Today is August 27, 2009, and now is the time to dust off, improve, and publicize all of your holiday lenses, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, and any other holidays that I have left out.
As we all know the biggest gift giving holidays of the year are Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, in that order. Two of them are coming up, and that means that if you want to make money from them, you need to get ready now.
It takes time for people to browse, bookmark, decide, and buy. It also takes time for backlinks to establish, search engines to find your sites and lenses, and word of mouth to spread. These activities should be ongoing on your part, continually publicizing your lenses, and other sites, but we all know that it is inhumanly possible to do these things at a high rate all of the time.
Summer is usually a lull for most of us, and what I am saying is that if you aren't going to do this any other time of the year, now is that time. Focus your mind, come up with a strategy, add backlinks to lenses that have been sitting, update the rest, make new lenses, and DO IT NOW! Give your lenses time to be recognized by search engines and people.
In the spirit of this push to holiday lenses, I invite you to read my favorite holiday lens of my own, A Christmas Story's Leg Lamp: The Wackiest Christmas Gift. I live in Cleveland, Ohio and the Christmas Story house is here. So the Christmas Story is a big tourist item here.
