Seasonal Products and Your Internet Marketing Business
Jan 26th
Every year around this time, I’m reminded of the seasonal nature of some of my products. Actually my top sellers are seasonal. Once winter sets in, sales begin to dwindle until spring. It leaves a tough couple months where my ad spending remains unchanged, but the clicks just don’t convert.
This is an example of when you should consider diversifying your product offerings. Getting into a new niche can really help you out in this situation. That’s what I’ve been working on in the last year.
My site, 90MinuteBusiness.com is a line of products that I hope will boost my income during the slow season for my physical products. When physical sales drop off, my 90 Minute Business products continue to keep me afloat.
What’s your experience with seasonal shifts in your sales? Have you been diversifying and trying new niches to combat the effect? If not, maybe it’s something you could work on in 2010.
Best of luck,

Should You Re-Invest Your Internet Profits Offline?

I’ve been keeping busy lately with graduate school and a few new products that will launch soon. But that hasn’t kept me from watching the news and reading a few blogs now and then.
A couple news stories in particular have been catching my attention. These stories involve affiliate taxes, Paypal releasing income above $20k to the IRS in 2011, and possible FTC regulations hitting Internet marketers. It’s a sign of the times, perhaps. The recession has stirred up interest in finding additional money for state and federal government use. Maybe it’s not just about the money. The Internet has gone fairly untouched as far as business goes. It was a new technology and medium for commerce to capitalize on. But the show is over. People are making money. It’s become the norm to shop online for just about anything. And so greater regulation and taxation are headed for online business. More >
