Slow Figures...The Ultimate Affiliate Secret


This week I'd like to talk more about how to improve your affiliate business.

Most of us are attracted by 'fast figures' sales generation we see everywhere. These are the amazing amounts of sales produced by some affiliates in just a matter of hours or days. I'm sure you'll remember the $10,000 achieved by one Silver Lotto affiliate last month, and they got this in just 5 days.

It can be done.

But this fast figures method requires some pre-building, and sometimes it takes months or years to acquire a large enough mailing list. Success in this way usually means the affiliate has not only built a large mailing list, but also has the reputation and authority to promote whatever product they review.

Sometimes a large mailing list will be productive for very similar products. For example, a poker playing mailing list might attract a higher number of lottery players. 

But not always. A large list can often generate sales from a completely unrelated market - if it's presented properly by the list owner.

Another form of fast figures involves PPC... pay per click advertising. Unfortunately Google prohibits the lottery and gambling sector from using PPC ads. I can never figure out why, since there are a greater number of scams and rorts in the weight-loss sector. But you can't go against the big guys who hold all the cards. 

And then there's the Blackhat methods. Stay away from all of these... it's been proven time and time again that long-term use of black hat traffic generation will ultimately cause you to fail, and maybe get you banned for life from the search engines. I'm not talking about the obvious spamming issues, but high-energy backlinking, robot blogs and a heap of other stuff that may seem OK, but will ultimately trip you up and cause you a lot more work and worry.

So now we look at the slow figure methods. Many of these you can see at my Lotto Affiliate Center. They are effective, low-cost, and best of all, give you excellent long-term traffic.

There are many you can use there, starting with the three-star promotions. But the most effective method... one that has been proven time and time again to bring results... is article marketing. Yes, even today it is hugely effective, and I have no doubt it will always stay that way.

One of the major advantages is that an article - rather like a blog post (same thing almost) - remains in the search engine's brain for years at a time. So if you get an article published in a high ranking article directory like Ezine Articles, it will keep profiting for you over many years.

This is the main structure for the Lotto Code.

In the meantime, you'll never go wrong by following the articles section at the Lotto Affiliate Center: http://www.lottoaffiliatecenter.com, and starting now, regardless. Every article you produce will always produce results... you can never lose by doing it.

As always, I want you to make a huge amount of in-pocket cash from my products that keeps on flowing. If you need any advice or help at all, email me at this newsletter address and I'll answer you as quickly as I can.

And don't forget, you'll also never go wrong with your own website: www.freelottobook.com.








Happy Selling!
