If you are writing, why not get paid as much as possible! I don’t mind making $20 per month for ½ to 1 hour of my time but I know I’m worth at least $100 per hour. How about you? WARNING! Before we get started I’d like to give you a little piece of advice. Try NOT to speed read through this EBook like most people will do! If you can afford the paper and ink it very well may be worth your time and money to print this EBook out to refer to as you build your Bum Marketing Empire! You may miss one vital piece of information and or secret that can take your Bum Marketing efforts to the next level! Moving on… To put it as plain and simple as possible, resale rights (particularly private label rights) are AWESOME! They are one of the best things to ever happen to internet marketing and thousands of people have made a fortune or at least a good living from resell rights. You do need to know how resell rights work for creating products using your Bum Marketing articles that you are writing on specific niches. There are two basic ways to make money with resell rights: • A person can either buy resell rights to someone else’s product which will give them the right to sell it and keep 100% of the profits. • Or, a person can sell resell rights to other people who want to have rights to sell a product and keep 100% of the profits. And that is the two basic ways you can make money with resell rights. So what’s so awesome about that? First of all, if a person has no time to create their own products, no experience, lazy or they simply want to get started with making money on the internet as soon as humanly possible, a person can simple buy resell rights to a product (which will usually come with an already made sales letter and graphics), upload the product to the internet and BAM! They have their own online business! This is what Internet Marketers are looking for. Products that are already created and can easily be plugged into to bring fast profits! Basically, buying resell rights allows a person to start their own online business in under a day...in fact, it can take as little as an hour! Ok, so with resell rights one can start an online business almost instantly. And you can fill that need by using your Bum Marketing niche focused articles to create products! But that is just one of the many reasons resell rights are so awesome. I’ve covered making money by buying resell rights, but what about selling them? Believe it or not, selling resell rights can be even more profitable than buying them! Here’s why... First of all, because resell rights are the absolute easiest and fastest way to start an online business, A LOT of people are buying resell rights. Just take a look at the Warrior Special Offer section and you will see several people buying these type of products. In fact, most people that buy resell rights usually buy resell rights to more than one product. And why not? Instead of buying resell rights to just one product and setting up one online business, why not buy a whole bunch and set up a lot of businesses? And that is exactly what a lot of people that buy resell rights do on the Warrior forum and other places. Ok, so resell rights are HOT and a lot of people are looking to buy them. So that’s one reason to start creating products and selling resell rights. But in my opinion, the main reason why selling resell rights is so great is because of the price you can sell them at. You can sell resell rights to your own products for anywhere from just $10 to over $1,000! So it allows you to have a high priced item that is actually a hot seller. And that is a great way to make a lot of money. All the big names in Internet Marketing make big bucks selling high ticket items. $97 e-books, $197 software and even $997 DVD courses. And unless someone is already an expert they probably don’t have the experience and knowledge to create such high priced products or even the desire. A Bum Marketer will know their niche inside and out after researching and writing 10 to 20 Bum Marketing articles! You are already holding the keys to creating products. Why not get paid more ways than one. When you sell resell rights, you are not only selling an Ebook, report or ecourse. You are not teaching people how to do something, no, what you are doing is actually selling a business that people can actually start making money with! And in most cases, giving somebody a business they can actually make money with is a lot more valuable than simply telling them how to create it themselves. Plus, it’s a lot more appealing as well. Ok, I’ll stop now because I could go on for another 100 pages telling you why resell rights are an awesome way to make money using your Bum Marketing articles as content to easily create them. Now let’s get started by looking at the different types of resell rights available for sale... This is a very important aspect of this type of business to understand.
Choosing Resell Rights - Chapter 2
As you may already know, there are many different kinds of resell rights that you can buy or sell. Here are the main kinds: • Resell Rights Gives the right to resell a product: This can apply to both physical and digital products. Where digital product is concerned, you resell the product and keep 100% of the profits without losing the enjoyment of the same product as digital products are duplicable in nature. • Basic Resell Rights You have the right to resell the product but your customer does not have the right to resell it to another. You keep 100% of the profit after every sale you make. • Master Resell Rights You have the right to resell the product as well as the Basic Resell Rights itself to your customers. Your customers can in turn resell the same book to their customers. The Master Resell Rights can either be bundled together with the purchase of the product or purchased separately from the product. • Private Label Rights This is the grand daddy of all resell rights! Buying Private Label Rights usually give you the right to change the product in any way you like, put your own name on it, sell resell rights or even master resell rights to others and basically use and treat the product as it were your own creation. • Give Away Rights You can give the product away for free. In most cases, however, you cannot resell and/or edit it. I've always preferred to make money constantly even if the project is only half done or in progress. I find it gives me incentive to keep going. Back to the business plan. I am going to give you a simple, easy and extremely fast step-by-step plan on setting up your very own online business in under 24 hours!
Step by Step 24hr Set Up - Chapter 3
NOTE: This plan is a basic plan to set up your business as fast as possible for creating resell rights products and making money by selling them. I will not walk you through this whole process holding your hand, I will simply give you a simple yet profitable plan you can easily follow. There are plenty of ways to sell products you have created. Let’s get started... Step 1: Get a payment processor to accept online payments This is very important, as most of your customers will be paying by credit card. And the best part is, this can be done for free and in as little as a few minutes. Most of you should already have PayPal. The best and most popular online payment processor is Paypal. Paypal enables you to accept credit card payments as well as e-checks and Paypal transfers directly to your Paypal account. You can sign up for Paypal for free at: http://www.paypal.com , this will only take a few minutes! Other good online payment processors are: http://www.clickbank.com http://www.stormpay.com http://www.2checkout.com Step 2: Get web hosting and domain name You need web hosting in order to upload your website and products to the internet. You will have to pay a monthly fee in order to have your website on the internet, but that fee can be as low as $10 a month. Go to 1and1 to get cheap and affordable hosting at: http://www.hostgator.com You need a domain name to have a small and professional web address that people can easily remember and visit your site any time they like. A domain name looks like this: www.yourname.com and usually ends in .com , .net , .org , .tv Go to http://www.godaddy.com to register your domain name for under $10 per year! Step 3: Create Resell rights products! For places to find good resell right products that are being sold everyday, you can go to: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum - go to the Warrior Special Offer section and take a look at the many available products. You can also buy resell rights to these products. Try NOT to limit yourself to one way of making money online. There are many websites selling resell rights on the internet that are looking for new products everyday. Step 4: Upload the product to the internet Once you have created a resell rights product you want to sell it. The next step is to upload it to the internet and set up the payment processor. This is the reason you need web hosting and a domain name. You need the hosting to upload the mini site and sales letter that you create to sell the resell rights products that you have ready for sale, and the domain name will be the web address to your new website. Uploading a website is very easy, but if you have trouble there are hundreds of people that can do it for you. You can either go to the Warrior forum and pay someone to do it for you or ask one of your friends... either way, you can easily find someone to do it for you for a small price, or even for free. And that’s it! There are plenty of places to sell your products you have created from your Bum Marketing writing efforts and cash in on Resell Rights! This is one of those money machines that will make you money on demand for life!
Easy Instant Cash Payments - Chapter 4
When I first started writing I thought I had to write mammoth 200 page Ebooks and provide every bit of information on a topic to make any money at all, but what I found is, I make more money by keeping everything short and to the point as possible. This Ebook is actually considered a bit long for today’s standards, but I like to over-deliver. I’ve been using this method for the past 3 months to quietly fill my PayPal account with nice little $6 and $7 cash payments. In fact I’m the original guy who put a link to this site called www.AssociatedContent.com in one of my free secret reports! But some of you may not realize how easy it can be to add this nice extra income using your Bum Marketing articles that you are already writing anyways! It only takes about 5 minutes to add an article to Associated Content once your account is set up! There have since been entire Warrior Special Offers on this one single discovery. Proof is worth 1,000 words! Here are just a couple of payments that went straight into my PayPal account! There nothing like seeing “Payment From Associated Content” for articles I’m already writing anyways to use for Bum Marketing There are some rules with Associated Content that you should be aware of listed on their site to receive payment. Primarily you have to be a legal resident of the United States and must be 18 years old to get your PayPal payments.
Keyword Research Tools Chapter - 5
Top 10 Google Search Listing - Chapter 6
I’ve been using Ezinearticle for over 3 years now and know them inside and out. I know what to do and what NOT to do. I’ve used a system that takes a lot of work out of doing Bum Marketing keyword research. This one idea alone is worth the price of this EBook if you put it into action and you will soon see why! Have you done any Bum Marketing keyword research? If you have you know how time consuming it can be to say the least! Us bums need a fast and easy way to do our article marketing research! You can easily take a look at what other article marketers are using for their keywords to get swarms of traffic to their articles. Ezinearticles will give you a great spot for your article when you get a certain amount of traffic to your article. This in turn causes a cascading effect once you reach the desired amount of article views. Take a look at this Ezinearticle article here: http://ezinearticles.com/?Blackhead-Removal---How-To-Get-Rid-Of-Blackheads?&id=117624Take a look at the bottom of the listings of: Most Viewed EzineArticles in the Health-and-Fitness:Acne Category You will see: This article has been viewed: 55723 time(s). Article Submitted On: December 23, 2005 That’s 55,723 articles views at the time of this writing! Can you say Waaa Hoooo! One of the reasons is because it is #2 with Google Search Results for “how to get rid of blackheads” at the time of this writing. It was #1 just about 5 days ago! And #1 with Ezinearticles! Imagine having several Bum Marketing articles with these kind of views! It’s easier than you think. When your article is listed as one of the most viewed you get a massive increase in traffic to your article from both Google and Ezinearticles. This is partly due to the internal links to your article within Ezinearticles. Google loves high PR links to your articles and rewards you with higher listings. You can spy on what everyone else is doing with their articles. Most people don’t even know about what they are doing when they write and submit articles when it comes to the marketing aspect of driving traffic! As you can see you can search both Google and Ezinearticles for the Top Listing for any given Bum Marketing keyword and take a look at how many article views and which keywords you will need to use in your articles to get into the list of most viewed Ezinearticles. If you are a real lazy bum, you can simply go straight to the most viewed articles on any given niche at Ezinearticles and target the keywords that are used if they meet your Bum Marketing criteria in the titles of the most viewed article list within about 5 minutes! It doesn’t get any easier than this to get top rankings and a swarm of traffic to your Bum Marketing articles! Here is another Secret! If you want to give your article a boost up in the Google Search Results simply use any one of these sites listed below by putting your Ezinearticle link within a teaser article submitted to these types of high PR traffic sites with your “bum marketing keyword phrase” in the anchor text! Here is the HTML that works for most of the sites listed below to use in your anchor text. Just include the HTML in your byline like this: You can simply add ClickBank, your own product links and or other affiliate links into “yoursitehere” section. That’s all there is to it.
Boost Your Backlinks - Chapter 7
Here are some the biggest sites to place free classified advertising using your Bum Marketing articles and to build strong backlinks to your Ezinearticles to boost them up to higher ranking with Google Search results! There are 12 sites listed below. http://classifieds.myspace.com Alexa Rank: 5 http://www.craigslist.org/ Alexa Rank: 28 http://adlandpro.com/ Alexa Rank: 1,298 http://www.backpage.com Alexa Rank: 2,133 http://usfreeads.comhttp://www.oodle.com/ Alexa Rank: 5,501 http://www.adpost.com/ Alexa Rank: 6,906 http://www.sell.com/ Alexa Rank: 13,471 http://www.adquest3d.com/ Alexa Rank: 22,252 http://www.chooseyouritem.com/ Alexa Rank: 19,569 http://www.domesticsale.com/ Alexa Rank: 24,207 http://epage.com/ Alexa Rank: 24,834 People want to learn something and they want to learn it quickly as possible. So here are many other methods that I'm going to show you how to profit from writing your Bum Marketing articles.
Create Articles in Minutes - Chapter 8
What most people don't realize is that the work is already done for them, they don't need to come up with unique content from the top of their heads, they just need to look for what is already out there and improve on it. Every possible topic has been covered and covered well by someone, but most of the time these people don't even want to profit from their work, they do it for the fun of it, which is great for you. While you can't steal these people's hard work, (we wouldn’t want to anyway, we want to profit from our work) you can use their ideas and learn from their content to write your own Bum Marketing articles. Anyone can become an expert enough in a subject to write a 500 word article on it in minutes if you have the write content in front of you. I'm skipping ahead of myself here, but I'm going to tell you where to find this content now, then tell you how to come up with Bum Marketing article ideas afterwards. When I come up with an article idea I go directly to the source of the Internet's content. Online bulletin boards, FAQ pages and Article directories! Every time I need to learn about something to write about it or just for the heck of it, I go to these places. http://www.faq.org http://www.goarticles.com http://www.groups.google.com Everything I could ever want to know about nearly every niche subject known to man I can find for free there, if you're willing to dig for it. All I then do is dissect all the information out of the articles, re-write them into my words and add a snazzy article title. So say you wanted to write an article or articles on golf swing tips to promote a golf tips Ebook thru clickbank.com, here's what I would do. I would go to www.Groups.google.com and type in golf swing and see what questions people were asking. I would also go to Goarticles.com and type in golf swing and see what articles are already written and how many people have viewed them so you can tell which article topics are the most popular. Then when I wanted to start writing my Bum Marketing article I'd go to FAQ.org and look there for golf swing Frequently Asked Questions and re-write that content in my own words for my own Bum Marketing articles. ****DISCLAIMER***** I don't mean steal other peoples content when I say re-write. I mean use the FAQ's are a place to research a topic and then use that research as a bases for your articles. Your Bum Marketing articles don't have to be masterpieces that are 5000 words in length, in fact it will help your sales if you keep them short 300 to 500 words and you give your readers information they can instantly use and implement. As you may already know the most important part to your article is your article title, it will make or break your Bum Marketing article. When people read articles they want information that they can use straight away. Say for instance you're writing about how to get your baby to sleep better at night, then you'd want a title something like this. "A Better Nights Sleep For You And Your Baby That You Can Implement Tonight In 3 Easy Steps!" Try to remember people love a story, success story or even a failure.
Profit From Affiliates and Resells - Chapter 9
The biggest reason why I failed when I first started online was because I complicated things. All you have to do is create simple short reports, Ebbooks, opt-in list and a free autoresponder series using your Bum Marketing articles all created from articles you are already writing anyways! Then advertise them directly with forums, article Bios, ezines and other simple methods that I will show you.
Select 3 Related Affiliate Programs - Chapter 10
To make this work and not be a one hit wonder, you will need to select THREE affiliate programs to join. The criteria to select these programs is a little different then going out and selecting the affiliate program with the biggest commission, even though this does play a role. Of course, all the affiliate programs you promote will have to be on the one niche subject so you can stay focused on one niche at a time with your Bum Marketing niche article sets of 10 to 20. For instance, say your first affiliate program is an Ebook on Mini Sites, then your second affiliate program you sell could be a members only site based on Mini Sites and your third affiliate program could be a service where someone creates a network of Mini Sites for your customers. I will talk more about this later, and how the pricing is crucial. The first affiliate program you promote will want to be one which pays a larger then normal commission on the first sale. Do not accept anything less then 40% commission for your first affiliate program. The reason for this is because we want to make a profit on the first affiliate program and by selling any product that does not make you at least $20 per sale you will not profit straight away. The main aim of this is to really build up your Opt-in Mailing list. If you break even, don't be discouraged. Breaking even is an amazing result, and if you have built your list up, then you will be profiting for years to come! So for your first affiliate program, choose a product that sells for around $40 to $50 and where you still get at least 40% of the total profits. Your second affiliate program you join will be in the category of what we call "Residual Income". This is an affiliate program that pays you every month someone stays signed up for their product or service. For example, if you were to promote a web hosting company, and they charged $25 a month, you would get around $10 a month for as long as that person stays signed up for web hosting. I believe this is the closest way to earning a secure living every month. I’ve made over $750 from a single article using residual affiliate links in my Bio! These are great programs to promote because all they require is a little hard work up front and you're set for months, even years. That's why I recommend promoting this type of program once you have a large list of names to email to. Of course you will still be promoting your free course to other people, but this is a way to make back end sales from your current list. Don't think if you've advertised to these people once, that's all they are good for. I will talk more about this later. You can find a large list of Residual Income affiliate programs at: www.LifeTimeCommissions.com Which is run by Allan Gardyne. He knows everything there is to know about affiliate marketing. Now your third affiliate program will also be a program that you will promote to your current subscriber list. This program should pay you a large lump sum of money. This type of program will have a lower conversion rate, but you should be making $80 to $150 commission per sale. If you would like to find a directory of affiliate programs, visit www.AssociatePrograms.com
Create A Free Report Series - Chapter 11
I'm going to keep this step very simple and to the point, but remember, this step is Vital to your Bum Marketing, Resell Rights and affiliate marketing success. I will go as far as saying that if you create a responsive Opt-In list, 75% of your work is done for you already! That goes for anything you're doing online. Why do you think Travis created a free course for the Bum Marketing Method! If you have subscribed, you know how effective his newsletter is. I’m excited to receive his informative emails every week. And what does he promote? That’s right an awesome affiliate program for the back end sales along with other related affiliate programs, software and tools the help us bums out! Again this is VITAL to understand before reading any future! There in no one single SECRET to success with Bum Marketing! You need to build an opt-in list that is targeted to the affiliate programs you are promoting. This is simply one of the BIGGEST GOLDEN KEYS! to your long term success with Internet Marketing using what you are about to read. O.K. Moving on... The first free report you create using your Bum Marketing articles will be promoting the first affiliate program you chose from step 1. It should be priced around $40 or $50 and pay you around $20 to $25 per sale. Creating your free mini reports is easy by using your Bum Marketing articles that you have already written. Either find 5 articles on your niche subject that you've already written, PLR articles you are allowed to use, or create 5 articles from scratch. They don't have to be long, only around 300 to 500 words. You are going to send them out to your prospects over 5 days using your autoresponder. Make sure these mini reports are full of useful information, not just blatant advertising. You do however get a chance to advertise to them directly later. I create autoresponder series by using 5 to 10 Bum Marketing articles on the niche topic of the affiliate program that I’m promoting. For instance, if I were writing a report on search engine ranking, I would create the following articles. 1. The Tools Of The Search Engine Specialist 2. Meta Data, Yes Or No? 3. How Mini Sites Can Generate Thousands In Extra Visitors! 4. Getting Listed In Yahoo! The Easy Way 5. Creating Keywords Relevant To Your Site 6. Search Engine Ranking On A Budget 7. The Biggest Search Engine Myths And so on.. Everyone can write. Keeping it simple is the best way to go. Don't get daunted by the task ahead of you otherwise you will delay doing anything at all. If you want to make money hand over first this is what it takes. Another tip I have for writing Bum Marketing articles is to jot down points, and use those points to build your article. For instance, when writing "How Mini Sites Can Generate Thousands In Extra Visitors", I would jot down points like this. * Choosing A Domain Name * Finding Cheap Web Hosting * Using Keywords Throughout The Web Site * Submitting To Search Engines * Tracking Hits * Doing This All Over Again I would then write 100 to 200 words per point and voila!, there's your first Bum Marketing article/report for you to use any way you want! Now when sending out your free mini report with your autoresponder, it should be set up something like this. When the person signs up, they get part 1, then for the next 4 days they get parts 2, 3, 4 and 5. In these messages, you will get a chance to advertise to them in the first and last sections of your message. Here's an example in blue text to (easily identify) of an autoresponder message you can send out. Hi [[firstname]],

Part 1, Becoming A Bum Marketing Super Affiliate On A Budget With Mini Affiliate Sites
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Earning a good income from Affiliate Programs is not as hard as everyone make's it out to be.
The figure's are that 95% of all affiliates never earn enough to warrant a check. And of those 5% only 1 to 2% earn enough to live off their commissions.
That's not good news for the "average" Joe Affiliate is it.
But I'm telling you now, it does not have to be that hard. All you need is a simple formula that work's over and over again. It really is that simple.
The hard part is doing it all on a very tight budget, which I will show you how right now.
(I recommend grabbing a pen and paper and writting down any good points)
******* 2 Unsuccessful Bum Marketing Affiliate Strategies *******
Here are a few thing's that kill any chance Affiliate's have of earning any decent commissions.
1. They Simply Do Nothing To Promote The Affiliate Program
This is the most common mistake I see happening. People simply sign up for the Affiliate Program and they either think the money is magically going to roll in, or they simply didn't take the responsibility of being an Affiliate as seriously as they should have. Because most Affiliate Programs are free to join, people don't really take it as seriously as say someone who pay's $1000 for resell rights to a certain product. You need to treat your Bum Marketing Affiliate Network like a serious business or you will never earn serious profits.
That's why I only let people who buy my course join my Affiliate Program. This I think makes it fair for the people who are willing to spend some money on their business.
No matter how hard you try, you will have to open your wallet sooner or later.
2. They Get Incorrect Information From So Called Experts Or Read Outdated Material.
Two big myths, free classified ad style advertising works and placing paid advertising for their program will reap huge profits. All incorrect. Let me explain why.
FFA posts and free classified ad's use to work. You could once rely on these to bring in a fair bit of money. Now days though, I feel the work you have to put into them is too much trouble for the results you get. You would be lucky to even get a response from this sort of advertising. That also goes for putting Affiliate banner links up and expecting that too work.
The biggest secret for all Affiliates is to create a 1 page site that's focused on one niche product and theme.
1 product + 1 Web Site = Big Profits. If you don't remember anything else, remember that.

Before we get into creating your Mini Affiliate Site we need to select an Affiliate Program to promote as mentioned earlier. If you already have one you want to promote, move on, if not read on :)
When selecting your first Affiliate Program for your Mini Affiliate Site, I suggest you go for a product with a rather large price tag, so you can make profit's from day one. Of course the big money comes from your backend, which we will talk about later.
I alway's suggest you promote a product you have used and or trust before anything else if at all possible.
Don't just promote an Affiliate Program because of the commissions, as that's a sure fire way to fail.
If you're looking for a directory of Affiliate Programs to join instantly, I suggest you look at Allan Gardyne's AssociatePrograms.com
Setting up a web site now has never been easier. A few year's ago, domain names sold for $35 for 1 year, and webhosting was about the same for 1 month. Now it's so very inexpensive.
The last time I checked you could get a dot com, net, org names for only $7.95.
As I speak, there's a new hosting company that specialises in hosting Mini Sites. They are www.bizminisites.com and for only $9.95 you get 3 months of quality web hosting.
If you would like an example of a very effective Mini Site have a look at the following sites.

http://www.websitehere.comAs you can see, you will want to put your own web site address and special offers throughout the report. But I was telling people to go to my website. If you don't have a web site, you would put a little advertisement for your affiliate program at the start and at the end of your reports. Also, you can put your affiliate links throughout the report as long as it’s in context, not blatant plugging of your affiliate program. Trust me, this does not work. If your prospect hasn't purchased from you after your free reports have been sent out, don't worry. The next part is where you will get most of your sales. Considering there are so many other affiliates promoting the same or similar product you are, you have to make them want to buy from you. How do you do this? Easy, you over deliver. You give them more then what they expected, and you distance yourself from being a no name affiliate and turn yourself into a trusted friend. I like to do this by giving away something else if they purchase from the affiliate program I'm promoting. For instance, I give away consultation free, where I help them with any problems they might have with Bum Marketing. Here's an example of a report in (blue text) used to get people in the buying mode. Mind you this is for an example product so you can simply get the idea. It’s a book from KillerMiniSites.com that was purchased with resell rights for $249.95. Hi Firstname,
I have a secret for you that will hopefully make you very excited.
As you know, Killer Mini Sites is selling from my web site for $22.70, $79.95 and $249.95. If you're confused about the different options, let me explain.
For $22.70, you get a copy of the book Killer Mini Sites and you can resell the book to your web site visitors for $24.95. But remember, this option is full of my Affiliate Links, where I'm earning money from your hard work.
For $79.95 you get a fully branded copy of Killer Mini Sites that you can sell for $24.95 with your Affiliate Links that will earn you residual income constantly.
For $249.95 you get a fully branded copy of Killer Mini Sites that you can sell for $24.95, you also get to sell the customization rights for $79.95 and the big profit puller is you can sell the MASTER RIGHTS for a massive $249.95 per sale.
But, here's the best bit. I'm offering, for a very limited time only, the MASTER RIGHTS to Killer Mini Sites for ONLY $150. I'm slashing $100 dollars off the price and I'm throwing in FREE Consultation with me via email any time you need help.
That's right, you get your own Internet Publishing Business complete with website sales letter and branding utilities, and FREE consultation that I sell elsewhere for $147.00.
To be honest, I don't know what you're waiting for, this offer will not be around for long.
You can purchase the MASTER RIGHTS Today by clicking the link below. Remember, this link is for the $150 MASTER RIGHT option.
http://www.clickbank.net/sell.yourlink
I can tell you now, the book is selling like hot cakes and if you purchase today, I will give you my secret tactic that makes 1 in every 45 people purchase this product.
I will also show you how to get unlimited email leads for you to advertise to constantly without spamming.
If this is not a big enough motivator to purchase today, I don't know what is.
If you would like more information about the book, which in itself is amazing, visit my web site at

P.S, If you don't order today, please email me and tell me what’s stopping you so I can sweeten the deal.This type of offer gets an amazing response. You want to send it out 2 days after the free mini course is over. The pull here was that to give them $100 off the price of the product, plus still give them free consultation for 6 months. The options are limitless. Of course this would not be the end of your contact with them. If the prospect still hasn't purchased the first affiliate program you're promoting that's OK. Don't go breathing down their necks telling them to purchase from you or else. The lifetime value of a prospect is a lot more then just a one off sale. That's why for this very reason, you selected three affiliate programs to promote. Instead of trying to get the prospect to buy the one product over and over again, offer them something fresh. With this in mind, I recommend offering them a residual income affiliate program, like a membership site. Create another mini report using your Bum Marketing articles and start all over again. An Opt-in list is a continues funnel of money for a life time if treated properly! Of course, when people purchase from you, they should be taken off the prospect list, and added to your customer list. This list is your most important asset. It's 10 times as important then your prospects list because these people showed they were willing to buy from you. Some affiliate programs don't allow you to see the email addresses of people who buy from you, so that's why when you're giving away your special offer in conjunction with your affiliate program, you ask them to send you an email when they have purchased, then you will give them what ever bonus you were offering. (Remember, when your prospect buys something from you, they become a customer, so do not forget to take them off your prospects list.) With these people, you will want to give them other special deals not available to your prospect list. The first email sent to them should be thanking them for their purchase, and letting them know how they can receive their free bonus and how they can contact you at anytime. The second email sent to them should be sent a few days later giving them another free bonus they were not expecting. I love it when people do this for me, and I suggest you do this for your customers, because that's what they are, they are your customers. There is no cost once you have created your Bonus. The third email you send them should be sent out about 7 days after they purchase from you. This email should offer them a backend product, for instance your residual income affiliate program. If you can, see if you can talk to the affiliate program manager and get a special discount rate on the product, or maybe the first month for $1, just for your customers. I doubt any affiliate program manager would reject a sure fire way to make even more money. In the mid to long term, this will build a nice on going lifelong income for you. About 7 days after your third email was sent, send them another discount product, but make sure this product is in the high commission range. This is where you will make most of big income from your Bum Marketing Empire! You will earn a decent income with smaller sized commissions, but when you start selling larger priced affiliate programs when you already have a list of contacts, it becomes a very large automated income system. Bum Marketing and the information business is truly the best business to be in. I get excited when I'm writing report, Ebooks and mini reports (courses) and thinking about the possibilities. Make sure you keep in contact with your customer base and offer them more free reports created from your Bum Marketing articles that are niche focused and other special offers every month or two. Just make sure you don't over do it. I’ve received orders from the same customers more than 6 times for different products. There are not too many autoresponders that can handle this sort of work load for a cheap price, however, I have found one that will do this and more. It's called Aweber.com and you can get a free trial for 30 days. Then after that it's only $19.95 per month. They give you unlimited autoresponders and other great options. You won’t find anything else like it. If you're after a residual income affiliate program to promote, I recommend this service. Now how many businesses do you know of that can run on a $19.95 investment only every month? If you really want to keep generating income constantly, you could produce free reports every month from your Bum Marketing articles, and advertise them to your current list, while still advertising your first affiliate program report. Imagine having an around the clock sales machine sending out free reports to thousands, while promoting your affiliate program's and building a name for yourself with Bum Marketing articles and creating Resell Rights reports and Ebooks. The sky is the limit for us bums!
Marketing Affiliate Program Via Free - Chapter 12
This is the easier step, yet the step most people have trouble with. Creating an excellent free report is ALLOT harder then advertising your free report but NOT if you already are writing Bum Marketing articles on a focused niche that relates to the affiliate program! It's just a matter of coming up with a list of good forums, ezines and discussion boards to advertise on. Plus you should generate a list of ezine publishers so you can send them articles to use for their ezine. This will add to your Bum Marketing Empires bottom line. While all these ways will produce you a nice flow of subscribers, you really can't beat Co-registration for price, effectiveness, speed and ease of use. It's not unheard of to generate hundreds of new subscribers everyday using Co-registration, and it's true, they won't be as responsive as people from a web site promoting your free report, but you didn't have a web site to start with. Ezine advertising would have to be my favourite paid option for promoting a finished reports and Ebooks, as it's quick and easy. The only hard part is writing the ad copy for your ads, and finding ezine's to advertise in. Apart from that, there are two ezine directories called: TopEzineAds.com and Directoryofezines.com There is a cost to use these, but they will be your lifeline until you generate a list of ezines yourself. The whole aim of this advertising campaign is to generate leads for your free report, so you really want to advertise anywhere you think people might be interested in your report. Since your not going for a direct sale straight off the bat, this somewhat allows you to be a little less worried about how targeted your audience is. Writing classified ads for Ezines has turned into somewhat of an art form. There are literally hundreds of books on the subject of writing successful classified ads, yet most over complicate it too much. So what makes a good classified ad? A good classified ad consists of the following, 1) An attention grabbing headline FREE REPORT SECRETS REVEALED HOW TO 2) A promise Become A Millionaire Overnight Earn $1200 In Two Weeks FREE REPORT: Secrets Of The Bum Marketing Super Affiliates Revealed! How To Become A Bum Marketing Super Affiliate On A Tight Budget! 3) A call to action For More Information Be Quick Or You Will Miss Out FREE REPORT: Secrets Of The Bum Marketing Super Affiliates Revealed How To Become A Super Affiliate On A Tight Budget For More Information, Send A Blank Email To Your@autoresponderhere.com Once you've found a few good ezine's, keep advertising with them. After you think you've got the most out of their classified ad section, start using sponsorship ads. While this will be quite a steep climb in costs compared to classified ads, the results will be quite dramatically different. Top sponsorship ads can cost anywhere between $15 to $300 dollars depending on where you're advertising. I recommend using top sponsorship ads if you don't want to spend a lot extra on purchasing a solo ad. However, if you can purchase a solo ad for an extra $50 or so, I would definitely go for the solo ad. Sponsorship ads also give you an idea of how well their ezine pulls and whether or not it's worth the time and money to buy a solo ad. Don't get carried away with figures when you purchase a solo ad. When I first started out, I advertised a product directly via my solo ad. The ad went out to 10,000 people and going on the figures of 1% buying my product, I thought this Internet Marketing thing wasn't that hard. I did my research, I was told this ezine was good, which it is, and I went for it. The commission I was going to receive for every sale was $30. So 100 were suppose to buy, times $30 per sale came to $3000. How much money did I actually make from this ad? $30! That's right, I only made $30. Why? 1. Because I advertised the affiliate program directly 2. I did not know the affiliate program had been advertised about 10 times before 3. I didn't even have a way to capture email addresses This was for an affiliate program called the Plug-In-Profit Site about 3 years ago. However, it is a great residual income program so not all was lost. It was a total flop and I was very put off from trying again and was bummed out to say the least. No pun intended. LOL That lasted about 4 hours! That night I was re-reading the information that got me into this mess to start with. I followed exactly what the affiliate program creator said to do, and it didn't work. Luckily for me, at that time I stopped listening to affiliate program creators and started thinking for myself. Have a look around any ezines you've joined, and try and remember if you read any of the ads. If so, which one's and why? Did you sign up for what they were offering? If no, Why? This is the best way to find ezine ads that work. If you read the ad and signed up for what they were offering, other people would have as well. Well, you would hope so. Another method of free advertising is discussion board posting. Discussion board posting is free and very effective, especially if the message board is inside a members only site where you pay to join. The idea here is not to spam the message board, but to actually add some content. Only answer questions you know a lot about. Don't try and be an expert on a topic your not. You can use parts of your Bum Marketing articles in most cases for your answers. I'm not an expert at copywriting, so I very rarely give people expert advice on this. I help people with basic questions, but no more unless I really know what I'm talking about. This is the best way to ruin your reputation before you're even lucky enough to create one. I must admit, I don't use the following advertising method as much as I should but it can really boost traffic over time.
Generate Monthly Viral Income - Chapter 13
Here's the idea. We've all been taught to create free viral Ebooks to either promote our products or affiliate products and submit them to free Ebook directories. This was sound advice, but I've found an even better way to make this work. Create your own free Ebook directory full of your own free viral Ebooks from your Bum Marketing articles like we discussed earlier! Think Clickbank.com but with free Ebooks on all subjects that you own, promoting affiliate programs 24/7 on auto pilot! People go to this site, download the free book they want, they pass it around, and there you go, automated affiliate income on auto pilot! But how do you go about creating these free Ebooks so they produce the best sales possible? I've found by creating an FAQ list (frequently asked question) on a certain niche subject and then converting it into PDF, my affiliate sales have soared. I'm not trying to heavily sell them in the book, they are getting very useful free information and I then point them to a paid resource to get more information if they want to. I also ask them to pass the book around as much as they like. Want an example of an FAQ list? Go here http://www.faqs.org/faqs/body-building/hardgainer-faq/ This FAQ list is quite big and detailed. Your free Ebooks only need to be 5 or so pages long using your Bum Marketing articles for your niche content. Here is how to create a viral Ebook. It will give you an idea of what we’re talking about. Whether you like it or not, having your own product gives you more flexibility in your online advertising AND believe it or not, compiling an Ebook is no more then a weeks work part time using your Bum Marketing articles for content. And if done correctly and IF you do it using the Viral method, the profits will come in for life. I have money going straight into my PayPal account from work I did over 1 year ago, thanks to the power of residual income affiliate programs and viral marketing Ebooks. Ok, lets get down to the nitty gritty. What is a viral marketing Ebook and why should you create one using your Bum Marketing articles? A viral marketing Ebook is a book which sole purpose is to be spread around the Internet quickly, by any means possible. It's not meant to make you money on the front end. You want other people selling it and giving it away to as many people as possible. Why? Because the inside of that book is full of your affiliate links to other peoples products and every time someone gives away your book or sells it, (depending on how you want to do it) more people will be seeing your affiliate links, and this is costing you what? NOTHING? Exactly! The best examples I could give you of this process would be by Yanik Silver. He created 2 marketing books that spread over the Internet like wildfire. He gave everyone who purchased the Ebook for $19 or $17 (depending on the book) the rights to sell it or give it away to their customers. Needless to say, thousands of people starting selling it and promoting it all over the Internet. To this day, he is still earning good money from that book, plus he became one of the most well known Internet Marketers to date. So how do you go about creating your own viral marketing Ebook? Here are the steps. 1) Come up with a product idea based on your affiliate program you've already chosen and are already promoting using your Bum Marketing articles. Coming up with ideas isn't hard. For example, if you are going to be promoting a golf affiliate program, why not create an Ebook on becoming a great golfer. Then throughout the Ebook, you can recommend your favourite golf affiliate program. 101 insider secrets to long golf drives! How to become a golf pro using other secrets! A good way to come up with ideas is to look at what others are already selling and mimic that. You don’t need to recreate the wheel here, so PLEASE don't make things harder then they have to be when creating your Ebooks and reports. Taking your Bum Marketing Empire to the next level. 2) Get the tools you need to succeed You are going to need a few tools here. A) A domain name You can register all your domain names with http://www.namecheap.com for under $9 a domain name, which to me is pretty darn cheap. You want a fairly short domain name that describes the content of your book fairly well. Here's an example for you people promoting golf affiliate programs. This is just examples and are not my actual sites. http://www.golfaffiliates.com etc.... B) Webhosting Let me say first, you get what you pay for. This has never been more true then with webhosting. YOU NEED a good reliable webhosting company with 24/7 technical support. If your site goes down and you can't contact anyone to help you get it back up, you will lose sales and a lot of them. I use Host4Profits for the simple fact they offer all you need, plus a lot more for a reasonable price and you can add new domains for $5 each! C) Autoresponder You will need this so you can contact your prospects that don't purchase straight away. This is where you will give away your free course or someway to entice them to give you their email address so you can contact them periodically. D) Credit card processor Just use http://www.clickbank.com. This step is too easy. They will let you accept all major credit cards and start an affiliate program for a one time setup fee of under $50. They do take a percentage of every sale, but this is so much cheaper then getting your own merchant account. Just about everyone selling Ebooks online is using Clickbank. E) Ebook Software You will more then likely want to create your book in PDF format so everyone can read it. Some Ebooks come in EXE format, but mac users can't read that format, so I find it best to use PDF. You can create your book with http://www.createpdf.com for a fairly cheap price. F) Graphic Design Software If you are anything like me, your artistic abilities peaked at age 11. So instead of busting my hump to create my Ebook covers and website graphics you can http://www.ecovergenerator.com and http://www.headergenerator.com for all your graphics. You can even get a free video. They are great pieces of software that you can use instead of hiring graphic designers. 3) Outline your book chapters into articles Writing a whole book in one sitting is hard, and trying to write an Ebook without outlining the chapters is nearly impossible. My first book I ever wrote took me over 1 month but now most of my books take me less then two weeks to finish. All you have to do is think up 10 to 20 article topics in sequence and write about them using your Bum Marketing articles on the niche of your choice. Each page should be around 500 to 1000 words, full of useful information, not information people could get for free. 4) Write your content using your Bum Marketing articles You need original content relating to your niche. There are too many books out there now where people are just regurgitating information others can get for free and this lowers the value of your book, which means less people will pass it around and even less will read it. Also remember when you’re writing what the point of the Ebook is. The point of the book is to earn you an on going commission with affiliate programs, so don't feel like you can't throw some affiliate links in, because you can, but make sure it's tactful and in place. Another good idea would be to put a "Subscribe to my newsletter" section in your book as well, so not only will you make commissions on sales, but also generate leads without doing any extra work. Make sure you clearly state in the front of the book, that the buyer can sell this book as his own. State that he has Resell Rights to the product and can sell it or give it away if he chooses. 5) Create your sales letter This is where you will be selling your book from and is critically crucial to your success. Creating a sales letter takes a lot of work, especially if you’re new to the whole thing. The best way and the way I use, is to mimic successful sales letters. Do not copy them word for word. Simply use them as a model. I recommend you have a look at the following sales letter selling Ebooks. http://www.turnwordsintotraffic.comIf for some reason you think you can't do this by yourself, you have 2 options. 1) Use software that helps put together your sales letter and 2) Hire a copywriter Software is great and there are 2 options out there. The first one is http://www.instantsalesletters.com by Yanik Silver and http://www.saleslettergenerator.com by Armand Morin. They are just as good as each other. However, if you want to hire a professional copywriter, your looking at thousands of dollars, plus royalties from your book sales. Remember that you’re selling this book with reprint rights, which means when they buy the book they can sell it as well. This is a huge selling point for you. You will also be giving them your Ebook cover, website graphics and sales letter to use to sell your product. 6) Plug in your free 5 day autoresponder series you created using your Bum Marketing articles The best way to write your free 5 day course that your prospect get via your pop up window and or article Bios is to take chapters out of your book and put them in as a free teaser. Remember to emphasize an urgency. You want to make these prospects who don't buy straight away, feel like they are missing out on an opportunity of a life time and considering the low price of the book, if they don't buy, more then likely they weren't really interested or were freebie seekers from the start. 7) Advertise! Depending on your topic, you will want to target different people. However, no matter what topic you’re selling on, there is one market who will want your book for the sole purpose of selling it, and that's the Internet Marketing group. The Warrior forum is one of the top places to sell quality products that you have created! Your book could be on Hippo's but all they care about is the fact they can sell it as their own. This is why this type of book always does well. The key is to target people in your market and then the Internet Marketing crowd.
Profit Secrets - Chapter14
Being an affiliate is a hard enough job at the best of times, but have you ever tried to get your article published in a large ezine publication? It can be a nightmare sometimes. It's even harder if you try and work your affiliate link into the article. Your Bum Marketing articles are a great way to get free exposure for your web site and your affiliate program. Hopefully your goal will be to get Opt-In email addresses and you have some sort of free report system working that you created using your Bum Marketing articles as mentioned earlier. However, this idea will get your article published 100% more then you do now. This works especially well if you're running an Opt-In mailing list which I recommend you do. Ezine publishers receive hundreds of articles for publishing a week, so why should they publish yours? You might think you have the best article ever written, and you might, but ezine publishers have to make money too you know. This idea not only will increase your chances of getting published but you will also be helping ezine publishers make more money, which in the long run they will remember and will be more receptive to your articles in the future. Here's the idea. When you write your article, try and work an affiliate link into it. Make sure it's in context and not just a blatant advertisement as that's why most ezine publishers refuse to publish affiliate members articles. As I was saying, write your article and in that article put a link to an affiliate program you're promoting in context in your article. It helps when doing this that you can say that you honestly use that product or service. I guarantee you a personal endorsement in your article will double the sales you would get with out an endorsement. The twist here is that the affiliate link you put in will be changed by the ezine publisher. You will be letting the ezine publisher change your affiliate link in your article so they can earn commissions from your article and therefore increasing the chances of getting your article published. This has never failed for me and I'm sure it won't fail for you. So how do you make money from this? Well if you have your own autoresponder free report series set up from your Bum Marketing article content, you can use that in your article by line. You would make more sales from this then from commissions from the article. Your goal in any affiliate exercise is to get as many Opt-In email addresses as possible and as cheaply and quickly as possible! Make sure your article by line is something that catches the readers attention. Here’s a by line example used when promoting an article on Mini Sites. You can see how many people click on the link by using a tracker. Your Name has been helping people succeed online for over X years and has dedicated his life to Internet Marketing. Visit his web site to find out how you can create mini sites that sell like crazy. Go to his website at http://www.websitehere.comHowever, if you wanted to promote your free autoresponder report series I would use something like this. Your Name has been helping people succeed online for over X years and has dedicated his life to Internet Marketing. Find out how to earn a full time automated income with affiliate programs on a budget by sending a blank email to your@autoresponderhere.comYou can have many variations of this by line. This is one of the most effective ways to use your Bum Marketing articles. Going for the one off sale is ridiculous and risky to your Bum Marketing Empire!
