Beijing 2008 & The Bigger Picture

August 8, 2008 – 9:22 am

8-8-2008… Today is the opening day of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China and this opens a huge opportunity for Internet marketers to tackle.  The entire world will be watching the Beijing Olympics on the television and you know that country rivalries in sports like football (soccer for those in the US), basketball, track & field, boxing, aquatics and gymnastics are going to be heating up!  This also means that sports fans around the world will be itching to cheer their countries on. 

There is opportunity to promote to sports fans just like any other audience in any other industry online!

Beijing is an event happening in 2008 that only occurs once every 4 years, but what about other events that you can take advantage of throughout the year?

Here are a few HOT events from this year that we personally know people have taken full advantage of marketing online (and made a killing):

- New Years Resolutions (weight loss, quitting smoking)
- NCAA Football Rose Bowl
- Tennis - Australian Open
- Chinese New Year
- Super Bowl
- Valentines Day
- NCAA Basketball Tournament
- Golf - The Masters
- Soccer - UEFA Football Championship
- 2008 Summer Olympics
… and the list goes on

We are constantly on the look out for current events that present great online marketing opportunities and we have a massive list that we give away to all members at Wealthy Affiliate.  The WA Task & Goal calendar provides notifications to members about upcoming current events that they can market online.

During the most recent World Cup Soccer tournament (2006), we set up a campaign where we earned $60 per minute (yes, per minute) during the times that the matches were on each day.  There were 3-4 matches per day, so you can do the math and see that we made a fortune promoting this one sporting event.  This exact opportunity will present its self again many times in the future (in 671 days, 6 hours, 28 minutes, and 51 seconds to be exact!).  There are many other marketing opportunities just like this happening each and every month, and you are missing out if you are not taking advantage of them.

Finding hot niches to promote online can earn you a fortune, and many of these events happen on an annual basis!  Once you’ve promoted an annual event once, you will be able to let things run on auto-pilot for years to come as you will have the marketing campaigns, the websites, the keywords, and the content ready each year when that event rolls around.

You can earn BIG dollars by staying current and up to date with what the hottest events are throughout the year.  If you want to get access to our list, you’ll have to join Wealthy Affiliate!
