Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Sometimes I check the Craigslist "adult gigs" section to see if there are any easy and interesting things to try, like foot fetish modeling or topless house cleaning or whatever.
If i find something ok, I email them and ask for more info, maybe send a pic if it sounds legit.
But I have never, ever gotten contacted back!!! Are craigslist ads just all full of shit? Do none of them want Asian girls, unless specifically advertising for "oriental or ethnic"?? Or am I just too amateur or too young or not hot enough for them?
I have no idea, because none of these people ever respond with even a short reply or explanation. Just wondering what your experiences were like.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
I think a lot of it can be just BS, and maybe preferring a specific race. I've had guys not reply, or reply but act like they don't want to really pay for the "service". I've also had guys who were really interested in me, but completely cut off contact once they found out I was African-American.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
I've applied to several craigslist "adult gigs" ads and only had two gigs from them so far. (which is partly because I am fairly large and partly because I look for bdsm work)
Several guys were just looking for *really* cheap sex & calling it "an erotic art project" because they intended to take pictures.
Try surrounding cities; craigslist (and the Internet in general) have both the advantage and disadvantage that you can find anything...there's just generally a bunch of crap to wade through on the way to finding what you want. Screen as much as possible and stay safe; good luck.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Most of the guys on Craigs List are cheap as hell! I think most of them probably place ads and go with the girl or guy who is deperate enough to do "service" for a really cheap rate. I would not use it as a way to find adult gigs.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Good to know, thanks. I always thought there was a good chance because there are always so many new posts a day, of a huge variety.
I finally found one guy who did reply and sent me pictures from his portfolio, so he seems like a legit photographer, I might try and do that and see how it goes. Never done a photoshoot before.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
In my experience, there are 10 wastes of time on CL for every legitimate person. That said, I have landed a few good gigs there, and it's worth checking. You just have to wade through a lot of crap.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
I do not suggest sending out any remotely nude photos out to cl ads. Many posts are just guys looking for free pics. You never know who can be on the other end, including children (always keep this in mind). Before sending any pics, ask if there is a legit website you can look at for the job offer. In this day and age if a company does not have a website they are most likely illegitimate.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Also make sure your pics are watermarked with your stage name somewhere in the pic (preferably over a part of your body) You will be making it harder for people to steal your pics and use them elsewhere this way. I have had the same experiences. I posted an ad for work on craigslist and also replied to ads. All people wanted me to do was send more and more pics without giving me any real info about the work, no website, no nothing. Also any private collectors are bullshit. They are just guys looking for sex for money and a souveneir to enjoy later. If you are looking for legit modeling work, there are plenty of places besides cl to look. modelmayhem dot com, onemodelplace dot com, sexyjobs dot com, and adultstaffing dot com. Although it is as hard to find work here (especially if you are new) the people who reply to the ads on these places must sign up and pay for the service, meaning there are fewer children at risk and there may be more legit work to find. Good luck. If you are new I have found most people will only offer tfp, it is hard to find paying gigs if you are new, but press on and don't give up.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
So glad this topic is here, because I just sent off some emails after looking at adult gigs.
I'm applying for a $20 an hour job where I have to dress up sexy and do secretarial stuff. I'm totally comfortable with this but I'm kind of afraid he's looking for more because it was listed in the adult gigs section. I used a casual, fully clothed picture of me out with friends and he answered back to schedule an interview for next week, so I'm going to use the weekend to buy a pencil skirt and brush up on my Excel.
It'll probably end up being a sketch businessman who wants me to dildo myself all over his cubicle then use my vaginal liquid to glue together a statue of his cock.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Also CNN says Craiglist has just been accused of . And I am shocked, shocked.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Like most posters in this thread, I agree that the majority of CL ads are bogus.
However, I've also found some good gigs there. I found my private party agency on craigslist. I also found a very nice foot fetishist. But yeah, most of the time I either never get any response from the majority of the ads, or I get, "Can you send us pictures where you're more naked?"
Needless to say, those responses don't get a reply from me.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
I've had a couple successful shoots from CL, one was a dominatrix with extensive costumes and a complete dungeon. In general any CL category requires lots of work / back-and-forth communications, and delivers a low percentage of success, but I think that's to be expected for the 'free admission' to the site…
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
Hey ladies there is a web on Craigs List that is bsing people so please beware of who you chat with send pics to they have a tendency to steal them and use them in other places.
Also, a lot of the listings u see on Craigs List for escorts or advertising to be an escort are fake set up by this ring of people. To steal countless dollars and information from people.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
I agree with what everyone else said...I've gotten a few good gigs off it,but you have to wade through a lot of crap to get them so be ready.
I've found that telling people you bring a friend for security helps wade out a lot of freaks. If they say no...NEXT
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
i have a friend that used to work off craigslist and yeah can you make some quick money but i know it differs by city i heard on the news about the promoting prostitution in the states, im in toronto and i heard of a few girls getting busted up here too...i would not recommend this to anyone unless you wanna deal with that bullshitt...its really not worth it...if you wanna escort its much safer to do it through an egency or independantly with customers you know from your strip club/massage parlour whatever.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
^^ I dont think anyone is talking about escorting. The OP was asking about adult gigs...nude modeling, dominatrix, etc....legal work
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
A few months ago I posted an ad looking for modeling work. I mostly do artistic nudes, but have done other things including trade shows, quite a bit of industrial (modeling for non fashion products for example). some fashion, etc. A few ads mentioned I do parties (I keep the modeling and dancing jobs separately). I stress all through the ad that I'm not looking for anything else, I've gotten:
Guys requesting nude photos. I told them I never send those kinds of photos and only send non nude photos if you can prove you are a photographer. Needless to say I either never heard back or got nasty emails ("how can you model for me if I can't see your body").
Guys asking how much I charge for sex, or asking me if I'll give some form of sex starting at $10 (BJ). Um no, I'm not a hooker, or looking for sex.
Guys telling me I'm too old to model if I am over 24. I am over 24, but I'm still in shape, look younger than my age and not looking for "adult" work.
I'm not looking for modeling or dancing to be my full time jobs. Those days are over and I'm fine with that. I had until recently a full time job. Yet this hasn't stopped a few from offering me "full time" jobs. By full time I'm talking about guys wanting to hire me to be a nude assistant. Can't they read when I ask strictly for part time legit modeling work?
This isn't just for modeling or dancing either. I've posted looking for marketing work (my "real" job). I've gotten pyramid schemes, cashier offers, selling insurance and so much more.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
^^^ It's also even harder to get the legit jobs because that photographer's inbox is being flooded with other models' requests for work. That's one of the biggest reasons that once you say something that causes their disinterest, they don't even bother mailing you back. They don't have time; you just get deleted.
That's why I stopped using CL. I found a couple gigs through the site but after that it just because a huge pain in the butt--esp with the guys who only wanted nakkid pics.

I'm pretty sure the majority aren't legit because I've been doing this for many years (over 17) so can usually spot a fraud from the wording. I've had a few send me samples or a website link, so I know (or assume) those are legit. I've had friends scammed by perverts posing as photographers before and even on Craigslist. I've even heard stories of guys taking the nude photos people send them and posting them other places for money.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
ok, one night half asleep, I responded to a CL ad asking for someone to clean his house nude or mostly nude and no touching etc. So I replied. Then he changed it to ask if it was o if he masturbated while he looked at me....I said fine, as long as you dont get near me while u do it. We started negotiating price and i was asking how much he needed cleaned and should I dust or just basic vacuuming and wiping down counters, etc. Then he said I don't need to clean anything....so basically he wanted a naked girl to stand there while he jerked off for 5 minutes. WTF. I stopped answering him.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
^^LOL! I remember I used to see those ads on CL years ago for nude housecleaning. The guys would always want to jerk off while watching. such weirdos! I'm so glad CL got rid of their adult section. It was nothing but cheap scumbags and predators looking for prey. Now they all go to Backpage, which is the new Craigslist.
Re: Craigslist adult gigs- have you tried em?
I used to be able to find some real Gems on craigslist but then again those were always far and few in between. Most of the time though it was just cheap asses and time wasters who wouldn’t show because their car broke down, their wife broke her neck, they got called into work, or some other lame excuse.
