So incase you haven’t realized it yet I did the Bum marketing experiment in the past…6 months ago to be exact. So here are my results from November 2007 to May 2008.

I wrote 5 different articles all on a subject I’m familiar with so the content would be valuable enough so the readers would click through to the URL provided. 4 of the articles were accepted, but 1 article would not be accepted no matter how hard I tried (I still don’t know why they wouldn’t accept it).

The articles were viewed 1,006 times and of those viewers 134 of them were interested enough to actually visit the website. Of the 134 visitors 16 came from EzineArticles.com website and the rest came from Google searchers. Out of all the visitors I made 1 sale, which is normal for Google Money Pro’s conversion rate (it usually converts 1:100 – 1:200 visitors).
So does it work? Yes, it definitely works.

Is it worth it? Maybe…then again maybe not.
Even though I did manage to make one sale, it took me 5 hours of work to get that. Because of this, it didn’t make this worth my time, but it was interesting to see how everything works. If you have zero resources to invest then this may be a good way to start your internet marketing ventures. Also, as with most things, if you keep working at it you will learn how to become better and more profitable with the strategies. I definitely think that if you worked very hard at this you would be able to make $100 per week, but I think that $1,000 per month would be stretching it for just about anyone.
