You Don’t Need Expensive Tools To Start Earning Online

The most influential product I ever bought was The Bum Marketing Method by Travis Sago back in 2008 when I was still a fresh-faced marketer.

The premise was simple, write articles, link to affiliate products, rinse and repeat.

Sound familiar?

The idea was that it was so simple that you could walk into a public library off the street, borrow one of their computers and make money.

It worked for many people.

The same can be achieved now more efficiently with much the same cost … Zero.

It’s always worth remembering that every cent you spend on tools is one more cent you need to earn to make a profit!

Here is today’s version of Bum Marketing, it’s simple and it will work for you.

Write Content

The cardinal rule is to write entertaining and/or informative content, because you want people to read your content and get as far as any links you may have.

Content first, promotion second.

This will work for your own offers or for affiliate links,so if you have an offer just substitute affiliate links for links to your own offers.
