Dealing with black friday at Amazon

Last year at this time, I had no traffic and had no youtube channel.

This year, I have 5-10 clicks a day on my mini pc channel and averaging 200-300 views a day on my YT channel. So I decided to take amazon up on their offer.

They gave me three mini pcs that were going on sale. So I quickly generated blog posts for each then created a video for each. Posted the all last night with the non-black friday links.

then at midnight, I did two things. First, I changed the links to the black friday links. Second, I created a small ($10) promotion for each on YouTube. I have spend $2.80 so far and got 65 views from this. Overall I have almost 150 views on these three videos.

Then I went on Amazon today and noticed another mini pc I had written about a few days ago (and had a video) is also on sale. So I quickly created a promotion for it. Same thing. $10.

This is an experiment. If I sell 3 of each I will break even. So it's not a huge risk.

Will see tonight if I sold any...

great work Michael! Wishing you much success with this.

Today wasn't much of a start. I sold 3 items. one was an internal SSD, the others were miscellaneous items. So no mini pcs so far.

But it's still early. Will wait.

Looks like you are making great progress, Michael. Good job! Hopefully, sales will be there tomorrow.

I am making sales almost every day now. On one extreme it's been soap and stuff. On the other extreme there was a $900 pc that I didn't advertise. That's the "problem" with Amazon

I think this is the best part of the whole process... experimenting :)

Yes, if something works, you can double down on it. If not, try something else!
