      Ladders and funnels.

      Figure out how to get people into the funnel. Then figure out how to get them to climb the ladder.

      Think of motivation.

      Also, go read the Way of the Wolf. Best salesbook there is.

      If you have time, any video about Dan Kennedy on youtube is gold. Study the content of the videos.

      Go read the book "Way of the Wolf" by Jordan Belfort. Thats all you need to get started. Read it twice.

      Also, disregard any opinion that gives feedback on your site or product. Talk to real customers (after reading the book).

      Take any opinion or advice carefully.

      Look at marketing and sales as a pure function. Input goes in, output goes out.

      Work on your funnels. Who buys this? Aim the funnel towards them.

      Good enough > perfect.

      Luxury cares about the experience and story. You dont tell people about your dollar store socks, but you will talk all day about that expensive piece of art (and the story of how you bought it).

      Read starterstory.com and dissect each article to learn about the products.

      Read Jordan Belforts book titled Way of the Wolf. Its the best sales book you can ever read. Quick and easy. Order it after reading this comment.

      Feel free to reach out my email (in profile). Ill do my best to help another HNer.
