it was free to post at that time. Now there arent nearly as many people on there, and the customers even back then seemed to be not as good quality as from Google. I think Facebook is better.
