How To Successfully Use Articles To Promote Your Affiliate Link

The best way to get visitors through your affiliate link to the Silver Lotto System is to:

- Write an article

- Provide your ClickBank affiliate link at the bottom.

- Spread the article around to as many article directories as you can.

There are several ways you can do this, and here's one of the easiest ways to start...

1. Write an article of 400 words on any topic. 

The quickest way is to adapt articles that have already been written. Rewrite existing articles in your own style from article directories such as EzineArticles on the most popular subjects:

- Dating

- Health & Fitness

- Relationships

- Weddings

- Celebrities

- Weight Loss

- Food & Cooking

Follow the guidelines at the Lotto Affiliate Center on how to change your sentences (the "Rewrite Articles" link). It's important to make the article entirely original by rewording ALL the sentences. To increase the chances of it being fully original, use several articles and from them merge parts of several sentences to make your article completely different. 

The more original your article is, the higher it will rank in the search engines, and the more appeal it will have to your readers.

2. Write an effective Tag Line for your Resource Box.

Here is the secret on how you can use any kind of article to promote the Silver Lotto System. In the author resource box at the bottom of each article, first write a bit about yourself in relation to the article. For example, if you were writing on dating, say something like:

"Fred has been successfully dating for three years."

Then follow it with one of these lines containing your affiliate link:

"Fred also uses this unique lottery system that gets him winning the lottery up to 9 games out of 10."

"Fred also discovered this unique lotto system that allows him to win the *********** Lottery for up to 9 games out of 10."

You can either insert the name of a popular lottery to help you in the search engines - or you can simply leave the name out and use "lottery" as a generic word to appeal to a wider audience.

Another typical tagline might be:

"Fred is an expert on dog training, and in his spare time wins lottery prizes in up to 9 games out of 10 with this amazing lotto system."

Or:

"Janice is an expert on Mediterranean food, and in her spare time wins lottery prizes every 9 games out of 10 in the Arizona Lotto using this successful lotto system."

3. Embed Your Affiliate Link.

Use your ClickBank affiliate link (as shown in the Lotto Affiliate Center), and link it to the lottery words in your resource tag line. The words you are linking to are often referred as anchor text. 

For example, if you used your link in the text "successful lotto system" in the previous tagline for Janice, then, using the sample affiliate Tinyurl at the Lotto Affiliate Center, the code would look like this:

<a href="http://tinyurl.com/lottopicks">successful lotto system.</a>

And incorporated into the tagline, it looks like this:

"Janice is an expert on Mediterranean food, and in her spare time wins lottery prizes every 9 games out of 10 in the Arizona Lotto using this <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lottopicks">successful lotto system.</a>"

- Replace the Tinyurl with your ClickBank affiliate link. 

- Make sure you only have one link - the anchor text that leads to your affiliate link. Any other link will only distract the reader. You want to provide only a single funnel for them to use that leads directly to your commission!

4. Send your article out to the Article Directories.

Use the list shown in the Lotto Affiliate Center. For best results, change the heading of the article each time for each Directory.

There are many methods to promote your affiliate link to the world. But unlike blog or forum comments, articles are longer lasting because they can be sent to many different outlets.

Remember... volume is key. The more articles you can get out to the world, the better.

Let me know how you get on, and if there's any way I can help you improve your article skills - just ask me!

Happy Winning!

How The Simple Lottery Affiliate Life Translates Into Profits

In my search to bring you better affiliate knowledge, I have to kiss a lot of frogs (female, I hope!). That means each day I search - and sometimes buy - information that I think will be useful in helping you sell our products.

But mostly I don't find any princesses... nothing better than what you get on my Lotto Affiliate Center website, for free.

The internet affiliate business has involved into a hugely complex machine. Each area of Pay per Click... Adwords, Adsense, incentivized traffic, lead generation, content gateways... and so on - have their own techniques, secret language and closed communities.

And all it adds up to an intricate business structure that sometimes takes a beginner years to figure out, and a heap of dollars to buy.

The good news is that you don't need to know most of that stuff. That's because over the years I've discovered that only a few methods really actually work for my products.

There are some promotional methods we actually can't use - we can't advertise lottery products on Google for example, but that's good for us because Adwords and Adsense are actually the most inefficient and expensive methods around. Only the very rich can afford to get the best results from these.

So don't take any affiliate courses or buy Super Affiliate books... they will not help you nearly as much as the tested & free material at my Lotto Affiliate Center.

The expensive courses will tell you how to set up your own squeeze page... which I do for you far more effectively at a small cost. They tell you how to build a opt-in mailing list... which I do for you with no work, free. They'll tell you how to write and give away your own ebook for leads... days of work, which you get free in a few seconds!

And best of all, my methods are time-tested and are designed to work for our products - not some obscure dating site or rubbish weightloss system that everyone follows and has to fight for recognition.

The best methods for promoting our products are:

- Articles on how to win the lottery.

- Blogs that give lottery results.

- Blog articles.

- Specialized websites that promote one lottery game.

- Squeeze/landing/mini-site pages.

- Free Reports.

There are a number of other promotional methods which can be effective depending on how they are used:

- Forum posts.

- Blog comments.

- Signature links.

- Banners and graphics

... but in general stick to the first list. To help you, they are indicated on the Lotto Affiliate Center with a star system so you know which one to start first.

My suggestion for a simple way to increase your sales commission - concentrate on the method that works for you, and when you see results, expand it as quickly as you can.

If you get a good response from a lotto results blog, then build 1 a day and create some volume. If you get results from 1 article, ramp up your effort and write 5 a day.

In each case, a successful method can be expanded and sales growth will follow.

Make it suits your business style and personality, because that way you'll continue when others find it too tough. As an obvious example, if you enjoy writing, articles are the way to go. Don't worry if the method you use appears not to be as fast or effective as another.

The best promotional methods are the ones you enjoy - and that will show in the results.

To sum up, whatever you do, make it simple:

Write an article.

Take a quick break.

Write another.

Answer an email.

Write another article.

Before you know it you will have 5 articles on the go and you will be setting up future sales with each one.

But do it! Resolve to start something today to begin building your affiliate empire.

Happy Selling!

ClickBank Affiliate Link Answers, And A Successful Affiliate Sales Figure

I want to talk today about your ClickBank affiliate link, and how some issues can affect your sales.

First I want to tell you about a scenario that many affiliates can encounter from time to time. It's sometimes common to find affiliate 'experts' who freely talk about getting ripped off by the product vendor. These guys will say commission is not given to the affiliate because it is being illegally redirected or concealed by the vendor. 

That kind of deliberate cheating doesn't happen here at all. We don't use any form of redirects, cloaking scripts or frames which may cause ClickBank to lose track of their affiliate ID. I want to make that quite plain.

In case you get confused about exactly what you can get commission on, there's 35 Silver Lotto System products that are commissionable. But some are not. I'm talking about the Lotto-80 membership site which at the moment doesn't provide a commission. 

The reason is that the process for a membership site is complicated to set up and administer. For example, I give an extra month gratis to every renewal, and that has to be done manually. With the number of vendors we get signing up daily, that is quite a job. And unfortunately because I have ultra tight security issues, I'm not able to outsource this task.

You can easily see which products attract the commission at the Lotto Affiliate Center. Remember that you can always check this information at the Lotto Affiliate Center as part of my transparent affiliate business practices.

On another issue concerning affiliate links, it seems Google has been recently downgrading websites that have a ClickBank affiliate link going to the order page. They are discovering them by looking for the unique hoplink that ClickBank provides in every affiliate URL.

In some cases a ClickBank hoplink website with high page ranking of #1 - #3 has been downgraded to position #30 or more. Looks like Google is promoting their own cause by downplaying affiliate websites and dropping them out of SE sight to favor their own advertising.

So it's important that you check your affiliate link and make sure it is cloaked or protected in some way. At the Lotto Affiliate Center I show you how to protect it using Tinyurl.com, and that's a good first step. There are many other methods to protect your affiliate link. If you're an expert in HTML or php you could write your own code. ClickBank.com also shows ways you can protect your link, but again they are for advanced users.

Use Tinyurl.com and you'll be protected for most problems. Don't forget to check your affiliate links periodically to see that you're still receiving commission. You see how to do that test at the Lotto Affiliate Center too.

And congratulations to an active affiliate who has just made themselves over $7000 in a the last couple of days. While I can't reveal the exact methods the affiliate used, it's important to realize that scaling up is the solution to bigger commissions. If you find that one thing you do works well, concentrate on expanding that method as fast and as far as you can. Volume is the answer!

I try to do my part each day in aggressively increasing conversions and time-sensitive offers, and reducing refunds. In each of these fields we are improving... sometimes dramatically in the case of bringing our refund rate way down in recent weeks.

As always, I want to help you ramp up your sales as fast as you can, so feel free to contact me at the email address in the Silver Seller newsletter with your questions.

Happy Winning!

How Volume Increases Your Sales

Hard question: what's stopping you growing to be a successful affiliate?

I'll tell you...

Volume. 

Or more specifically, lack of it.

For example, take the most successful method of creating affiliate sales for the Silver Lotto System - article writing.

Most people can write 1 article a day if they are pressed.

Several can write 2-3 a day.

A tiny motivated few can push out 5 articles a day, regularly, for months on end. That's rare however.

Then there are the masters... writers who create a dozen or more original articles a day. 

They do this because as the volume of articles increases, so do sales.

If you want to grow sales, you need to write more.

At Ezine Articles, the net's most highly rated article directory, Sean R Mize is the undisputed master at the top of the writing production tree. Today, 16 November, I counted 11 articles he had authored or had ghostwritten under his name. Yesterday it was 12.

And so far Sean has gotten over two and a half milllion views from his nearly 24,000 articles, over 4 years.

One of the advantages in having a large mass of articles is that readers are highly targeted buyers. 

In Sean's case they find his articles from the search engines through the keywords he scatters through his paragraphs, and if they are interested they click through to his website via the resource box at the bottom.

As a result, maybe 1 in 10-100 will buy from him. It's a hugely effective strategy because buyers are presold by the article, and so it takes less work to generate a sale from the website.

Now, it's usual these days for only 1 in 1,000 visitors to buy cold from any website. So to achieve the same result as Sean with other traffic building methods like PPC (Pay per Click - not available for lottery systems), or search engines, you'll need to find 2,500,000,000 visitors. 

Yes, that's 2.5 billlion visitors. Very few websites achieve that huge number.

So you can see how writing articles is actually more productive in many ways.

The best part of this method is that it is deceptively simple. And as I explained in a previous article on this blog, you don't even have to write about the lottery... it can be any subject that interests you. Or it can be an existing article that you rewrite in your own words.

Either way, if your article is totally original, you have a tremendous advantage over most other article writers. The power of your words will have a compounding effect, and the search engines will love you for it.

The best way to succeed on the internet as an affiliate is to increase your volume of articles.

Now here's an insider's secret... the reason why a few people succeed and most fail. 

Failures choose to take an easy path.

Trying to decide between taking a walk or watching television? Instinctively you know one is better for you than the other. No contest. But the successful person will take a walk... they will choose the hard option because very few others do this, given a choice. 

Most others take the easier route and wonder why they don't get the same measure of success. By taking the hard route, the competition is less and you get better results.

Writing articles in bulk can be hard work until you get the hang of it. You can take some shortcuts by visiting Sean at 

http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sean_R_Mize and studying how he does it. 

More importantly he has written a number of tips there on how you can replicate his method of promotion.

Take a look, it's a valuable resource.

And don't forget, more writing means more sales. Get that volume up!

Happy Winning!
