Here's the basics of selling. With actual advice rather than rhetoric. And truism as opposed to horseshit like "you have to have something worth selling". Of course you don't. How many people buy macdonalds? How many buy factor records? You can market any old shit to anyone, you just have to know how to sell. Read practical tips written just for the porn market:
From a man whose never sold diddly squat.

The people who buy MacDonalds burgers over and over again, don't do it because of marketing. They do it because they like them. So Damian doesn't understand why people like them. Doesn't mean other don't. There's also price and convenience and image factors to consider.

"You can market any old shit to anyone, you just have to know how to sell."

Try selling it to them twice. Three times and for ever. That's like saying an affiliate will keep promoting a site that doesn't sell, just buy him drinks at a party. Damian might have a point actually, when dealing with fools.

You missed the part about respecting customers Damina.
