I'm not doing a lot of coding nowadays. But for the past five years or so I have had a consulting gig helping to maintain and extend a tool for VLSI chip design written in Common Lisp. Unfortunately, I can't say anything more about that at the moment. Before that I wrote an e-commerce system that I used to run my company, Spark Innovations. It used Stripe for billing, Easypost for shipping, and Hunchentoot as the web server. I also wrote a spam filter that is still in production on my personal web server.

What does the Common Lisp consulting market look like? If one puts themselves out there (build reputation on the Internet) as a CL programmer, are they likely to land consulting gigs?

  Well, Clozure Associates was in that line of work and they are out of business. So that's a data point.

  There are few job announces, but positions are found thanks to one's reputation and online presence. It definitely happens, that's a data point.
