Ideally yes. I've seen people start much later and still rake up a ton of extra cash.

I think it's a little too early to start blasting my lists with gift ideas.

BUT SOON.

This season is ridiculous, apparently Christmas wasn't enough so marketers created black Friday and new years sales to triple up.

That's pretty pessimistic, you could buy ads and start an email list the day before. If you mean SEO, I still think it's worth it to start new sites now, you can surely build up some rankings by then, it might not be great but you'll make money.

Thanks

It is not pessimistic, it is reality. What you are talking about is reacting to the fact that Christmas is around the corner, not getting ready for the holiday sales. Getting ready means researching what will be the hot sellers this year, writing articles/reviews for your site, making header graphics for your site and social media pages, and the list goes on.

What you say is true. I can throw up a site in a few hours and start sending paid advertising at it anytime I want, but that is not getting ready, it is like I said...reacting

Yup. To be planning on making money from the Christmas rush, I would have begun no later than July.

I love how my post where I posted KW data about a Christmas related niche site I could rank on in 1 week got deleted.

I can have all of things you're describing outsourced and done by the end of the week. I could get 30 niche sites built and ranking before Christmas as well. You seem to be saying "well if you're not already prepared then it's not worth reacting." To be completely fair about this, if you wanted maximum earnings, well then I think you're years behind in preparation. Obviously you should be digging up the past 10-15 years of data and figuring out what's going to work from that information while appending this years data.

Why you're even hinting that "it's too late" I have no idea. Is this an attempt to demotivate or defeat people? It's not going to work on me for sure. I'm about to launch 30 sites just to prove a point to myself.

Thanks

People spend ridiculous amounts of money particularly during holidays. It's not too early to begin working on next year's Super Bowl week, Valentines Day, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. And the grandaddy of them all is expected to be the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Yes, Christmas Is a great month since it is the occasion that brings family and friend together. being able to spend time together and just be able to share the achievements made as they look into the new year. I first want to come up with some e-gifts that can be bought and send to that friend or any loved one through the email or even social media. It is the best way to say thank you and celebrate someone. I also plan to come up with a blog that gives advisory on the places to visit during this holiday. It is time for traffic people, lets grab this opportunity.

Guess the deal with Christmas is fleecin' people for their spirit of generosity.

They wanna buy shitloads of cool stuff for the folks they love, an' it is yr duty to fleece this emote.

Unless you jus' wanna cut to the chase an' mug Santa.

What's to lose with hittin' on a fat guy packin' the swag?

Al hit it on the money. Im not vested in any holiday Niches or Niches really that would be specifically targeted towards people during the holidays ( except weight loss)

But it is really best to start 'ramping' this stuff up with ideas and have a Plan in place by August, latest September.

Just my two cents based on my experience

I think the idea (for me at least) is to do all the prep work well in advance, and then let the money come in while we rest over Christmas

I would be inclined to say Campaigns... i.e Bing, Adwords.

As far as traditional Sites ? A little late in my opinion to be starting a whole new Site geared towards the Holidays. I remember when I did Amazon X- mas Sites a few years ago I started in August

Christmas is indeed drawing close, it start with thanksgiving which is on the 26th. The the 27th is Black Friday and it goes and on. People buying and others selling to maximize the rush and deals out there. Shops and already decorating and offering great deals and discounts. I guess as an internet marketer, there's no better time to start than now. It's really never too late if you know how to drive targeted traffic. Good luck to everyone.

Here at the North Pole or Madison Ave. as some call it, we at the Santa Claus Ad Agency are ready.

Why Santa Claus, do we give away gifts? NO!

Cause we

see you when your typing,
we know just where you go
we serve up ads all night and day
we just want your dough...

so you better watch out,
our ads follow you around
we won't let go til you
spend a pound (or buck)

Santa Claus Ads are coming to town.

We gather all your cookies,
we know of your every search
we are just like vultures,
sitting on our IM perch.

Anyhow, for us here at the SCAB, we wish you all a very
happy holiday, and we'll use the data we gather this year to pester you all of 2016 trying to sell you stuff, simply because you told us too. Didn't you?
