Craigslist Crunch Time for DNC Opportunists
If you’re trying to get some last-minute work involving the Democratic National Convention, or make money off of it in some fashion, Craigslist is where the action is. Plenty of folks are trying to cash in with the start of the DNC just less than two weeks away.
Now the thing about Craigslist, as I’m sure you’re familiar with the popular classifieds website (where you’ve probably bought/sold used furniture, bought/sold concert tickets, found jobs/hired people), is that anybody can post just about anything. But in relation to the DNC, aside from the hundreds of people still seeking to rent their Charlotte homes and condos for that week, there’s plenty of activity in the gigs and jobs categories when you search for DNC. Here are some interesting recent listings.
FYI, Craigslist links may expire at anytime; listings below are excerpted for length but otherwise are unedited.
