    Alexs64, good work, I have also tried adwords but bum marketing + seo works better for me. How many products do you promote using Bum Marketing and how many articles do yo write on each product?

    See, this is the problem #1... When you bum market, you do NOT sell, you help people... (this is when the sales start to come in)!

    Seems like you sell some of the same products as me :) (or at least same price).

    You can't really say as there are 4 or 5 products with this price :)

    ... and if your product's gravity is LOW, chances are it is the same! :p

    Thanks, but It took me about 20 articles to actually start getting decent amount of clicks :)

    As I previously mentioned, English is my 5th language - and I am not very good at it, so when article marketing - it is not HOW you write, it's WHAT you write.

    I believe that ANYONE could do it... The only thing I could suggest - if you have written bunch of articles and still haven't made a sale - WRITE SOME MORE
    and NEVER give up.

    My 45 articles made me over $1500 in December - imagine if I wasn't as lazy as I am and had 100-200 articles... I would be making $3000? $5000?

    Good luck and can't wait to hear about your success!

    Alex

    You have to write proper articles, you need to know HOW to write them.

    If don't know that, you can submit 100's of articles to directories, but you won't make a single dollar.

    It's not about how many you write, it's about HOW you write.

    I never said it's about how many :)

    I said it's about what you write - I meant it is not as much your Language skills that matter but the words and phrases you put into it.

    Call to Action is one of the examples.

    Interesting polemic. 45 articles resulting in 1500$ in affiliate sales is very impressive (it is so impressive that is very hard to believe in it). How many hits did you get from those articles? Do you post those articles on your web site or you submit them to the article directories?

    1500$ total.... let's say that you get 30$ from a sale on average. this would mean that you have to make 50 sales to get that amount. 50 sales... highly targeted traffic (is not just SE traffic, but those who are in the mood to buy) converts at the rate of anywhere from 40 to 200 visitors per sale. This would mean that your articles had to give you anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 highly targeted visitors... and all that happened in just one month. You are either a very lucky guy or know something that many of us have no clue about.

    Please refer to the first page of the thread to see my article stats!

    I submit mostly to EA.

    Some articles were also submitted to GoArticles, iSnare, Article Dashboard...

    I started in October and I didn't make the 1500$ the first month, nor the second... Only in December, and seems like I will get the same amount of commissions in January as well.

    I was lucky enough to have lots of free time - this is when I concentrated on research and Article Writing. I found some "OKAY" niches and tried different approaches as to writing my articles. Once I found what makes people click on my links - I wrote more articles using the same model.

    All my articles link to a Squidoo page - as I checked the Squidoo Lens gets about 2000 monthly visitors - 1500 from the articles and about 400 from Google and the other 100 from Yahoo, MSN, Microsoft combined.

    About 50% of the visitors click on the link leading to the merchant's page.

    That is about it.

    Well done Alex. Absolutely bum marketing is not dead. Congratulations on all the great votes for your articles too, very well done.

    While I choose to actually work full time in my normal "day job" because I love it, i have now created a part-time income of around $5000.00+ a month solely through bum marketing. I love it. Even having the cash to spend on adwords I don't.

    Warmly

    Colleen

    I have about 50 articles online - most are on Ezine Articles.

    Hey, Colleen!
    I have heard some of your success stories on other forums :)
    ...but $5.000/month - WOW! Do you keep on bumming now, or the 5k is pretty much automated?

    Whether Alex's story is true or not, it's very inspiring. I used to think Bum Marketing was useless but since reading Alex's testimony of its efficiency, I think I'll have another go at it. As I've said, this story is more inspiring that anything else.

    After reading through this entire thread, though, I suddenly want to be a member of WealthyAffiliate ;)
