Take Advantage of Cyber Monday

Post by Celeste Stewart »

Hey guys, today I tweeted "In honor of Black Friday/Cyber Monday, the following article has been discounted from $XX to $XX" and then linked to an article I had discounted. I mainly discounted it because it was quickly becoming obsolete (it was about Twitter lists). It sold right away!

If you have any articles you want to move, you might try tweeting your discount ;)

I took a $25 hit on that one, but because it was quickly becoming obsolete, I was considering removing full and unique rights here and then putting it up at AC. Glad I discounted it here and tweeted it because I still received dramatically more for the article than AC would have ever paid for it :)

I gave it a ten-fold try, thanks for the idea. I have sold nothing but a 7 dollar article for 9 days.

I'll retweet some of yours in the morning, too. Who knows? It's worth a try, right?
