Article Marketing is my passion.
I knew from the start this was the way I could supplement my income. We are going on three years without a cost-of-living increase from social security, and my part time job gives me just three days work.
But you know what--I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel!
These are tough times for millions of Americans and our friends overseas have it even tougher. Seems like one European country after another announces that they are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Desperate times call for desperate measures!
I am a freelance writer but for a time this was a full time job. But of my own choosing I decided I wanted to cut back on my hours. I worked somewhere for someone for over 50 years and I believed I owed it to myself.
Then the economy went sour.
The point is that in November of 2009 I decided I wanted my own home-based business.
I looked at a lot of options, spent a lot of money I could not afford, in an effort to find something productive I could do while working from home.
Finally, a chap named Travis Sago sent me some information on BUM MARKETING.
Whatever is that, you ask? I'll give you a brief explanation. It's a 3-step business plan:
1. Sign up with an affiliate network. There are a bunch of them. I chose ClickBank (CB) because they have a solid reputation for honest dealing. In fact, in their 12 years in business they have paid out nearly 1.7 Billion US Dollars in royalties and commissions. Sign up is FREE.
2. Decide on a niche, a group of people who are searching the Internet for answers to a specific problem. (I chose Weight Loss to begin with. Why--because in the previous month of my doing online research I discovered that over 7 million people typed those "keywords" into Google. I checked ClickBank and found several really good weight loss plans for sale. I signed up to be an affiliate marketer for two of them. Sign up as an affiliate if FREE.
3. Now to drive traffic to these two vendors I decided to try article marketing. Using this approach I wrote articles that ran 400-600 words and I posted them on FREE article directories.
Bum Marketing is a way to do everything for free and still make money. But after nearly 6-months I had not made a penny.
After all I am a writer so writing articles should have been easy for me. Well--it wasn't.
You see, article directories like EzineArticles have very strict rules about what you can and cannot post in their directory. Several of my first attempts were rejected.
It was very apparent to me that I was doing something wrong. Even though I was finally able to get about 25 articles published, the traffic these articles was getting was very low indeed.
And when I had reached the point when I was coming close to just quitting--I met Jim Edwards. Jim is a highly successful Internet Marketer and has published a bunch of e-books on ClickBank. His 6-figure income attests to his knowledge and degree of success.
Jim and his dad Dallas wrote an e-book that seemed tailor-made for me. Turn Words Into Traffic is a CB best seller in the article marketing niche. This book turned my efforts around completely.
I applied the principles of Jim and Dallas' book and--much to my wondering eyes should appear--my first commission check from ClickBank.
Bum Marketing makes good sense. It is a way for countless people to set up and run a business from their homes. Economists say the financial condition of the world will get worse before it gets better. I'm doing my part to help my family survive through some very bad times.
There's no reason on earth why you shouldn't be trying to do the same thing.
You may be held back because you think you lack the talent to run a business. Well there is a big difference between talent and skill. Talents are given to us by our Creator. Skills we acquire--we learn the skills we need to survive.
Article marketing is a proven way to ensure your survival but you will need to develop your skills. Turn Words Into Traffic is a way to learn all you need to know to be a successful article marketer.
You know you are tempted to try this but you may be feeling some reluctance. If you are worried about the cost. The way e-books are sold is the equivalent of a 60 day free trial. If you are dissatisfied for any reason you will get a full refund.'
I am a professional writer but I had the good sense to understand that I needed help. I bit the bullet and paid full price for Turn Words Into Traffic. Is it time for you to bite the bullet and take control of your life?
