Did you guys got success with selling products of Year-End deals? There are a huge list of year end discount products on amazon. I promote one of discount products through facebook, twitter & forums. Got some sales instantly, not so bad. Give it a try for some quick profit
My Christmas focus was on products that would sell well over the season - I planned it about 3 months ago and built up articles etc. around it.
If you have thousands of twitter follower & a fb group of thousands member, its much easier to get instant profit by promoting any discounted common products as I did.
Yap...any special promotinal offer sells like crazy, if you can promote it on right way. Specially every american expend hundreds of dollar in these days.
Amazon's typical discount rate for books is 34%. I only do special additional promotions if the discount rates go to 50%. Most of the time, they do very well.
