Bum Marketing Method - Bum Marketing Exposed Part II

Continuing my post from yesterday, here are some tips for
finding success using the bum marketing method.

If you are searching for key words on "acne cures" using
the bum marketing method you might want to search for
"acne cure tips" and you will find about 145 searches were
done for that key word phrase but there are no articles in
the top 10 google results for that term -- a good sign.

Next you will want to write up a simple 250-300 word article
that contains the key word phrase "acne cure tips".

When using the bum marketing method try and put the keyword
within the article atleast 7-9 times for maximum results.

You should place the key word in the title of your article
as well as in the first and second paragraph.

Then make sure your article contains useful content on your
key word topic and is not just an ad for your product.

Use a resource box at the bottom of your article that will
direct the readers to your product page.

With the bum marketing method, your resource box will be
nothing more than a three to five line classified ad for
the product.

You will then want to search for a few article directories
to submit your article to.

One of the best article directories for the bum marketing
method is http://ezinearticles.com

You can find more by searching for "article directories"
on http://google.com

You will want to try and write three articles per day for
the key words on your product topic in order for the bum
marketing method to give you maximum results.

Submit the articles to a few article directories and watch the
traffic and sales start to come in.

The bum marketing method does work and has been proven
over and over again.

Article Marketing And List Building For Success

Out of all the ways to build an opt in list of susbscribers,
article marketing has to be one of the best.

Why is it the best? Actually there are many reasons why
article marketing is great for list building.

Some of them are:

1 - Writing articles doesn't cost you any money. However it
does cost you time.

But the good thing is, once you start writing articles, your
abilities improve and you can crank out 10 or more per day.

The more articles you write, the more traffic and subscribers
you receive.

2 - Article marketing builds a very responsive list of
subscribers who have already shown interest in your niche.

By taking the time to read your article, click to your web
site, and enter their name and email address, these people will
be more responsive to your offers and emails.

As long as your give them useful information mixed in with
great products, your profits will soar.

3 - Articles produce a sense of trust in the reader. After
reading an original article that you've written, it's as
though you have personally sat down with the reader and
talked with them one on one.

Building trust is a key element in your list building
efforts.

If your subscribers do not trust you, they simply will not
respond to you or purchase from you.

That is why your articles must be written as if you were
simply talking to a friend about your topic. Just like the
article you are reading right now.

Affiliate Marketing...3 Fool Proof Steps

A very quick way to get started making money on the
internet is with affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is simply advertising products
that you do not own and get a percentage of each
sale you refer.

Getting started is very simple.

Step #1 - Pick a product. Since you don't need your
own product, you'll have to have access to as many
different topics or products as you can.

The best place to find products to promote is by visiting
http://clickbank.com

Sign up as an affiliate. It's free.

Then visit the ClickBank Market Place where you'll
find hundreds of information products on a variety
of subjects.

Pick a topic and product that gets you excited.

Visit the sales page or website for your choice and
sign up as an affiliate.

The affiliate signup link can normally be found near
the bottom of the product website.

Sometimes you'll find the signup link at the top right
hand site.

The link usually says "affiliates" or "make money".

The very best websites and affiliate progams will have
pre-written ads, keywords, banners, etc.

Ideally you'll want to find a product that pays out
at least 50% or more on each sale.

Step #2 - Now that you've got a product, you'll want
to start getting the word out to as many people as
possible, and this is how you'll make money with
affiliate marketing.

You can setup an account with google adwords over at
http://google.com

What you'll do is write up a tiny, powerful ad that
google will show in the paid search section. Ideally,
your chosen product will have these ads already pre-
written for you.

You then compile a list of highly targeted keywords
on your product topic.

Keywords are nothing more than search terms your
potential customer will use to find information on
the subject or your product.

Having laser targeted keywords is crucial to making money
with affiliate marketing using this method.

Your ad should be short, powerful, and create desire.

You're bids should be kept as low as possible as to not
lose alot of money while trying to make a profit.

Also remember to keep your daily ad budget set low when
you're first starting out.

This way you can test your ads, keywords, product, etc.

Once you find a product that will produce at least a one
percent sales rate(1 for every 100 targeted visitors)
you can then raise your bids, find new keywords, write and
test new ads, etc.

To really make money with google adwords, you'll want
to consistently repeat this process for other products
you find.

Keep adding to your product portfolio and watch your
profits soar!

Step #3 - Start a blog. You can start a simple blog
and do reviews of the products you chose.

You can start a blog for free at
http://blogger.com

People love reviews. Good or bad you can still make
sales with affiliate marketing as long as you're not
giving reviews that are dishonest.

You can research for other reviews on your product
topic, or look for articles to post to your blog.

Then include your affiliate link to send your blog readers
to the sales site of the product(s).

If they buy, you make money.

The above 3 steps will help you start making some sales
with your affiliate marketing.

The 2008 Massive Free Traffic Quest

Well, in keeping with my annual tradition I've decided to make some New Year's resolutions. Among the list of "usual suspects" like getting healthier, losing a few pounds, etc. I've also made some pretty aggressive goals for my online business.

One of these goals is this....I resolve to create Massive Free Traffic to this blog -- and for a few reasons:

#1 - I have spent hours researching the resources and creating the posts for this blog, and I truly feel that the information provided here is of benefit to others interested in marketing online. Therefore, I'd like as many people as possible to be exposed to this blog.

#2 - I'm obviously committed to building a thriving online business and the key to all forms of marketing is massive numbers of people being exposed to your offer(s). The great thing about blogging, however, is that you get to provide useful content to your audience as part of the marketing process, rather than simply clubbing folks over the head with "sales information".

#3 - I'm always up for a good challenge, and creating something from nothing is always a good one. Since I refuse to pay for traffic, I realize that I'll need to provide consistent quality content, in addition to utilizing creative online traffic generation methods, in order to create the desired traffic to this blog.

So, here is the action plan to achieve the desired result...

First, I will continue to regularly post the best information I can provide regarding online marketing and income generation methods.

Secondly, I will be utilizing as many traffic generation methods as possible. Many of these will come directly from information learned over the past year or so. Probably the best traffic guide I've come across recently is Michelle MacPhearson's Social Media Daily and I will using many if not all of her methods here.

I will be posting my traffic stats on a weekly basis, so there will be a nice time trail left with regards to what is working -- and how well. As I implement new methods, I will post them so that new and returning visitors will have a "free traffic generation" path laid out for them.

Again, it's all about providing Good Content...

As an initial baseline, here are my traffic stats for the previous week:










Obviously not lighting the world on fire, but it's a starting point. Now it's time to get to work.

Thus far I've been posting regularly, submitting to directories at VileSilencer as well as QUIT, and I've created an account at AboutUs.

Today, I will be creating an account at DayTipper and posting a tip there as well.

So, the quest has begun. Stay tuned for weekly updates - and come back often.

I've been told that the only way to eat an elephant (i.e. Massive Free Traffic) is one bite at a time.

I have my fork in hand....

Gather as much useful information on the product as
you can. Do a search on google.com and read other reviews
of the product.

Once you've compiled this information, you'll want
to write up an article.

The article you write should contain a great review
of your chosen product, or you can write an article

You're article must be a review or "how-to" style
just like the article you're reading now.

Just make sure the article is not an ad and that it

At the end of your article, place a 4-5 line resource
box which is nothing more than an ad for the very
product you're writing about.

Make sure you place your affiliate link in the box
so you get paid for any sales that come through.

Third, once you've finished the article, you then
want to submit it to a bunch of article directories.

You can find dozens of them by searching google with
the term "article directories".

Your article will end up on the internet and read
by many people who are interested in your topic.

After they read your article, they will see your
resource box, read the ad and click your affiliate
link.

If they like the product, and buy, you get a sales
commission.

Try writing at least one article per day on your
topic and submitting it to as many directories as
possible.

This is a very simple, no cost way to make money on
the internet.
