If you follow me on twitter, you might have noticed that I was preparing your affiliate payments yesterday. Confirming what I was telling you a few weeks ago, resume sales don't seem to be affected by the bad economical news - quite the contrary actually, as most affiliates increased their sales in October, compared to September.
I also noticed some new trends about the types of resume services that are getting sold. The most noticeable trend, which I started noticing a couple months ago, is the increase in military transition resume sales, which are now accounting for more than 20% of our resume sales. This is especially good news for you guys as military resumes have higher commissions -- from $31.13 to $62.25 -- and less competition on the -- online -- market.
I'm also seeing an increase in nursing resume and lawyer resume sales while sales of our resume blasting service seems to be pretty steady, the low price and uniqueness of this service making it quite popular among job seekers.
What does this mean for you guys?
Well if your site appeals to military or nursing professionals, make sure to promote prominently the appropriate resume services and you should get some good sales and commissions. If your site does not appeal to professionals from these categories, don't bother, unless you create content and pages for these fields.
However, when it comes to resume blasting, this is a good match for any site getting job seeking traffic, whatever industry it is ... so go ahead and promote it!
