How bum marketing can make you money online (Part 2)

In yesterday’s article we covered the idea of bum marketing and what it is. The article also contained information on the reasons as to why people take this path and the advantages that come with it. This post however will follow-on from the first one and will explain in detail on the steps that were mentioned on how you can use bum marketing to make money online.

To recap, the steps were the following:

1) Find a market or business that has very little competition.
2) Look for a product within that market which comes with a good commission/affiliate plan.
3) Begin to write some articles on the product.
4) Submit your article to article directories such as ezine, goarticles, isnare and articlesfactory.

Finding a market with little competition

The most easiest and effective route to take here is to use Google as this IS the ‘king’ of search engines. You would need to enter a specific keyword or keyword phrase such as ‘lose weight’ or ‘building muscle’. However, if you type that in then the results for that will be endless resulting in a high number of links and that is NOT what we are looking for therefore in order to combat this, you should use Google’s keywords tool and enter the business name into the search box. Once the search has been completed, you will get a list of keywords which are related to what you typed into the box.

As we are looking for a market which as low competition, it would be a good idea to look for a keyword (out of the list) that has no more than 150 searches on a daily basis because the less competition = more chances of you gaining success with the product and making money off of it.

Looking for the right product

Once you have found the correct market, you would need to look for the right product and this can be done by using ClickBank. Different products will give you different commission payouts so make sure you choose one that is something reasonably good and that YOU will be happy promoting. ClickBank has thousands of products available to you therefore it shouldn’t be too hard in finding one.

Writing your articles

This is where we take it to the next level because some real thinking will actually be involved that is unless you get someone else to write your articles for you! You should write at least 5 articles on the product ensuring that you have the right keywords and relevant content. Furthermore, ensure that you have included your keyword/s in your title and that is something that grabs the public’s attention. For example would you click on a article title that says ‘make money online’ or a title that says ‘5 effective methods of making $100 online in 10 days’? Most would choose the second.

You need to start off your article with something that will persuade the reader to continue reading and not press the back button on their browser or the little ‘x’ in the corner. The main body of your article should contain the advantages of the product/business and how it can benefit the reader. Lastly, you should also make sure that your article is no more than 600 words and no less than 400 and within each paragraph, you have included your keyword at least once.



Submitting your articles

This doesn’t really need much explanation as it is pretty self-explanatory. There are loads of article directories online and some of these have been mentioned at the beginning of the article. Here they are again though- Ezine, Goarticles, Isnare and Articlesfactory just to name a few.

Overall then bum marketing is a pretty simple concept to understand as well as implement. It is a good way of making money online and even though you won’t make millions or even 5 figures you could be making a nice amount that could help you in many ways.
