Gumtree Experiments

After a few tests it seems in the right hands Gumtree could be a very lucrative way to engage with users.

I posted a Casual Sex based ad for Kensington London.. obviously as a woman and got 220 responses in 3 hours, that is crazy shit.

Most of which would jump of a bridge to have sex with my fictional character, let alone sign-up to anything.

Not that I would recommend doing that..

    Back in the day i used to do a lot of this “e whoring”
    Very easy and quick way to make money.

    If you ever feel like a good laugh and/or confirmation that humanity is doomed:

    * Set sex in Skype to female
    * Set status to “Skype me”
    * Wait 60 seconds or so

    From the general level of intelligence displayed by the rush of horny men I imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to get them to click on your money making links. Hell, promise them a pic or two and 50% would probably place an amazon order on your aff code :)
