They should probably start out working for themselves... so they will be more understanding of why a webmaster usually comes to them when theyre at their wits end, very demanding, and whiny. You need to be available most of the time because when it comes to the point where they need something from you, they more than likely need it NOW.... like if they're updating links and need galleries, I try to just get all that for them so they don't have to do anything.
You can't just spam the shit out of everyone. If you're going to try to get someone to try your program, you need to try and do as much work as possible FOR them and the only way you can do that is to be able to think LIKE them and KNOW what they're looking for and need. Know their site already and be able to make suggestion as to where they should add you and why.
Most importantly never burn your bridges. You never know where you'll end up later on. Just because some sex toy company or certain cc processors aren't something you can make money off of now, who's to say they aren't worth getting to know anyway. They have clients that they can introduce to YOU and vice versa... it's all karma. Being helpful in many ways to many people. It all comes back sooner or later.
