You don't have to throw out your morals, you can market what you deem "ethical".
Now, as you have stated, people BUY what they think will make their lives better.
A lot of this "value" is really just perceived value, driven by many factors, marketing being one.
As in do you really need a BMW or Porsche? One car will probably add as much "getting around" value as another. The perceived values, such as status, luxury, etc are what drives those sales.
As for "marketing to 13 year old kids"... I am sorry, but as a marketer who sells goods over the internet I have NO way of knowing how old someone is.
The only measurement I have is that this person has a credit card.
Someone pays with a CC? He / she is 18, period.
Please do NOT alleviate the parents of their responsibilities.
And no, I do not market ringtones in any form.
To wrap this up:
If you do not feel comfortable marketing product X, then don't.

PUT. THAT COFFEE. DOWN.If you don't like ringtones, perhaps you'd rather have second prize: a set of steak knives.
"if their stupid enough to buy it, I'll continue to mark it to them"
Most hilarious way to spell market. Evar.
Then marketer would be spelled mark iter.
After coming on the site, asking a few questions why I've had little success with AM, someone suggested I read a few persuasive writing books.
While reading threw those I picked up a few other books, one being the psychology of selling.
It said the basic reason why people buy something is that it improves their quality of life, or fills a void.
I don't know what bothers me about that, but when I see people marketing1. I get so mad when I see this, because the people signing up for ringtones are most likely 13 year old kids that use their parents CC, or just bill it to the phone.
- Ringtones:
- penis enlargement
- porn
- get rich quick, mlm or ebooks, or some sort of package with dvds
I don't want to hear shit about this being the parents being stupid or bad parenting, you are marketing to kids!!! This doesn't improve their quality of life, this makes it a pain to deal with canceling the service, punishing the kids and dealing with the bills.
2. Penis Enlargement: How stupid does someone have to be to buy this. Well someone stupid enough to land on your landing page. This shit doesn't work.
"if their stupid enough to buy it, I'll continue to mark it to them" Really? Do you have any morals?
I don't think I have to continue, but really do you throw all your morals and ethics out the window to make a few bucks? Lets be realistic you don't make that much, after you consider all the time you put in, the money spent on testing keywords for google, msn, yahoo, constantly updating your landing page.
I guess it's not your fault the world is just a fucked up place, and anyway a person can make a buck, they'll take advantage of it.

My friend makes over 100k a year. I know this because I see the way he spends money. The car he drives, and everything, and he's only 20.

I'm sending out mass text messages now. Illegal? Yes
Cost of being fed up trying to get bt to work $550
2. Go look on Comission Junction, or even most of the aff networks. There are a lot of very mainstream products out there people make money promoting.

Lets be realistic you don't make that much, after you consider all the time you put in, the money spent on testing keywords for google, msn, yahoo, constantly updating your landing page.
