Article Marketing-- can I succeed?

[firewolf08]

For those of you that have tried the Bum Marketing method, I'd like to hear from you! I am currently in the midst of several different projects that all require my attention because they'll allow me to make money right now, but I am actually looking very seriously into starting a Bum Marketing project. I've ready numerous e-books on it and believe that I could actually be very successful with it. Even more so, I'm reading all of these threads on Digital Point that have many success stories, which encourages me even more to get into the Bum Marketing business.

My questions is: how much money, realistically speaking, does anyone think that I can make by writing 15 affiliate articles per day and submitting them to major article directories like Ezine Articles? Of course I would submit them to more than just 2 or 3 article directories, but hopefully to more like 10 or 20. In addition, though, I would create Squidoo lenses, landing pages, and opt-in pages to build lists in order to market the affiliate products even more. So, I'm going to write 15 articles per day as well as do all the other stuff mentioned. If I am consistent in this, how much money do you think that I could realistically make if all of my articles are quality-written articles? Perhaps I could make $500 per week? How much have some of you made by simply doing Bum Marketing? I'd like to hear from pretty much every successful Bum Marketing story out there! Thanks!
