There's a buzz surrounding the term "bum marketing" in the Blogosphere. Bum Marketing refers to methods used to market a blog or website that require little or no capital to start. There are LOADS of ways to market a blog, website, or product for peanuts. All it takes is a little thinking outside of the box.
