I am selling my home on my own. I posted on Zillow and Craigslist. Can I post on the MLS for sale by owner? Is there any other sites you highly recommend? Thanks

GOOGle "FSBO" and your town. Consider sites that show other FSBO listings from your area.

You may be able to find an agent who posts FSBO's to the MLS in your area. $199--$499 is a common cost for that service.
But, you probably cannot post FSBO's on your own, unless you are a member of the MLS, meaning a real estate licensee and possibly a REALTOR. That is dependent on the bylaws of your local MLS's.

To add to the above, you will also have to offer a buyer's agent a commission to post on the MLS.

Craigslist may bring in a lot of scams.

Be leery of anyone or any offer who sounds to good to be true.

Agreed 100%

I highly recommend that you avoid Craigslist due to the high percentage of scammers (buyers and/or sellers) on that site.

Personally I'd never even think of buying a house on craigslist because of the scammers. But feel free to list it there if you think it will help.
