Well, at the time of this writing, Christmas is right around the corner, (a little over 3 months away). I know that may not seem that close, but I was in two of the warehouse stores the other day and both of them had displays of Christmas paraphernalia. Every year it seems the stores are starting earlier and earlier to try and make Christmas sales.
If you are an internet marketer, that probably applies to you also, at least to start setting up sales pages. Now I’m new at this, and this will be my first holiday period for making money online. As a matter of fact, I haven’t even thought about this until I got an e-mail pushing a product that reminded of it. So I started checking out other websites of people that are experienced at sales pages. Of course there are many ways to have a sales page, I don’t know that many myself, because as I said, I’ve been at this only a few months, but I know they’re out there.
One of the websites I came across was HubPages; it seems they have been around awhile and a lot of people have them. They don’t have just one page, but many, many pages. The authors of the couple of pages I visited had more than a hundred. HubPages is a site where you can create your own web pages for free. Each page is called a hub and is a separate page that can be connected to other hubs or left as an individual page. With the proper SEO techniques, they could make a lot of money from many different products, with each HubPage promoting a different product. You can go to their website HubPages.com and set up an account.
One of the ways to get products to promote and sell is to set up an Amazon Affiliate hub. If you are familiar with Amazon (and who isn’t?), you know there are probably thousands of physical products to sell and get commissions on. You don’t necessarily need to choose an expensive product to promote so you can make a large commission on a sale. It’s better to choose the ones that have high demands, the ones people think they can’t live without. This way, you have a better chance of making more sales.
The way to do this is to go to Amazon and check out their best selling items. Once you pick out a product, you will need to set up your hubpage. In the URL name make sure the keyword ie: the “product name” is in there, kinda like this; hubpages.com/hub/yourproductname. Then you will want to write around 500 words of content about it. You can rewrite the review of the product from Amazon or information you find elsewhere.
Then you add your Amazon affiliate link to the hub. You can add two links to the same domain, so place your links, where you think people will be more likely to click on the “Buy Here” button.
It also helps to add pictures and videos. You can get pictures of the product from Amazon, the product pages, or the manufacturers page, and you can get videos from YouTube by searching the product name.
There is a more indebt post on this at Tracey’s hub, if you want more information.
Since I am new at this, I haven’t actually joined HubPages yet, but since Christmas is around the corner, I think it’s time.
Take care,
Jamie
