Money Making Opportunities – Affiliate Marketing Lessons pt. 17 – Everything is Timing

You’ve probably heard that timing is everything. Everything is also…timing! How do you make sure you take advantage of the specific timing that is involved with Internet marketing and making the most of it? There are tons of ways to take advantage of timing. Not to detract from the point, but there is a difference between a long-term investment and a short-term one. There is a limit to what these “trends” can do. It’s not a bad idea, like stocks, to have some long-term investments and then try your hand at some of the short-term “fads” that can also be profitable. Anyway, the way I would go about this is pretty simple. You can check out the latest trends on google trends which will show you what the super-hot searches are for the month, for the year, whatever. If you can figure out how to take one of these hot trends and attach it to a product that sells like crazy, then you have a pretty good chance of making a buck.

And believe it or not, these trends, while hot during the week, can last a year or longer…you’ll continue getting clicks. So it’s not a bad idea to do this. All you have to do is start a simple blog or some kind of blog post and write a few articles pointing to it. This will be enough to get people to your blog and after that if they’re interested they will surely click on your affiliate links and may generate sales.

If you are stuck on what I mean by this, and can’t understand how to take advantage of trend, think about it this way…let me give you an example. Let’s say Charlie Sheen’s dog is the highest search in Google trends and you want to take advantage of that. Simple. Just grab a dog-training or make-your-own dogfood affiliate product from clickbank and voila, you make some sales… but pay attention…this is an important point, I’m not finished.

You should also think about which product. Just because you’re getting tons of click with some fad doesn’t mean it’s going to sell! So the rules of affiliate product don’t go out the window. Still try to find an awesome product that can convert. My favorite way of testing products is actually testing products. There are a lot of ways affiliates have of finding great products before they even start promoting them which isn’t a bad idea, but even better is having a list of people in your niche and trying out products on them. Even if it’s a twitter list…doesn’t have to be an email list.
