Can Bum Marketers Seriously Say How Much They Earning Each Month???

Hi,

I've been doing Bum Marketing for about 6 months, keep submitting articles daily.
It's tiring and I don't know how to increase my sales.

Frankly, I'm earning about $1k monthly.

So any Bum expert around here? How much do you earn ave. monthly?

Pls say truthfully. I'm here a lot of people are really curious.

I know it's possible to earn tens of thousands, but I'm referring to normal people like you and me.

Thanks!

 

Are you backlinking your articles so they rank in the search engines? If you're doing it correctly, your earnings should be going up every month because more and more articles will be ranking.

 

Anywhere between 3K and 5K. (as an affiliate)

You can always scale thing up.

Can you tell me how much articles do you write per day and are you using ezinearticles or something else ? Thanks.

 

Now that you know the basics you should stop firing out 100s of articles to article sites every month, but use the same principles to write articles for your own mini sites. The problem with submitting to article sites only is that the traffic dies away and you have to submit more every week. If you host the article yourself on your own domain and backlink to that with the article sites instead then you will hopefully rise in the search engines yourself and gain steady traffic in the future (will take longer for you to rank in the beginning, but worth it in the long run).

 

Is it ok if I link my articles back to my blog? Will that help my blog to rank higher?

I'm outsourcing article writing currently. I can have 50-100 articles easily. But my problem is I do not know how to do backlinking fast.
Can I backlink to my profile page instead? Since my profile will have all my articles' links as well.
Will it help?

 

Basically instead of having your master article on the article site you have it on your own blog, and instead of backlinking and linking your articles to your master article on the article site you would re-post any articles on your own domain / blog to the article sites and link them all back to your blog / the master article on your blog / landing page... sorry for the rushed description, I am rushing out, but that is the basics of it - instead of posting articles every week and forgetting them you create your own site with them and use them to build backlinks to your site and bring traffic to your site rather than existing as stand alone articles on an article site

 

submitting articles daily can't help you go anywhere if the article didn't receive a lot of views. Let's put it this way.

assume your article has a strong call to action sentence that contribute to 40% of click through rate( from the article to your website) which is pretty good. However there are only a few views a day, then you shouldn't expect sales everyday.

So i would rather spend time on certain number of articles and start brining in traffic to the article through source like yahoo answers and social media etc. No point submitting articles everyday but doing nothing after that.

I only submitted article A to Articlebase and spend 3 weeks to build backlinks and submit to social bookmarking . I am glad that this article generate me 250-300 a month. so now, i will move on to article B since the article A already has steady traffic like 100-300 IP a day.

 

@submp3, while I agree completely with the overall strategy you are promoting here, I feel I need to point out that re-posting your main blog article on the article site is potentially counterproductive to the goal here. Ezine and other such article sites are high traffic, established domains which could (and most probably would) outrank your new blog or website for the same article. Further, you could get a duplicate content penalty on your main blog/website if google decides (and probably will) that the article site is the more trustworthy and authorative site. This is not the case for more established domains, but it is a risky SEO strategy for a new site/blog which has no authority or trust. You are going to want to make sure that the articles you submit to the articles sites are of much lesser quality and significantly different than the main articles on your site.

 

FYI, there is no such thing as a duplicate content penalty. It is a myth that has been mentioned enough times that people talk about it as if it is fact now.

 

Could not agree more. Just laugh when I read all over on the web people talking about duplicate content penalty. Crazy....

 

Add some backlinks to those articles and... KAPOW! Hopefully you should see your sales increase.

 

This is very true. You might get 100 hits in a day, but then only 1/2 visits a week. Still, that is still 100 visits a year and if you produce say 1,000 articles a year on a niche then you have 100,000 hits per year coming to your site on a passive basis (rough figures, but you get the principle)

 

Grant hit it.

It's good to know that you don't have problems regarding producing more and more contents in a regular basis although when it comes to backlinking, you just have to build link wheels within those contents by having each linking back to previous articles then those previous articles linking back to your main website. That way, you extend your traffic network to those other contents and then will push through getting to know more about your market that may increase your sales once they initiate a purchase.

 

@Noahdeck

The content production isn't an issue since there's thousands of writers and you can easily outsource all the work.

The promoting is a different story and can be a tough and time consuming experience.

At this point, affiliate marketing cannot be a part-time job. Anyone can scale things up and work only 2 hours a day, but like after 1-2 years when you've already built several review sites that are constantly bringing in sales every single day.

Al.

 

The real secret to bum marketing is to reinvest your profits into an article writer and then scale your business up to as big as you want it to be.

 

Just started making a decent amount (in my opinion, since I'm 17 and carefree of bills). Around $150 - $250

 

exactly. Always use part of your earnings for more writers. Furthermore, build backlinks to existing articles, dont submit to ezine only. submit to other directories and link back to the EZA articles.

 

I'm confused about the backlinks, If I point out an article to my main one that means that I have 1 backlink. So If I point out 400 articles to my main one that means I got 400 backlinks? Because I've seen some articles ranking on 1st spot on Google with only 350 backlinks, does this mean that with 400 backlinks I will outrank them ?
Thanks in advance

 

Nope. Backlinks are just a small thing that google considers for a #1 spot. Even if you have more backlinks, google will take into account the keyword density, quality of articles, etc, for its results.
