My VWD Lottery Experience.

Well, the wonderful bank holiday is over and I enjoyed the extra sleep-in’s that I had! The weather is back to it’s old ways, typical English pattern - wet, dry, sunny, cloudy, windy …repeat

I’ve added some more functions to the landing page package, now there is an option for a browser to choose to subscribe to the autoresponder course (if it is installed) and for the affiliate to view how many subscribers there are from the back office and what their details are. I’ve also added a news items bit to the affiliate page for important announcements, all it does is read the RSS feed from The Empire Group blog and display the last 3 items posted.

I’m thinking of creating a “what to do now” autoresponder course that new affiliates can signup to so they can get off to a good start, ideally, it would be best to work that out over the phone but I’m trying to put together stuff that anyone can use (that means people who cannot pick up a phone!), me and Robby have talked about putting the 30 day plan into a manual that can be sent to new affiliates. Something to do next weekend then!

I’m still working on a newsletter package that can be part of the landing page package so an affiliate can add all their new contacts and email them monthly with company news, might have that as an optional extra along with a blog installation. Hmmm, what started off as a simple page has organically grown into a full featured site and it looks like the group have been using it well, there’s been an average of 1 new member coming in to the group every day now. Keep it up guys!!

A lot of members ask the same questions when they join, mainly, “How come I only get 5 numbers?” so I’ve put this video up which explains how one of our syndicates won over 170,000 GBP ($292,000 USD) this April.

15 Minute Business Presentation

I’ve been reading an article from here, it’s a site with a collection of articles on a wide range of subjects, there’s some real gems in there. The article linked mentions 3 things that a successful affiliate marketer needs. (found via here)

1. A Website.
   Obvious one this one but not just your affiliate website that VWD give you, having a blog is one great way to get yourself noticed by the search engines. My other blog has been going for a few months and already it has a Google rank of 2 and gets more hits from searchs than when I used AdWords!. This blog has only been going for less than a month but it’s already getting search results from
   • Google France for Euromillions results. Appears on the first page.
   • Google UK for VWD Lottery this site is listed as number 1!!

Creating your blog with a robust featured software such as WordPress takes care of things link pinging the major search engines, providing RSS feeds that bots can read and much more automatically.

2. Incentives
   Something for free like the Grab a Grand page, specialised advice like this article here. An opt-in mail list you can add to your page (one coming here soon) and free software products like ebooks or shareware products can help bring and keep visitors.
3. Link Popularity
   Try and link to relevant sites in your blog or webpage, see if you can get a link to your page on other peoples sites. Put your URL in absolutely every signature you use on forums, chat rooms or anywhere it’ll appear as a click-able HTML link. The article mentions using his site to get articles for your own blog, write your own and put them there and you already have a reciprocal link. I don’t usually frequent such sites as there’s a lot out there that is just drivel, it’s hard to find some good clean advice that isn’t drowning in “buy this” or “buy that” links.

well, I wanted to show you the article but it seems I’ve re-written it myself! I hope Larry doesn’t mind! he shouldn’t do I’ve put enough links to him here.
