Bum Marketing Easy As 1,2,3

Making money on the internet is a great profession if you want to set your own hours and commit some time to learning "How The Internet Works". In fact to make money on the internet you can literally spend no money to make money. There are tools and information all over the web that will teach and aid you for making money online. Another great thing about the web is that you can virtually target 1,000,000 person audience with a few clicks of your mouse.

There are various methods you use to make money online. When first starting out though I suggest you start somewhere simple and do not spend any money when you first start. I highly suggest this because you can easily become frustrated and will wounder why it is not working.

Affiliate Marketing is one of they greatest places to start when you want to make money on the internet. You do not need a product, so there will be no costs or risk involved. I believe this is the best place to start because you must first build your foundation when you starting adventuring and the treacherous land of Internet Marketing. By using affiliating marketing techniques you will learn how to Build Successful Websites, Drive Traffic To These Websites, Capture Emails, and all that comes with internet marketing.

Step 1. Research a niche that will be profitable and you will have interest learning about. When you first start out you will need to spend anywhere between 1-2 hours just researching and studying your niche. Do not skip this part because if you write about your niche and you do not know anything about it, you will sound like a mumbling idiot and will not build a relationship with any of your clientell.

Step 2. Set up a website with the information you have acquired from studying your new niche. If you do not wish to buy and create a website, you can simply use Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. You want to create a quality website with information that people will want to read and come back for more. Make sure that you update frequently. Not only people enjoy this but the search engines do to.

Step 3. After you have significant traffic coming in and want to start making money from your website you have created. You can then start to promote a product that is related to your niche. If you have a quality website people will be returning to learn more of what you have to offer.

Quick Tip: When you create your website make yourself sound like an expert. Do not say words like I think and I am not sure. This will make you lost trust with the people who are visiting your website.

Creating an Effective Landing Page

There is no need for one to have brilliant programming skills to be able to create a simple landing page for Bum Marketing.

The easiest way to do this would be to set up a blog at Blogger.com. It’s free and again, idiot-proof. Just follow the instructions on the site and you can have a blog up and running in a few minutes.

The advantage of using Blogger over other blogging platforms is that Blogger allows you to place ads and affiliate links on your blogs.

Of course, more advanced bum marketers use their own domain and hosting for their websites or landing pages. This will have its own advantages but no need to expound on that here. When you are just starting out, there is really no need for this. More than one bum has reported that even a simple blog serves its purpose and that they have earned thousands of affiliate commissions without paying for a domain name and hosting.

Your landing page should be more of a content page where the visitor can either read useful content where you insert your affiliate links. The purpose here is to pre-sell to the buyer so that when he or she clicks on your link and lands on the merchant’s page, he is already conditioned to buy the product. No need for a long dramatic dissertation here. A few words about the product or the niche in general is sufficient. Avoid hard selling. If you would like to put up a review of the product, it is always best to come out like you’re doing an unbiased review.

Some bum marketers use an opt-in form for their landing page. This is also a very effective technique as you can build a list and could sell to that list again and again in the future.

Choosing Your Bum Marketing Niche:

Let’s take it one baby step at a time.

In this chapter, you will learn how to choose a profitable niche. There will be a lot to choose from and this may be a little confusing at the onset but certain criteria will be followed. It is actually just a numbers game. Like in any other business, we look at the figures first.

If the numbers look right, it’s a go. If not, we move on to another niche.

First, you need to download a free keyword research tool called Good Keywords. If you dislike to download any software, you can also go use NichebotClassic. Basically, we need to find out how many searches a keyword gets in a month and compare that to the competition.

As an example, let’s take the key phrase “how to relieve sinus headache”. It gets around 41 searches in a month. Not much, but then look at the competition. Type the same keyword phrase in quotes in Google and you see only 8 competing sites! It simply means that the lesser the competition, the better. Now we have the keyword.

You can always find variations to your phrase. There’s also “how to relieve sinusitis”, “get rid of sinus headache” and such related terms. There’s always a great chance that you find several good keywords in a certain niche so take note of all of those.

Although we get many eureka moments when we find such keywords, it is always advisable to start out researching 3-5 niches in the beginning. This way, we can compare which niche is the most profitable and concentrate all your bum marketing efforts on that.

Another thing we need to do is to check the Adwords ads that Google displays on the right hand side of the web page when we do a search for our keyword. It is an indication that money is being generated in the niche where you just did a search on.

So now you have your niches and your keywords. The next logical step is to find products in that particular niche.

You will want to find affiliate products you can promote for your niche. For this purpose, you can go to Clickbank, where you can begin marketing affiliate products. But first you need to find a good product to earn money from. You have options in choosing the best product to promote. You can go for new products, those with low popularity, or the ones with the most commission. Clickbank is not the only place where you can find affiliate programs. Other places you can go to are Commission Junction, PayDotCom, LinkShare and Shareasale. Many vendors also run their own affiliate programs. You can search for your niche topic in Google and then take a look at some of the merchants’ websites you find to see if they provide an affiliate program where you can sign up and earn commissions from.

There are also several other affiliate program directories where you could start looking for new products to promote. The two best known are AssociatePrograms.com AffiliateMatch.com. These are both very essential resources where you can get ideas on which affiliate programs would appeal to you.

Now, you have your niche, your keywords and affiliate program options.

Bum Marketing Introduction

Are you one of those struggling people trying to make money online? Have you fallen victim to scavengers of cyberspace who only want money from you in exchange for all babble and nothing really useful? Have you been spinning your wheels on the thousands of crap that is literally flooding the internet? Have you almost emptied out your pockets to pay for $97 ebooks that never really teach you anything except to doubt the next ebook that comes your way including this?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, read on.

There’s a new, easy and time-saving way to make you truly earn money online, without – we emphatically repeat - WITHOUT shelling out a single cent. This tried and tested, honest and straightforward method of making money online offers a fresh twist to internet marketing.

It’s called the BUM Marketing Method.

Don’t get fooled by the lingo used. “Bum” may indeed refer to a lazy derelict but when coupled with “marketing” and “method,” now, that is another story all too entirely! It means a style, a way of marketing designed for people who are lazy by nature, but who still rightfully have the audacity to claim their chance at making money in the fastest and easiest way possible. Contrary to what most conventional stiff-collared CEOs who took ten years to finish their Ph.Ds only to climb the metaphorical – not to mention the literal – corporate ladder, anyone can make himself rich – filthy rich – without:
beating the morning traffic - The traffic we shall be talking about here in this ebook would be another kind of traffic, one that is most welcomed and sought after.
Getting up from bed - Let’s talk about passive income later, shall we?
Spending for any college degree only to find yourself broke many times over after!
Elbowing, fighting and climbing ladders, metaphorical or otherwise. The only ladder we’ll be climbing here would be to enjoy the Mediterranean sunset from way up over on your Santorini home.

Let us see how this can be done and start out with what Bum Marketing Method (a.k.a. “The Fastest and Easiest Method To Making Money For The Laziest Person Around”)

The Bum Marketing Method lays out step by step all the very simple things that you need to do so you can start earning money online and keep making it even without batting an eyelash (passive income). This method is unlike many of the others out there that literally brag about providing the most effective way of marketing on the internet, yet tell you absolutely nothing that you can learn from and only want to sell you something.

The bum marketing method is all about the extremely effective ways you can turn a profit by merely getting a message (in the form of an ad or article) posted on major search engines – all for free. Bum marketing teaches you how to make your first sale and most importantly, teaches you how to keep on doing the highly successful approach until you begin earning a full time income.

In essence, learn, implement, rinse and repeat.

The bum marketing method will also teach you the fundamental money making skills even if you don't run a website and even if you have no programming abilities. And if you have spare time, you can spend an hour or two of it lucratively by using the power of bum marketing to catapult you into a new environment devoid of your boss and career slavery.

Most of all, the bum marketing method is all about a simple, uncomplicated plan that lets you earn $1,800 a month within 90 days, without you laying out precious dollars. Your only investment would probably be stressed-out and blistery fingers courtesy of all the typing you'll be doing and a pair of bulging eyes due to the initial uninterrupted gazing into your computer monitors for hours. (Don’t worry, you’ll be needing the same pair of eyes to count your bank account digits in a while.)

Bum Marketing has helped thousands of people earn their very first paychecks with no start up capital. This course offers information more useful than the others who ask to be paid a significant amount of money before providing information that doesn’t even yield practical and genuine solutions to making regular income online.

Do you want to learn the secret that not a lot of people are really aware of, let alone mention? Read on and you will discover these profitable and worthwhile techniques all in one sitting.
