How to Get People to Buy Your Stuff

We had up to 300 customers per day, just a fraction of our eBay exposure.

“How do I get people to buy my stuff???” I hear you ask. Actually, that’s almost the whole of the conversation these days, because marketing isn’t like it used to be, and to begin with, that’s the wrong question.

It isn’t “How do I get people to buy my stuff?”, it’s “How do I get people to just L@@K at my stuff???”, and that’s the hardest question to answer, especially when you’re talking about online sales and marketing.

There is No Cure For Stupid

Fort Ord, California, 1962, Trainfire Weapons Instructor.

Ignorance is something that you can counter-attack with information, but what if someone is totally resistant to information, and can’t discern fact from fiction even when it’s happening before their very eyes?

There is no Cure for Stupid.

Resistance to learning is just one symptom of Stupid. Immovable, like the Rock of Gibraltar, just sitting there, period, like your average Senator or House member.

You think Minchin and Sinema are assholes? Just watch the circus and see a jungle spectacle that happens in my horror-filled zombie levels and killing fields. Continue reading
