5 Simple Mistakes to advoid:

Becoming a successful Bum Marketer is something that can be done if done right. But if done wrong, Bum Marketing can be a huge waste of time, energy, and money. There are a few things that a Bum marketer needs to avoid  

First mistake… a boring title. Realize that the title of the article is going to be mixed in with quite a few others that your potential reader has to choose from. There are many of you competing for the same set of eyes. Don’t let your title be something that will blend in with all the rest. Make it something that will stand out and get noticed. Make sure that you don’t get too crazy and make sure that it is relevant to the topic you want to address, but, still be creative and you will stay competitive with other bum marketers.

Second mistake…not having a clear purpose. What is the main reason you want the reader to read your article? Is there a goal that you have in mind? Be clear as to what you want them to do and give them plenty of reason to want to take the action you want them to take. Have a starting point and and ending point in planning your article and use everything in between to help them get from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’. This is something that Bum marketers fail to do all too often.

Third mistake…Not knowing your target audience. Bum marketers need to keep in mind who the target audience is and write to their level. If you are writing to a group of people who are typically very knowledgeable about the subject matter, then you better make sure that you are as well. Gather as much information about the subject as you can and make yourself knowledgeable. Make sure that your research is good and up to date.Find out what they ask when they go online to search for this information and find how to relate to them. Study your target market and write to them.

Fourth mistake…writing articles that won’t get published. Look at the standards that article directories have and write your articles to fit the most strict of standards. Make sure that you have the minimum number of preferred words. Make sure that it is well written. Make sure that it doesn’t have any problems with links within your article and that you link to appropriate places. Bum marketers will often forget to check the article they are trying to submit and see if it is in compliance only to have it rejected and end up rewriting it to standards.

Fifth mistake…no call to action. As a Bum marketer you have to remember that your goal is not to give away the milk when you want to sell them the cow~ invite the reader to go to your website or to take what ever action you want them to take.  Readers love to gain further information and you will be providing a valuable service with your article.

Final thoughts and wrapup:  A successful Bum marketing campaign revolves around choosing the right keywords, having a clear purpose in mind when you start writing, and making sure you answer the right questions. It will also let the reader know that you are an authority on the subject matter and have done your homework. I will give them a reason and opportunity to take the action you wish them to take.
