Yeah I’m sneaky like that

By Linus Rylander | January 5, 2009

You just might notice it. Just maybe.

Yer, I added a pop-up to the blog. It’s the same as the “Definition Of A Bum” thing in the sidebar.

Honestly, the report isn’t that spectactular. It’s kind of a “back to basics” thing with bum marketing.

I wrote it like 6 months ago when I was still a semi-noob that thought that I knew more about this stuff than I really did, however it does cover some good info that’s definitely worth a look, and it’ll probably help you reshape your definition of what a BUM marketer is, because it’s really not what most people think.

If you’ve read any of my later reports, like the “bummage” report, or its sequel the 4 Prong Affiliate Domination report (like 4 people ever saw this) … then you should know it’s not even in the same league. It’s waaay more simple in this one. Neither one of those are available to the public right now.

I basically just wanted something simple to offer new people, as well as experienced ones I guess. I’m sure you can pick up something from there.

Well, peace out fellas, hope you enjoy.

Kenneth Yu’s Twitter Salvation System Review

By Linus Rylander | December 22, 2008

Hey guys… I rarely do blog posts these days, much less to talk about a specific product.

Well, this time, it’s kind of something special. It’s a product, as you might have figured out, called the Twitter Salvation System, and it’s by Kenneth Yu.

You may or may not have heard about him, but they call him “The Puppet Master” for a reason.

He’s got over 4000 followers on twitter, and he gets ‘em in the hundreds every week.

And guess what… his followers LOVE him. He controls them like puppets, literally.

Twitter has been called the MOST POWERFUL Marketing tool in existence right now, and for very good reasons. See how email marketing is so effective? Well, twittering is MORE effective, especially if you follow Kenneth’s ninja mind control techniques. Twittering is MUCH more intimate and you can create real bonds with your prospects.

Do you GET IT yet? How powerful this is?

How would you like to have a 1000+ follower ARMY in a month from now?

A 1000+ follower army that will bend the knee to you and do ANYTHING you tell them to, not out of fear, but because they LOVE you.No, not in a creepy way, but more like a CULT following.

They do what you say because they think you’re the coolest person on earth.

Do you now see the power of Ken’s system?

When I saw Mark Joyner (godfather of internet marketing) endorsing this, that was enough to convince me this thing was one of a kind. Mark even called Ken a “bona-fide Twitter genius“.

So I picked it up… and well, it’s one of a kind for sure!

So now you know what you’ve gotta do to “own the playground” in your niche now, right?

HINT: It’s using the most powerful marketing tool in existence… in a special way… *cough*

Why I don’t do CPA.

By Linus Rylander | December 10, 2008

Okay, I might have said somewhere in the past that I was starting with some CPA stuff.

I changed my mind.

Sure, there’s a heck of a lot of profit there. In fact, the reason I chose to talk about this now is because of the upcoming high ticket product called The Arbitrage Conspiracy. But don’t worry, I won’t promote it to you, or to anyone at all.

See, the guys behind it are pulling in about $50,000-$100,000 Net Profit each and every day.

That’s a whole bunch of cash right there.

But why am I not doing it?

I’m too lazy, that’s why.

MY problem with CPA is that it has to be managed constantly. You have to keep your campaigns in check.

You see, the advertisers that puts out their offers on the CPA networks… they can pull their offer at any time they choose. Like “we don’t need more leads now, let’s pull this campaign…” or because they can’t afford to pay the affiliates.

Also, CPA offers expire as well, if the advertiser hasn’t removed their offer before the expiry period ends.

That’s my problem.

What I do, is things that I can set up once, and not have to touch it ever again.

Things like small SEO sites that pull in free traffic and gets sales or possibly adsense clicks on autopilot. And things like Clickbank offers don’t expire, neither does adsense. Even if a site only brings in a couple of bucks per day, it’s duplicable, like most things. If you have like 20 sites then it starts to add up.

That’s my kind of thing… not having to work. Period. Yeah, I’m a lazy bastard.

However, if you’re cool with working a few hours per day I’m sure CPA is a great way to go. I’m sure the Arbitrage Conspiracy is too. Heck, even MARK JOYNER promotes it. I have enough respect for that man to know that the product must be absolutely fantastic if he chooses to promote it.

So well, now you know what in my opinion are the primary drawbacks of CPA. If I was doing CPA, I would buy the Arbitrage Conspiracy though, and if you want to do that, go right ahead. Unfortunately I don’t have any affiliate link for you…

Well I’ll see you guys. I know I haven’t updated in a while, I just haven’t… felt like blogging. We’ll see if I get back into it, oh well.

See ya,

Linus

Magic Words…

By Linus Rylander | August 31, 2008

Just came to think of this…

Two words… that make people buy…?

Think about it, what are pretty much everyone that’s looking to buy for, looking for?

I learned from Stephen Pierce, that poor people, or people in a poor mindset rather, think about things and evauluate things with two questions: “Is it easy enough?” and “Is it cheap enough?“.

These people are looking to save as much as they can of their 3 sources of power. The 3 sources of power are Money, Time and Energy.

Makes sense, right?

Now the rich person thinks about it in a different way, answering one question:

“Is it worth it?”

The rich person doesn’t care of how much of their 3 sources of power they spend, if they get a very positive ROI (return on investment).

ROI doesn’t only apply to money… it includes everything you spend, in this case your 3 sources of power.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it… most people are in the poor mindset. This means that most of your customers and prospects are as well.

So what are the magic words?

Instant

and

Effortless

Think about it. If you want to do something, have a problem you want to solve, or whatever… if someone presents a solution to that which is INSTANT and EFFORTLESS… would you buy it?

Think about it…

I’m not back

By Linus Rylander | August 14, 2008

If you’ve been reading my blog, you’d know by now that I haven’t updated for a few weeks…

Why?

First of all I switched computers and got locked out of this place (lol).

Second of all I have better things to do with my time. No offense, but I do value the $$$ more than some practically non-existent reader. Comparatively, I make peanuts from this blog compared to my other internet venues… and who am I kidding, I’m in this to make money.

So well, I’ll be back if something major comes up, keep me on your RSS readers and you’ll be the first to know

The Crucial Flaw in Bum Marketing

By Linus Rylander | July 24, 2008

Bum Marketing… insanely popular… yet there is one thing… a flaw in the system that pretty much makes it all worthless.

Bum Marketing - the name derives from the idea that you could take a complete bum off the streets, put him in a public library, and have him make money. Right?

Right. And therein lies the problem.

The freaking companies wouldn’t have any place to send the checks to! He’s a bum! He doesn’t have a home!!

OK, fine, it would work if he has a bank account and does the direct deposit thing, or he’s in a paypal affiliate program/network such as myHelpHub - but still.

Just thought that was kind of funny, lol sorry.

The ACTUAL flaw in standard bum marketing is that you don’t have much control.

Unless you have your landing page on your own domain you don’t have any control over it and you can’t make the layout look EXACTLY like you want it on something like blogger or squidoo.

Eventually you want to get more serious with your own domains and stuff like that anyway, so why not start immediately and make more money in the long run.

I’m pretty much leaving traditional bum marketing as it is now, and moving on to something else that is a lot more powerful and completely hands off once it’s done. It’s a niche domination type of thing…

See ya,

Linus

Stepping up from Bum hood…

By Linus Rylander | July 22, 2008

Yes, that’s right. I’m no longer a Bum Marketer.

Yes, I still do Bum MarketING, but I just did something, which is like the opposite of Bum Marketing.

It’s paid.

It’s Pay Per Click.

Yas. That’s right.

My first ever PPC campaign is now live.

It’s basically just a simple test campaign, and it’s direct linking to somewhere.

If this is a success, I’ll post some step by step guide on here or make a free downloadable report.

Karma baby! … as Norb likes to say.

Landing Pages part 2

By Linus Rylander | July 19, 2008

This is a follow up post to the last one about Landing Pages. Read that first pl0x.

Anyway, I’m guessing you want to know about the second type of landing pages now…

It’s for people searching for product names and all things related to it. BOOM NEWSFLASH! Right?

Probably not, but it’s often overlooked, and that is VERY stupid if I say so myself.

Why? Because people searching for product names are already considering a purchase!

Therefore it’s some of the most targeted traffic you can recieve. Okay it’s not as MUCH traffic as you get by targeting common keywords, but they’re generally a lot more targeted and ready to buy.

Keywords you’d target would be things like:

“Product Name”
“Product Name Review”
“Product Name Scam”
“ProductName”
“ProductName Review”
“www.productnamewebsite.com” (that’s a good one

…and so on.

The type of landing page you would use for these people - requires practically no thinking!

You just write a brief UNBIASED OVERVIEW of what the product is about, and include the product box or whatever is available. Just a paragraph or two of what the product is about, as an OVERVIEW, and not a “review”. You can’t have an opinion at all. You’re gonna have to sound like a boring dude working for the government - like a “professional”.

Get it?

Then under that you have something like “actual consumer feedback”, which is a fancy phrase for testimonials.

And then have your links on the top and bottom and after the descriptive paragraph stuff.

And that’s it.

Enjoy…

Different Traffic - Different Landing Pages

By Linus Rylander | July 18, 2008

This is something I’ve talked about several times on the Digital Point forums, but I think it’s VERY important for the bum affiliate to know.

The idea is that you should have different kinds of landing pages for different kinds of traffic.

For example, someone searches “How to get rid of smelly feet” in Google, and let’s pray they’re not looking for an axe…

That’s a specific kind of traffic, and it is to be treated in a specific way. How? …read on.

The way your landing page could be structured in this scenario, well two different formats would work and it’s up to you which you choose.

The first one is the “Product review” landing page. This works VERY WELL (think 5% conversion rate) with people looking to SOLVE A PROBLEM, hopefully a painful one, lol.

The best way to do this is to relate to them and bind an emotional connection with them. Tell them how you were in their situation once, you know what they feel like… you didn’t want to buy it either at first because you’re sick of all the scams… and then gradually lead them into happy emotions, and tell them how you finally got too desperate and bought it, and to your surprise it actually worked… and blah, blah and blah.

You might think this is unethical if it’s not true, but if the product does work (and you’d rather want this confirmed…) you’re not doing anyone any harm. In fact you’re ACTUALLY HELPING them! Even if what you say isn’t true.

It’s up to you and your ethics, but the next type won’t be so hard on those
