Article directories

Article directories are places where anybody can submit their articles for free. With each article you can provide a resource box with information and links about yourself and your websites.
By submitting your articles,
you are also allowing the directories to allow other ezine
and content publishers the rights to reprint your articles.
Anybody reprinting your articles have to
provide your resource box with the article.
Here are a few article directories to get you started.

Bukisa - Submit Article - Syndicate - Make Money
A new article publishing site that will pay you to submit your content to them.
Another search engine directory for articles.

free expert content that can be used within email newsletters, blogs or websites.

Make Money At Home! Bum Marketing!

Bum marketing in a nutshell!

Write an article, publish it through Ezine Articles, GoArticles, Associated Content or one of a number of other article publishers.
Provide a link to your blog or website, within the article or the author's resource box and do it all over again!

Sounds easy enough, but there really is more to it than that. For one thing...you need to be sure the article, blog/website is something that you can monetize.

This is one of the biggest reasons that I 'broke down' and joined Wealthy Affiliates. I wasn't 'figuring it out' on my own. Now that it has become 'clearer'...I'm having to go back and rework a lot of my Squidoo Lenses, in order to maximize those.

But, until I've figured it all out...I'm going to be concentrating on my Associated Content Articles
because that is the one site that actually pays for some of the articles upfront, and the rest of the articles for the visits they receive.
They give you 'Calls for Content'...in case you're stuck about what to write about. You can include links to money sites (like Etsy and others) within the articles, provided it is pertinent to the article itself.

My 'plan of action' is to:
1. Select my niche
2. Write an article for Associated Content (embedding the money site link into the article)
3. Write a separate article for Ezine Articles, with a link to either a blog, website or Squidoo Lens.
4. Build a lens, blog, or site around this niche...occasionally a combination of all of these.
5. Link the articles to the site.
6. Go out and 'promote' the heck out of the site in forums, social networks, etc.
7. Write some new and different articles, for Associated Content, Ezine Articles, and Go Articles..on the same niche.
8. Include the links.
9. Do some more promoting.

I may do this four or five times, per niche. The key being...to get myself out there...as somewhat of an 'expert' or 'authority' on this niche.

By this time, I should be seeing income from the niche itself, rather than just from the visits I receive through Associated Content.

Article Marketing Works -- a video

I'm feeling a little 'lazy' today, but still wanted to find you some good information that I thought would be helpful...and I liked that I actually found a You Tube video by a woman. I've really felt this business was a bit 'male dominated'...but, maybe not.

My goals and Reality.

"...these are the goals I've set up for myself..to date!
1. Have five 'bum marketing' sites up and operational..by the beginning of next week.
2. Set up five brand new 'bum marketing' sites every 7 days.
3. Write 1 'how-to' eBook every week, that I will offer as my own product."


These WERE the goals I set up for myself...and to be honest....it didn't happen!

Perhaps I was a bit too enthusiastic and wanted to 'do it all'...right out of the gate...but, being realistic..this is what I actually DID accomplish.

I wrote a lens on 'How to Promote Your Business For Free' , which I will work on how to monetize, at some point..

I signed up to write articles for Ezine articles and Hub pages.

I joined Pepperjam, Linkshare and Share A Sale affiliate programs.

I added affiliate links to my 'Idol Chat and More' blog.


I wrote a number of articles and outlined several 'campaigns' that I plan to 'launch' one at a time over the next few weeks.

Read my 'reviews' on Pepperjam, Linkshare, Share A Sale and Clickbank in the coming days.
I feel that each of these programs has a lot to offer and each deserve a separate post of their own.

A change in direction.

I have decided that I'm going to change directions,
in my '30 Day Work at Home Experiment'.


My 30 day work at home programs experiment.
I am going to follow the FREE steps given for
FOUR 'make money online' Programs.

A. PotPieGirl Programs
B. Bum Marketing
C. Long Tail Treasure
D. Niche Marketing Websites


I discovered, after really looking into these programs,
that they are mostly affiliate niche marketing
programs. So, rather than 're-hash' programs that
are somewhat similar...I'll just go into my approach to
'affiliate niche' marketing and give examples from these
programs.

It's important to have a 'direction'...which in this
case is..niche marketing with affiliate programs..
and even more important..is how to 'make it work'.

I think 'making it work' is more the direction that
we need to learn...so that's the direction we'll be taking
as this experiement progresses.
