Black Friday is just 4 days away. People all over the USA (and the world) are getting excited about this event. In 2015 US customers spent almost $4.5 Billion (with a B) online during the black Friday weekend (source). As millions of customers are ready to part with their money we are getting excited by all the opportunities coming our way. And when I say “we” I mean brick and mortar businesses, online entrepreneurs, affiliate marketers, blogger and many others.

When people are spending over 4 Billion dollars in one weekend, I can assure you that affiliate marketers are making millions of dollars in commissions on that same weekend. Hopefully you are one of them.

If you have an online presence (even if you aren’t making any money yet) you could and definitely should be taken advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness. There are certain things that you should have done a while ago (and I’ll cover that) but there are also quite a few things that you can still do right before the madness begins. This episode of the Extra Paycheck Podcast is all about getting your business ready for the craziest weekend of the year! Scroll up and press the play button to hear the full episode.
