To truly be a bum, you will want to host your affiliate links on existing sites, then link back to that page with your bum marketing articles.\u00a0 Before you get into writing countless niche articles, you will need a destination page.\u00a0 Many people drop the paltry sum of a couple dollars per month to host their own website from which they can direct links to.<\/p>\n Only true bums are willing to squat on sites like Squidoo<\/a> or Hubpages<\/a> to sell their affiliate products.\u00a0 This way will you not only get a free page to hock your wares, but you will earn a monthly revenue sharing stipend from the site as well.<\/p>\n In order to be a successful bum marketer, you will need to identify some niche topics.\u00a0 There is so much competition out there that it could take a lot of time to make any sales within a highly competitive field.\u00a0 This is why it is important to attack a niche.<\/p>\n You can still compete for a specific product by bypassing many of the other marketers who are promoting that product. For example, if you are trying to promote a chocolate delivery service that delivers all over the United States, try focusing your articles on specific cities.\u00a0 You will be much more successful with keywords like \u201cCleveland chocolate delivery\u201d than a broad term like \u201cchocolate delivery\u201d.\u00a0 The only problem with this tactic is that it takes a lot of legwork.<\/p>\n When you actually get down to writing your articles to promote your site, you will have to dedicate a lot of time in order to be successful.\u00a0 Since the monetary cost is nil, the time requirement is very high.\u00a0 In order to tap into all of those niche keywords, you could have to write hundreds of articles.\u00a0 This can be extremely tedious.\u00a0 If you have the coin, you can pay writers to do it for you, but then you wouldn\u2019t be a true bum marketer.<\/p>\n You should learn a little bit about keyword placement to get your articles found in the search engines.\u00a0 If you only title your article with your target keywords, then fail to mention that keyword again, your article will not be found often enough for you to make a profit.\u00a0 You should use your keyword several times within your article, and mention it in the tags at the end.\u00a0 If you are given the opportunity, use the <strong> tag to emphasize to the search engines that the keyword is important.\u00a0 Be careful not to overdo it, if the search engines think you are guilty of keyword stuffing, it is all over for that article.<\/p>\n Bum marketing might be old news, but you can still make a ton of money doing it if you take the right approach. <\/strong>Article directories are not the only place to submit your writing to receive bum marketing affiliate commissions.\u00a0 You can also write guest blogs and link back to your site that way (wink).\u00a0 In time, your website will become more popular in the search engines and you will have to rely less on bum marketing to sell your products.\u00a0 The search engines will start to bring more natural traffic to your site, and then you are on easy street.<\/p>\n This article was written by Chris Ruminski who teaches others how to make money online\u00a0at\u00a02makemoneyontheweb.com.\u00a0\u00a0 His site is dedicated to finding the best ways on the internet to make a buck.
