Should I advertise on Craigslist?

It depends. There are many benefits of advertising on Craigslist:

  • It's free (for now, but they will start charging soon)
  • It's anonymous (for now, but they will require a credit card soon)
  • A ton of clients scour Craigslist everyday, so there are a lot of clients
  • It is easy to use, and easy to view

    But, there are some downsides as well:

  • There are many limitations. You can't post full website addresses, it is difficult to upload multiple photos.
  • For now, it's free. That means anyone can do it!
  • Many escorts post fake photos and fake information, so clients will likely think you are doing the same.
  • Craigslist attracts cheap clients, because most escorts there offer cheap services. So your Craigslist clients will try to negotiate.
  • Many Craigslist clients are time-wasters! They want to send emails to you for more photos so they can masturbate to them, instead of booking appointments.
  • A lot of escorts also use Craigslist, and it's not unusual for hundreds of new ads to appear everyday. That means you have to keep posting your ad again and again everyday.

    So if you are looking to be an escort for a short-time for some quick money and you can tolerate cheap clients, Craigslist is great. A lot of escorts have built their careers on Craigslist. But soon, Craigslist will be cracking down on escort ads and will begin charging for escort ads and they will also remove text which shows what services you offer. Here's some more information.
