Earn Money Online

People use bum marketing (or article marketing) for various reasons. Some of them use it to bring traffic to their website, which they monetize through adsense. Some of them use it to drive traffic to the site which they plan to sell soon (flipping websites). Some use it to advertise products from clickbank or from other affiliate networks.

I have tried bum marketing in various niche markets like gizmos, electronics, apparels, ebooks, softwares, medical products, and many others as well.

But bum marketing has worked best for me on the medical products. Specially those medical products, about which, people don’t prefer to discuss with their family/friends. For these type of products, they do their research online. Bum marketing at ezinearticles.com or other similar places are good places to present the product reviews for people to tell them which product actually works and which does not. If you are actually helping them in decision making, you will also make the money.

I have used article marketing for Amazon, eBay (through BANS), Clickbank, LECash and MarketHealth. Out of these last two worked the best.

I use a combination of squidoo lenses, hub pages, knol (recently added) and article directories to promote the product. I submit my articles to only 5 directories which I consider the best. Its just a do-it-and-forget-it process.

Have any of you use bum marketing for some specific product? How is it going? Please share.

One of my blog post provides links to free adwords coupons. This blog posts has top rankings on Google search engine for many keywords like “adwords coupons”, “free adwords coupons” etc. This post alone makes around $1000+/month with Adsense Referrals.

Now Adsense Referrals is retiring. And it is surely a big loss to me. I also don’t have any other alternatives for it.

Does any of you had any similar problem? Do you have any alternatives? Please share.

With so much talk going on in the blogosphere these day about how a person can inflate his/her blog feedburner count by netvibes and similar other means. I was expecting that many people will try this to inflate their feed count on feedburner ticker.

But I never thought that somebody can even use it to create problems for other bloggers. Just have a look at two screenshots of jimkarter.com feedburner count on August 9^th and August 10^th. It seems somebody created 160 ‘Outlook 2007′ feeds to my account in just one day.

The number of ‘Outlook 2007′ feed readers were only at 11 just one day before, but now it has reached 171. Thats an addition of 160 new readers in just one day by just one method. I know that this is not possible.

What can I do about it?
I am not sure if I can do anything about it. This is some kind of a problem which only feedburner can fix. I wish they share the IP address of the subscribers.

But why is somebody is doing this?
I can only think of two reasons. First, somebody just wanted to try the method but did not want to try it on his own blog due to fear of getting banned, and jimkarter.com just came to the mind first. Second reason may be to kick the jimkarter.com feed readers count quite up and then bringing it down in a day to show people that what he (whoever did it) has some kind of power.

First of all, sorry guys for not making any post for such a long time. I was really busy with setting up a new venture in Delhi. It seems the idea of the guest posts on my blog didn’t work that well (who told me there is something called free lunch? ) Got lots of thrashing from my readers. But I really took that as a learning and will remember in future. Now that said, lets go to the case study.

As most of you know that I started a long term case study on my chemotherapy website around four and half months back. I decided to follow it up every month, and have posted the previous follow-up here, here and here.

This is the 4^th follow up for the case study. Here are the current stats on how the site did in July 2008.

• Long Term Goal: Making $1000/month after one year
• Site in Case: Chemotherapy
• Total time till end of July: Around 4 and half months
• Money invested till now: $193.98 (till last update only, no new investment)
• Total Unique in last month (July): 2296 (1788 last month)
• Total page views in month (July): 7603 (6388 last month)
• Number of pages listed by Google: 59 (it was 39 for last month)
• Revenue in July: Total: $62.61. Out of it, $47.28 is from Adsense and $15.33 from Kontera. (Total of $46.58 for last month)
• Total budget available as of now: $382.96 (last month) - $0.00 (used this month) + $62.61 (earned this month) = $445.57

In my previous posts I said that I would do some link building, bum marketing and some more content. But I could not do any of it because I was busy with other stuff. But even without it, it seems it did well on track. Its around 35% increment in earnings. I needed around 50% increase in earnings per month to reach my target of $1000/month at the end of 12th month.

This month I will be actively working on the site to bring it back on track.
