Have you ever heard of 'Bum Blogging'?

Have you ever heard of 'bum blogging'? Well, I hadn't, so I did a little research into it and, here's what I found.

In a nutshell, from my understanding...(to date, I haven't really found the information I was hoping to find on it)..'bum blogging' is blogging as an affiliate marketing site, more or less.

First, you find a product that you want to promote...via Clickbank , LinkShare or from one of a number of Affliliate programs that you might be interested in.

Second, you research the product and write a good article about it.

Third, you set up a blog, about that product.

Fourth, you publish the well written article in one of the article submission sites, with a link back to the blog you've just set up.

Fifth, you hop back over to your blog and lay it out so that it is, well written, with good content, personality and a 'call to action'. In short, you tell people

1. what your product is...

2. how it can "improve your life" (lose weight, improve health of pet, make money...whatever this 'improvement' is)..

3. give a 'testimonial' or product review...

4. issue a 'call to action'...tell them to 'get it now'....(you want them to order this product, so the call to action needs to have a little 'urgency' to it.)

5. Make sure you have inserted your affiliate link for this product in your wording at the beginning, somewhere within the product description, and in the closing of your blog post.

6. Insert an image, if possible, of a screenshot of the product you are promoting.

The 'bum blogging' part comes in when you begin to repeat these actions for various products you are promoting. Your odds are greatly improved when you have 10-50-100 of these little 'mini-sites' than to put all of your hope on just 1 'bum blog'.

I'm in the process of setting up several of these...and I'll write more about how this is going..with links...in the near future!
