August Update News, And Your Affiliate Questions Answered


A quick heads-up on some question you've been asking. But first, two things of interest...

Right now I'm watching my ClickBank sales counter tick upwards - almost like the second hand of a clock - for several of my affiliates who are promoting my products at the moment. And one has received almost $3,000 'in pocket' commission - in just a few hours.

Congratulations... that sure beats working!

And a pat on the back for those of you who are building traffic for the Silver Lotto System site. In just a few short weeks we've gone from around 187,000 global ranking in Alexa.com to 107,728 today. Our USA rank is just under 75,000. 

We're now in the top percentage of several billion websites! This rapid climb in ranking is good news because it means more eyes on our website, and ultimately more sales and commission for you because of the increased exposure.

My aim is to get ranked under 10,000 global by the end of the year, and when that happens there will be a lot of very successful affiliates - maybe including you. Stay with us for the ride!

Now to your questions:


Q: Ken, what's the story on the Silver Lotto System order page exit popup?

A: I introduced that about a month ago as a test. This secret weapon is triggered to react when the order page sale is lost and the prospect clicks away or tries to close the page. So far, the results has been amazing... between 25% and 50% and more of all lost sales have been recovered through this method. 

At the moment the motivating appeal is a lower price for the Silver Lotto System, but I'll be soon testing the full price in installments as an alternative. So don't be discouraged at a slightly lower payout right now... it's actually 'found money' that you wouldn't have normally received, and you are likely to make that up on the other commissionable products the purchaser can buy from your cookie. The exit popup will certainly be a big part of any promotion I do from now on.


Q: Ken, I notice you don't give a commission for Lotto-80 when the prospect clicks on the exit popup "No Thanks" link. Will you be giving one soon?

A: At the moment the Lotto-80 product doesn't carry a commission because at $7.80 a month the price is too low for anyone to make a decent profit. However, I'll shortly be testing $19 a month recurring, and that will be a ClickBank continuity too. Right now it's a delicate balance between price and appeal, and I have some testing still to finish before that happens.


Q: Ken, I see a post in the Silver Sellers blog for the Lotto Code - what's this about?

A: The Lotto Code is my exciting upcoming manual that covers the complete method for dedicated affiliates to earn up to $1 million a year in commissions from Silver Lotto products. When I say "dedicated" that means you are going to have to put some hours in... but if you follow my instructions there is every chance you can succeed. It's the same system that I use right now, but on a larger scale for maximum effectiveness. I expect to finish the Lotto Code by the end of the month.


Q: Ken, you charge for some of your affiliate tools when some other product owners don't. Why is that?

A: I believe in a commitment cost. It's the higher value people give to something they've paid for versus something that's been given free. Most people will give more commitment to something they have paid for. A lot of my tools are both free and valuable, but I put a fair price on the ones that make the most difference. In a practical sense, some tools like the websites have ongoing costs which still need to be paid for - even when the affiliate doesn't put any work in. I don't like carrying losses!


Q: Anything new happening at the Lotto Affiliate Center?

A: Yes, I'm constantly adding more on this site to improve your commission hit rate. The latest addition is a new version of the Lotto Mini-Website. If you're just starting out you should buy one of these sites - it's the perfect way to direct traffic from your forum posts, blog comments and mailing lists. The new design seems to be getting more traffic and increasing sales overall.
