Hey Pony this is a great thread. Glad to see you capturing leads with your articles, this definitely helps out a lot too.
So what's the verdict? Does bum marketing by itself work or is it over hyped? Or maybe some are doing something wrong. Because a lot in this topic is giving me mixed feelings on the whole thing. I'm thinking maybe some are just getting one hit wonders round here. Can anyone else give an update on their bum marketing?
Bum Marketing does not work. How may articles are posted every day?? Thousands.. and you are one of them. Only good to have some backlinks to your website. Better post these articles on your website and become an authority in your niche. Will bring you much more money.
Thats not true it works. I have 6 articles and I've made over 1.5k and only 6 articles minimal work. In about 2 months. I could make more writing more articles. This money is using just bummarketing. To make more I will have to use the traffic from bummarketing for other things like opt ins.
I wrote an article about 3 months ago and made a sale a week ago. I haven't made a killing with bum marketing, however, it's still incredible. You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket however - what you should do is put great content on your blog or website and re-write it & post it on article directories.
So none of that 250$ a day stuff huh? I think I remember an earlier post from you. That you were list building in combination with it? Anyways thanks for the advice.
Thanks for all the information its a very resourcefull thread and pony you can do it you have been an inspirational figure and i'm glad you made this thread many people will benifit of it Thanks again
No i'm still list building, I've had plenty of subscribers, but i'm definitely not making $250 a day with bum marketing, I am raking consistent big cash with other methods though; however, I was just trying to prove that bum marketing does work if you put in the time, as I wrote one article and it still brings me sales to this day.
Ah ok. I don't want to go off topic or nothing. But what else are you doing? Are you just an affiliate or do you have your own product?
I use article marketing to boost my serps all the time, which it works awesome for. If your strategy is to only try to get sales/response from the articles themselves which you right you may be somewhat dissapointed. The most sales you will get is from the keyword targeted raises you get in serps.
Actually, you can use articles to earn an incredible amount of sales - I think people should use them for both sales and using a boost in SERPS there's definitely a way to do that as well
What a let down... the least he should do is update the thread with whether or not it actually worked. I'm betting it didn't end up working, or he'd be here bragging about how much $$$ he was making!
