e-lottery Affiliates

Congratulations to Independent Affiliates Roger and Paula Galloway, who reached the dizzy heights of Executive Coordinators last cycle. Here’s what they had to say to everyone else out there who aspires to reach this level:

“We were very excited about reaching the Executive Coordinator level and receiving the GRS bonus. Above all you have to help others reach their next levels, so it is a real TEAM effort, and not an individual one. So ‘take your eyes off yourself and focus on your team’. The GRS income was well received and definitely put smiles on our faces. Put the effort in and see if it puts a smile on yours!”

Well done to Roger and Paula, and to all of the other Executive Coordinators out there. So, for those of you who have not yet had a taste of GRS, how can you too qualify to the Executive Coordinator level? Well, you will need to achieve Active Status, and maintain £600 of volume from the subscriptions paid by your Personally Sponsored Players and Personally Sponsored Active Affiliates. This amount of volume only actually means having 15 Personally Sponsored Players playing in both the UK Lotto and EuroMillions draws. You will also need to have two qualified Executive Affiliates in separate legs of your downline, within your first 7 levels.

So, what will you get? You will earn 20% of the subscriptions received from your level 1, and 5% commission from your level 2 down to level 7. You will also earn a share of “Global Revenue Share”, which at this level is a massive 20%.

This really is the position to aim for – many of the most successful and well known e-lottery Affiliates are at this position. Why not make that extra push and join them?

The Inital Steps In Building Your Affiliate Website

In the last post I suggested the first steps to be taken were to find your niche market, search for a domain name ( if you can use words in the domain name that reflect your niche it could add a few Brownie points and it will be obvious to someone searching the Internet what your site has to offer). Find a good webhosting company, and to utilise a software program to give you a professional looking website.

So…

• Your Niche (In my case elottery)
• Domain Name (I use 123-reg.co.uk but there are numerous others you could choose from)
• Hosting Company ( I use 34sp in the UK and Dataweb in the USA. Just find and use a reputable one)
• Website Software (Here again there is large choice and I have listed several below)

We will asume at this point you have now chosen our niche market,chosen a domain name and have found a reputable hosting company. Depending on how long you intend taking to build your website you may wish to design your site before setting up a hosting package.

So let’s look at a number of different web design programs. I will only go over ones that I have used or am currently using.

In no particular order……

• Macromedia (Quite Expensive and wouldn’t advise for a first time user)
• Secret Money Generator (Builds sites quickly but operates in select markets)
• Traffic Hurricane (Builds sites quickly but operates in select markets)
• XsitePro (Versatile, inexpensive, easy to use)
• Bans (Builds Sites Quickly, inexpensive, currently only works with ebay affiliate program)
• PhpBay (Builds Sites Quickly, inexpensive, currently only works with ebay affiliate program)
• Wordpress (Free,extremely versatile, a good choice)
• MemberSpeed (On the expensive side compared with some but extremely versatile, suit any business)
• Website Content Wizard (Inexpensive, a great tool for adding content)
• Website Article Wizard (Combines with Website Content Wizard, can be used to build and unlimited number of Google Adsense Sites in Seconds)

Each of the above software programs have their place in the market, but for our purpose of building affiliate websites I would choose from the following.

1. Wordpress (This is free to use, you pay extra for unique tempates although plenty of free ones available)
2. XsitePro (Inexpensive and this is probably a little easier to use)
3. Website Article Wizard (Inexpensive and relatively easy to use. They did have an offer running, may still be available)

If you intend marketing ebay then Bans and or PhpBay is the way to go. Memberspeed Content Management system is at the top end of website development software. It has numerous professional templates and plugins for almost any situation. Plugins for autoresponders, articles,video, audios, products, press release, shopping cart, coupons, one time offers, the list goes on and on. You have to read about it to discover everything that is possible. It is ideal for experienced webmasters or someone wishing to become one.(Not a good choice for a beginner and a bit of an overkill for marketing affiliate programs alone).

If you want to test the water before lashing out that hard earned cash I would give Wordpress a go, as I said it’s free and there is a tremendous amount of help readily available. If you want to something a little easier to use to start then my choice would be XsitePro.

Depending on what Market I am working in and how I intend to make an income will ultimately determine the software I use from the list above. Happy hunting…………..

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.

Residual Affiliate Programs

Are you a webmaster in need of additional income?  Or are you planning to set up an online business but you still don’t have any product to sell?  If so, affiliate marketing may be the best solution for your problems.  With affiliate marketing, you won’t need to worry about the products you have to sell.  All you need to have is a website with sufficient content related to products of a company offering affiliate programs.  By becoming a member of the program, or by becoming an affiliate, you can start earning  money right away.

Affiliate marketing is a business relationship established between a merchant and his affiliates.  In affiliate marketing, an affiliate agrees to direct some traffic to a merchant’s website.  If that traffic is converted, such as a visitor purchasing a product on the merchant’s website or a visitor becoming a lead for the company, the affiliate who directed the traffic will be compensated.  Compensation may take the form of either a percentage sales commission for the sales generated or a fixed fee predetermined upon the application of the affiliate on the merchant’s affiliate program.

Promising a lot of benefits both for the merchants and the affiliates, affiliate marketing has become one of the most popular online marketing methods today.  In fact, almost every merchant or retailer site today offers an affiliate program that any one can join into.  Most retailers would entice people to become affiliates or members of their program by promising great benefits like large commissions, lifetime commissions, click through incomes and a lot of other benefits.  But would all these affiliate programs bring off the same benefits?

Most affiliate programs would pay you, as an affiliate, a one-time commission for every sale or lead you brought to the merchant’s website.  Commissions for this kind of affiliate programs are usually large, ranging from 15% to a high of about 60%.  Other affiliate programs would pay you a fixed fee for every click through or traffic you send to the merchant’s site.  Programs like this often pay a smaller fee for every click through, usually not getting any larger than half a dollar.  The good thing about this kind of program, however, is that the visitor won’t have to purchase anything in order for the affiliate to get compensated.

Another type of affiliate program is the residual income affiliate program.  Residual affiliate programs usually pay only a small percentage of sales commission for every sale directed by the affiliate to the merchant’s site.  This commission often comes only in the range of 10% to 20% sales commission.  Because of this, many people ignore residual affiliate program and would rather opt for the high paying one-time commission affiliate program.  Are these people making a mistake, or are they making the right decision?

We can’t tell, for sure, if people are making a mistake by choosing a high paying one-time commission affiliate program.  But we can definitely say that they are making a large mistake if they ignore residual affiliate programs.  Residual affiliate programs would indeed pay at a lower rate, but merchants offering such kind of programs would generally pay you regular and ongoing commissions for a single affiliate initiated sale.  That means, for the same effort you made in promoting a particular affiliate program, you get paid only once in a one-time commission program, and a regular and ongoing commission for a residual program.

So, are residual affiliate programs worth promoting?  Definitely yes, because you get more money from these types of affiliate programs in the long run.

Benefits of Being an Affiliate Marketer

Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to advertise online. It is also one of the easiest ways for anyone with a website to make a profit online. Affiliate Marketing is an agreement between a merchant and a website owner. The website owner, or the affiliate, allows the use of their site for the promotion of the merchant’s products by linking to the merchant’s website. In exchange, the merchant pays a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate. Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and proceeds to make a purchase, the affiliate gets a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a customer clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.

Affiliate marketing programs are described as a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate because of the pay-for-performance scheme. Both the merchant and the affiliate enjoy some benefits in affiliate marketing. There are many benefits on the merchant’s side. It gives the merchant a wider market in which to advertise a product or service. Affiliate marketing will give the product or service the maximum exposure that it may not get with other traditional advertising techniques. The more affiliate sites a merchant has, the higher the traffic, which can convert to sales. Affiliate marketing is the equivalent of having an army of sales people who will do the advertising and will only get a commission if a customer purchases.

Meanwhile, since an affiliate marketing relationship is a win-win situation, the affiliate also enjoys many benefits. Foremost among these is the easy way to make a profit. The affiliate can earn by having an ad or link to the merchant’s website, which prospective customers will hopefully click and proceed to make a purchase. As soon as the customer clicks on the ad on the affiliate’s site, is redirected to the merchant’s website and goes on to buy that particular product, the affiliate earns a commission. The more referrals there are the more profit for the affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to earn money while at home. There are virtually no production costs. The product is already developed and proven by the merchant, and all you have to do to find, as many prospects as you can that will bring in the profit for both the merchant and the affiliate. Affiliate programs are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs. There are thousands of products and services you can choose from. You can find affiliate programs for every product under the sun. Surely, there is a product or service out there that is relevant to your website.

In addition, there is absolutely no sales experience necessary. Most affiliate programs offer excellent support when it comes to providing marketing material. The simplicity of affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer at the least cost and the most comfort. You can even build a successful affiliate marketing business right in the convenience of your own home. In affiliate marketing, your responsibility is simply to find prospects for the merchant; you do not have to worry about inventory, order processing, and product shipping. These, along with customer service support are the duties of the merchant.

Because of the global reach of the internet, you can easily find thousands of prospects. You can intensify your advertising campaign by exploiting more aggressive and productive strategies such as viral marketing. By attracting more prospects, you also maximise your potential to earn. Another benefit of an affiliate marketer is the minimal risk involved. If the product you are advertising is not making money then you can dump it and choose another. There are no long-term binding contracts tying you to products that are not making enough money.

All the same, the best benefit of being an affiliate marketer is the opportunity to increase your income; and you can make a profit even if affiliate marketing is only a sideline business. With your own affiliate business, you can earn easily earn extra income, although you do have to exert effort and use your imagination to maximise your earning potential. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the simplest and most effective business opportunities on the web today.

You may not be aware that many well known companies use this method of marketing including companies such as eBay, BT, VWD. Then there are companies like ie42 who offer an affiliate program and have many brand names  on tap and Clickbank who offer software and digital ebooks.  Of course there is still work to be done, but the upside is that it is a whole lot cheaper than starting a traditional business or franchise and you can choose to work the hours that suit you. Almost everything that you purchase be it a product or service, there is a company that will offer an affiliate program.

El Gordo

Affiliate news………..

We are absolutely delighted by how popular our El Gordo syndicates have been. Within the first few days, we had already sold out of our first allocation of tickets, so we bought a further 2 allocations to be sold to your Prospects. And guess what? The second allocation has also SOLD OUT, and the third allocation’s spaces are going FAST!

Because of how El Gordo works, there are a set number of tickets produced and once they are all sold, no more can be created. We have been extremely lucky as we have been able to purchase more tickets to be sold on, but we can’t do this again – the whole of El Gordo is rapidly selling out, not just our e-lottery syndicate spaces.

Make sure your Prospects are the ones to snap up those last few syndicate spaces, and make sure that it is your commissions that grow! Get promoting and get Active – you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t.

To get Active in the El Gordo draw, all you need is to have £40 of El Gordo subscription volume, from two different Players. One of these Players can be you, so why not kill two birds with one stone and enter the El Gordo draw. Make this a Christmas to remember:  boost your commissions, and boost your winnings with El Gordo syndicates!
