I was cleaning out my computer and getting rid of some old files, this is when I stumbled upon an image. A screenshot that I took exactly 5 years ago:

I have also used this image to promote Wealthy Affiliate, because this is where I learned to make money like this :D

As you can see:

  • 1 Day
  • 7 sales
  • $834.76 in commissions earned
  • So an average of $119.25 per sale

So what did I sell and how?

I sold... hosting plans. I do not have a site selling hosting, however, every single year, on Black Friday I do write a blog post, share it on FB, Twitter, etc and people buy it. Funny thing is, when people bought hosting at 75% OFF they paid about 25$ for 1 year of hosting and Hostgator would still pay out a commission of almost $120. Yes, that's a $120 commission on a $25 sale :)

I found this image and it kind of reminded me I had to do a blog post fort this year's Black Friday Sale on my IM blog so I did.

I hope this will give you some ideas and maybe some WA'ers will be able to put up a quick campaign for this year or the next year and make some extra $$ on the side.

Nothing like seeing those deposits rolling in to keep motivation up! What - Hostgator pays that much in commission...that's probably why they have, or at least had when I used them, so many upsells...lol. Thanks for the encouragement, Alex.

This is through Commission Junction. Affiliate program directly on HG pays $50-$100+ per sale depending how many sales you get. More sales = higher commissions, it's a nice incentive :D
