Default How are getting ready for Christmas?

Are you changing any of your marketing efforts as Christmas approaches - if yes then what? Also, what's the most popular products you think are going to be selling this time.

Using free Google tool called "Google Insights For Search" can help you determine seasonal changes and monthly fluctuations for a given keyword.

This helps to determine what sells in a given season.

For those selling on eBay, it can be a good idea to look for "hot" items, like childrenīs toys to sell.

Default Re: How are getting ready for Christmas?

Hi guys

at the moment im working full swing with the build up to christmas ive actually been so busy ive neglected the wonderful time that i spend on the warrior forum!

Im working with a client in the diet niche so that she can launch her brand new product on boxing day when everyone is so desperate to lose weight.

On top of this i have my own new site due to be launched on boxing day and another site to be released in the new year about moving abroad so its all go for me.

I havent done too much in the christmas niche this year as i have so much else on i dont feel the need to do so this year.

Kind regards


sam

Yes ebay is a good way to start and watching the pulse. This is what I'm thinking of doing - get top gadgets in demand and maybe with their model name, then buy very similar domain and create a simple landing page for each one and wait for it to be listed on page 1 of Google.

I have tried this before and it works great + Free traffic.

I'm using this season to teach newbies how to sell physical products.

It's actually less lucrative for me right now than selling these products myself, but my students should start making money faster than if they started during other seasons.

I am building hundreds of affiliate shops (>400 so far) from different merchants using datafeeds. I hope they will be fully indexed by SE by early December.

It is nice to know that this strategy still works although I am a bit dissapointed with the results so far.

I'm ramping up for the season by creating new products faster. Both to catch the Christmas market and to increase my income to buy my family presents.

I'm ramping up for the holidays by using the products in the WSO in my signature. Doing some niche blogging and some article marketing...Amazon affiliate sites are one of my main priorities this year.

Just remember if you spew anything on your keyboard, you asked.



As per usual, I'll get involved in the 12 Days Of Christmas Giveaway. Also, doing my own 12 Days Of Christmas giveaway to PCL members. If I can find an extra few hours (when will they slow down the spinning of this earth so we can have 30-hour days) I may produce a Christmas Special too.

I have switched it up to mainly cpa offers and physical products,

mainly electronics and a few other gift Ideas I know will be very popular.

I contacted a supplier and set up an amazon seller account and have already been getting a good volume of sales.

I decided to ship my self and keep inventory on hand that way I can ship out faster and earn a higher profit while selling the items for a lower price.

it's gonna be a lot of work but who cares, it's gonna be worth it.

I am actually gonna make a lot more cash than I normally do in a month. It will take a lot more work but whatever.

The season won't affect any of my current niches and have enough on my plate to keep me busy without starting something for just a few weeks. Business as usual

follow my relationship marketing blog for tips on building more traffic without relying on Google's whims.
