Howdy... for what it is worth I have built a consulting business, believe it or not, by answering higher end ads from Craigslists. The "secret" is to use the RSS features of Craigslist and run multiple search feeds in an RSS reader like NetNewsWire that lets you sort and mark them... I run searches like "CSS" "UI design" etc.. Run those same searches all over the country for your area of expertise. Have a kick ass portfolio online, solid references, and send out emails everyday to answer the quality ads... and rock the initial interviews... I have literally been consulting full time doing custom app and drupal theming from Craigslist for two years... my site: www.jeffreydalton.info
