New Year Niches to Promote January 2010

[Linda Buquet]

Now that Christmas is over, it's time to promote products that sell well the 1st part of the new year. Think of New Year's Resolutions. What do people want to accomplish the 1st of the year? What are common goals? How can you help them reach them?

Here are a couple posts that have some good ideas.

Explosive Formula for Affiliate Marketing in the New Year

There are two things that make the New Year a fantastic time for affiliate marketing

1. All the brand advertisers that were buying and bidding up prices leave the market place. So reps for ad companies actually want to talk with us again and have time for us affiliates.
2. New years resolutions. It’s a new year everyone wants to stop what they’re doing and start doing something better.

Any of these niches look familiar? Ironic isn’t it? Pretty much a list start to finish of the best converting niches in affiliate marketing. Ironic Isn’t it?

Cheap Media ( brand advertisers leaving ) + motivated buyers ( new years resolutions ) + pain products ( see previous post here ) = Dollars in your Wallet.

Linda, I have some suggestions from us

Here is a blog post that this thread inspired me to write just now.

Gifts, New Year’s Resolutions Make First Quarter Hot!

Excerpt:

Thousands…no hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. alone are currently staring at their instruments or painting kits and are desperate for instruction. Or they are determined that this will be the year that they will finally learn to dance with their spouses or really learn that instrument they have only been messing around with for years. They are looking for serious instruction…and we are just the place.

First quarter is the HOT time for our Learn & Master courses. In fact if you look at our top months after December, first quarter dominates, with January, February, and March making up our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th biggest months.

In addition to our stuff, insurance is a great industry to promote this time of year. January is typically the biggest month for auto insurance, life insurance, and health insurance, since people are doing budgets and have recovered from spending all of their Christmas money.
