My Big Bum Marketing Challenge

I am going to start off today by giving myself a new challenge. Bum Marketing.

If I could explain bum marketing in one paragraph I would say that it is marketing or promoting someone else's products, and getting paid a commission if you make any sales. So if you like you are kind of an online sales person.

Now the word "bum"plays a big part in this, because like "bums" I will be doing this with no money. Of course if this experiment proves to be successful I may invest some money, but only if I make that money first.

The first thing I will be doing today is picking three niches. The reason I am going to pick three niches is because I want to test different niches, but if you are doing the same as me you could just start with one.

When I have picked my niches I am going to go to clickbank and commission junction and pick one product to promote for each niche.

Then I am going to build one squidoo lens for each niche, and one blogger blog for each niche. Both squidoo and blogger are free to use so I won't be spending any money there. So basically I will have six kind of mini websites that are not costing me a penny.

The reason I am making two sites for each niche is because again I want to track and test which one either blogger or squidoo will become more profitable.

I will be integrating my affiliate links into my blogs and lens.

Anyway I think that is enough to get me started for one day. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
