Summer Time Is In Full Effect

Posted on July 29th, 2009 by Collin in affiliate marketing

Seeings how we are at the end of July all ready I wanted to wish everyone who visits and reads this site and happy summer. I hope all is well for you and your family’s and your outside enjoying the sun as much as possible.

As For Me:

I have run into my first slow time with my affiliate sites. After the first week of July which was better then any other first week of the month I have had in the past, conversions have dropped a lot from what I have been noticing, and as the month of July nears an end, my conversations are extremely low.

Why is That?

For the most part I am going to contribute lower conversion rates to it just simply being summer time, families are on holidays – kids are out of school and the last thing people are going to be looking for right now is what my sites are about.

What Can You Do In A Slow Time?

Just keep building and working like normal, in my opinion. September is not that far away and our busy season for almost all products online is very close as well. We have 5 months until Christmas is here so if you are experiencing a slow period now, its a good time to review your current sites that you have up and get ready for the next wave.

I will admit one thing though. My son is home full time right now since school has ended so I have been spending more time with him just hanging out and stuff so July has even been a slower work month for me then normal too. It’s all good though, I have some big plans I am going to be putting into effect next month to insure I end 2009 with an amazing income and record earnings per month – stay tuned!

    G’day Colin

    There is one plus to having a slow month, you can slow down yourself and recharge your batteries. That is probably the one thing that destroys many people – they don’t slow down and recharge themselves. Thanks to your help, my site is now sitting in the top five (out 18 million) results on Google – it took a while, but I got there. :)

    cheers

    Its good summer has kicked in, I am sure you will be break your record once summer goes because then the lag will be compensated.

    Hi Collin how are you. I agree with Les, take some time to recharge your batteries and take that extra time and spend it with your loved ones, grow on relation ships and after that you will be all cherged up with new enegy and ideas. My 3 little girls are on vacation too and since i am quitting my job to push more my network marketing business and also to focus a little bit more on my ” try to make money online adventure” i can control my schedule better so i will surely set some more good time to spend with my little girls and wife while they are on vacation.

    Changing subjects, can you tell me what are some of your sites. i would like to visit some of them.

    Thanks

    Diego
