Default BUM Book

My curiosity got the better of me - Glenn didn't let the cat out of the bag until I bought. I have to figure where the bum went and test it out as it seems pretty easy and straightforward. As Bozo noted, one does have to live in a populated area of a certain demographic.

Default Re: YOUR OPINION - Which Book Will U Pay Cold Cash For?

I had no idea this would ignite such a heated conversation. I am glad it did. I am willing to pay a "curiosity fee" to see how this works, but not the amount wanted. As always, I gladly pay from profits already made. what is the secret?

I'm a firm believer in "paying it forward", but not so much as to take money out of a guy's pocket. Sorry, you'll have to do like I did and purchase at the given price.

Wow, Glenn's book now boils down to a "certain demographic". This is making it less appealing. I live in Reno, NV and we definitely are being inundated with a certain demographic. I wonder if that CD negates the technique? Of course if you like being robbed at gun point by this CD, any technique is alright.

Hmmm...

Default Never worried about my image when chatteling Skip.

apparently both you and Glenn were somewhat "skittish" about doing what a Bum does.

Don't know, don't care.

I've never been ashamed about chatteling. NEVER concerned about my image in the community, in fact, proud of it.

Even though you hauled down 80 bux an hour, it is apparently beneath you to do BUT you can't wait to sell it to other people.

I'm sorry, I don't get this at all. Maybe I have to spring for the report, but, no, that ain't gonna happen.

What happened to making a living the old fashioned way, with honest work, and when did selling stuff that you wouldn't do yourself, because you'd be ashamed to be seen doing it...when did the money become so important...oh, there is a money back guarantee, IF, the buyer actually provides some proof he at least went and acted like a bum...

NO THANKS Skip/Glenn.

And Glenn and I have made a nice daily profit for our tests. Disclaimer! I will not be working this method as a business like the Bum, but if I run across the right person in my area I will show him or her how and where I did the tests so he or she can earn some extra income.

Charlie,

Apparently there is a person on this thing called the Internet who doesn't believe in paying it forward. I did a google search on the term:

Street BUM $200 an Hour Secret

and found this site:

http://www.blackhatteam.com/f108/req...ret-79635.html

The author of the post apparently likes Glenn's work but is looking for information and/or the exact plot. In other words he or she wants to know what it is all about.

I then typed in:

How A Street BUM Bought A House for CASH & Makes 400.00 to 600.00 Seven Days a Week

and found:

http://xtrememind.com/2500Monthly.pdf

http://video.forbes.com/fvn/byb/forg...barter-instead

Neither of these 2 links refer to Glenn's book. However, the pdf tells you all about Bum Marketing Travis Sego style and how to make 2500 a month. The second link is a forbes link that speaks about bartering. A guy could use this idea if he is into helping local businesses increase their business.

By the way none of the above links are affiliate links. Yes, I did use Glenn's title and subtitle off his sales page to do my search. It didn't make sense to use any other "keywords" so to speak.

There you have it. All the information that could have revealed the hidden secret. Personally, I like the idea of sitting on your ass holding a sign that says:

Will Work For Food

and look each passerby in the eye and force them to donate. That's magic. But, again, I'm not equipped to do that.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Gordon, Thank you for your opinion.

This IS honest work.

I choose other work over this work as a full time job.

Another person might choose this work.

Are they right or am I. Both are right.

Opinions come in all sizes.

The image of a Bum come in all sizes.

You have yours and I have mine.

Best of success,

Skip Rosell

Yea, the Bum Marketing in that reference has absolutely nothing in common with Glenn's book; it's just a gimmicky name for article marketing.

Gimmicky certainly covers the offering. Have to admit though, Travis did latch onto a cute saying that made him a small fortune

Default Skip, are you saying this BUM thing can be a full time JOB????

Well, I'm going to keep giving my opinions then...

I just quoted YOU Skip, I don't care one way or the other, but when
someone says they were concerned about their IMAGE in the community and that whatever you do at the gas station may have some people think of you a certain way...

Yet, less than a day goes by and I get your affiliate offer.
So, it seems, you won't do this honest albeit "shameful" work, yet you can't wait to send this to your list solely because you think it will make you a ton of money.
That's about as far from HONEST as it gets. Skip, tell you what, send me another email which clearly states you tried it, made money but were concerned about your image OR tell the potential buyer there is an element of the BUM technique which could make you look, in the eyes of your friends, family, customers (your community) like a real BUM, whatever and however you describe them.

In the first post, you say it's a business, and that carries with it certain inferrances, like TAXES and such, then it is a job.

In the last year of getting your newsletters I've not read of too many things that gives you this return on your time, so, it just begs the question in my mind, Why won't Skip do this simple easy 80 and hour money maker as opposed to one of his 30 dollar an hour money maker he writes about.

Do whaever job or business you Skip, no concern of mine, but if there is something shameful or shady or truly BUMmy about this, then that's a different story.

I'm just disappointed in you Skip, selliing something you are too embarassed to do yourself even though it could put a lot of buxs in your pocket.

Just an opinion, no need to respond, I get it, we have different takes on what is shady and what isn't.
