New Post from Lincolnshire Poacher:
So Christmas is only a few months away, how are you going to monetise it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This thread is not about saving money for Christmas its about profiteering from the Christmas period.
Christmas is a fantastic time for marketers (or anyone who's even remotely interested in making money online) to bank.
Why, Well going up to christmas people are looking for ways to save towards it, around christmas people are buying all sorts of things gifts / food etc etc. and after it well people are again trying to save money and theirs always new years resolutions.
Christmas is always a good time of year for me. (Except for this year I'm supposed to have the girlfriends parents over). But usually from this time onwards my brain is working overtime with new methods and monetizing ideas.
There are so many niches you can target its insane and so many offline / online hybrid methods for this time of year. I think I'm going to split this up into 3 sections. Pre xmas, December, and post xmas.
Pre xmas - This will be from now onto mid November. probably targeting the make money online niche. Saving club affiliate programs and the dating niche. (No one wants to be lonely at Christmas). Also building up squeeze pages for what to buy the other half at xmas.
December - this will be from mid November to christmas day. I suspect super market CPA offers will play a big role in in the week leading up to xmas (it did last year). obviously gift and gadget affiliate programs as well hopefully via email marketing with lists gathered from the pre xmas squeeze pages. Also theirs the Lincoln xmas market! and other christmas markets, an army of flyers will have to be arranged. and a more aggressive go at the dating niche, Asian / Russian brides affiliate programs maybe. also credit card card affiliates.
Post xmas - boxing day till end of January. This is an enormously competitive and very very very lucrative time. As well as the loan affiliate programs. You also have the new year resolution market. the weight loss market, the dating / pickup market, the quit smoking market - e-cigarettes kerrching!, the set up your own business market. all can be covered in one big foul method - MEMBERSHIP SITES - its what i specialize in and is a fantastic earner.
you also have people trying to make money online. I may set up explain how to set up your own Get Paid To site (GPT) like swagbucks. you will all be shocked and just how much of cut your getting.
To all the nay sayers don't worry there wont be any affiliate links or underhand marketing tactics.
It would be nice to know what everyone else is working on for the christmas period.
I'll post on the next post as diary this post I will leave just as an introduction.
Work like people wont for a few years, so that you can live like people don't for years to come!

Pre Xmas:
Have been working on a free ebook in the make money online niche. Which will in effect be a squeeze page promoting ways to make money online. It will be monetised via affiliate marketing however the emphasis is on keeping costs down as its aimed at the low earner / unemployed. And will only be promoted via offline means - although will have relevant social media.
Status so far 5000 words already written taking an age and a day with all the screen grabs.
Aged domain which is short brand-able and easy to remember purchased at auction.
Video narration script written. just looking for a suitable accent cant make up my mind between using different regional dialects on different sub pages or going with an all round working class London accent.
flyer designs have been outsourced and received. will send to the flyer printer once I have chosen a suitable CPA offer for the other-side.
Other projects
Squeeze pages - need to do keyword research on suitable keywords which are not going to be unprofitably competitive, possibly media buys / ppc if any decent Cost per click / Cost per Milli deals arise.
dating offers will be via media buys bit too early to be promoting yet!
December:
How to tackle Lincoln Xmas market. this has been puzzling me for sometime and there are a few ways which I've thought off. The thing is Lincoln xmas market last year got around 200,000 people. you literally cant walk in old Lincoln there are that many people. which kinda rules out flyering as there will be just too many people. its also quite affluent with a lot of foodys going their. maybe flyering cars is an option.
Post Xmas
Will create a few membership sites filled with PLR content. Havn't started this yet. same goes with a GPT site.
Last weekend I met up with a new business client if my solicitor gives the green flag that all court documents are as good as I believe they are, I suspect this project will be taking up a significant part of my time. However I cant discuss this further and I will still continue this.
