How to Make a Commission this Holiday Season

The holidays can be exciting, especially for entrepreneurs and businesses. During this time, many people are shopping for themselves and others, which means that they are willing to spend more money. Knowing this information and how to use it can be beneficial for an entrepreneur. So, here are some ways that independent business men and business women can see an increase in their commissions during this season.

1. Create a page where you blog about products, and use affiliate links to sell them.

Several people are going to be shopping for gifts, so if you know a lot about toys or beauty products or any other item that a holiday buyer might find attractive, create a website where you write product reviews. Then, attach your product reviews to the products in the articles, so you can get a commission every time someone buys them. Also, make sure that you have Google Adsense or Amazon Native Ads on this page, so that even if the buyer doesn’t buy your product, you still have the potential that they will click another ad on your page, which also enables you to get a commission.

2. Blog about new book releases.

This may seem silly, but book sales are usually up during the holiday season, so if you are a book reviewer, you may be able to make a commission through your reviews. To do this, you would have to link an affiliate link to the book in your blog, so that every time a person buys it, you get paid as well.

If you don’t like doing book reviews, then some authors will pay you a small stipend just to advertise their book on your blog. Of course, you have to have good viewing traffic and the ability to advertise your blog to do this, but by featuring their book on your page and getting viewers to look at it, the author will be happy, and you will get paid. Also, you can attach affiliate links to the book in this situation to drive extra income.

Note: You cannot ask for money to review a book. That is illegal.

3. Support small businesses by setting up a website that they can advertise on.

Working in a small business is a difficult job, and owners in this sector may not have a lot of money to advertise their business on big sites. Therefore, if you are good at advertisement and know how to set up a web page that people will visit, you may be able to work out a deal with a small business that allows them to advertise with you for a small stipend.

There are several other ways to make money during this time, but the ways listed above can be done from home. As this seems to be the new preference for many people, I felt that these positions needed to be discussed. All of these positions will allow you to be in your comfort zone which gives you a more relaxing and less anxiety prone area to accomplish your goals.

Also, since these tasks can be accomplished from home the need to travel is eliminated, which can save you a lot of time and money. These positions are perfect ways to make an income as they make it easy for you to set your own schedule and focus on work in a comfortable environment.

So, if you are looking for a way to make a couple of bucks this holiday season without having to answer to a supervisor and worrying about the issue of commuting, consider using your skills to advertise others.
