The Ultimate Roadmap to Success. Your Blueprint for Achieving Your Goals

Online business and Entrepeneurship Dec 26, 2022

This is what you should be doing every week. If you want to succeed, if you want to be the bum marketer you deserve to be, the kind of person I’ve been talking about all along…

Follow this action plan every week and you will be well on your way to earning $100 - $200 a day within a month.

Step 1 - Find 5 products to promote

You will need to find 5 decent products to promote that fit the criteria I talked about in the above sections. Clickbank.com is a good start to find products to promote. There are new products being added daily.

Make sure they pay you enough for your time. Don't promote a product that pays you peanuts. It's not worth it especially if there are more products available paying better profits. Make sure you find products people will spend money on, and products offering affiliate commissions no less than 50-60% when you promote the product if you can.

Another great idea for the bum marketing method, one not many bums are taking advantage of (apart from Travis) is promoting residual income affiliate programs.

IE, affiliate programs that pay you every month, like web hosting. I love residual income affiliate programs. Here is how they work. You promote a product one time. A customer buys the product. Every time they come back to buy another, you make more money. Promote a product once and are paid for as long as that customer stays a customer.

For example. If you promote a web hosting company and make a sale, you will make that same amount of money every month for as long as that customer stays with that web hosting service.

Residual income affiliate programs are the wave of the future.

This is a website directory full of residual income affiliate programs.

Step 2 - Find at least 30 keywords for each product

If you want to find more keywords, even better, but start with 30 first to see if the product will be worth it. There is nothing worse then writing 50 to 100 articles to promote a product and then realized the product doesn't covert to sales.

Sometimes, this is going to happen. It is not a big deal if you have not invested a lot of time or effort in your article writing.

This is very frustrating and it is going to happen on occasion, that's life. Some products will convert better then others.

But the very minimum articles I write for a specific product is 30.

If I write 30 articles and I make very little sales, then I know not to keep going.

The great thing about bum marketing is it's a perfect way to test if products are winners for free while making money. If a product is a winner, there is nothing stopping you from advertising with Google Adwords and Ezine advertising.

I know all the top bum marketers write at least 30 articles for each product they promote. I know this because I write for them and myself and this is what works for us.

Step 3 - Write the articles for your keywords

Now is the time to write your articles. You know you have a great product; you know it will convert, so there is nothing stopping you from making great money except your willingness to write a LOT of articles. Great articles.

I've given you many tips above to make this easier and more profitable for you.

If you wanted to outsource the article writing you could do that as well.

There are places that write articles for as little as $6. Use these forums and find people to write articles for nothing; just keep in mind part of your profits will go to paying people to write for you, so make sure you have products that pay well.

If you go to forums.digitalpoint.com and signup to that forum, and go to the services for sale section, you will find many, many people offering article writing services for as little as 2 or 3 dollars a pop.

If you do decide to hire people to write articles for you, here is a tip.

Never pay upfront. Pay after the articles are completed.

Write the articles quickly. Give them an action plan to use, top it off with an interesting article byline and you will make sales.

Step 4 - Create your landing pages and submit your articles

Ezinearticles.com will no doubt in the future change the rules for what is acceptable as the landing page people click on in your article byline.

In the future Ezinearticles.com will probably not allow you to redirect their readers straight to a signup form for an opt-in email list. They probably won't even let you send readers straight to a sales letter or affiliate page via redirect.

Travis explains all about landing pages in the bum marketing method, but what I've found to work even better then a simple pre-sell page or an opt-in page is to incorporate content around the landing page. That way, people land on a page where they have something interesting to read before you go into a hard sell.

For example, you would have the reader directed to a page on your website. This page would be a simple pre-sell page like Travis suggests doing in his bum-marketing course.

But instead of just having one page site visitors can click on and either sign up to your free opt-in list or click straight over to the affiliate website, on the side of the page in the navigation area, you would put links to other articles you've written. This is likely where you will make your most money, but getting people to opt-in to a list is equally important, because you can always market your product to them later by a sales letter.

This makes your website more of a content/resource website. This will please your website visitors and Ezinearticles.com. People are more likely to click through the links you have when you have a website set up with information, not just a blaring sales page. Remember, with time everything gets old.

At some point, customers, not just article commandos like Ezinarticles.com are going to demand more from the people using their services.

As you know, Ezinearticles.com is cracking down on landing pages and they no longer allow USfreeads.com.

Also, this gives you more chances to make sales as well.

When a reader can see that there is more content to read on the topic, they will read those articles as well and get even more excited about the product you are promoting. If you do a good job of writing articles, they will believe you have quality content to offer, and they are more likely to trust whatever products you have to recommend to them.

This is pre-selling at its best. Many people really hate giving away their email address straight away just to get more information, so give it to them free repeatedly, and they will eventually WANT to give you their email address.

There is already too much junk mail out there, so more and more people want something tangible immediately. They do not want you to bombard them with crap, so just don’t do it. Do as I say and make money the right way.

Once you have created your landing page, submit your articles MANUALLY to Ezinearticles.com and Goarticles.com. Those are the only article directories I use.

Step 5 - Double up on your keywords

By now you should have written 150 articles and submitted them to the relevant article directories. If after a few weeks, you find a certain product is doing really well, double up.

Like I explained before, create a second Ezinearticles.com account and write the same articles again under this different persons account.

Also go and look for other keywords you can write articles on.

Milk it for all it's worth.

Do all of this for 4 weeks straight and if you are not seeing $100 or more a day in your Clickbank account I will be surprised. This system WILL work if you try it. It is not another “tactic” it is THE magic key you have been looking for, a way to be lazy and make money. Who doesn’t want to live life like that?

Have You Thought About Buying Your Own Article Directory Site?

This is for the more technically minded bum marketer who wants to take his or her bum marketing to the next level. I don't know about you but I'm getting sick of Ezinearticles.com's rules and regulations.

I'm not one to sit around and whine though, it's their site and they can do as they wish with it, but I'm going to find another solution.

What I am doing right now is this.

I'm at forums.digitalpoint.com and I'm looking on their forum to buy a website with a PR rating for Google of 7+. I'm looking for one to buy.

I've seen a few already. They range from anywhere between $300 and $3000.

What I'm going to do is buy a PR 7 website and setup my own article directory on it. As you know, Ezinearticles.com is a PR 7 website and that is why it gets such good rankings in Google so quickly. It attracts a lot of popularity from people and gets many visitors.

But there is nothing stopping anyone out there from buying a site with a genuine PR 7 rating and turning it into an article directory site. Then you can submit all your articles to this site that has a PR 7 rating and not have to worry about rules and regulations, as it would be your website. You can send people to whatever type of page you want, and you can write as many articles you want on as many subjects as you want, it is that simple.

This is something I will be doing and investing in and I know a few other bum marketers I told this idea to that are thinking about it.

Imagine owning your own Ezinearticles.com article directory, except you play by your rules and you can submit whatever the heck you like. This is bum marketing at its best.

You don't even have to accept other people's articles you could just use your own.

Do you think this would work? You had better believe it would.

If you want to make money, but still live the good life, then take advantage of bum marketing. Take advantage of all the tips and advice in this book, and I bet you will make at least $100 - $200 a day. Add that up. That is at least $700 - $1400 a week.

You could easily make a full-time salary working half time part of the year. You could even double up and make a large profit.

However, you have to start now; you have to do your homework. Now that you know how to do it, there is nothing stopping you from doing it. So get started! Bum market your way to riches!
