I know that it’s still summer here in the US, but it’s time for me to start creating my marketing plans for Christmas. Why?

What I discovered last year was that there was a lot of money to be made selling products as an Amazon.com affiliate. I came across Info Product Killer, and bought it in late October.

I registered 11 domain names on November 6, and the sites were up in less than 2 weeks. I started getting traffic around the first of December, and I made a whopping $100 in commissions.

That isn’t much, but it proved to me that I could get sites indexed and getting free traffic in a couple of weeks. And if I had started sooner, I would have made a lot more money.

What’s been really encouraging is that all of the sites that I set up last November have been steadily getting more free traffic every month. And that’s with little to no work on my part. Since my traffic is growing without any effort on my part, I’ll build on the momentum I have.

What I’m going to do is to build out the sites I already have, add about 10 more product sites promoting Amazon.com products, and start getting traffic to them. I’m going to do everything that I learned with Info Product Killer to build SEO friendly sites and start driving traffic.

I’ll cross link the sites, put up a few blogs and link to my sites, optimize each page for the keywords I am targeting, and getting a lot of backlinks. I’ll add in a few articles on my blogs, sites, and submit a few articles to article directories. Put up a Squidoo lens or two, and see what happens.

This is the start of what I expect to be a very profitable Christmas. I’m going to update my progress on this quest, and tell you what I’ve found that works to get free traffic and sales. Stay Tuned…
