Default Does anybody actually do well out of these things

Hi
I have been trying to recruit members for my lottery programs for several months now.
But I havnt got 1 member. I spend several hours a day trying to promote it on websites and news groupls, free adverts. Time spent on the websites and although I seem to be getting alot of hits nobody signs up.
I have always thought of these things as cams and this isnt doing much to change my mind.

My websites are

http://www.paid4lotto.net

http://www.mark-walker.uk.com

Other people such as my uplines keep saying how well they are doing - Are they making it up or am I just born unlucky or something.

Thanks
Mark

Using the methods that you describe (promoting it on websites and on newsgroups) doesn't always work because it's typically seen as self-promotion or spam.

What you need to do is spend time promoting your program the same way you would promote a product or service, which is through search engine optimization and getting links to your site.

Start with a "landing page" or a few pages on your site that describe your program and give reasons why someone should sign up for your program. Then, optimize the page(s) for the search engines so that they target terms that people search for when thinking of signing up for a lottery program. You can use the available free keyword research tools find keywords, such as the Overture suggestion tool.

Rather than spending time promoting your program, spend time getting links to your page. There are also many affiliate program directories out there that will list you, as well (most are free).

Mark sound like there are MLM as opposed to affiliate programs. In MLM the people on top are mainly the ones to make the money. Your site could use lots of improvement in order to gain credibility. Ask your "upline" for some suggestions.

Thanks for the advice I will give it a go.
Nobody answered whether it actually works or not so I still have my doubts.

Thanks
