The Secrets of Bum Marketing Article Magic
By now you should know the only way to succeed as a bum marketer is to learn how to write great articles. Think about it. There are literally millions of articles already in syndication on the Web.
Even if you select the best keyword, and search engine optimize your article, there is absolutely no guarantee anyone is going to read whatever it is you have to offer. Why?
Because you may not know how to write. Worse, you may write too slowly. So your first lesson is about this: how to write quickly. Secret #1 involves fast writing. Fast, good and reliable writing.
When you accomplish this, you become an instant hit at bum marketing.
Super Fast Writing
It sounds simple I know. Anyone can write an article right?
WRONG.
In fact, many people hit the panic button and drop out of bum marketing, losing the potential to earn millions of dollars just because they do not know how to write a good article, or worse, it takes them too long to write an article.
Think about it. Ask yourself how many of you sit there and take 4 hours to write one article? If you want to win at bum marketing, that is simply something you cannot do or you will not make any money at all. You need to churn out at the very minimum FIVE articles an hour, at least.
If you get really good, you can write even more. Someone adept at writing SEO optimized articles can easily write five to ten articles in one hour or a bit more.
Self Doubt Leads To Failure…
Do not “think” yourself out of success.
Think you cannot write that many articles… good, valuable, and interesting articles that will bring in lots of extra cash… well you are wrong.
YES, you can.
Now that is something a TRUE bum marketer can do. Here is an important secret, one you simply must know to get ahead.
Speed is essential when it comes to bum marketing. Your articles do NOT have to be great (but they do have to be good, you do want people to read them and click through after all). They cannot be utter rubbish, but they do not have to be masterpieces of Pulitzer Prize award stature.
You don’t have to win an award when writing articles for bum marketing. Here are the keys to a good article.
Good Article Writing – The Fast & Furious Way
Here is what separates the winners from the losers. While you do not have to be a writing expert, you do have to write a decent article, but one you can whip up in a few minutes.
Here are some essential “ingredients” of a good article:
1. It has a great headline.
2. People can skim it easily, so you want multiple subheads throughout your article.
3. Your taglines and lead-ins should be catchy, so they grab the reader’s attention and get them wanting to read more.
4. Your article should contain bullets, so your reader can easily skim through your article, pick out the pieces they want and move on.
Good article writing isn’t rocket science. But you do not write an article on the Web the same way you write an article for a book.
If you write an article with long and boring paragraphs, no one is going to get to the end of the article and click through your affiliate link.
Why? Your article is hard to read. Remember, the computer is hard on the eyes.
Which is easier to read? An article where you break up information using headlines, subhead and bullets (see this example) or one where the information is crammed into one run-on sentence?
Remember, you are not writing a novel here, you are writing a short article.
Highlight the key points of your article. Keep it short, sweet and to the point.
Lastly, make your reader want more. That is the reason they click through your link.
If I can write, you can too. In fact, I have shown my mother, my sister, my father, my best friend, my girlfriend and many others how to write articles in a matter of minutes and I am going to show you as well.
You already know most of what you need to know if you read the highlighted section above.
Not Thinking Is Key
Here is another secret to great article writing no one will tell you. The secret to writing articles fast is not thinking. Don't sit there and think about the article for 10 minutes before writing it. Just start writing.
If you sit there and think about it, you will toss out one idea after the next. You will always have the chance to find something wrong with your article, even if there is nothing wrong with it.
Most people get “writer’s block” only when they think too hard about what it is they are trying to write.
What you need to engage in is what I call “stream of conscious writing.”
It doesn't matter what topic it is, just start writing. Write whatever comes off the top of your head related to the subject at hand, even if it is an indirect lead in to what you have to say.
You will find the more you start writing, the easier it is for the words to flow.
Make Research Easy
The only source I use for research is Ezinearticles.com. Now, I am not going to say this is the best and only place to research articles and information, but it certainly is a convenient place to find information and more importantly, find keywords for articles people search for.
What I do is get the list of keywords I want to write articles for, and then go to Ezinearticles.com and search the articles for topics similar to mine.
How do you get keywords?
Keyword Searching & Search Optimization
If you want to know what people want to read about, then you have to conduct a keyword search. There are many ways you can go about doing this.
The simplest and easiest way is to do it free. Use the Keyword Search Term Tool provided by Overture. It is the most popular source of keywords on the Net today, and it costs nothing.
Just go to http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
You can also just type in http://inventory.overture.com/
You will get to the same place. What you will see is mostly a blank page with a box. Type in the word or words you think people might be interested in or the subject of your “would-be” article.
Then, all you have to do is click go. The search tool will tell you how many people searched for a keyword or a term during the last 30 days or so.
The more people that search for a term, the more likely you are to get people to read your material. A good hint is any term that people search for that has 10,000 or more hits in a month.
If you come on a term that has 100,000 or more hits in a month, all the better, however the more people you have looking for a term, the more competition their will be. You will notice however too, that when you use this too, you can get a list of other similar terms people search for.
Use some of these terms and see if you can’t come up with some great ideas for articles or for keywords you should incorporate into your own articles.
Most people do not realize the most important fact that exists about article writing.
Most of the work you have to do is done for you…
Look at other people’s articles and see what they’ve written about. Find out what people are searching for on the Web using tools like the selector tools at overture.
What you are doing is basically rewriting other successful articles. Now, you are not PLAGIARIZING. Naturally. This is NOT legal. You are creating original works, but referencing the work of others for ideas so you can create a better article.
Does this make sense? You do not have to become Einstein. You do not have to become a rocket scientist. You do not have to come up with the next best and greatest idea.
Most are already taken. Your job is essentially that of an article re-writer. Every article topic imaginable has been written for you at Ezinearticles.com. There are millions of articles listed here, and all contain links or resource boxes to other people’s affiliate sites or information.
As you can see, there are already a lot of people aspiring to be bum marketers. Take advantage of this system, exploit it and rise above your competition. It is the simplest way to get ahead in the industry.
Read an article, and then write your own article. Fill in the gaps. Find out what benefits you need to include the original author didn’t mention. Don’t copy, create an original work. Just make it unique, different and better than the competition.
It's that simple.
Remember, you do not have to create a best-selling article. You are not an expert writer at this point, and you may never aspire to be. Why would you, especially if your career aspirations include being a bum marketer? The keyword here is “bum”. You do not want to do a LOTof hard work.
You want to do it quickly and easily.
Write them quickly.
QUICK. Write quickly. Write like lightning. Force yourself to sit down and write and not move until you have 5-articles done every hour.
If you spend more than ten minutes writing any one article, you spent too much time on your article; you set yourself up for failure.
Why do you want to do that? Now, I am not saying this will happen overnight. It will involve some practice. You can do it however.
Try by writing your first five articles. See how long it takes you. In fact, make that your first assignment.
First, go to:
Search for articles on the topic you want to write about. When you find the articles, scan them quickly. Do a quick search for keywords.
Then churn out five original articles based on the information you find. Congratulations, you are on your way to becoming a successful bum marketer. Now, how long did that take you?
With practice, it will take you ten minutes or less to write an article. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen, this much I promise.
Why I say this is because the bum marketer with the most articles out there getting hits and traffic is going to win. To win, you don't need the best articles, you need the most articles.
Understand this.
YOU need to be the most prolific writer out there to win.
YOU NEED TO WRITE THE MOST ARTICLES.
The more articles you have, the more articles people are going to read. The more articles people read, the more click-through links you will get, and the more money you will make. That is how the system works.
Keep It Simple AND Short
If you want to write fast articles, you are not going to write long articles. They are going to be short – one page articles at the most usually. That is fine, because most people do not pay enough attention to read longer articles anyway, no matter what anyone tells you.
You can buy automated articles or spinners. I do not use auto generated content or article spinners. I do not think this is the best way to make money. Sure, it is an easy way. But eventually people are going to catch on to the fact the same material is being circulated round and round.
That isn’t going to make a good impression now is it? Not if you want to make good money. I take my time (really, because it does not take much time) to write original articles.
In fact, every article I write is unique. Every article adds value to the Ezinearticles.com directory (yes, I do add my articles to this directory because people refer to it all the time) and give readers the information they need.
Now remember, you have to write a good quality article, but not a long article. All you need to do is put something together that is 350 words to 500 words. I don't use big words, I give them the information they wanted, and I give it to them quickly.
Use simple words, as if you were writing to an eighth grader. That way you won’t confuse your reader and you will encourage them to read on. Quite simply, you want to offer quality information in as concise a way as possible.
No fluff. One or two pages of hard-hitting good information and you will enter the winner’s circle before you know it.
Imagine being able to get out 50 articles a day.
Don’t think you can’t. If you work just 5 hours, you can crank out that many articles. If you get really good, you can do that in less time.
Let's say you do that 5 days a week.
That's 250 articles a week, and that translates into a lot of money. This is very doable, even part time. Most people out there have to work eight to ten hour days, I am talking about putting in five or less hours. To be the best bum marketer out there, you can't expect to win by doing less then your competition.
You need to work harder then your competitors.
You only have to do this for 6 months or 12 months full time and you will have a nice on going income for many, many years to come.
You could easily work really hard for 6 months, get out 50 articles a day then take the next 6 months off.
Imagine only having to work 6 months of the year and the rest of the year your income is taken care of.
You will be getting checks for years to come from work you did 4 years ago.
I still do from articles I wrote many years ago.
Speed… speed is the #1 key to being the most successful bum marketer on the Internet.
Work hard now and you will be the richest bum marketer on the Internet in 6 or 12 months guaranteed.
This is no joke.
Don't want to write articles?
Fine, speak them.
Get a microphone and a copy of Audacity for free and away you go. These days technology allows you to do just about anything you want. So if you are not very good at writing, then record your articles and have an automatic translator type it into a document for you. Then, you just have to edit it.
Go to Ezinearticles.com, find a keyword you want to write an article on and search Ezinearticles.com for articles on that topic.
Find an article, read that article into your own words into your microphone, record it, get it transcribed and away you go.
Now, let’s move on to another important SECRET to your success as a Bum Marketer. Ready… this one is really important; so important, I’ve decided to devote an entire chapter to it.
