    I have seen a lot of people saying that Bum Marketing methods are dead and won't work anymore. Personally, I still get great results using Bum methods. Do you think Bum Marketing on the way out?

    The only reason people say it is dead is because it didn't work for them. Probably because they did not implement it right. And many people are submitting marketing potential articles which shows that there are many more people who believe that it does work as opposed to those who claim it is dead. So in simple words I believe it is worth the effort.

    "Bum marketing" is a term slapped on an old but still very successful method by some Gomer looking to make money from his e-book.

    What better way to create curiosity, which may lead to sales than using the very term, "bum marketing"?

    Bum marketing needs effort (a lot) at the start but at the latter stages, everything is close to passive. I guess many didn't get through the early stage though...

    I though Bum marketing refered to publishing articles on the Interenet with the intention of having it picked up by other ezines. That is what I read about it. Hmmm guess I was wrong? Here is what I read

    It is. I am talking about the term, the name attached to it as a way to create sales for his e-book that shows how to do that method.

    Regardless, articles will never die, so....

    Bum marketing is like everything in life.

    You must work at it, you can't just expect an easy ride.

    i think articles are worth it, but only if you do it the right way. if it will take you hours to write one article, it's not worth it.

    I started Bum Marketing 3 months ago - without any previous Marketing experience or knowledge, nor article writing knowledge. I am now making over $1000 a month from my articles - this money will soon be invested in PPC...

    BMM and Article Marketing is FAR from being dead...

    If you are writing good, original articles, there will always be a market for you.

    What article sites do you guys recommend submitting to?

    And do you guys actually get a lot of links back to you? I noticed a lot of people just remove the links from the articles :(
