Finding gigs on Craigslist is like mining for gold. It takes time and you’ll find a whole lot of rocks and literal filth along the way. But with the right strategy and a touch of patience, you’ll find some worthwhile gigs.
Plus, you’ll learn a thing or two about just how odd people can be and have a few chuckles along the way.
I don’t open up Craigslist until I’ve exhausted my connections and gig-specific job boards because gold mining is no easy task. (Click HERE for my step by step guide to getting gigs.) With that being said, I have gotten some pretty sweet jobs. I’ve booked a commercial for a high end match maker, a commercial for a ring, my first Bar/Bat Miztvah gig, and one trade show.
How do I know? When the pandemic hit, I made a Craigslist ad for life coaching services. I’m not a certified life coach nor should I be offering such services. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and it seemed like a fun social experiment at the time. Shockingly enough, no one wanted to hire me for $100 an hour.
