Successful Affiliate Marketers know to look for niches to make solid money.  Seasonal niches can be very lucrative if optimized ahead of time.  There are already Affiliate Marketers preparing sites for the Holiday push later in the year.

Back to School comes once a year and parents will spend mad amounts of money to make sure their little ones have all the binders, pencils, paper and glue (not to eat, hopefully) that they will need to be successful in their academic endeavors.  If you are looking to target your eager parents purchasing school supplies online, look no further than young parents.  Don’t forget about all the college kiddies going back to school as well.

Average spending for school supplies is close to $600 a year.  There are clearly quite a few school bound folk in the United States who will be flocking to Office Max and Staples online.

My advice to you.  If you have a site that is well positioned you should be signed up for an Affiliate Program that offers school and stationary supplies.  If you don’t have a viable avenue to cash in on Back to School season, prepare for next year.
