What does New Years mean to you? For most of the world it means a fresh new start and celebration. For marketers it means busting your butt and cashing in on New Years resolutions. Nearly everyone jumps into the new year with some crazy resolution which usually lasts a few days to a few weeks. How long these resolutions last isn’t what matters, but instead how excited everyone is to make a change and start fresh, which simply means opening their wallets and buying everything in sight to help them get started.
Here are the top three New Years Resolutions for 2011 and how you can start banking mad money.
1.) LOSE WEIGHT
Every year it’s number one, and it’s probably the most repeated resolution as well. Everything from weight loss plans, exercise equipment and diet pills… nearly all products and services in the weight loss niche will see a huge jump in sales during Dec/Jan. The rebill market is still thriving with weight loss offers, and there will always be a buying market for weight loss products, it’s up to you to find the best ways to hit your audience and relate to them personally with your ad copy.

2.) MAKE MORE MONEY / GETÂ BETTER JOB
2011 has been a horrible year for many individuals and losing their jobs, losing money in their retirements or even getting taken off unemployment. No matter the situation, rich or poor… every wants to make more money, and the majority of people hate their jobs. “Make Money Online” and “Education” offers are a great way to tap into this resolution. The majority of the make money rebill offers are low end trash, but they are still big business. If pushing rebill type of offers aren’t for you, you can always take the education route, which can still earn you a $10-$30 payout per lead.

3.) QUIT SMOKING
Who ever would have thought that you could legally sell a product that says “THIS PRODUCT IS HARMFUL AND WILL KILL YOU“, and billions of people would use it daily… and pay a ton for it as well! As addicting as smoking is, the annual resolution to “quit smoking” always comes into play. The most obvious way to push a product to this audience, is with the e cigarette type offers. You also have the option to promote ebooks and other consulting type services to help others from their addiction of smoking.

Other resolutions to make the Top 10 list include:
4.) Spending more time with the family
5.) Giving back to others
6.) Getting in better shape
7.) Working on spirituality and faith
8.) Going back to school or take online classes
9.) Getting out of debt
10.) Making a clear path and solid outlook plan for the coming year.
If you haven’t already, build out new campaigns and landing pages that are focused on the new years and “creating a new you for 2011”. Relate to your audience, while promoting a quality product and you should see some great numbers over the next few weeks.
You can find offers for each of these resolution topics, but I highly recommend taking a look at EWA / BlamAds (Biz Opp, Weightloss/Teeth) , Peerfly for Zip submits on these topics and Neverblue, who also has all niches covered. Three exciting networks I’m thrilled to continue working with through the new year.
I can't wait for 2011 because I will be launching my very 1st CPA offer. It is going to be in the education vertical because it is real profitable for me right now.

Awesome! That will be a lot of fun to work with!
Ha yea, I decided to go with a traditional post instead of listing my own resolutions and goals. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Mine is concentrate a lot of my efforts on building my mailing list to 25,000 – 50,000 by end of the year. And live life a little more!

Mailing lists is where a ton of blogs, web sites and businesses make all of their money. A great area to concentrate your efforts on.
A New Year, just like a major Holiday season is a great time to market to people. But it's even greater because if you're able to get conversions, chances are they'll stick with you the whole year – maybe even longer!
Thanks Zac, for the post.

It's also great because once you get good at it, you can plan in advance for next year.
Epic list of new year resolutions! 2011 should be exciting.. Have a Happy New Year!
Thanks, I can't wait to see what 2011 hold for all of us. You too!
I have only made one this year and that is to make a minimum amount of money every day with my blogs. I'm hoping it will help restore the motivation that I've lost lately. 🙂

Great. Hit your targets then continue to scale.
I don't have any New Year's Resolutions at all like John Chow. Instead, I have goals in mind for this year. I plan to become a successful internet marketer which I need to earn a lot of money daily, and also to lose weight and gain some muscles by going to the gym.
Happy New Year guys!

Sounds like a great idea for a blog / case study. "How I Lost Weight and Starting Working from Home".
International is also huge. Just using Facebook Ads as an example, it's so easy to target non US ad campaigns effectively.
I will save money up for a house to my sister! Yayaya…..

Hi Zac, I hope that the fountain of good and innovative (and profitable) ideas for 2011 will continue to spring!
Keep the good work on this blog coming, I am a loyal reader and appreciate the added value!
Nice ideas for the coming year, Zac. I think I would go with 'Making a clear path and solid outlook plan' resolution. Last year I just did what I think was fun & enjoyable, and I never had a solid plan.
Well it seems you've got some ideas for making your life better in 2011. I think that's the general idea for New Years Resolutions, but sometimes just a subtle resolution can be as powerful as quitting smoking, don't you think? Like promising yourself that you'll spend more time on this or focus more on that. Nevertheless, I think you've got some great ideas for 2011!
Great list! I'm gonna get in crazy shape this year. I was on my way until Christmas time lol.. Gotta love holiday food. 2011 is gonna be a good year.
My recent post Best WordPress Plugins for 2011
Definitely a very good list. This year is surely going to get very big. I am looking forward to this year as I am some great expectations from this year. My Christmas holidays were awesome and I enjoyed them a lot.
A great list, some ive never even thought about
Small tip for people looking to monetise resolutions: 43things.com , which is a social site that has tens of thousands of users posting goals, cheering/advising each other, reporting benchmarks and failures etc. There is a ton of information and insight there to be gleaned from the chatter.
