You can also do what is called "gravity bleed".
Make sure you keep the master cylinder full at all times. If it goes dry, then you have to bleed right from the master cylinder. And that can be a pain!
With the master cylinder full and all the bleeders open, just let gravity do it's job. You will actually see air bubbles coming out of the bleed screws when you the fluid starts coming out. Be patient...gravity works wonders. If you don't see fluid coming out, wait. I assure you it will start coming out.
Disadvantage? If you have paint on your calipers, the brake fluid will eat the paint off as it rolls over them.
You also used to be able to get "self bleeding kits" from parts stores. It was a kit that had a hose, or hoses, you could "clamp" onto the bleeder, then run it away from the caliper, or submerge it into a container of brake fluid and slowly work the pedal yourself. I prefer the gravity bleed method, then get a friend to help you with a quick bleed at each wheel to make doubly sure all the air is out.
If you're going to bleed them the conventional way, start with the wheel farthest away from the master cylinder and work your way to the one closest to the master cylinder.
Hope this helps!
