After reading the title you might be thinking,

"Has Roope finally gone crazy..? Christmas is after 1 month, not next week!"

Yes, you're right!

But now I'm talking about the "Christmas for affiliate marketers" = BLACK FRIDAY!

Black Friday in Numbers

Here are a couple of facts about Black Friday (source: Spendmenot.com)

• Black Friday 2019 saw 93.2 million buyers shopping online.
  
• Black Friday online shopping sales hit $7.4 billion, which is an all-time high.

To put this in perspective... Black Friday sales were more than the GDP of Montenegro or 50 other countries in a whole year!

• $2.9 billion worth of Black Friday sales happened through mobile phones.
  
• About 40% of shoppers made online purchases on Black Friday 2019.

=> Almost half of all Black Friday purchases happened online last year. Probably even more this year due to pandemic and overall online sales growth.

• Average savings on Black Friday specials are 37%
  

=> People are also saving a lot of money with Black Friday deals!

2 "Call-To-Actions" to You!

For many affiliate marketers, Black Friday is the best individual day of the year.

Companies are creating promotions and giving hefty discounts in all industries.

=> People spend more money
=> Affiliates earn more as a result.

If there is one time of the year when you should double your efforts, that's before/during Black Friday.

Your invested time and money will usually bring much bigger efforts than during the other times of the year.

=> Take advantage of the Black Friday offers as an affiliate! People are shopping more & companies are giving huge discounts so this brings you a HUGE opportunity!

Then to the second point...

Did you notice the last statistic that I mentioned earlier? Let's re-cap

"Average savings on Black Friday specials are 37%..."

=> SAVE MONEY!

If you are normally spending money on some products, you may get them for a much cheaper price during Black Friday.

Some examples might be:

- Laptop
- Phone
- Travel deals
- Online Business Tools
Etc.

For example, last year I bought an online course for $800...

Then I realized later that I could have bought it for $$400 cheaper during Black Friday if I would have just waited a few weeks.

I basically flushed $400 down the toilet! lol

Of course, you should be careful because some companies are showing "fake discounts". I hope that's becoming rarer and rarer but still you should be careful.

In the case of that online course that was a real $400 discount that I simply missed.

Anyways, there's one exciting thing coming up for all of us...

Wealthy Affiliate Black Friday!!!

If you have been a member of Wealthy Affiliate for a while, you already know that WA is providing their best deal of the year each Black Friday.

During my first year when I was a member, I somehow missed that... (I guess I didn't log in during the Black Friday - Cyber Monday.)

But I took advantage immediately during my second year.

I just saved money for the service that I would use anyway. And in fact, Wealthy Affiliate Premium (or Premium+) should never actually cost you anything.

When you go through the training, use the tools, connect with others and put everything into practice WA membership will most likely make you much more money than you spend on it.

From my own experience, I can tell that "investing" in the Wealthy Affiliate yearly membership has been one of the best use of the money during my whole life. It has brought the best returns! ;)

Therefore, let's remind people to take advantage of this Black Friday deal so they won't miss it in the same way as I missed during my first year here.

Fun times ahead!
