Well

The Niche Man, inspired me with this thread on "Occupy Spammers",

(The Niche Man, I have to tell you if no one else does, that is the most clever title that I have seen this morning. You get the award.)

Social Media Owls, did you know there were 1200 products on ebay for "Occupy Wall Street"? Check it out:

occupy wall street | eBay

Also, do a product search on Google, you will see 2220 Listings:

occupy wall street - Google Search

And for you kindle writers, there are only 12 products, better get crackin'

But on Amazon Proper there are only 97...room for more:

So if you love them, there is much you can do. If you hate them, get revenge by selling products. There is money to be made though.

Thoughts?

  • Yeah - let's all make some real $$ off those poor devils before Bloomberg rounds 'em up and banishes them to New Jersey - for life. And before that he will force them to listen to Wolf Blitzer non-stop for 24 hrs. That will end THAT.
  • I don't know why but "occupy wall street" has 439 MILLION pages in Google.



    Seems like a lot of competition to beat!

    • 1. It's a cause that is broad enough to suit anyone's agenda and is getting promoted behind the scenes by some big groups (when it started there were ads on Craigs list offering people $100+ daily to "occupy wall street")

      2. it could make money (or so they think)

      3. gives all the bloggers something to talk about that can be turned around to prove whatever point they decide to make:rolleyes:

      4. people love bandwagons

      5. trend marketing

    • Yes, and my guess is that the people who have sites up about it don't necessarily know all about SEO.

      Man, I am starting to talk MYSELF into this.

    • That's when you are #11.
  • Not so creepy, Steve - most of the countries in the world have Occupy protests going on today. Literally. I went down the list yesterday of protest locations and it took me 45 minutes to get through it.

    I find discussions of making money on the protests some damned creepy irony, though.

    • Hi HeySal,

      They make the same mistake as my parent's generation - their eyes light up at the prospect of a few income-taxed sheckels tossed at them by people who steal the futures from their children.

      I hope the bold entrepreneurial spirits in here earn enough from their hastily prepared websites and crappy $1 kindle books to buy their own fortified island, otherwise they might find the consequences of their actions coming home to roost.

  • It is time to protest that kind of crap marketer who business people sentiment. Just shame for them.
  • It's ironic, really that thanks to the Internet, it has never been easier for the average person to make a substantial income, yet these protesters seem completely ignorant of that fact. Instead, they'd rather rant and rave, ignore the amazing opportunity that's staring them right in the face, and parrot pithy sayings and platitudes from those that haven't an entrepreneurial bone in their bodies. Such a sad, zero sum game mentality they have.

    Instead of hanging out in the park and engaging in a jealous protest, get off your asses and go make some money. Just keep your mitts off mine, ....please. The government takes enough of it already.

  • Hey Charles...I'll go in on a JV with you...

    Nothing like some good IRONY. I'm all about it

    • Ha ha, yes, Ironic but....

      Irony sells very well, although one has to be clever to make it so.

      It will be interesting to track the number of available products as time goes on.

  • are there any discussion forums dedicated to these protests?
    We can have a global forum with sections for different Countries. I am sure these protests are going to spread even further and a forum might do well.
  • This is so crazy.
    thanks to the OP for pointing this out.
    I have heard of trend marketing for adsense etc.

    But to apply current news events to sell kindle books, amazon books and physical products on Amazon/eBay is truly revolutionary.

    I notice that ll of the Kindle books on this topic were written this month.

    In addition the top selling kindle eBook is a direct copy of the Wikipedia post on Occupy Wall street. Like no research or originality either. I bet the full lot of them are direct copy and paste of relevant news articles on the Occupy Wall street movement. No research or originality.

    But they are getting tonnes of sales.

    I got to get moving.
    Thanks for the heads up on a new strategy.

    • Yes, and I think really, you are giving Google News what they want, Amazon what they want, the people who are interested in the subject what they want. Thus, with such a strategy one should get what they want right (more passive cash)?

  • Uh... I think there is a separate forum for this sort of topic (off Topic Forum), and it isn't this one. Let's not politicize this general forum, or it will quickly degenerate into something that it was not intended to be...
