			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Long time ago since I&#8217;ve last written a post here on TMME. I must excuse for being late with my writings, but I&#8217;m still quite busy at the moment with my new projects. Anyway, let me give you a short update on my current progress.</strong></p>
<p>You may now that I&#8217;m currently working on <strong>3 new niche websites</strong> where I promote several products from the <a title="Sell Digital Products via Clickbank" href="http://www.clickbank.com" target="_blank">Clickbank</a> affiliate network. Each product will bring me around <strong>$30 to $40</strong> in commissions if someone is buying through one of my sites. I&#8217;ve personally proved that such websites are really working, my first niche site I created several months ago still brings me around $30 to $60 per months, without further working on it.</p>
<p>Right now I&#8217;m done with creating the niche sites and I&#8217;m in the progress of driving traffic to these sites. I&#8217;m using <strong>article marketing</strong> for the main portion of traffic. I&#8217;ve already written several articles and submitted them to <a title="Submit your articles to EZA!" href="http://www.ezinearticles.com" target="_blank">Ezinearticles</a>. I must say, it really works! Although I haven&#8217;t made any sales with these sites right now, I&#8217;m already receiving traffic, around <strong>30 to 40 unique visitors</strong> per day for all 3 of my sites (yes I know, it isn&#8217;t really that much&#8230;). The best thing is, that I already got some clicks on my Clickbank affiliate links too!</p>
<p>I must definitely write many more articles in order to create sales from my sites. The more traffic I can drive to my niche sites via my articles, the more possible sales I&#8217;ll hopefully have! Maybe I will also hire a <strong>copywriter</strong> who will write those articles for me. I&#8217;ve seen people on the <a title="Warriorforum!" href="http://www.warriorforum.com" target="_blank">Warriorforum</a> who are writing quality articles for $5 per 300 words. And since I&#8217;m making quite good money from <a title="My lens about NeoBux!" href="http://www.squidoo.com/neobux" target="_blank">NeoBux</a>, I&#8217;m sure I can afford some bucks to help me getting my job done.</p>
<p>Ok, enough for now. I&#8217;ll keep you updated!</p>
<p>Bye,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right after I arrived from my two week vacations I checked all my different money makers. And hey, I noticed that my simple <a title="My First Affiliate Sale!" href="http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/2008/05/affiliate-marketing-how-i-made-my-first-sale.html" target="_self">niche site</a> that I created several months ago had made me just another two sales. In just 14 days I earned <strong>$53.90</strong>, the first time that I made <strong>two sales</strong> in a single month!</p>
<p>Ok, but why am I telling you that? Well it&#8217;s because I finally made a descision on a <strong>new project</strong> that I&#8217;ll start soon. Since I&#8217;ve seen that niche marketing really works (even without having much worked for it), I&#8217;ll start some new niche sites over the course of the next weeks. Basically I will create 3 niche sites where I promote different <a title="Clickbank" href="http://www.clickbank.com" target="_blank">Clickbank</a> products, fill them with some content to pre-sell potential buyers and insert my CB affiliate links. So to say a landing page if you will.</p>
<p>Ok, but the hardest part will be to drive traffic to those sites. I will therefore use article marketing (also known as <a title="Bum Marketing Experiment" href="http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/2008/03/bum-marketing-experiment-intro.html" target="_self">bum marketing</a>, see my post about it), in other words writing and publishing articles on popular article directories that contain a backlink to my landing pages/niche sites. The hard part is to write articles on a daily basis for at least a month&#8217;s time. I&#8217;ve set me the goal to write 2 articles per niche site and day, so I&#8217;ll end up with 180 articles after one month. Those articles will hopefully bring in some nice traffic and sales, I only have to make sure to target the right  (long tail) keywords with enough search volume and less competition on the search engines.</p>
<p>The method I&#8217;ll use to make money is proven in the affiliate business, many people are making some nice cash with it. Two days ago I read an ebook from a guy that made $3000 from only 5 niche sites! He has only worked a single month to achieve these results and he&#8217;s still making cash from his sites (without writing any new articles).</p>
<p>Now you know what I&#8217;m about to achieve within the next weeks. I will therefore don&#8217;t have that much time to keep my blog updated as usual since I have to write 6 articles (250 to 500 words) per day. But I&#8217;ll do my best to keep you updated on what&#8217;s going on and if my new project is making me any money!</p>
<p>See you,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">At the moment I&#8217;m involved in investigating a really nice money making opportunity called Bum Marketing. Basically, it&#8217;s a way to make money online without investing a single cent. Therefore it&#8217;s called &#8220;Bum&#8221; Marketing, because even a bum from the street could (in theory) start earning a nice income online without paying anything for it.</span></p>
<p>The basic idea behind this marketing method is the following. First, you have to search a product you want to promote. It should be a niche product that people really want to buy. For example a uber-great ebook about magic methods for losing weight without doing any hard work on it (Ok, it&#8217;s probably an ugly example&#8230; <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Second thing is keyword research. Look for long-tail keywords with high search volume and less competition (<5000 results on Google would be great).</p>
<p>Third part in Bum Marketing is writing articles with your long-tail keywords in the title and body. It&#8217;s really important to write your article with those keywords in mind to get the best position in the search results later on. You have to submit those articles to as many article directories you can. In the author box below your article you should integrate affiliate links to the products you promote.</p>
<p>Fourth step (the easy part). Rinse and repeat and watch your income grow. The more articles you write, the more money you&#8217;ll make from affiliate sales/leads. A single article won&#8217;t make you rich (it&#8217;s assumed that one article brings in $20 each month), but with 100 articles you will definitely see your earnings rise.</p>
<p>So far so good. That&#8217;s for the theory. But there&#8217;s is also the part with work involved. To actually test the income potential from Bum Marketing, I will do a long-term experiment on it. I&#8217;ll try to write some articles promoting different products (I think I&#8217;ll start with Clickbank first) and submit them to many article directories. Then I will see if one can really make good money from this marketing method.</p>
<p>Personally I expect to make far less than $20 a month from a single article, but that&#8217;s only a feeling, maybe I can make much more&#8230; <img src='http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This post should only be a short intro to Bum Marketing. I&#8217;ll write more detailed articles later on. I will also report about my current progress (and my earnings). For now I have to do some more research on it&#8230;.</p>
<p>See you,<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Querblogger</p>
