I know it’s Thanksgiving and I hope you’re having a great one. I just wanted to get this tip to you today so you can use it tomorrow for Black Friday. It’s probably the laziest money you can make by tapping into this smoking hot trend.
Did you know that over 1 billion dollars will be made Online between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
People will be spending money like crazy trying to snatch up deals for Christmas gifts. They’ll buy stuff they don’t even need just because they don’t want to miss out on a great deal. It’s completely irrational and impulsive, but getting a great deal makes people happy and gives them something to brag to their friends about. Why not help them get their shop on?
Here’s a super lazy way you can get a piece of the action:
1) Sign up for an Amazon.com affiliate account (if you don’t already have one)
2) When you login and go to the main store on Amazon.com, you’ll notice the tool bar at the top of the page. On the left there is an icon that says “Link to this page”. This cool little utility will give you an affiliate link for earning a commission from any page on Amazon.com.
3) Go to this page on Amazon and get your link using the “Link to this page” tool:
http://amazon.hottrendslist.com
This will give you an affiliate link to send people to Amazon’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals page.
4) Use bitly.com or another URL shortner to shorten your link (I use the GoCodes plugin on my WordPress blog). Then email the link to your list, post it on your blog or website, Tweet it, post it on FB, and any other way you can think of to get people to click it. They are probably going to buy something from Amazon.com anyway, you might as well get a commission from telling them about some great deals.
That’s it. Laziest money you’ll ever make. It would especially well if you list some of the specific deals they have like 40% off big screen TVs and tablet computers, etc.
