ya know what? we're fucking SALESMEN, plain and simple.

I think the "free" element of porn will always exist. A good salesman gives out samples. I do believe the explicitness of our samples will decline because like any good salesman, once we got em hooked...we raise the price and give the illusion away.

Dialers. Well, hmmm. If the surfer is specifically made to understand what they were getting and how much it would cost, would they still download the software? I believe yes.

Look at those TV telephone psychic lines. You get charged $3.50 a minute. When they and the phone sex lines first came out, there was a backlash but they are still with us.

I agree with the Hun that every interest needs a portal. I think Mr. Hun, you will jump on the softcore bandwagon with the rest of us.

As I said, we are salesmen.

I have found the best way to sell a product is to first, find one you like. Second, just decribe to the customer EXACTLY what they are getting for their money. If your product is a good one, the description does the selling for you.

Then again, we are salesmen. We all have tricks and buzzwords. To say some methods are less ethical than others is true. But to say that we don't all dance and dazzle to push our products would not be true.

Honorable methods will determine the future. So will creativity, convenience, quality service and an ability to adapt to change.
