Is November usually a bad month?

Last november my sales dropped by a large amount, and it's happening again this november.

Then it shoots up in december and january and settles back down in february. Is this what you guys tend to see as well?
 


Im not exactly sure but holy shit, im going neg most days this month except sundays.. im getting pretty irritating...... Of course there are a ton of different factors involved but its possible not a lot of people are spending right before a big holiday like christmas
 
My guess is people are gearing up for the holidays and not spending much. December is good because of xmas, and january as well because people are spending money they got as gifts. Then february people are broke again and march sees an uptick (for me, anyway).
 
I've been in the biz opp space for years now.. I can tell you things usually slow down a bit mid summer, pick back up somewhat.. and then start slowing down toward thanksgiving... December definitely is a slow month.

On the bright side, January / February are freaking phenomenal so you have something to look forward too... that's my experience anyways.
 
Just wanted to clarify.. this is just related to some biz opp offers we have owned. My theory is that after Christmas and New Years a few things happen:

1) First of all, in most of the northern states it is colder than normal which means a lot more people are inside and surfing the net.

2) It also gets darker earlier, so more people stay indoors a lot more.

3) People max out their credit cards buying crap for little johnny and need google cash to pay for their credit card bills

4) Its a new year.. new opportunities. People are more willing to try something new.. and get a fresh start... it's the perfect time to get an obama grant or start making $543 / day from google.
 
Xmas shopping people look for freebies/deals/cash but of course my real Kwanza present comes on January 2nd, after people are sober from new years and the opening day of diet season begins.

Fatties welcome!
 
It's not that people aren't buying in November. They're buying something else. IN MY NICHE! Woohoo!
 
It's hard to make that generalization...it really just depends on the campaigns.

Yes he is right. It really depends on what the offer is... zip submits are definitely rocking before the holidays. Same with beauty products. The fall / christmas rush for perfume is very intense. See for yourself:

Google Trends: perfume

Anyways, I was referring to biz opps I have promoted in the past and how they performed before / after the holidays.
 
It really depends on the niche you are after, as mentioned.... if you are promoting EDU, then it drops dramatically until January
if you are doing Cash Advance, Credit, etc, then they start to boost and go high end of Nov and first of December
 
over the years we have typically seen a trend down from Oct to Nov with a slight jump at the end of the month when everyone is spending money on black friday. Then it seems to elevate until about the 14th of Dec and trends back down until after new years and those diet rebills start to rock.
