Filling out a resume when you only work experience is camming and porn?

Hey guys, I am applying for a job to an adult bookstore that I like a lot. It's just a sales associate position and considering it's an adult bookstore, I don't think having my work experience included in my resume will hurt my chances, haha. But I have never filled out a resume in my life and am a little stumped. How would you describe the responsibilities and skills you've learned through camgirl/amateur porn work if you wanted to put them on a resume?

Here is my suggestion for a resume I posted a year ago. Now this probably way too corporate for an adult bookstore. But you do pick up valuable business skills in camming.

If I was the bookstore owner (does he really sell books, or mostly sex toys DVDs etc.?) to me the most valuable think a camgirl is extensive personal knowledge of various sex-toys and also through ACF.
Second, I think camgirls have wider knowledge of fetish than probably almost any other sex workers, which allow you to easily direct customers to what they want and make recommendations (upsell them).
If I was camgirl, my resume for the job would look something like this. The stuff in brackets is just an explanation.

Self-Employed Internet contractor.
  • Designed and executed marketing campaigns to drive paying customers to my storefront on an international web-based sales-of-services platform. [I’d call a camsite an ebay of services]
  • Increased monthly sales by X% in N months [your beginning camming income compared to your peak income.]
  • Top 1% in sales for Y months on website [If you made top 250 you are in the top 1% of MFC sales]
  • Made extensive use of social networks, including twitter, instagram, tumblr [whatever you used] to reach new customers and drive traffic. Reached a peak of X,000 twitter followers [or whatever your most impressive social network stat is].
  • Customized my storefront using HTML and CSS [If applicable] including creating graphics.... [add a blurb about whatever art or multimedia].
  • Developed promotions, customer acquisitions and retention programs [raffles, games, and clubs respectfully].
  • Provided email and chat-based customer support.
  • Designed, executed, and sold X number of premium support service on both web and mobile platforms (friendslist, snapchat, KIK etc.)
 
I wouldn't put camming on your resume for an adult store if that's what you mean. They have high turnover and lots of the people are pervy. Just put independent video editor or something. If you get the job, do not tell anyone there about camming coworkers or customers.
