Quick Tip: Christmas in July!
We're in between holidays now, so this is the best time for me to give you the following tip:
As you start getting into the holiday season, and when occasions are coming up like Mother's Day, Father's Day and Valentine's Day, one thing that the MSN Homepage is really good at is letting you know weeks in advance what the hot products and hot gift items are going to be.
You can check out those items, and if one seems like it's a really good product, you can go to some of the affiliate programs that are out there and see if they offer those particular products. Or you can just search and find one and see if you can present that to your particular list if you plan on giving a gift.
This could be generic. It doesn't even have to be ‘nichified’ because regardless of what niche you're in, people have mothers and there's going to be Mother's Day every year. People celebrate Christmas and Channukah. People celebrate birthdays and Father's Day and different holidays throughout the year by giving gifts.
You can recommend particular gifts to them based on information you have gotten regarding what the hot items and great gifts are for the holiday. Pass that information on to your list, or those that you're in contact with, and have a convenient affiliate link for them if they're interested in giving some of those gifts. They could just follow that link to a site, and if they decide to go ahead and purchase it, then bam, you get some affiliate credit for it.
Simple as that.
