As consumers, even in this hobby, we’re subjected to all sorts of selling techniques. Welcome to Selling “It”, the Utopia Guide forum where we discuss how the hobby is marketed.
Why should you care? Since selling the oldest profession has moved online, all sorts of new techniques (and many old ones) have been developed and employed to capture your attention, not to mention your dollar. Recognizing these techniques makes you a better consumer. Sharing what you know educates the rest of us.
So join in this discussion. Tell us what captures your attention and why. What works, what doesn’t. What you find the most annoying. And the most entertaining.
This is also a forum for providers to share their selling secrets (if they dare). Everything from what types of posts generate the greatest response rates to what kinds of photos get their clients to stand at attention.
From Craigs List to Eros to unsolicited e m a i l spam to independent Web sites, and more, pimps providers and LE are trying to snare you. Let’s try to stay ahead of the curve. Who knows, maybe we’ll invent a few techniques of our own?
