Nice article!
I don't have products to sell on my different websites but I do use affiliates and holiday articles. I go through before Christmas and put links to holiday articles and find affiliate products that would make nice gifts and give them center attention.
Amazon is one of my affiliates and for the first time in the 4 years I've used it, I'm actually getting orders through the links!
I do have to remember tho that after the holidays, I need to go back and put links to other things and remove the holiday stuff.
