Hello there,

I run an online business of selling digital downloads of adult themed cosplayer photo sets. Decent amounts of sales come in through the use of an adult card processor (Verotel), but despite offering bitcoin as a payment options for weeks and doing a bit of advertising, not a single bitcoin sale has been made.

I feel like I just haven't tapped into the bitcoin userbase properly. Any advice on how I can attract more bitcoin users? I love the currency and the ideas behind it, and really want to support the movement.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

You could try offering a reduced sale price for bitcoin transactions or maybe a small free gift aswell as adding a simple step by step guide or link on what bitcoin is and how to use it

Hope this helps.

find a payment processor like coinpayments.net or bitpay that maintains a public list of all the merchants that use their service. people regularly look through these lists searching for businesses that accept btc. it's free advertising and you get a stable payment processor to handle your btc payments out of the deal.

If serious customers are interested in buying, offer Bitcoin for a lower price and someone will surely say "ooo a discount? Let's check out what this Bitcoin is"

You'll be surprised how effective offering a few bucks discount on your products in return for paying with Bitcoin sells.

Also create a guide on how to obtain Bitcoin (visit virwox) that way they have an idea on how to get some instead of reading the first 10 results on google and giving up.

I do warn that if you accept PayPal and Bitcoin on the same site there could be consequences, PayPal are extremely strict with Bitcoin nowadays

If your business use credit card, you might as well offer 3% discount for people who pay using bitcoin.

Also advertise it targeting bitcoin user. That should help some.

This is very good advice. It is likely that a lot of your potential customers do not know about and/or have bitcoin, and if they are offered a discount for using it then they likely would.

It would also help if you were to advertise on bitcoin related sites (I am not sure if it is acceptable to make an ANN thread on here if your site simply accepts bitcoin).
