On the first months of my internet venture, I’ve heard tons of ways to make money online. For a start, you have those “Get paid to” sites. Pretty tempting for a 13-year old back then, but I never tried one. You have eBay and a whole lotta other ways. But what have most intrigued me is this - bum marketing.
For the next months, I will be doing a live experiment, testing if bum marketing still works.
What is bum marketing?
Easy as pie. You write an article related to the product that you will be promoting as an affiliate then submit it to Ezinearticles.com. Do the process hundred times. Wait for the search engines to rank you article.
Higher rankings = more traffic to your article = more clicks to your affiliate link = more affiliate sales.
Listen. Here’s the secret to bum marketing success… domination. Dominate every search term for the product.
Let’ say…

Today we are going to complete our 7 Steps to Media Fame experiment. This is a continuation from part one, so if you didn’t read part one, and would like to get your website, blog, or business mentioned in the national media… for FREE, then go and read part one first.
STEP FOUR – Write an Overview
You now should have some email replies, some will be positive and some will be negative. It is likely that they will want an overview from you.
Warning: Journalists will try to use a more complex word than “overview”, I don’t know why they do this, perhaps to seem more intelligent, but expect to be asked for:
- A Capsualization
- An Outline
- A Précis
- A Synopsis
I was personally asked for a 200 word Précis. Just remember, they want a general overview of the story.
Your goal here is to write an overview that is interesting, easy to understand, fairly well written, and has…

7 Steps To Media Fame - Part 1
Hello, My name is Dean Hunt and I recently had an article about my life published in the UK’s largest, quality newspaper (The Telegraph - 900,000 copies sold per day). Carl asked me to show his readers how they can achieve national fame and a huge boost in web traffic, so I will be showing you the EXACT 7 steps I used to get this huge, FREE media attention.
STEP ONE – Brainstorm
Ok, you want a story in a national newspaper or magazine… but what story?
It would be nice to just have our web address in big writing on the front page, but the world doesn’t work like that. We need to find news worthy story.
At this point we will have to brainstorm, so grab a pad and pen and do the following:
- Decide what you want to promote – is it your website, your blog, yourself, your new product etc?
- Go to PRweb.com and Google.com…
To Digg: Thanks For The Useless Traffic – Or As What Most People Think
Yesterday I posted a rather staggering picture of a chart with an enormous spike. The article image wasn’t detailed enough because there’s only a sentence in there. Although some did get a clue about it, I bet you’re still curious.
Well I didn’t literally got dugg but I’m part of it. You see, Michael of Retire@21 emailed me a month ago asking for an interview. At first, I thought it was just another interview that gets posted and forgotten. But I was pretty surprised when Michael emailed me after posting the interview and at that time it got over 15+ diggs. With fingers crossed, I waited. After a few minutes, the diggs grew higher and higher and when it hit the 30+ mark it stopped.
I lost hope that time because I thought that digg only posts new stories, I didn’t knew that even a 2 hour old story still has the chance to get…

If you have noticed, I’m doing some changes in that big header up there. I’ve been changing some colors, write-ups, placement, etc. It’s not that it looks bad or something but I’m just into some tests.
You see I’ve read loads of articles, watched tons of videos about this NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming). NLP is about how language (linguistic) affects a person’s thinking (Neuro) using different massive techniques. You can check out my post about it, I left a video there from Derren Brown, a popular guy from London.
I got so curious about it that it made me look for more videos from that guy and wow, I was deeply amazed how he can change almost all people’s perspective and even their…

Before I begin this article, here’s something to look at:
Winzip, limewire, pdf reader, video converters and all other softwares all of them are free, but ever wonder why the dudes who made it gave it all away in exchange of nothing?!
No, their not dumb, actually they’re the smart guys. Just think about it again. If you downloaded adobe’s pdf reader will you be able to edit the pdf files? No. how? You buy the whole product.
The scheme is quite simple to understand. You give something away in EXCHANGE of what you need.

When I checked my stats in Text Link Ads this morning, that commission made me laugh, simply because I see how the “Give It Away and Get…

Adsense, text link ads, banner sponsorships, etc. can give you a pretty substantial amount of money… for a certain time. You may get big bucks from those guys but what about for the next couple of months? What if suddenly your readers unsubscribed from your RSS (Which can be done with just a click of a button) and Google started to hate you?
Sounds like hell right? Ok, don’t hide there and dry your pants off, I was just playing around with you! But honestly, it can happen. And it did happen on some websites. Some examples are seasonal websites i.e. for Christmas, Halloween and after that, traffic spikes got down the drain and they got nothing to get their…
