The Crucial Flaw in Bum Marketing
Bum Marketing… insanely popular… yet there is one thing… a flaw in the system that pretty much makes it all worthless.
Bum Marketing - the name derives from the idea that you could take a complete bum off the streets, put him in a public library, and have him make money. Right?
Right. And therein lies the problem.
The freaking companies wouldn’t have any place to send the checks to! He’s a bum! He doesn’t have a home!!
OK, fine, it would work if he has a bank account and does the direct deposit thing, or he’s in a paypal affiliate program/network such as myHelpHub - but still.
Just thought that was kind of funny, lol sorry.
The ACTUAL flaw in standard bum marketing is that you don’t have much control.
Unless you have your landing page on your own domain you don’t have any control over it and you can’t make the layout look EXACTLY like you want it on something like blogger or squidoo.
Eventually you want to get more serious with your own domains and stuff like that anyway, so why not start immediately and make more money in the long run.
I’m pretty much leaving traditional bum marketing as it is now, and moving on to something else that is a lot more powerful and completely hands off once it’s done. It’s a niche domination type of thing…
See ya,

Fully agree.
That’s why you should only USE those “fucking web two point oh” websites, but not 100% rely on them.
Instead host your own blog.
