    Default Real Important News for those who self-promote.

    So, Attorney's General are asking CL to remove Adult Services. If you aren;t making fat bank on Adult Services, you're missing out, and may miss out forever if they have their way.

    What do you all think? Personally I think we should maybe start some letter writing as "legal adult entertainers" who would be fiscally injured by the removal of the CL adult services section.

    Maybe I'm paranoid, but Craigslist scares me!! I've seen so many robbings/killings/stalkings take place on there I'm scared to even try to sell furniture or some shit.

    As an escort and camgirl I do not advertise my services on craigslist. Escorts that advertise on craigslist are constantly targeted bY LE. I have had camgirls tell me that craigslist advertising doesn't work for them! I wouldn't be "missing out" if they took away the adult services category on CL ... not at all.

    Correct.

    This is why I do not use it.

    However I will use it when LOOKING for something like parts for my car, furniture.. etc.

    I worked as a booker for an escort agency a few years ago. The owner placed ads on CL, Eros, etc. The guys who saw our girls on CL were cheap bastards always trying to make us come down on price. I said FU and hung up the phone on a lot of these jokers!!! I told the owner to stop running ads there and he did. Soon our girls were earning top dollar again from men who know there is a certain price to be paid to spend time with smart, beautiful, classy ladies!

    Thanks for that! I thought this would be like devastating news for many on here, and was really surprised. I consider CL to be like a money factory. It is by far the best place I know of to just PRINT money.

    Anyway...guess this thread can away now.....hehehe.

    CL is pretty much a joke. I think it would help most of the adult industry if the adult services categories were removed on CL & BP... if the guys can't find the really cheap workers they'll be forced to pay more. That would be a service to everyone in our industry!

    Sounds like good news to me! I don't think adult services belong on craigslist...that's like advertising in the penny saver

    Why are you getting upset? We're all supposed to be helping each other out. Honestly I agree with Devon alot of your posts aren't adding up. I don't come CLOSE to 20k a week and I make DAMN good money. 20K a week? where do I sign up?! We're all ears trying to figure out what you were doing to make this kind of money. I don't think that was offensive to ask at all!

    Can you please give us some pointers WITHOUT mentioning the AE program? I mean like bam bam bam. I'm all ears. I admit I don't know everything. Hell, Devon knows way more than I do and I know ALOT. I'm trying to learn something new here.

    I backed off because I realize I had painted myself in a corner. See, I adore CL and I use it to make a ton of money and I am mortified that the fucking government is once again stepping in to ruin some private enterprise for doing nothing illegal, because SOME take advantage. So I figured you all are the consummate "hustlers" (total compliment there, not meant as anything otherwise) and would be the freakin' CraigsList MASTERS. So I posted and got the response I got. So I jokingly and tongue in cheek said "yah well, I made $20k there last week" using a number I thought would make everyone instantly laugh and be aware I was being tongue in cheek and more just saying that I BANK there. And everyone took it all seriously. So I said, again kinda joking, "well, I'll go back to my little corner now" and THAT got taken seriously and blown up too...and Devon says BYE...and then says she isn't hostile. I mean, how do you take her response? Friendly? Welcoming? You honestly don;t read her with a tone of hositlity or mis-trust or even anger? I tried to read her responses with a friendly welcoming tone and it doesn't work. I'm sorry, again, my fault I guess.

    Ok, so...back to painting myself in a corner. I make fat bank at CL, and everything at CL is in what you post and how you post it and where you're posting and so on. So, if I give you guys pointers, I cut my throat. Since there are a limited number of CL cities and if 30 of you (or god forbid 300 of you) start using the same general hustle I use, I will make MUCH MUCH less money. So no, I specifically cannot tell you "bam bam bam" how to do it. I can say that posting for Money slaves has worked there for me VERY well. That getting traffic to places where I need NUMBERS has worked very very very well. Panties sell incredibly well in certain cities (oops, the blood is flowing from my throat a bit now, since I so do NOT need competition in those cities).

    What I will say is this. You guys are somewhat correct when you say CL is the Walmart of porn or whatever you said up there. So, maybe not the best place to sell your precious body for a 1-2 hour fun session...just like Walmart doesn't sell Tiffany Jewelery. Walmart finds the stuff that is $2.98 and they get it for $1 and they sell ONE MILLION of them. THAT, ladies, is what Craig'sList is for. Now if you think about it, hopefully you can come up with something original and YOU that doesn't have competitors and make FAT bank too.

    If I can make $20,000 a week as an escort I'm all for it. Seriously though, I have used CL for both modeling and regular jobs and no luck. I got a legit interview from an ad on there (for a marketing director position at a large company) but way too many scams. A year or two ago I posted an ad looking for artistic modeling (I don't think I posted it in adult services) and had many responses from perverts looking for nude photos and no legit offers. I've also posted several dating ads on there last year and only got perverts. I use CL mostly to look at the ads now and laugh and ridiculous posts.

    I agree that CL is not a place to get a modeling career going. Indy Cam shows? I've had it both ways. But it works fairly well once you have auto-reply on Yahoo set to give them the payment info, and your dedicated e-mail for receiving payments set to go "DING DONG!" or whatever, when a payment comes through. Works well for the Indy sites too...that way you CAN easily double the shows you get on Yahoo. But if you try to read and reply to all the lame shits who yahoo you from CL, you'll go crazy and quit. Gotta make payment automatic for it to work.

    Otherwise, CL is good for everything else that isn't "jobs".....
