First Up - The Two Secrets To Bum Marketing
What most people don’t understand is that you don’t have to get everything right all the time with bum marketing. You don’t have to be right all the time, you don’t have to be perfect all the time, you don’t have to be the greatest marketer of all time to make bum marketing work for you.
That’s the great thing.
You can be a complete beginner to bum marketing and Internet marketing and still make more money then many of the so called guru’s. This is why I’m such a fan of bum marketing and why I have gotten my family and friends onto bum marketing.
The first secret to bum marketing is….
Super Fast Writing
It sounds simple I know. But how many of you sit there and take 4 hours to write one article? You can’t do that. You need to churn out 5 articles an hour, at least.
Don’t sit there and go “I can’t do that”. Because you can.
I can write 5 articles an hour and still have time to play 15 minutes of Call of Duty on WII. Speed is essential when it comes to bum marketing. Your articles don’t have to be great. They can’t be utter rubbish, but they don’t have to be masterpieces of Pulitzer prize award stature.
I’ve shown my mother, my sister, my father, my best friend, my girlfriend how to write articles in a matter of minutes and I’m going to show you as well.
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.
It doesn’t matter what topic it is, just start writing.
The only source I use for research is Ezinearticles.com.
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.
What people don’t understand is that all the research is done for you.
Your job is basically an article re writer. Every article topic imaginable has been written for you at Ezinearticles.com.
All you have to do is read the article and put it into your own words.
It’s that simple.
Don’t try and make your articles something amazing.
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.
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.
I do not use auto generated content or article spinners. Every article I write is unique. Every article adds value to the Ezinearticles.com directory and gives the readers the information they need.
They are not long articles. 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.
No fluff.
Imagine being able to get out 50 articles a day. 50 articles every day.
Let’s say you do that 5 days a week.
That’s 250 articles a week and this is very doable, even part time. 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 guys, 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.
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.
The second secret is….
Super Product Selection.
Nothing frustrates me more then seeing and hearing bum marketers saying they are writing all these articles and not getting any sales. I then go check out their articles and what they are promoting and it’s crap.
Literally.
Never ever select keywords to write articles on UNTIL you have a great product to promote. I always, always look for a product to promote before I do keyword research.
This is why I’m not a big fan of keyword lists you see floating around.
They are good to use for ideas and sometimes you find a few gems, but most of the keywords are rubbish because there is no decent products to promote with that keyword.
Then the next thing I see bum’s doing is using the keywords they found that fit the bum marketing criteria, they then write an article for that keyword and try and fit an unrelated product into their article by line and wonder why no one buys from them.
The best way to start with bum marketing is trying to dominate Clickbank first. Go to the Clickbank marketplace, see what is hot in all the categories, not just the Internet marketing category.
Find a product that is selling well, has a good sales letter and offers more then $10 per sale.
Just by looking myself, I found some really good products I will want to promote. One of those is on World Of Warcraft.
This is a PC game that is really hot right now. Now that I have found a good product to promote, I then do my keyword research.
Which looks something like this….

All of those above keywords I would write articles on.
In fact, I have already begun to do this now.
Bum marketing is all about dominating.
You have to saturate the market with your articles to become the winner.
You need to dominate each product you promote. Don’t go into bum marketing half assed.
This is a sure way to fail or make a few sales here and there.
So to recap.
Find a product to promote before you even think about keyword research. Make sure the product is hot right now, which is easy to tell on Clickbank, which is why I recommend it, make sure it has a good sales page and the sales page is working fine, make sure it offers fair commissions and make sure also that the owner is contactable.
Then once the product fits that criteria, start doing keyword research and find at least 30 keywords to write articles on.
How To Do Really Good FREE Keyword Research
Keyword research is fun. I love it. I can spend hours researching keywords, which is a mistake as it takes away from writing articles.
But it’s so fun.
As I said above, the first thing to do is find a good product to promote. The next thing to do is keyword research.
I have my own keyword research tool that I use and it’s free.

how many articles per day should I submit? all those?
I mean, writing them is OK, but should I submit them as I write? I’ve heard that if you submit that much articles, they won’t rank. Is that correect?

Submit about 1 every 3 days, and just keep doing it with a link going back to your site or sales page. Remember - it takes a while for articles to get approved. If you write one a day and submit one every 3 days, within a month, you will have a years worth of articles to submit.
