    Have you heard of "bum marketing"?

    Many people write hundreds (or even thousands) of articles which they submit to ezinearticles and/or other article directories and/or put on their own blogs, linking to "review sites" which are a form of simple blog where they "review" many different products available at places like Clickbank, all with affiliate links.

    Many people make a living just from people clicking on their links in forums.

    There are countless ways of making a living online without advertising. This doesn't matter very much. What matters a bit is when people start saying that it's a "FACT" (rather than their own potentially mistaken opinion) that advertising is the ONLY way. It just becomes a silly conversation when someone can get it as blatantly wrong as that. Now please excuse me if I drop out of the conversation, I didn't come here to argue. Good wishes and good luck to all. ;)

    Lol all the simple ideas are gone! You gotta be complex and add your own twist if you want to break through and stand a chance

    Still waiting for the URL's, Alexa.

    The noobs can believe that, but I and other more experienced webmasters know BS when we see it.


    Name them.


    The following comment alone tells me you are full of it, and you are just making stuff up just to post, like so many other noobs here:
    And, uh, the term is article marketing, something that has been around for over 20 years, not bum marketing, a term coined by some guy who made it up so he can sell his lame e-book on article marketing.

    Myth: You can make money from doing almost nothing and leaving it on auto-pilot.
    Fact: You have to constantly look after things to consistently make money online

    I completely agree with you. This is one of the "Famous" reality we already know but does not stop to compete.

    This term is implying that the product itself has no intrinsic value, and the only way to make anything out of it is by selling it on, to others who can then also only do the same themselves. What you're buying isn't really a "product of value" at all, it's effectively no more than a "license to re-sell", in other words: you're just buying a "promotable business opportunity", not something worth having for itself.
