Work at Home Based Business

I’ve been marketing online for over 5 years now.

The other day, somebody mentioned something related to marketing that I really wasn’t familiar with. I never used it and son of a gun, it hasn’t prevented me from earning a living online.

Imagine that…something that I don’t know and I still pocketed over $122,000 online last year.

Who’d a thunk it?

The point is, you don’t have to know everything in order to earn an income on the Internet. As a matter of fact, you can earn a living online with just a few promotional methods.

For example, you could earn a living, albeit not a huge living, by simply doing some bum marketing.

Okay, you’re probably scratching your head saying to yourself, “What’s bum marketing?” Well, it’s not the marketing of bums and it has nothing to do with bums doing marketing.

Actually, bum marketing is a phrase used to refer to a method of advertising that is so simple and so cheap that a bum in the street could use it to make money online.

The basic premise of bum marketing is you write articles, submit them to directories and in your resource box point readers to your blog where you promote a product that relates to the article you wrote. The method is totally free because article submission is free and you can get a blog with Blogger or Wordpress for free as well.

The key to bum marketing is to write good articles with a strong call to action in your resource box. If you can do that, and write up a good review of the product you’re selling, you can make quite a few sales from this method.

It does take some time to write articles and you do have to write quite a few to see any significant amount of traffic, but it’s worth it once you get a good number of articles out there.

My point is, just by using this one method, you can make money. You don’t have to learn about Adwords or product creation or anything complicated. A few simple steps can earn you a nice income if you put the time in.

So don’t try to learn it all. Even I don’t know everything that’s out there.

And it hasn’t hurt my bottom line one bit.

Hi All:

Today, I am having a ton of massive giveaways. I just thought you’d all want to jump on this as it’s only good for April 1, or as we know it, April Fools Day.

Okay, here they are.

1. I am giving away 1 million copies of My Secret Articles for the low price of just $57.

Here’s the link:

2. I am giving away a new Ford Pinto. It comes complete with no airbags, no seat belts and no insurance. You won’t need any since the car won’t travel more than 20 feet.

3. I am giving away my cat. He sheds too much and my allergies are starting to act up on me.

4. I am giving away my flat screen TV. Since my recent anger management class fiasco, it isn’t so flat anymore.

5. I am giving away a toaster that I got for my wedding. It doesn’t work anymore, but I think you’ll find some use for it at YOUR anger management class.

6. I am giving away $1 Million in Monopoly money. I don’t know if it will be worth anything on the open market but maybe some guy in Alaska, where all they have is whale blubber, will take it off your hands.

7. I am giving away my book on underwater pole vaulting. I am sure you will find it a very dull read.

8. I am giving away my photos of George Bush taken when we were on a hunting trip together. I won’t tell you who killed more democrats that day.

9. I am giving away my prized collection of toothpicks. Each one has seen every crevice of my anatomy.

10. Finally, I am going to leave you with some sound advice for running your business.

Don’t take yourself so seriously. In the final analysis, you’re no better than anybody else. These self appointed “gurus” need to learn this most of all. We are all just human beings and our success doesn’t make us above all others.

I learned this a long time ago, which is why I try my best to help the little guy all I can.

This is why, if you check out my first giveaway, that’s really no joke. Today ONLY you can get My Secret Articles for just $57. Yes, really…If you go to that URL, you’ll see the price is only $57.

And no…this is NOT an April Fools joke.

The rest of it?

I’ll just leave you guessing.

To YOUR Success,

Well, I am all pumped up. It’s the last day of March and I am getting ready for an April that is going to be an absolute blast.

Want to hear all the things I’m working on?

I knew you would.

For starters, I’m coming out with my first co-created products ever this month.

The first one is a product that I created with John Rhodes called PLR Exploitation. It’s going to teach people EVERYTHING that you can do with PLR material and most importantly, HOW to find good PLR and how to make it profitable.

The second project is a book that I created with Justin Michie called “The Complete Guide To Product Creation”. At least that’s the working title. This book will show you everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that you need to know about creating your own products.

Finally, I’m coming out with my own story. Yes, after 5 years, you’ll be able to read about my climb to the top of the heap and also discover my secrets for how I got there.

I’ll be sharing these URLs with you in the near future as soon as they’re available. My new book is called 5 Years Profits…The Steve Wagenheim Story.

If you want to be told when it will be available, just opt into the list below:

You’ll also find out about all the lies that you’ve been fed when it comes to making money online.

That’s all for today.

It’s going to be an Amazing April.

What the…???

Okay, I know that’s what you’re thinking. What’s this Coordinated Promotional Advertising Model?

Well, it’s basically the heart and soul of my business. To understand that, you need to know something about my 5 years online.

See, I had no idea what I was doing when I first started out. I had no direction and nobody to give me any direction. So I had to learn things…piece by piece.

Anyway, what I discovered over that period of time, especially when it came to promotional methods, is that none of these methods existed in a vacuum. See, all the books I had read treated the subject of, whatever, as if it existed by itself.

The reality is much different. What I have discovered is that every form of promotion, regardless of what it is, if affected by everything else you do.

Think about this. Let’s say you only did Adwords advertising. But for some other reason, maybe through articles that others wrote about your product, your site started to climb up the search engines and suddenly you were getting more clicks through organic search results. You found that you didn’t have to rely on Adwords as much. Maybe you were even able to stop your Adwords campaign altogether.

Point is, there are things you can do to get various forms of promotion to work together in such a way that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Anyway, I’ve finally written a book on the subject called 5 Years Profits…The Steve Wagenheim Story. If you want to get on my mailing list and be the first one to find out about it and all you’re going to get along with it, you can pick up my free report that blows the lid off of all the lies that you’ve been fed since trying to make a living online. The link is in my signature.

In the meantime, I want you to think about the methods of promotion that you’ve been using and see how they interact with each other. I think, if you studied them hard enough, you would find a correlation between them.

If not, don’t worry, my new book will give you 6 CPAM systems that will greatly increase your traffic and profitability.

Good question.

Lots of people ask me it too. Do you have any idea how hard it is answering a question like that when you have no idea what the person is doing to even try to make a living online? It’s like guessing his birthday in one guess when there are 365 days in the year. It’s almost impossible.

So what follows are a few of the main reasons why you’re not making any money online, though I can’t be 100% sure since I don’t know YOUR situation.

1. No Business Plan

Do you think you can just throw up a website, post a few ads, write a few articles and the money is going to start pouring in? Trust me…it doesn’t work that way. You need to sit down and write out a comprehensive business plan.

Don’t want to do it?

Then don’t expect to make a lot of money.

2. No Knowledge

Think you can make money online without knowing what you’re doing? Forget it! There is so much you need to learn to be successful online it would make your head spin…everything from sales copy to advertising strategies to list management. If you don’t take the time to get educated…don’t expect to earn a living on the Internet.

3. Improper Research

So many people dive into a niche without even taking the time to find out if there’s even any money in it. It doesn’t matter if you think people will love your product. If they have no need for it, they won’t buy it. It’s that simple.

Research takes time…lots of it. You need to research keywords, competition and whole lot of other things.

Don’t want to do it?

Then don’t expect to make any money unless you get very lucky.

4. No Work Ethic

This is probably the biggest culprit of them all. No, surfing the net and playing video games is not working on your business. And checking your email and Adsense stats every 5 minutes isn’t working on your business either.

You need to sit down every morning, or better yet the night before, and write out a schedule for your workday.

And then stick to it.

The above 4 items are just the tip of the iceberg. The truth is, there are so many pitfalls that can fubar your business that they’d blow your mind.

Maybe what you need is a mentor. Problem is, they don’t come cheap.

Well, in my sig is a link with my mentoring services.

If you want to get your sh*t together and stop putzing around with your business…drop me an email.

Or not.

At least I know where my next meal is coming from.
