Apple is holding its long-awaited ’Let’s talk iPhone’ event on October 4, and demand for the iPhone 5 is huge in advance of its release.
According to a recent InMobi consumer smartphone survey, 41% of current mobile users in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada plan to buy an iPhone 5—potentially making it the most successful launch from Apple to date.
So affiliates will want to start promoting those iPhone accessories and CPA offers quickly.
Another good option for affiliates in the business opportunities market is iPhone application development training programs, such as How To Create iPhone Apps With No Programming Experience.
Of course, October isn’t just about iPhones. There are a whole slew of holidays and events during the month, of which the most popular include:
- 7th – Yom Kippur

This is a GREAT time of year for affiliates in the genealogy space with it being Family History month. Share ways to celebrate this month-long event with your subscribers and promote the heck out of Archives.com and other genealogy sites.
Food bloggers can concentrate on apple and nut recipes, while animal lovers can celebrate Adopt a Shelter Animal month— by promoting plush animals to those who can’t.
Last, but not least of course, there’s Halloween which is the ultimate time to dress up your pet and promote costumes for dogs and cats as well as those treat-seeking little munchkins.
Shown here is Jasper, my chocolate Labrador wearing my “Bat-hat”. He will have to get cape to complete the ensemble. 
So how are you celebrating October on your affiliate site?

Wow…..I am happy to know that so much is coming October and people have amazing time and will enjoy the occasion.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the new Apple iphone. That Bat Hat looks good on Jasper.

Darn ya anyway…every time I get on your site I find so much great information, and get so distracted, that I soon find my stomach growling due to missing a meal or two!
Many thanks for practicing what you preach. You are truly the person to go to for truly useful, and the very highest quality content

Hey Eleanor,
Of course!!! Thanks for reminding me… I’ll add that to the post.

I went to a writer’s conference about seven yrs ago, and a lady was there who had written a book that listed a special occasion for almost every day of the year! It was intended to give freelance writers ideas to propose to magazines, but such a list could very well be a good resource for Internet Marketers, too.
Seriously a big list for this October i hope that everyone going to enjoy the wonderful month with more happiness and enjoyment
Sorry, I just realized that my previous post did not contain the name of the October event. October is “Breast Cancer Awareness” month in the U.S.
