Bum Marketing Is NOT Dead!

    Here I am bragging about my little success.

    3 months ago I came across a site that was going to teach me Internet Marketing. Since I lost my job and I didn't have much money saved up - I had to find a way to pay off my rent, bills, 500$/month car and so on...

    I decided to try IM so I signed up for the program and started learning. PPC seemed very tempting, but as I explained I was going broke and could not afford it.

    So I started delivering Pizza's as part time (3-4 hours a day) and started to concentrate on IM - mainly Article Marketing...

    Here are my EzineArticles stats:
    [​IMG]

    As you can see most of my articles have good click rate (+/- 50%) and in November I started seeing sales... in December I made over $1000 from my articles!!!

    I have been kind of lazy since, 3 weeks and not a single article written but still some sales in the passed 3 weeks!

    Here are some screenshots for the passed 3 months:
    account1:

    account 2

    I am now looking into PPC as I have some spare money.

    All this to prove that free advertising such as bum marketing still works and does pretty well.

    3 Months ago I had no idea what Internet Marketing was, I still have TONS to learn but I think the base is starting to take shape:p

    I made $2000 from 45 articles - what if I had 450 articles? or even a 1000? And I am sure this is achievable, most of us could EASILY produce 5-10 articles in couple of hours... My goal is, starting tonight, to have at least 50 New articles every month for a total of at least 200 articles online by April 1st. Then I will see...

    Good luck to you all,

    Alex

    I use bio box as the last paragraph.

    And do not forget, NEVER end your article with:

    "If you want to find out more about XXXXXX, Click Here!....

    :)

    Very good and motivation for others struggling.

    Are you using a different landing page for each article?

    25 of the 45 articles are on the same niche... even same product :)

    Did you spin one article? Also, what wording would you suggest rather than "for more click here"

    What exactly do you mean by "spin one article"?

    Usually I would use the "Call to Action" in the Bio Box... something like:

    Take your life into your own hands! This site will show you how to start making 1000$ a day without any investment!

    ... or...

    There is a quick way to get rid of your [health issue]! This site will teach you how to eliminate [the problem] within 3 days!

    I hope this helps,

    Alex
