How to Use Bum Marketing Method with Clickbank Products

[17 Aug 2009 | No Comment | ]

The Bum Marketing method is getting a great deal of acclaim among Internet and affiliate marketers. The main reason for this is that it works—even for those who are operating on a bit of a shoestring when it comes to budgets. It does more than work minimally though. There are marketers that have been widely successful using this type of marketing and nothing else to improve their bottom lines.

If you’ve heard of this type of marketing but can’t really seem to wrap your mind around it, it’s good to start simple and then work up to some of the more complex aspects of Bum Marketing. So, how do you get started using this impressive and highly effective method to work in your Clickbank campaigns?

Create Lenses, Blogs, and Web Pages Promoting Your Products

It’s always a good idea, when you are using Bum methods to begin with the free things and then move on to those that cost a little bit more. Blogger blogs, Squidoo lenses, Hub pages, and Knols are a great beginning and can have you bringing in a bit of profit before you know without any other assistance—assuming that you did a bang up job when it comes to content for these free resources available to Bum marketers.

Article Marketing

Perhaps the most necessary and the most difficult aspect of Bum marketing, article marketing is where your rewards lie. Seriously, this is not a game that you dabble with. It’s an all out effort—a do or die campaign if you will. It is recommended that you write anywhere from 100 to 200 articles per product you are promoting in order to adequately promote a product and bring in the really impressive profits that most of us can only dream about at this stage in our Clickbank marketing careers.

It’s a good idea to begin with a set number of articles each day and write every single day until you’ve reached your initial goal of one or two hundred. You can’t just write them though and hope that they will be effective sitting on your hard drive collecting dust. You must also submit them to article directories. This is a bit time consuming but once you’ve gotten the process down you will find it becomes second nature in time.

Bum marketing is a type of marketing that doesn’t require a lot of money up front but it makes up for that by requiring a significant investment of time. If you are willing to invest your time, blood, sweat, and tears in the process you can make an impressive income through Bum Marketing with Clickbank products.

Free web traffic comes in many guises but it has one thing in common – it is free to advertise your website and as you promote it free of charge, you can expect to acquire a large following and build your mailing list accordingly. That’s the ideal way and it can work if approached properly. Free web traffic can be generated from the auto surf sites, the traffic generator sites, the viral web sites, plus combinations of each. Traffic Swarm is one of the preeminent and best known traffic generators. Another is Traffic Zap whereby you earn traffic from referring other people to join Traffic Zap. Another system is banner exchanges which offers various numbers of free credits when you join and allows you to add your banner link to the site. You then earn credits by auto surfing websites and this pays for your own website to be viewed by others on that site.

The trouble is that everyone is doing the same thing and, as human nature would have it, after a while the members become blasé about this and seek ways of maximizing the pages they view at any one time. This is easy to do with the multi-tabbed browsers: you simply load up the URL, log into your account on the auto surf site and set up each browser tab to auto surf without actually having to view each website. Of course, this defeats the object – nobody is viewing any site and, while this once worked really well, it’s now a bit hackneyed. Webmasters, themselves, are aware this is happening and have tried to get around it with all sorts of different methods such as manual surfing, having to click onto different shaped icons every few seconds and so on but, no sooner do they bring out some new idea to prevent the cheats, than the cheats find a way to fiddle with the system.

Then, of course, there is link exchanges, websites loaded with keywords, title tagging, content segmentation, text links and back links and exchange links. These are all common knowledge even to the ‘newbies’ to internet marketing. However, what about latent semantic indexing? This little known little trick can launch your website right to the top of the charts if understood and implemented correctly. The best suggestion one can make is to ‘Google’ a book called ‘The Masterplan’. You can obtain the first four chapters for free at the moment and, if you purchase the book, you will have made an incredibly good investment. The idea is based on keyword density but it goes further than that: it is keyword density within the whole context of the web page text. Does it work? There is only one way to find out!
