    Hi

    this is a calling for a bum marketer who has achieved success. I work hard and I have complete focus and dedication. However this has got me nowhere. I'm not one to give up but it's very frustrating when I see people earning from bum marketing from a few hours, and here's me putting in all the hours under the sun with no results. Obviously, I'm choosing the wrong products or not grasping the marketing methods fully but I've tried everything.

    I need to make some extra money now...more like yesterday! So I was hoping that if there are any bum marketers who are truly successful they would help me get the ball rolling, with rewards of course. I don't know whether you would prefer a fee to set it up or a percentage of the earnings? Either way it's open for discussion.

    Hope someone can help.

    Do you mean writing articles?

    Leave that term "bum marketing" at the door. That's just a term slapped on an old method by some schmuck looking to make more money with his e-book.

    A couple of things...

    Get others to critique your articles before sendiing them out.

    Choose only high-commish products. Stay away from clothes, food, electronics, and other such low-commish products.

    I can write articles well and i know i can hire others to write them if need be. I guess the main problem is selecting products to market. I follow criteria on product selection but don't see results!:mad:

    Sounds bit like your focus is in "what's it for me", when in reality you should be thinking "how can I make other people's lives better".

    When you figure out a genuine way to help others, then the money will follow. It's not perhaps about the products... it might be your reasons for doing internet biz.

    Hi there, "bum marketing" won't give you overnight success. However, if you work consistently every single day doing a bit of work there will be a significant snow ball effect and it will help you.

    Also outsourcing may help you too.

    Warmly

    How long have you been at it? I mean the huge pay day's probably won't come from a couple of months of working at it.

    I believe the term is used by Travis Sago at the FREE www.bummarketingmethod.com
    I learned A LOT from it - and it's 100% FREE.

    Who cares?

    It's an old method that has nothing to do with him.

    I like bacon, not spam.

    Most of us care because without this guy pushing this method I would have never found out it existed.

    "Bum Maketing" or "Atricle Marketing" does work rather well, but you have to understand...

    5 articles won't make you rich, although 500 articles may very well make you happy.

    There's very little that's new in internet marketing that hasn't been used for decades in some form in traditional marketing. Travis' Bum Marketing site is an excellent education in article marketing and also list building. Travis has used the course to build his mailing list to the point where he can use it to produce money at will. I think that's worthy of respect.

    Some people have a natural talent for immediately producing articles that key in on buying triggers. Others have to work at it. Pay some attention to what Travis does as well as what he says. He is primarily marketing a membership site with recurring income.

    In the meantime, keep writing articles and studying the process, as well as reading other people's articles to see which one's draw your attention and then try to figure out why.

    Good luck.
