Earning Money the Lazy Way: Bum Marketing

Denise
I recently looked into someone's program called Bum Marketing. Bum Marketing is all about writing articles and getting paid for what you write. You have to pay attention to keywords, plug an affiliate program in there, and etc. I tried Bum Marketing, but it did not work for me. Oh, some people did read my articles, but nobody bought into my affiliate program. So, I didn't earn any money. Surprise, surprise. I followed directions, so why didn't I earn anything?

I don't like doing Internet marketing. Getting people to read your articles is not Internet marketing, but selling an affiliate program requires it. It's not like I told the readers to 'buy' this. At the end of each article is an authors box where you talk about yourself a bit and say for more information, go to this website here. Still didn't work. It just dawned on me that instead of getting my readers to buy something, why not just get them to read what you've written? That's when I discovered the real lazy way of earning money.

Earning money the 'real' lazy way, doesn't mean you don't have to work. The lazy way of earning money is that you do something once, and that's it. You make money from what you do and you keep making money. The point of earning is not to sell something one time, but multiple times. Residual income. If you're not thinking about residual income, you'd better start right now!

You'd have to pay attention to keywords, of course, but you don't need to use any affiliate program. For those who have trouble selling, this is a perfect way to earn money. On Associated Content alone, for every 1,000 views you earn $1.50. The more you write, the more you earn. Associated Content isn't the only website that pays you for page views. Just do a Google search and look for more. There are a lot of other websites where you can get views. You know some of them already, Myspace, Youtube, Yuwie, Mylot.

You can join communities and build a list of friends who are interested in what you are, and there are more views for you. So, that is the only way to earn money the lazy way. I'm not knocking Bum Marketing. If it works for you, fine, but for those of us who want it easier. Just write for readers, and spread your knowledge around and begin earning the lazy way, for page views.

    No, Myspace doesn't pay for views, but if you put anything that makes money on your page, and people click/buy what you are promoting, then you can get paid. Another website that pays for views is Helium.
