Live In The Now But Make Money From The Future
It is July, so most people are wondering where they will be going on holiday or what they will do to stop the kids from killing each other for the next 6-10 weeks until they go back to school. But how many of you are thinking how much money you will make for Halloween or thanksgiving or Christmas?
The only two certainties are death and taxes
A wise man said that but he wasn’t into IM clearly.
-People will buy masks, costumes,spray string and fog machines in October
-People will buy,dolls,doll houses,skateboards,rocking horses,bicycles and cuddly toys in December
-People will go online in November to buy turkey fryers,plates,cookers,microwaves
-People will get go online on December 27th looking for advice on how to get divorced and how to kill their mother in law without getting found out.
These are just the certainties of IM
What Are You Doing To Get Your Share Of The $$
I know that thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas seem to be months away but that is good news as it means you have time to buy the domains, promote them and get some rankings before anyone else thinks on it.
Use The Domain Concierge - Tell her you want to get a domain related to the holiday of your choice, this is a good way of getting outside the normal zone
Halloween WordPress Themes -There are a great selection of themes available for Halloween and I think if you get on her list she may do some for other holidays.
You could buy the domain and install the wordpress themes, get the site indexed and then sell it on Flippa come 1st September. That seems to be the date when everyone suddenly realizes that Summer is gone and it will soon be Christmas. Your sites will already be indexed and you may even have made a buck or two but they will be prime for selling.
Buy two domains, build sites, keep one for yourself sell the other one. You could already be in profit before Halloween comes round.
If you put amazon products on the site then don’t forget to use http://easyspinintro.com/wpg.html to add keyword rich relevant content on the pages.
We know when Halloween is going to be, we know when christmas is going to be so there is no excuse for not being ready.
I know of one company that actually spend all year preparing for Christmas, that is all his site deals with, he earns a years income in one month. While I am not saying you should do that I do think everyone should have some holiday centric sites in their portfolio.






Hey Paul!
Thanks for the reminder. All too often we get caught up in the “NOW”, and forget about what’s coming up. As you said, in IM this is not a good thing. I know I was told by a very wise man when I started out to ALWAYS be thinking 6 months ahead.
That was so true – and so funny
(I didn’t know you had met my mother-in-law !)
