Bum marketing or the Bum marketing method as it is often called is a form of article marketing that gives a person the opportunity to earn money online through the commissions of sales from affiliate products, sales of your own products or many other areas. The reason for the name Bum marketing is because is supposed to be so simple that even a Bum can do it. The fact that you can do it from home or any computer factors in as well. Most people would say it's because it is one of the only forms of online marketing that doesn't really require any money for you to do it.
You start by writing keyword optimized articles. usually people pick low competition niches (the area you are writing about) Then you submit your articles to websites, you wait for search engines like Google or Yahoo to pick them up then as people browse through your articles, click on the affiliate ads, and you will earn commission off each sale
How Does it work?
Steps....
1) The hardest part is finding an Untapped or a low competition niche (area)
2) you will need to find an affiliate program which will have a product you can write about which in turn will pay you a decent commission each time a sale is made.
3) You will need to write a few articles (how many is up to you) Great thing about this is that you can do it from home or work. ** If you do it from work, Just don't get caught**
4) Then you submit those articles to places like this site, or Squidoo and so forth. Eventually they will get picked up by major search engines.
5) If you are lucky, you will begin to earn affiliate commission based on the sales your articles make. You can also make money with Adsense. Finally, If you get good enough you can sell your own product.
Sounds too easy!
Actually it's not that easy, but there are harder things in life you can be doing (like digging trenches in 120 degree heat) Now that's hard work.
But the fact is that like any job, it does require research, time and effort. You cannot simply write bogus articles and expect people to read them, much less buy what it is you're trying to sell them.
The main goal for a Bum marketer is to try and land his or her article in Google's or Yahoo, MSN, Bing and so on, search engines. Once the article shows up on these engines, people like you and me browsing for whatever we're looking for, browse through them.
As long as you write quality articles, you spend time finding a NICHE that works then you should be on your way to making money in no time. The key is finding a low competition niche.
