What Is Bum Marketing?

This method was coined for the sheer simplicity of the concept. Virtually anybody can succeed through this web-based marketing method. In bum marketing, which is also known as article marketing, you simply aim to create articles for keywords that have no or low competition on the Internet. Since competition is low or virtually inexistent, your article will have a high page ranking on most search engines.

Find a niche or target market, product, site or subject.

After being convinced that you can succeed in bum marketing, the first step you need to take is to look for a website, a product, a niche market, or a particular subject that you are interested in. Although you can make articles on virtually anything under the sun, it is advisable to look for subjects that interest you so that you won't find it hard to write an article about it.

Furthermore, you will not feel discouraged even if you find few or no resources about the topic you chose on the net because you already have prior knowledge about it.

Do some keyword research.

The next step, after you have already decided which topic or subject to write about, is to find keywords (that are related to your subject choice) that have low competition on the Net. There are many keywords that are frequently sought but do not have ample resources on the World Wide Web.

The main objective of bum marketing is to take advantage of the scarcity of reference materials or articles such keywords.

Create an article based on low-competition keywords and phrases.

The third crucial step in bum marketing is to write the article itself. Since there are not many resources available on the net about the keywords you have chosen, you need to be resourceful. Visit your local libraries, watch documentaries, use help sites, post questions on forums, or rely on your own knowledge about the topic.

The articles do not have to be long, just ensure that they are comprehensive and well written. As much as possible, do not use jargons, archaic language or words that are not easy to understand. Internet users do not have the time to look for the meaning of words in dictionaries.

Submit articles to top article repositories or directories.

The last step in this so-called article marketing method is to submit the articles you have written and created in popular directories or article repositories. It is best to submit articles to these websites because they are almost always on the top rank of most search engines since they are frequently updated and have tons of quality content.

You can earn money through building links gained from the articles you submitted on major websites or you can get money from sales from your affiliated sites.

Advantages Of Bum Marketing.

The main advantage of bum marketing is its simplicity. Anybody who has internet access can use it. If you are not good at writing articles, you can always find people who are willing to ghost write for you for a low price. All you have to do is some keyword research and you are already on track of earning big.

Another benefit of this marketing method is the building of your credibility. Once people see that you have written several topics about specific subjects, they will view you as an expert on the field. Even if you have not seen a whale shark in your entire life, you will be considered as a whale shark expert if you have numerous articles submitted in popular directories.

People will think that you have done extensive research and have ample knowledge on the subject simply because you have written many informative and easy to understand articles on topics that are not easily available on the net.
