As a bum marketer do you know you know that you can build your list by writing articles? Let us think about it for a moment. If you write good articles on relevant keywords it stands to reason that you will get targeted people signing up to your list. Targeted people are people interested in what you have to offer so are more likely to be buyers. A list of potential buyers sounds good to me.

How do you build your list by writing articles?

In a nutshell you write and submit articles, applicable to your marketing niche using your expertise, to popular article directories where readers and article publishers are looking for information or good content for their websites. Be sure to do some keyword research so that you have some good relevant keywords to use in your articles. Bare in mind that the more targeted you can get the traffic that comes to read your articles the more likely they are to be interested in what you have to offer them.

With bum or article marketing you can get leverage if other marketers pick up your articles and republish them on their own sites. If enough of them publish your articles you get some real leverage in that not only have you got your original article promoting your website but lots of copies of it all over the internet.

So exactly how do articles help build your mailing list? In the resource or bio box that you add to the bottom of your article you give a brief description of what they will get if they sign up to your mailing list and a URL or website address to sign up to your mailing list.

However I strongly recommend that your resource box URL links to a squeeze or landing page where you can capture your readers name and email address. As an extra incentive for leaving their details you could offer them a relevant free report which has your website links embedded within it. This is how you build your mailing list using articles for no cost.

As previously mentioned if you write good articles that other marketers pick up and publish on their sites including your resource box you will build your list even faster. The more publishers who use your articles for content on their websites, blog or ezine the more exposure you have. You have just used the power of leverage to build your list.

So become a bum marketer and start writing and submitting high quality articles to high ranking article publishing sites and build your list of interested subscribers for zero outlay. For more information on bum marketing http://www.squidoo.com/simplecashblogsecrets
