This $2,500 Affiliate Website Course Is A Shocking Waste Of Time

[blogphotoKenSilver.JPG]

I've just finished reading a 50-page website sales letter, and it's a shocker.

Because for the princely sum of $2,500 and 6 month's continuous learning, you can have the dubious honor of finding out:

- how to find the right profit-making niche
- how to build a website
- how to set up an email account
- how to select a domain name
- how to set up and run your own blog
- how to research the right keywords, and use them
- how to use social media to build your online business
- how to use video marketing to build your business
- how to use forums to build your business

...and so on, in mind-boggling detail. And maybe you'll earn a few thousand. Maybe.

All this, probably hundreds of hours of study, just to build a website business.

And at the end of it, you're faced with millions of competitors to battle because everyone wants to do the same thing... make a serious amount of money without much work. So the competition is fierce, even before you start.

There are simpler ways that I use and recommend, and that's my emphasis... SIMPLE, and they work universally. The simple ways that have built a $21 million/yr empire for a weightloss website will take work, but "simple' trumps everything because once you're on the way, it just requires Relentless Focused Action.

The basics of what you do are easy, but not many people have the stickability needed to build even a small business. Most give up far too soon.

If YOU continue, you will do well.

Let's face it, my way of building a solid business does NOT need great skill. Just Relentless Focused Action and some time each day.

Let's make a comparison. Their way is to give you a Harvard Business School education. My way is to write an article with a link that sends readers to my Silver Lotto products, several times a day.

Easy and simple.

You don't need any of the skills list in the $2500 course that takes months of work and has an uncertain ending.

With my system you KNOW that your effort is going to have staying power and will ultimately build your mini empire of affiliate commissions.

And you don't need any of these courses that will cost you an arm and leg and cause your brain to wilt from overuse. Look, you really want to spend time with your friends and family - NOT staring at screeds of technical jargon that barely makes sense.

Take a look at my previous posts here below. Everything is there, laid out for you.

Don't get taken in elsewhere with the promises of wild & easy wealth, because I can assure you - if there was an easy way, I would have found it!

I'm basically lazy by nature... everything I do I want to take the path of least resistance so I can spend my time polishing my exotic sports cars, traveling or visiting family whenever I want.

So I would have found the solution... and I haven't yet. But my way is the easiest, simplest way of building a sustainable affiliate business I have found yet, and the proof is in the sales I get.

My own sales figures came in from several sources, and I'm able to get a split of around 60:40. My affiliates get the 60% share. (Don't confuse that with the commission... it's still 75% of sales).

My own work gives me 40% of all sales... and that comes directly from my keyboard, writing articles and getting them out into the big wide world.

Take a look back at the last few posts, get to work and resolve to make 2011 your best year yet!

The Most Important Factor In Getting Affiliate Success


From time to time I've come up with a number of what I consider essential statements to help you succeed as a lottery affiliate. For example, there's RFA... Relentless Focused Action. 

And "Volume" is another big one. Doing more of whatever works is essential for growing your sales.

These are both important in their own way, but another essential power phrase for getting things done is "Single-mindedness."

The most important part of Single-Mindedness is the way you need to concentrate on one single action that leads to success.

You'll notice that my Lotto Affiliate Center has a multiple number of ways to promote Silver Lotto products. When they are faced with these many options, affiliates try the ones I recommend first. But if after a while it doesn't seem to be working for them, they move onto the next one. And so on.

You'll never get real affiliate success this way.

It's more important to find the promotion or action that works best for you, and concentrate ONLY on that - to the exclusion of the other methods.

Now, as a main strategy I recommend article writing. There are a number of reasons, but the main one is that useful articles on any topic are valuable because they last for years. If you go back through any of the article directories, you'll see many old articles still pulling in readership.

On the best article directories, like Ezine Articles, the older an article is, the higher the readership numbers.

I only have about 65 Ezine Articles articles at the time of writing this, but over the last 3 months I've watched my reader figures climb to nearly 40,000. One article has 12,000 views alone.

And they continue to grow.

So it's a question of get writing as soon as possible so you can build the number of articles up. As they naturally age, they'll attract a growing number of readers from search engines and viral promotion without any more work from you.

You must understand that using this form of promotion means that you'll do quite a bit of work at the beginning before you see results. 

I often liken it to a number of barges floating down a river. At the loading dock you put in your payload on each one in turn as it berths. That's when you write an article.

Then it goes on its way, and you follow it up with another. Before long, a little way down the river each barge will arrive at its destination and be unloaded to the reader.

The important part of this strategy is to keep writing, even when you don't see immediate results. That's because the barges are still in transit and haven't reached port. 

But when they reach their destination - your readers - then it becomes a relentless flow of information that never stops.

The Only 3-Step Lottery Affiliate Secret You'll Ever Need


What you are about to read is the basis for the upcoming Lotto Code. The manual will explain the process in more detail, but for now you can get started - and get a lot accomplished - right from the information I'm giving here and from a previous post.

If you have a little writing ability, a huge determination and the ability to scale up and work hard, the rewards from being a Silver Lotto System affiliate are enormous. 

And the process is super-easy. 

Just write. 

I earn about 40% of my multi-million dollar income simply by writing an article a day. I've done that for years, and that's where the success is... continuity and volume.

Volume is the main key. 

Just think - if I wrote 12x the amount I currently do each day, that would give me the Million-A-Month goal I'm aiming for in 2011. Since I write less than 20 minutes a day right now, the potential to scale up is huge. 

You can do the same. Just write more, and you will boost your affiliate in.come massively. All you need is determination and 3-6 month's worth of writing to start everything rolling.

You've already got the product you need to promote - my Silver Lotto System - so you don't need to check out any other kind of source. Sure, in other fields there are plasma TV's, mobile phones and expensive audio products that might give a higher affiliate payout. But the competition for these is enormous, and will take you years to break into those markets. They are only for highly skilled Super Affiliates with a big mailing list or massive advertising budget.

Most affiliate training courses and books go on about the product selection process, marketing trends and making sure the affiliate stays ahead of the game when one product or another falls out of fashion. In fact, if you've chosen a long-trend product like mine, there's no need to keep up with anything. 

My products have lasted for the past 20 years, sales are still growing and show no sign of easing up. The perfect product is my Silver Lotto System, and it ticks all the profit boxes in every way:

- low refunds
- universal in demand
- easy to use
- started 20 years ago
- it works
- still growing

Stick with what works.

So let's concentrate on the second part, the lifeblood of any business... visitors and traffic.

Getting visitor traffic my way requires some skills, but not much. All you need is a basic writing ability and to be able to follow a set plan. It takes some work - mental work mainly - and  if you are not a natural writer it can be boring at times. I enjoy it immensely, but then most writing is fun for me.

The concept is simple, and I revealed part of it in some detail a couple of posts back.

Each day, write 5 or more original 400-word articles on any subject, and put your cloaked affiliate link for the Silver Lotto System in the author's resource box. Then post your work to an article directory.

That's it. If you can do this regularly for 6 months, you will have the strong and permanent beginnings of an ever-growing affiliate in.come.

Where people come unstuck is trying to do too much at once in different areas. There are a huge number of ways to promote a product in the market place... blogs, websites, forums, online advertising, offline and more. And to do any of that effectively you're going to need WordPress knowledge, keyword research knowledge, e-mail marketing and writing skills, niche research, search engine optimization, web hosting with C-Panel, redirection, html... the list goes on and on. 

Forget it!

It will take you months or years to learn to a point where you make a living. And I can tell you after years of trial and error, there are many, many traffic methods like these that are a complete waste of time. 

Take for instance, black hat methods. Every single one of these dubious promotional tools will get you into trouble. The problem is, no one ever tells you that. And you're left wondering why you are constantly losing the battle. 

Even moderately effective programs like SENuke don't work for the majority of people. Just take a look at their public forum and you'll see that only a tiny fraction of the people who use that program are getting any sort of results. 

And every day they risk losing all the hard work they've put in when their strategy is discovered and sandbagged. 

I'm also a member of a Black Hat website, just for the experience and to see what to avoid. Day after day the forum posts reveal one strategy after another failing - being combated by the search engines. A BH'er can be wildly successful for a short time (and getting shorter), then all their hard work goes down the drain. 

That's not a basis for a sustainable business. And the opportunity loss is massive... you can be blacklisted and never know how to get back.

You can shortcut all that and just concentrate on one hugely productive method - article writing for directories. 

An article gets archived and lasts forever. It gives valuable information that can be used by others, and the concept has never been slapped by Google. I won't even bother listing the advantages of article marketing over any other form of marketing or promotion... the fact remains it is an initially slow but eventually extremely lucrative way to get visitors to your affiliate link. Coincidentally - just how Google likes it!

Do just 3 easy steps:

Daily:
#1. Write 5 articles on any subject, 400 words in length.
#2. Add your cloaked affiliate link at the bottom.
#3. Send the articles to Ezine Articles.

Rinse and repeat.

What's the barrier? For most people it is the writing. if you are not a natural writer, you'll find this hard. But it takes very little practice to increase your skills to a point where you can write effectively and with speed. That's true... it will take not more than a few weeks for you to get into the swing of things, and you'll be on your way.

New Banner No.13


I've added an exciting new banner at the Lotto Affiliate Center... No.13.

It's a big swing away in design from the other banners. As a 160x600 (skyscraper) it dominates the page, and if you get a high position I think you'll get great results from the unique look.

All you have to do is insert the line of HTML code in the web page code, and the banner will appear automatically. Make sure you have first placed your ClickBank ID at the top of the Lotto Affiliate Center (Automatic Affiliate Link Insertion), then your affiliate link will be automatically inserted into the code.

Banners are good if you have your own website, blog or forum. You can also request other webmasters to place it on their web pages.
