Promoting Your Elottery Website

Both elottery players and elottery affiliates receive their own affiliate website when being in one of our syndicates. You can see an example here. The affiliate website is more comprehensive than a players website because it is for individuals who want to have their own work from home business. It includes amongst other things a geneaology program and group email facility to keep in contact with personally introduced members and a host of tools such as banners,squeeze pages with valuable information to help you promote your business. All good affiliate programs will have their own marketing tools for you to use.

Seasoned Internet marketers will already know the benefits of having their own personal website in addition to the one supplied by affiliate marketing companies. But for those of you who don’t I will share my experiences of why I believe you will get better results.

Most affiliate marketing companies do an extremely professional job of supplying a well designed, fully comprehensive and easy to navigate website of that there is no doubt. However with only a few exceptions most do not give a way to personalise your website.

That means that your affiliate site looks exactly the same as thousands of others, and except by extremely good fortune will not allow your website to rank well on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN amongst others, which could supply a whole lot of free traffic to your website, and we all need traffic to our websites if we are to continue to find new customers to grow our businesses.

You can still promote your company supplied affiliate website by word of mouth,online advertising,  banner ads and pay per click but we won’t go into that right now. You could use what is commonly referred to as a squeeze page, and whilst I don’t consider them the best option they are certainly a step in the right direction, and if done correctly will certainly add customers/members to your affiliate business.

So why exactlly do you need an additional website?

If you take a look at any website via  your browser and then goto view source you will see the text that makes up your webpage. It may look quite daunting at first glance , but you can see near the top of the page three important html tags.

<title> Keyword goes here </title>
<meta NAME="Keywords" Content="keyword sgo here">
<meta NAME="Description" Content="content description goes here">

You must be able to alter these meta tags along with body content if you are to have any chance at all of getting your website in a good position. This is by no means all that needs to be done, only to show you that you need to be able to change your personalised website to stand out from the rest.

Now here is an example with text inserted.

<title>Euromillions Lottery | Euromillions Results | UK Lotto</title>

<meta NAME=“Keywords” Content=“Euromillions Lottery, Euromillions Lottery Results”>

<meta NAME=“Description” Content=“Play the Euromillions lottery or the UK lotto with elottery”>

In this example keywords relating to the market I am promoting have been inserted, you would introduce keywords relating to your chosen market after you have done some keyword research( We’ll cover this at a later date)

In the body content you should see other important tags such as

<h1> </h1>

This is where you would include your keyword phrase and would differ on each page of your site. In our example we could use <h1> Euromillions Lottery</h1>

If you check  any number of websites you will see many where they omitted these tags altogether, and if they are in your niche market and ranked well, you should all other things being equal, be able to rank above them.

Generally when you get a company affiliate website you are unable to change meta tags and content, but if you want to take the first step towards ranking then you need to change these and the way to do that is by having your own personalised website.

These are just the first initial steps towards optimising your site and just a part of what is required, but by doing this you put yourself ahead of thousands of others that have not bothered.

What’s needed?

To start, the first three things you will need…………

• A domain name (These are cheap)
• Hosting (Somewhere to store your website information)
• Software to build your site (Plenty of choice, some software is free)

Go and do your own research, check out domain names that may be appropriate for your niche market. Find a couple of different hosting companies, see what they are offering and of course prices.

I will cover these  steps in more detail in the next post.

Building Affiliate Marketing Websites The Easy Way

Using websites to promote affiliate programs has now become an essential part of everyday marketing although it still remains a mystery to many people. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.

This is the first in a series of posts that will deal with building affiliate marketing websites, and although primarily I am promoting the Euromillions and  UK Lotto syndicates you can use the information for just about any affiliate progam.

There are many myths in affiliate marketing, which attract a lot of people into believing they are true. First is they think managing an online business is easy, and second they think that one can make a fortune through online marketing in an instant. Probably not even 10% of those who are into affiliate marketing became rich overnight. There may be some who fortunately achieved overwhelming success in just a short span of time after setting up an affiliate program, but anyone who is successful in this kind of business would say he worked hard to get to where he is right now. Success in affiliate marketing takes time and hard work, but it’s worth it.

If you are planning to start an affiliate program, one of the things you have to consider is having your own website, not just an ordinary website but a professional looking one. How do you build an affiliate marketing website? What are the easy steps to build one?

First, you need to decide on the theme or niche of your website. It would be better if you already have an idea what products or services to promote as this would help you plan the design and lay-out of your web pages. The next thing to do is to choose a domain name and get it hosted.

Search for a domain name

Powered by 123-reg.co.uk

The domain name is a unique name used to label the actual address of your website on the Internet.  In deciding what domain name to register, look into the type of products you are endorsing and the theme of your site. Having the right keywords in your domain name would give you better chances of drawing more visitors to your website. Also, choose a top level domain or extension, such as .com because it is more popular. In selecting your web host, consider the security of servers and up time guarantees.

Now, you can start creating your webpages, you will need software to help you with this. There are page generation tools and fast launch sites available online; you just have to search for them. Countless online sources can help you build an affiliate marketing website, though you might need time to study and learn the whole process. This is one of the reasons why your site or the products you are going to promote must match your interest. Building your marketing website for the first time would be a lot more fun if you know the theme of your site. If you don’t have time to make your own website, you can use templates or purchase readily available websites. The latter, however, is a more expensive option.

Creating an affiliate website on your own is cheaper and more interesting. In the process of building your website, you will also increase your knowledge in Information Technology and the use of computers, software and the Internet. As you educate yourself in these fields, you are increasing your advantage against other affiliate marketers. It helps  if you already know the basics in web page development  because you can make it business like, and more convenient to use  and navigate. Furthermore, if you are knowledgeable and skillful in this area, you can already concentrate more on the content of the page rather than the design.

The key to drawing visitors to your website is to have high quality content. There will be several other factors that contribute to the success of your affiliate marketing site, but good content tops the list. This is precisely the reason why users choose to enter your site in the first place

Write interesting articles related to your theme as this would make them frequent your site more often. If you have already looked for affiliate programs that complement your site, add links to other business sites and other very good informative sites. Links contribute to how well you will be listed in major search engines as well. Also, create pages for the products you are endorsing, but don’t just promote the products by putting hyped-up ads. Keep your readers interested by injecting lots of relevant and useful information.  Remember that no good content means no frequent visitors, no sales and ultimately, no commission.

Make your site simple yet not without a touch of class in order to make it appear more of a business website rather than a personal website. This is more pleasing to the eyes and more interesting to browse. To help you with the design, you can check some successful online stores to get an idea on how you can make your site look better. Make sure you don’t place too many banner ads since these could distract some site users; and  instead of clicking your ad, they might just leave your site and look for other interesting websites. After all, banner ads are not the only means of advertising your products. Now your website is complete, submit its URL to major search engines to increase your traffic.

Learn about the use of keywords for search engine optimisation and apply them in your content. Update your site regularly and add new webpages. Make sure to inform your prospects about the latest updates in your site. You can use newsletters to accomplish this if you wish. The Internet offers a huge source of information on just about anything, make use of it. Continue to educate yourself on how to improve your website and soon you’ll find yourself successful in affiliate marketing.

That’s it for now, don’t worry if hasn’t clicked yet I will go into detail on each aspect of website building and affiliate marketing in future posts………..

Business to business

Understanding the benefit of Business to Business opportunities

If you take a good look at the many business opportunities available today most will centralise around selling a product or service to other consumers. Whether you would offer memberships, benefit packages, residential services, health products, or any other number of customer-focused items, your target audience would most likely be consumers just like yourself. This area of marketing is called “B2C”, better known as “Business (that’s you) to Consumer (that’s who you want)”.

We’re going to focus on the other side of the street. The part of town that many opportunity seekers tend to forget about. B2B marketing, or “Business (remember, that’s you) to Business (that’s who you want)”, is a multi-billion dollar arena that is still virtually untapped by non-corporate business builders such as yourself.

Businesses have different motivations for buying than consumers. Consumers tend to be motivated emotionally…you need to make them happier, healthier, wealthier or more attractive. Businesses have a whole different mindset…they are motivated financially. Offer something that solves a problem, cuts costs, boosts profits, or just all around makes things easier, and you will have found a winner.

Keep in mind that we’re not talking about approaching companies like BT or Microsoft. You want small businesses, not conglomerates, when pursuing a B2B opportunity. You want businesses that don’t already have “departments” capable of handling what you’re selling and you don’t want companies with pockets deep enough to woo Madison Avenue.

For a sole entrepreneur to make B2B marketing successful, he or she needs to approach local businesses…the kind of shops that still treasure community spirit and understand the value of a customer. Show them how you can save them money, make them money, or boost customer loyalty without risk and they are all yours.

The overall point is this, don’t get caught up thinking that you have to sell to consumers to build a successful business. The B2B sector of the economy is booming, even more so with the advent of the Internet, and many opportunities for wealth abound. Only one question remains. Are you going to grab your slice of the pie?

Members of our elottery show local companies, charities and organisations how they can generate additional income by sharing the benefits of playing in a Euromillions or UK Lotto syndicate. Of course you can use this approach with many affiliate and networkmarketing programs. Try it I think you will be surprised  by the results!

How To Make Money Online

How many times have you wished you could make money online? It seems there are many people who are extremely succesful in their online endeavours. Maybe it’s because it appears too difficult to know where to start or maybe it’s a lack of knowledge or understanding that prevents many people from even getting started

These are just minor hurdles to overcome and should not stop anyone from making money online. There are so many different options available and the World is the market, there are no more constraints to marketing to  a Global audience.

The safest way and easiest way is through affiliate marketing, with companies that offer products or services and manage all the mundane work for you. Even better is if they also supply  you your own website as well.

Everyone will need to take stock during the coming months as the World Global economy continues it’s shakeout. Making money online with an affiliate program means that business costs are reduced to an absolute minimum in many cases to just a few pounds.

You see it doesn’t matter how much money major companies throw at their businesses it still does not guarantee success and for the poor employee it means trying to find a new job/career and start all over again.

2009 is here, are you be ready for a new challenge?

There are plenty of affiliate companies to choose from, and it’s up to you which ones you choose to go with. Of course I am bias as I have been with same company vwd since 2002, but as I run it on a part time basis it doesn’t stop me from pursuing other money making opportunities should they arise.

Over a period of time multiple streams of income can be produced, it just requires some thought and effort.
