“Bum” Marketing

One of the best web sites for beginning affiliate marketers is the Bum Marketing Method. This is a site run by a guy named Travis, who is an established affiliate marketer making a seven-figure annual income from his affiliate efforts. (Not too shabby!)

In order to access the information on the site, you have to sign-up for the mailing list. However not only can you unsubscribe at any time (and still access the site), but Travis’ messages are often fun and informative, so you’ll probably want to remain on the mailing list.

When you sign-up and access the site, you get a primer on one of the easiest ways to learn affiliate marketing — article marketing.

Article marketing (a.k.a. bum marketing) is simply researching products or services, writing informative articles about them, embedding your affiliate links, and posting the article to various article directories around the Internet.

Not only do I use article marketing as one of my methods, but it’s been the source for half of my profits to date. Best of all, article marketing is completely free. The only thing you’re out is your time and effort. So it really is a great way to get started.

I don’t want to take too much time discussing article marketing, because that information is explained much better over at Travis’ site. If you’re interested in getting into affiliate marketing, you really need to read the Bum Marketing Method.
