So I’ve decided Bum Marketing is going to be the idea that I run with this month. For those of you who aren’t sure what bum marketing is I suggest you take 5 minutes and look it up on Google. If, like me you are lazy and can’t be bothered I’ll give you a quick breakdown of what it is.

Essentially it’s finding a niche with low competition and a lot of long tail keywords and then writing aritcles based around those keywords which end up dominating the search engines and sending traffic towards your site.

I’ve decided to extend the term ‘bum‘ a bit further and will make it so even a ‘bum‘ off the street could afford to do this. By this I mean I won’t pay for anything, everything I do for the first week or two will only cost me time and effort, you won’t have to pay for a site, domain ,hosting or anything. If I was to do this my way I would get the articles written for me and buy a domain and make a site but I’ve decided not to do this at this stage and just concentrate on the freebie way!

Now I don’t expect to make any revenue from this method for the first couple of weeks and I’m undecided as to whether I am going to make 1, 2, 3 or 4 products/sites during the course of the month but I’d imagine at least 2.  I’m focusing on Clickbank product(s) to promote and have already signed up a brand spanking new clickbank account to use for this blog .

So at this stage I have already been to clickbank and found a product that I think I can make a buck or two off. I’ve already created my ’site’ which will be the ’selling’ page for this product and of course seeing as it has to be free I’m using a blogger blog. I have added one post to the site at this stage and made a custom header for it to give it a more professional look. I think I’m going to post to it once a day for the first week to see if I can get some organic seo traffic. Meanwhile I will be writing articles and submitting them to directories so hopefully it sends traffic back to my blogger blog.

Now, to be honest I hate writing articles and I often get articles written for me, not because it is hard but more because I’m too lazy, I can easily write an aritcle in around 10 minutes and I’m going to have to do it because of this little challange. So tonight I will be writing a few articles in addition to creating a few more ‘funnel’ sites which will send traffic (hopefully) to the blog where they will click through on my affiliate link so that I make a sale.

So that’s about it for now, I’m off to create a feeder site or write an article or two.
