What do bum marketing and the NBA have in common? Well, me at the moment. Yesterday was never going be a very productive day with the first game of the NBA finals on TV, plus I had a school game to coach but despite all the destractions I did manage to get some bum marketing work done. I created another blog, wrote a couple of more articles so I could use them on my other funnel sites, so I did actually manage to get some work done.

My main blog recieved around 45 visitors yesterday, the majority coming from the 5 articles that I wrote and  now I’m starting to notice traffic coming from a couple of the funnel sites. No additional sales have been made but I didn’t really expect to make any sales within the first week or two anyway, I think I must have just got lucky with that first sale.

I really want to start pushing the main blog so I can get it ranking well in the search engines as there is nothing better than targeted search engine traffic. The good thing about bum marketing is that unlike the domain method from last month, any work I do now will continue to ‘bear fruits’ , by that I mean even after this month is finished all the work that I have done during the month will continue generating traffic and sales.

Don’t expect to get much work done as I have a work function to attend but hopefully I will get a couple more articles done and maybe even a few more for the funnel sites.

Well after getting the blog up yesterday I thought I had better do some work and promote the thing. Now I might have mentioned that I really don’t like article writing but for bum marketing it’s and essential piece of the equation . So in between watching T.V, eating and playing with the kids I managed to write 4 articles which I submitted to an Article Directory. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the articles to be accepted and then hopefully I will start to see a trickle of traffic to the blog. Actually writing the articles were pretty easy and I’m by the 3rd and 4th article it was only taking me around 10 mins to do an 400 word article which isn’t too bad. I plan to have at least 10 articles submitted to the article directory this week.

Another thing I did today was to add tracking to my blog so I can actually see when and if I do eventually get any visitors. I also created a lens which means I had to basically write another article to use on it so I actually ended up writing 6 articles today which for me is pretty good as normally I would pay someone to do them for me. I also started promoting my lens because as I mentioned I’m trying to create funnels which will send traffic to the blog and hopefully this leads to sales!

I also made one new post to my blog so that’s where the 6th article came into the equation. Now if I keep this level of activity up I honestly think it will only be a matter of time before my blog starts to rise in the SE and hopefully this means I will make some money, mind you that’s if I keep that level of activity up and today was a public holiday but, I still hope to submit at least 10 articles this week and post to my blog every day this week (good to set goals!)

That’s about it for now!
