seasonal articles

[michaelsmoker]

I have only one seasonal article up (Thanksgiving, which could easily be changed to Christmas). Do other experienced CC writers create seasonal articles and then bide their time until the buying period for that season comes and more customers are looking for them?

I also wonder about seasonal article pricing. My Thanksgiving article has a very low price right now because the next Thanksgiving isn't for another 11 months. Around August or so, maybe I should increase the price again. Any thoughts?

Actually people buy seasonal articles well in advance of the season.

Yeah, they do buy them in advance...and I wouldn't bother waiting to change the price. I mean, it took you the same amount of work to write - why give a discount? I'd change the price now to what you think it's worth; then the next time you have to think about it is when you get the sale notification.

Hi,

I just sold a seasonal article about summer activities that I wrote ages ago for $70 for full rights. I wouldn't put the price down and I waited for the sale. I am glad I did.
