I Still Have a Lot to Learn About Bum Marketing
If you have read my last post “Obsessed with writing perfect posts” you know already that I am trying to earn with affiliate marketing. Surely it is not easy and I am applying those techniques that I have read here and there. In fact I am trying the bum marketing method, a method that many affiliates are using these days as it is free.
I have already heard about the bum marketing technique in the past, also read how some have tried it but it did not really work out for them. I think if it did not work then it means they have not been trying hard enough. I am finding it hard to start myself, definitely PPC is a better option but I do not really want to spend money on this. It is very hard to stay motivated too when there is no one to tell you exactly what to do, I had to set up some kind of plan for myself to know what I will work on daily. A bit like I do for job, it is probably the fact of working for others that makes it difficult when I have to do things for myself, I will have to work on changing that mindset.
I have use the title “I Still Have a Lot to Learn About Bum Marketing” as I will have to change the way I look at things. I already mentioned that I read about bum marketing method before, in my mind it was just writing articles and submit it like crazy and you are done. It fact it is not exactly that, you surely need to write articles but you need to know how to do it right and I am sure this is the main reason many have failed at it. I am definitely not good at it yet to explain what is wrong or right since I actually have only 2 articles live at ezinearticles.com. Both articles have got around 50 views and I have 8 clicks to the urls I have added in the articles.
This is only the beginning but I will not give up any time soon maybe if things are not working out in 3 to 6 months then I will just move to other techniques that I am already trying along but article marketing is my priority right now. I am sure I will learn a lot during this long journey and will update this blog more regularly with what I am learning. It is actually a good thing that I started affiliate marketing, I am getting more things to write about and my post posting regularly is important will actually make sense (to me at least).

Obsessed with Writing Perfect Posts
I have not been blogging much lately but still I have tons of posts in drafts, that left me thinking why I have not yet fully written the posts yet and published them? Reading through the blog again I think my problem is that I have the need to make my posts look perfect and have a bit of a professional look. I do not know how and why but this has affected the way I blog in a way, since I am now posting less regularly and I have the feeling that what I write is not really good enough to be blogged about.
I did not really discussed about the issue with anyone but I think everyone would suggest me to write about whatever comes to my mind which is what I usually do but it is just the way I want the post to look that cause a problem… I am obsessed with perfection! I know how fun it can be to write daily or as often as possible and seeing comments coming it, I really enjoy blogging but I also need to change my blogging mindset.
Also while writing I am not sure about the length of post, here also there is no limit but I need to have an average, all these thoughts are killing this blog slowly and I need to find a solution fast so that I post more regularly.
Okay enough bragging about what is killing this blog, I have been a bit busy setting up a few stuffs about affiliate marketing. I am not sure if it is my thing yet but I will not know unless I try right? So, hopefully if everything works out fine, I will be glad to write about my affiliate marketing experience in future posts to come.
And if by chance there are any of my readers who are already into affiliate marketing and have tips to share are most welcome.
