How to Make Money Online for Free: Bum Marketing

Bum marketing is a term coined by internet marketing expert Travis Sago. This type of marketing is so easy that even a bum can do it.

The core of bum marketing is, of course, article writing. You select products related to the topic you are interested in and write and submit as many articles as possible to the article directories. Your articles become little sales machines that are constantly promoting the affiliate products you have chosen.

You may also use bum marketing to promote your own products and services. The important thing to remember here is that if you are submitting articles to the article directories, most will not allow you to include your affiliate links either in the body of the article or your resource box. You will need to provide some other type of link in order to get your articles approved.

To get started, here is what you need to do:

1. Do your keyword research.

You want to choose three to five topics that you are interested in. Choose general keywords and use those keywords to help you find additional keyword phrases to write your articles, as well as search for affiliate programs to market.

2. Choose three to five products to promote.

There are thousands, possibly millions of affiliate programs available. With bum marketing, you will want to choose an affiliate program that pays you at least $20 per sale.

When first getting started, you may want to consider Clickbank as this site offers tons of affiliate products you may sell, and it’s easy to find affiliate products that will pay you this much commission.

There are also plenty of other affiliate networks where you may find affiliate programs including Linkshare, Commission Junction and others. This will allow you to sell high ticket physical products.

3. Set up your website.

There are several different websites you may choose to set up as a bum marketer. These types of sites are usually more simple than the average website. Also, with these types of websites, the purpose really is to spend is little time as possible building websites and more time writing articles.

Consider building these types of sites: Blogger or WordPress blogs, Squidoo lenses, and lead capture pages. Remember, a website is optional for this way of making money.

4. Submit your articles.

Once you’ve completed the steps above, it’s time to start writing articles. You want to write as many articles as possible. Keep those articles to a reasonable length, usually about 300 – 400 words depending on where you want to submit.

Read the guidelines for the top article directories. Submit your articles to any article directories that allow affiliate links. (These directories will include Affsphere and Go Articles.) Write 30 articles per product. Try to write at least 50 articles per month.

5. Repeat the process.

When you have written and submitted at least 30 articles for each product you are promoting, find five more products to promote. Write more articles, submit, and then find more products. The more articles you write, the more your income will increase. Keep writing articles until you reach the level of income you desire.
