2nd attempt at bum marketing

3 replies
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am new at this. I am trying to become an internet marketer. To be specific, a bum marketer. I created one program several months ago and it failed completely. Then I read how 90% of the people trying to become affiliate marketers do nothing. The remaining 10% do it wrong. OK, I did it wrong. Now I came up with this one. I think it is a winner. It is affiliate marketing and my affilates are click bank alternate energy information.

I am trying to drive traffic by writing articles for ezine. I will put the end of the article and the resource box with the web site in it. Would some of you knowledgeable people please help me by looking at it to see if I am doing it ok? Am I overstating my pre-selling? Or understating? How about the web page. The home page of it is designed for the articles.

Thank you.

last bit of article is below:

"Having said all that, I know that some of you work at this and have a wonderful time playing. It's a great hobby, for sure.

In fact, it is a fine and useful hobby. It's a lot of fun and if you approach it in that sense, more power to you. It's an interesting and creative way to spend your time.

So if you are just playing at this, that's fine. But if you are trying to be responsible and use wind and solar energy to take care of those who depend on you, then this is serious business and you need to take it that way.

Information is what you simply must have if you are going to do an effective job of it.

Maybe you feel like the power generating companies are your friend, like they tell you. Or are they taking advantage of you and charging every penny they think they can get? Do they get a major portion of your paycheck, like they used to do mine?

If you are serious about learning how solar or wind power generation can free your family from the elite power companies, click and go to my website where you can learn all about the advantages of solar and wind power generation as well as frequently asked questions about using alternative energy.

You see all the changes going on around you. How sure are you that we will all have electricity in a few years?

You might have to do it yourself.

Inform yourself on the subject now. You'll be glad you did, and so will those depending on you."

    I don't have time to give you a big long analysis because I'm about to go offline but I'll say a few things. First is you need to diversify - alternate energy products don't have a particularly high conversion rate as it's not necessarily a 'desperate' niche. I know of people who've submitted 50 articles in this niche and only made a few sales. By all means try this niche, but make sure you choose a few others as well.

    Clickbank sales seem to be down across the board - a combination of tracking problems and the economic downturn, so it's becoming harder and harder to make sales (some niches are worse than others). You'll need ALOT of articles on EZA before you start to see a decent return, so don't worry if you don't see sales from your first few articles.

    I'm not keen on your resource box, however if you check out either the 1st or 2nd page of this forum you'll see a thread on creating resource boxes - there are a few examples there of good ones.

    Driving traffic with articles is a waste of time. Submitting articles is only good for one thing. Backlinks.

    Simple formula to rank for almost any keyword:
    1: Create a squidoo lens or create a landing page yourself where you promote your product. I see that you already have a page, and to be honest the design and layout is terrible.

    2: Submit articles and link back to your lens / landing page, using the keyword you want to rank for, as the anchor text. Bookmarks, blog comments and signatures works as well.

    3: Repeat 2 until you get some traffic from search engines and make that moneh! Woot!
