Day 25: Why Your Bum Marketing Sucks

Or rather,

How to Dramatically Increase The Results

You Get from Article Marketing…

Bum marketing is another fancy name for article marketing. Of course the focus is on long tail keywords. Before I can explain How you can put your article marketing on steroids.. You have to first learn about bum marketing.

Here are the basics of bum marketing (Marketing with articles).

1. You write articles based on Long Tail keywords: Keywords that have 3 or more words in them are basically your long tail keywords. If you focus on these keywords you’ll have less websites to compete with.

2. You direct all the traffic to your affiliate page (Basically a review page for affiliate products you are promoting). You use top article directories like ezinearticles.com or classified ads site like usfreeads.com

3. You bank your commission.

This is your basic Bum marketing method. Of course you can other factors into play like Using classifieds to craigslist to yahoo answers. There are tons of ways you can use to bring traffic.

How Spending 5 Minutes extra in your Bum Marketing can Double your results?

Interesting claim that, isn’t it?

Well, there are many ways you can improve your results. People have written and sold few reports on these techniques. Techniques like using squidoo, or use different classifieds lists or using blogs.

Of course all of this helps in one way or another. Moreover if you consider following a simple plan as this it’s great way to make some money without spending too much.

Well I am not going to talk about all these techniques.

I want to give you some food for thought. Something that you can use to build your marketing with your skills…

Lets say if Writing article takes X amount of time and it produces Y results.

X= Y

What if we add few changes which you can finish in 5 minutes and it has potential to double your results

X+5 = 2y

Now if you spend 5 more minutes, You can literally tripple your results.. Isn’t that right?

X+5+5=3Y

Now of course they are other variables and factors that will be counted. But we are taking it as bigger picture. This is the kind of thing that produces powerful results if you can apply it properly.

Your 5 Precious Minutes

You are going to write an article anyway, so what harm is in spending an extra 5 minutes. Ok ok, I won’t create more suspense.

Here are the steps you can follow on daily basis.

1. Write your articles based on long tail keywords.

2. Now use other long tail keywords based on the article and re-write 40% of article. Now I don’t believe in duplicate content but according to some SEO experts 40% of content changes will take care of all this duplicate content problems.

In this I suggest you to target different keywords based on same article. For example, Once I wrote an article on “how to lose your beer belly”. I found after some researching I can use “How to lose your gut” and other variations like “how to lose tyre around the midsection”.

Now this helped me target 3 different keywords variations with one article. All I needed was to change my keywords and some of the content tone.

How much it took me? Less than 5 minutes.

So think of ways to implement this idea which doesn’t take much time anyways. You are create more articles, targeting more keywords and create more ways to get exposure to your website.

3. Here you can submit these articles and implement the rest of bum marketing method as you wish. I know some people use squidoo or craigslist to add some omph in bum marketing… Implement those steps.

4. Do this on daily basis. In just few minutes per day you can get 3 times the result of your hard work. Isn’t that better?

 In fact if you think of this technique, You can implement something like this in quite a few of the marketing process. That’s why I writing such a big post to explain something as simple as this.

We talked about leverage, this is one of the ways you can get leverage on your existing content. Can you implement in other ways? YES, you are only limited by your own imagination.

Now, What you are doing? Go and put some OMPH in your marketing.
