To date no one online has impressed me with his "marketing" skills.

Skills at building traffic, giving away porn, getting good SEO, isn't marketing.

Marketing is about increasing peoples desire to buy the product, making the product fit customers needs better and over all promoting the product. It's not selling, it marketing.

All online did was take 100,000s then millions of surfers. Then sell to a declining % of them over the years. The more they built the traffic the smaller % that bought. And the solution was always more traffic, which usually meant more free porn which led to a smaller % buying.

That's not marketing, it's throwing mud at a wall in the hope it will stick.

Telling someone a product delivers something it clearly doesn't isn't marketing either. It's conning.

I've no doubt Robbie has made some money, but not from "marketing". From building traffic that probably converted at 1-1,000, even in the good days. The numbers of people who looked at the product is the true number of surfers. Not the number who clicked on a link.

A TGP site is a porn shop, displaying lots of peoples goods. EVERY SINGLE person, beside the person who lands there by accident, is interested in porn. Some can't buy, the numbers who could and didn't because they didn't have to are staggering.

Here's a sales story told over the years.

2 salesmen land on a desert island with lots of samples of shoes.

1 phones the office and says "I'm coming back, no one here wears shoes."

The other phones the office and says "Send containers full of shoes. No one here has any."

It's not a perfect example of online porn, but it illustrates the point that if everyone has shoes there's no need to buy. Online porn gave away free porn and very few wanted to buy. They didn't have to.

Robbie you fail at pointing out what I can do. Good photographers work for other people who can sell their work to publishers. I always sold my own work. That's how little you know about marketing. Do you think people came to buy from me, without me going out and marketing and selling the porn?

You still haven't posted anything to indicate you have a clue about marketing and thinking all I am is a good photographer clearly shows what little you know.

Good night, you're wrong but will never see it.

Post some marketing knowledge please. And STFU with the self praise. Let your ego down a notch or 3.
