Step 1 - Find 5 products to promote
You will need to find 5 decent products to promote that fit the criteria I talked above in the above
sections. Clickbank.com is a good start to find products to promote. There are new products being
added daily.Make sure they pay you enough for your time. Don't promote a product that pays you peanuts.
It's not worth it especially if there are more products out there that pay you better.Do you want instant cash paid via PayPal? If I want instant cash, I go to Paydotcom.com and find products to promote. I then email the product owners and tell them I am going to promote their products, ONLY if they pay me instantly as soon as I get a sale.
With Paydotcom.com the owner of the product gets paid instantly via PayPal and they can also pay their affiliates instantly.
Another great idea for the bum marketing method which not many bums are doing (apart from
Travis) is promote residual income affiliate programs. IE, affiliate programs that pay you every month, like webhosting. I love residual income affiliate programs. Promoting a product once and getting paid for as long as that customer stays a customer.
For example. If you promote a webhosting company and make a sale, you will make that same
amount of money every month for as long as that customer stays with that webhosting service.
Residual income affiliate programs are the wave of the future.
If you want a list of some good affiliate programs that pay this way go to....
http://www.lifetimecommissions.com
This is a website directory full of residual income affiliate programs.
Step 2 - Find at least 30 keywords for each product
If you want to find more keywords, even better, but start with 30 first to see if the product will be
worth it. There is nothing worse then writing 50 to 100 articles to promote a product and then
realised the product doesn't covert to sales.This is very frustrating and it is going to happen on occasion, that's life. Some products will convert better then others.
But the very minimum articles I write for a specific product is 30. If I write 30 articles and I make
very little sales, then I know not to keep going.The great thing about bum marketing is it's a perfect way to test if products are winners for free while making money. If a product is a winner, there is nothing stopping you from advertising with Google Adwords and Ezine advertising. I know all the top bum marketers write at least 30 articles for each product they promote. I know this because I write for them and myself and this is what works for us.
Step 3 - Write the articles for your keywords
Now is the time to write your articles. I've given you many tips above to make this easier and
more profitable for you. If you wanted to outsource the article writing you could do that as well. There are places that write articles for as little as $6.
If you go to www.forums.digitalpoint.com and signup to that forum, and go to the services for sale
section, you will find many, many people offering article writing services for as little as 2 or 3
dollars a pop. Never pay upfront. Pay after the articles are completed. Write the articles quickly. Give them an action plan to use, top it off with an interesting article byline and you will make sales.
Step 4 - Create your landing pages and submit your articles
Ezinearticles.com will no doubt in the future change the rules for what is acceptable as the landing
page people click on in your article by-line. In the future Ezinearticles.com will probably not allow
you to redirect their readers straight to a signup form for an optin email list. They probably won't
even let you send readers straight to a sales letter or affiliate page via redirect.Travis explains all about landing pages in the bum marketing method, but what I've found to work even better then a simple pre-sell page or an optin page is to incorporate content around the landing page.
For example, you would have the reader directed to a page on your website, something like....
http://www.yourwebsitehere.com/worldofwarcraft/index.html
This page would be a simple pre-sell page like Travis suggests doing in his bum marketing course.
But instead of just having one page site visitors can click on and either sign up to your free optin
list or click straight over to the affiliate website, on the side of the page in the navigation area,
you would put links to other articles you've written.
This makes your website more of a content/resource website. This will please your website visitors
and Ezinearticles.com. As you know, Ezinearticles.com is cracking down on landing pages and
they no longer allow USfreeads.com.
Also, this gives you more chances to make sales as well. When a reader can see that there is
more content to read on the topic, they will read those articles as well and get even more excited
about the product you are promoting.This is pre-selling at its best. A lot of people really hate giving away their email address straight away just to get more information, so give it to them for free again and again and again and again, and they will eventually WANT to give you their email address.
Allan Gardyne does this well at http://www.associateprograms.com
Once you have created your landing page, submit your articles MANUALLY to Ezinearticles.com
and Goarticles.com. Those are the only article directories I use.
Step 5 - Double up on your keywords
By now you should have written 150 articles and submitted them to the relevant article
directories. If after a few weeks, you find a certain product is doing really well, double up. Like I
explained before, create a second Ezinearticles.com account and write the same articles again
under this different persons account.

HOW TO MAKE AN EASY CASH ON AFFILIATE MAKETING EVEN WITHOUT CAPIAL START-UP !
How affiliate marketing works
Affiliate marketing is based on a very simple concept to make money online. The basic idea here is to promote the services and products of other companies’ through your own website. With this in mind, even if you don’t have products of your own, you can still act as a middleman for other companies. This is a proven and tested way to make money online without costing much on your budget. The basic idea is for you to refer customers to your affiliate company’s products. This can be done through reviews, direct references, opinions, short articles etc. With every reference you will need to include a banner or a link ad that will direct the customer to the affiliate company’s site and thus start to make money online with these affiliate links. With every sale that happens in your website, you get to make a good commission. This presents a great way to make extra money online. Some schemes also allow you to earn a commission for every leads that are generated for the affiliate company. This means that even if the sales don’t happen with each click, you still earn a commission!
You can make $200 daily from Affiliate programs with zero capital and I mean it. Even though this process does not require money,it requires a lot of wits,time and energy. Travis Sago calls it Bum Marketing but I call it ‘Zero to Hero Marketing’.Why? It will take you fom zero capital to hero in no time if you implement the information in this post. But,if you don’t,too bad. Knowledge,in itself,will do you no good,but the application of it. So,pick up your jotter and follow me as I take you into the world of ‘Zero to Hero Marketing.’
Step No 1-Sign up for an Affiliate Account at http://clickbank.com, http://commissionjunction,etc. Surf around their marketplace and look for high-paying affiliate programs and then,you join. For instance,you can join a Weightloss Affiliate Program.
Step No 2-You need to come up with article titles relating to weightloss and write those articles. Now,don’t write on any title that does not have between 1000-5000 searches a month,even though this may differ from article directory to article directory. So,how do you know the number of searches? Just use the free Keywords Tool at http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com. If you type in Weightloss,it brings you the number of searches being done on weightloss and the different aspects of weightloss being searched. This takes care of the demand side of the keyword. That is,how many people are searching for what you want to promote as an affiliate?
Now that you know the number of searches being done on the keyword of your choice, go to Google and search for that same keyword you want to use to write your article. At the top of the page,you will see the number of pages that contain the keyword. This takes care of the supply side of the keyword and is an indicator of the size of your competition if you write on that keyword. Now,if there are billions of pages on a keyword you want to target,don’t go for it. You will end up writing article upon article and you will not feature anywhere near the Google First Page. So,go for keywords with low competition.
Step No 3-Once you have found low-competition keywords,write articles on them and then submit them to article directories,such as,http://ezinearticles, http://goarticles.com, http://isnare.com. For instance,going by our weightloss example,there are some low competition keyword phrases,such as,’get rid of excess weight’,'burn excess fat’,etc. I have not searched these keywords and cannot say they are low-competion but I mentioned them to give you examples of how to come up with phrases that you can write articles about. You have to be able to come up with low-competition keywords which will make your articles be on the number 1 slot on Google whenever people search for that keyword or phrase.
