We were in Punta Cana, just in a resort. We have seen a little bit of the area..pretty poor.

Thanks for the welcome. I hope to have a great time in college. That really cool that you have been to thge Dominican! What part where you in?

Baxter

Yes! It is a very sad place, beautiful, but sad. I was so glad to help.

Hi Baxter,
Here is what bum marketing is: go to www.bummarketingmethod.com
It is a site (everything is given free) made by Travis Sago. He explains several techniques you can use to do internet marketing without having to spend a dime. The method gets its name from a comment his wife made that Travis's method is so easy and so cheap that you could take any bum off the street, literally, and teach him how to make money with this method. Take a look at it and see what you think. Watch all his vid's too. And if you sign up for his free newsletter, he will keep sending you more and more info. Sometimes he does send you a link for something that costs money but you don't have to sign up for any. In fact, it was his link to wealthyaffiliate that I used to get here.
Also, you can recognize Travis here at WA. In the forum on his space you can find a picture of him and his wife but he keeps his WA Space blocked probably because he would get too many questions. However, he is high on the list of people who have contributed and when you see his name at the top of the contributor's list or in the sharezone, he usually just has the question mark for a picture. Also, he's been on board here at WA since 2006 or something like that. There are 1or2 other Travis's here but that's how you can tell its Travis Sago.
ANy other questions, please let me know. In fact, since we're both a little shy at trying IM for the first time, maybe we can pick a method and take the plunge at the same time. Then we can compare notes about what worked and what didn't and why. And try again. What do you think? (If we use free marketing we won't lose any $$)

It doesn't get away from the 8 week plan at all. It isn't the same though, either. However, even Kyle and Carson recommend letting IM pay for itself. Sometimes in the forum they recommend doing bum marketing methods to get some money started to pay for other methods. Also, they support Travis's methods and he supports theirs. They are great friends. No hurt feelings there for using another method to get started. Also, you will notice in the forum that many of the people making money started out bum marketing, and in fact still do a lot of bum marketing along with their other paid ventures.
Still sound like a plan?
Peggy

OK. You're on. You do some reading up on bum marketing and I will do some more and we will formulate our first plan of attack and then...do it. At the same time. Then together we'll analyze our results and go for it again. This may be the motivation I need to get out of the thinking and not doing cycle.
Yeah!
Peggy

Hi Baxter,
I know you are very busy with getting back to school.
I thought I would leave you a note here to greet you with when you get back here. ;-)
Peggy

Yah! Lets do it! I kind if need to read up a bit more on BM though. This is Great!

Baxter

Thanks for the welcome man. Its is great to see how friendly this place really is. Also if you have any good insights about starting off the best way, please, share. I would love to have people teach me the ropes of this whole thing, so i can lean as much as possible.

Baxter

You are welcome! Stay focused and work hard.

Thankse for the welcome John. I sure do hope i can learn a lot.

Baxter

Hello again. You asked have I been pretty successful in the two months I've been here...and the answer is emphatically YES, though not monetarily yet. I have some articles out there...but no sales yet. I haven't really hit "article marketing" that hard because I've discovered something(at least from my own experience.) It appears that once you get out of the realm of "Clickbank", most merchants want a website, business name, etc...I decide to focus all my efforts on building the perfect website with hundreds of merchants. So...yes I've been successful in the sense that I just filed my company name and I'm ready to rock!

What's up friend...you asked about the gold I have. I got it through submitting 2 Share Zone resources. I don't know how familiar you are with the Share Zone, but you can submit tools, resources, ebooks, or other resources that you think will help other WA members. People will then give you gold if it helps them at all. It's really cool.

Thanks for the welcome Eric. This whole thing is kind of crazy at first. If you have any insight about whats the right way to go when starting off, please, share. I want to learn as much as possible. I see that you have been on here for a few months. Have you been pretty successful?

Baxter

Thats great! I am glad you have been successful. How exactly did you get all that gold you have there?
