Bum marketing has gotten my attention lately because of the ease of deployment.  Anyone with half a mind can create articles, post them to directories, and set up linking to affiliate pages or cost per action sites.  It is one of the easiest ways I know of to make a decent living on the web.

Discussed here are some of the finer points of bum marketing.  The ease of this strategy is worth looking into for the serious marketer.

Drive on…

Bum marketing is one of the easiest, and free, ways to earn an online income!

Another term to describe Bum Marketing is Article Marketing. With that, I mean to say that you promote a product, or service, by writing an article about it. You then post that article on article sites, and use it in your email campaigns.

Travis Sago coined the term ‘Bum Marketing’ to indicate that it is free and easy to do.

Just remember that your main goal is to earn an income, that you are busy selling something.

And it all starts with Long Tail Keywords: a more in-depth search term, consisting of around four words. Lets take recipes as an example. You can search Google with recipes, and then see terms like ’seafood recipes for diabetics’. Thats it!

So, you have to do your research, to be successful at Bum Marketing: 1. Find a fairly popular search term, one that gets around 200 000 searches a month. Our example is ’seafood recipes for diabetics’. 2. Now, go to www.clickbank.com and click on Marketplace, top right. 3. Type ‘your search term’ (without the inverted commas) in the keyword section and hit search. 4. Select your product, with your Clickbank Affiliate ID, and save it in your word processor, where you’ll be typing you article. You might also want to cloak your affiliate link, just search Google for ‘free affiliate link cloaking software’. 5. Go to your favorite search engine, e.g. Google, and do research on your topic. Remember, you don’t have to be an expert on a topic to write about it, you just have to know how to do research. 6. Visit the different websites, and copy and paste relevant sections in your word processor. Do not leave it like that; you’ll just use ‘their’ work to come up with your own version. About two pages full shall do. 7. Work on your article, use your own words, and ensure that you have: a. An introduction, with definition. b. The body, with lots of small paragraphs. c. The conclusion of your topic. d. Your Resource Box, which is a brief introduction to yourself, and a direct link to your website or blog. 8. Go to www.ezinearticles.com, and others you prefer, and submit your article for revision. 9. Promote your article on your website, and in your emails, and wait for the money to come in.

Wonderful! Congratulations on becoming a Bum Marketer!
