Bum Marketing: Here's how any Bum can start Marketing

My Squidoo website is actually very easy to write an
article on (it has to be easy, or I'd be back
where I started on good ol'-fashioned email :).
I wrote this "lens" (Squidoo lingo for focussing on
a subject, geddit) "for your eyes only"
partly to show you how easy it is. I also wanted to
replace my awful photo with a slightly more
upbeat "me" ;) If you think it's an improvement,
hey, I'm really looking forward to comments, below
(Hint, hint ;)

We'd begin by submitting your article to
EzineArticles.com for free.
(ezine = Electronic magaZINE in online lingo)

EzineArticles.com has a very high rating
on the all-powerful Google search engine,
so your article would already be positioned
head and shoulders and half a torso ahead
of millions of others.

You can believe Travis when he details
his earnings: I've received enough from
ClickBank sales to know that when done
correctly this works very well indeed:
Travis is spot-on in every detail.

OK, you read Travis' neat story
involving his wife...I wonder, what
great things would happen if you and I
were to combine forces?

I've discovered that the problem with
online marketing is not a question of
which method produces actual folding-cash
income...there are actually way too many
programs that are excellent.

My problem (blame it if you like on
my Pisces sun sign) is that I find it
is far too easy to become distracted.
I must concentrate on one good program,
and go for it.

Perhaps helping you get going on a
well-defined track...would all I need
to put me on the straight and narrow.

Something about scratching each other's
backs comes to mind, but let's first get
this thing off the ground, then decide
how best to celebrate.... ;)

Here's a neat short film...to get in
the mood. Put on your headphones, or
turn up the sound, the music is a
nice part of the magic ;)

Read all 3 pages of Travis' article
for ideas on selecting a subject for an article,
something fairly narrow and/or specialised,
and something you're sort-of interested in
(but which you do not have to be expert at)

I imagine "Education" would be a goldmine in
more ways than one, and your expertise in
early childhood would be a neat niche to
begin with. It doesn't hurt being the expert
you are in that field, but you
don't have to start at the top ;)

Open a New page on your browser
and copy/paste the Overture Tool
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

In the Overture search box, type in a
phrase of several words, some words
that could become start of a title, a
phrase which somebody will type into
Google, looking for your information.

Copy/Paste this link
http://www.bummarketingmethod.com/lowcompetitionkeywords.html
and scroll to the list of 100 words at the bottom
of the page: these are useful hints on what your
searcher could be motivated to look for...motivated
also to actually purchase through your highly-
relevant product link.

Choose a subject you'd be happy to write a few
lines about even if it's not one that get's
you downright excited :) You'll be producing
some 200 to 500 words.

Right? OK, but only write now if you are
really excited, because if you're wondering
how and where to start, I have a really
neat idea on how to produce an
how to compile it very easily and
correctly for the all-important
Google connection ;)

Tell me what you come up with
(OK if you have more than one idea)
and then let's explore the writing.
