    Easy marketing that even a bum could do. All you need is a computer and some basic writing skills.

    I read the full lesson from Travis. It was a very nice idea. His website get indexed very well and you can use it to promote your own website.

    Just a same concept with other article writing site, but with some features.
    : )

    As mentioned above Bum Marketing is a term for a method of article marketing coined by Travis Sago. Basically his point is that it so easy and inexpensive that even a bum could do it.

    In fact he has plans to take a homeless person off the streets and show them how to turn a profit without any cost.

    Liberation - I assume you have already signed up for an affiliate program and chosen a product.

    The product will have a sales page or website. In your articles you need to link to the sales page or site. When a person gets there through your link and buys the product you get a commission.

    Now it should be pointed out that many article directories only allow you to put a link in the resource/bio box of your article and required that you link to
    your own site or blog. ezinearticles.com has this requirement.

    Others like goarticles.com will allow you to place a link that goes directly to the products sale page.

    Bum Marketing is just one marketing method that requires no investment.

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry you have me a little confused.

    If you are not selling anything or promoting anything, then you will not make money. Unless you write articles and submit them to article directories that pay.
