In Dec 2008 elotto added the Spanish lotto to it’s product range, affording participants globally a vastly bettered chance of partaking in this massive Spanish lottery prize fund.

If its the first time you have come across the Spanish Lottery, allow me to highlight just how all-important this lotto is to the wide majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lottery has been a public obsession in Spain for a very long time with tremendous interest generated by the Christmas lottery draw each year. It’s a fact that 98 per cent of the population play this Spanish National lotto each and every Christmas.

There are a few primary sound reasons why lots of Spanish subjects join in the Christmas El Gordo draw.

First Of All, on that point is the inducement of the biggest lottery prize fund of any international lotto game – with over 2 Billion Euros! Second, there are in excess of 13,000 cash prizes to be won. Finally, the chance of accumulating a cash prize on the Christmas lotto draw are a extremely feasible – 1 : 6.

With the amount of interest thats dedicated to the Christmas Elgordo lotto draw, lots of individuals are oblivious that there are 5 additional Spanish Lotto draws every year too. These games occur on November, March, May, July and January. Despite the fact that these 5 games do not feature the enormous prize fund of the Christmas lottery draw, they are sizable however, ranging from seventy eight million Euros to six hundred & sixty six million Euros. Plus, these lottery games offer nearly three times as many prizes as the Christmas lotto draw and betting odds of collecting a cash prize of an impressive 1 : 3.

The Christmas Spanish lottery works in a different way to nearly all other worldwide drawings. A whole ticket ‘billete’ is very expensive, costing two hundred Euros. However, these tickets are divided up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing twenty Euros each.

When buying your lotto tickets you have the option of buying 1 decimo, a complete lottery ticket, or a share of a lotto ticket. If you don’t buy the full ticket, someone else will buy the remainder of your lotto ticket. For Instance, when you buy 2 decimos, someone else buys three decimos and someone else purchases five and your lottery ticket wins 1000 Euros, then you will collect two hundred Euros, 300 Euros and five hundred Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of purchasing an entire lottery ticket, it is not uncommon for households and acquaintances to united their lottery money and all purchase a separate ‘decimo’ 10th.

As a follow up to my previous article on the WRONG way to write articles (see link at the end), this article shows you the RIGHT way to write articles.

As you no doubt already know, writing articles is probably the most effective way to promote your web site – by writing your article in the RIGHT way, you maximize the results you can achieve from your article submissions. With your article published on heaps of web sites, and in several ezines, it’s enough to set your traffic counter spinning.

So, presuming you have read the previous article, and that you don’t give the publishers something they do not want, you are on the right track – they will look at your article, and they may publish it. But how can you further maximize both your chances of publication, and the results you can then achieve once it is published?

1. Provide A Link To Your Web Site In Your Resource Box

This point is, for some reason, strangely missed by some article writers – without a link to your site in your resource box, you are unlikely to get much benefit from your published article.

Just writing your name, or your company name, in your resource box may bring some name or brand recognition over time, but you will be missing out on the major benefits that article submissions can bring you.

What you need is to provide a full link to your web site that interested readers of the article can click on – this will bring targeted traffic direct to your web site. It doesn’t mean you need to include any HTML (generally, never include HTML in your articles), you just need the URL, or web address, of your web site, starting with ‘http://’ – publishers will turn that into a proper link when your article is published on web sites, and in text-based emails, it will automatically turn into a clickable link in the vast majority of email-reading software such as Outlook.

It’s also a good idea not to add a full stop to the end of your link – occasionally this can make the URL inactive if your article is sent via email, or it is published on a web site that auto-publishes articles.

I’ve also found it is best just to include the one link in your resource box. Many publishers don’t like more than one, and if you do get published, more than one link can confuse the readership simply by giving them too many choices – and so diminish the amount of targeted traffic you can then receive.

2. Use The Resource Box To Promote Your Site

This doesn’t mean you should overly-hype your resource box, or laden it with advert-speak, but you do want people to click through, don’t you? Tell them clearly and succinctly, and without hype, how your site will benefit them if they click through, and then tell them to click through.

3. Make Your Article Original, Factual And Informative

Publishers are generally looking for informative, factual articles that will interest and benefit their readership through the information it shares.

They are also looking for originality, and will likely sift through articles containing the same old topics to find an article that contains a certain spark of original thought. Remember, they are looking for high quality articles that will stimulate their readership – if you can’t provide that, they won’t publish your article.

Can you provide a new slant on an old topic; some new timely and relevant information; a twist on an accepted concept? Is your article thought-provoking, or just churning out the same old, same old?

4. Treat Your Article Title As A Headline

In the same way that a headline on a sales page is crucial for your conversion rate, and the subject of an email has a huge effect on the open rate, the title of your article is critically important if you want publishers to publish it, and people to read it and from there follow through to your site.

Make your title interesting and enticing, and your results will improve dramatically. For example, ‘The Top Ten Little-Known Ways To Improve Your Online Sales’, will achieve much better results than ‘Improving Online Sales’.

Often a good approach to article writing is to start with the headline first, and once you’ve got that right, write the article to fit the headline.

5. Write It, Then RIGHT It

An article will often vastly improve if you leave it alone a while after the first draft. Go back to it after at least a day or two, and read through it – you will be amazed at how much you can improve it.

Apart from spotting spelling mistakes, you will likely notice parts of the article that do not read well and that you can improve. Spending a few minutes doing this will vastly increase the likelihood of your article being published, and improve your results immeasurably.

By following these tips, you can turn an average quality article into one of high quality that publishers will be eager to publish, and that readers will enjoy reading – the end result for you is a marked improvement in the levels of targeted traffic that your article attracts to your web site.

This post is from our recent trip to Waikiki. Ive got to say, if you ever have the opportunity to make it to Oahu, you should definitely take the offer. It has to be one of the most stunning places in the United States. What a blessing it is to have such a marvelous location in our nation.

The hospitality there is astounding. We took a surfing lesson, rode a canoe, watched a few hula shows and even had a chance to try out some bona fide Hawaiian food at a luau. They say ono out there, it means delicious. The Kalua Pig is to die for and be sure to stop by for a lava flow drink at Dukes. Its a little spot on Waikiki beach, great for an evening cocktail. One of the most unforgettable aspects was when we treated ourselves to a massage in Honolulu. It was spectacular, super relaxing and well deserved after a hard years work.

Oahu is exceptional. Don’t concentrate that you won’t do it all, because you can’t. Figure out what is most important to you and focus on that. Take time to relax and enjoy just being there. Needless to say, we will be going back as soon as possible.

The British government has announced the final recovery project to support the stability of the financial system, to raise confidence. The new financial bailout contains a cover to help the banking system from future future debts. The UK banks will pay for the insurance policy, full stop. However all this means the daily cost of living will fall, deflation will increase saving and may diminish Great Britain’s financial situation.

House market continued to descend fast, with the market leader, Halifax, reporting a sixteen per cent year per year fall in the 3 months to December 2008. Market prices have already fallen 20 per cent from their peak in 2007 and further declines are to be expected as approvals for home loans have hit a record low, as reported by data.

The number of job seekers surged past one million in last year, climbing at a fast rate since last recession. The recession has led to lots of job cuts in many different market areas, with some forecasts of 3 million unemployed by the end of 2010. Lots of High Street stores have gone out of business in the recent weeks. Shops have been reducing retail prices to to make sure they paid last year debts.

The government financial policy plans of British Prime Minister are mainly concentrated on recovering the economy crisis and do nothing to the currency. As a result the pound will probably continue to go down. We may be seeing record lows against the Euro but forecasts for pound is negative. Searching for a foreign currency exchange specialist – check out the Foreign Currency Direct website.

Recent stats amongst analysts showed an 80% chance the CBE will reduce interest rates to 1.25 points from today’s 2 points, dragging the central bank interest rate to the lowest since founded.

This means less profits for investors who then invest abroad, thus causing a decline in the value of Sterling.

Policymakers have stated the central bank may eventually have to cut bank interest rates to zero and opt to quantitative easing, basically printing more money to buoy the economic crisis. This seems to tie in nicely with Gordon Brown’s plans of trying their way out of the recession problem, which is the opposite of most European governments attitude, hence a possible cause for the big drop in Pound against to the Euro and American Dollar.

Why should you backup your data on the Internet?

There are several reasons.

* The backup is located at a secure place for away from your computer.

* It’s is easy to do.
* Free available disk space on your web site can be used for storage.
* Disk space on remote server can be used for storage.

* It’s a practical backup solution for small businesses and home users.

* It’s gives extra security for documents and files.

There are basically three different types of data backup you can make!

* Full Backup of the hard disk.
* Full disk image backup for fast recovery.
* Backup of specific files and folders.

Online backup of a complete hard disk is not practical to do. Although, it can be done. The size requirement and the transfer speed over the Internet makes it yet not powerful enough to do. However in the future complete backup of hard disks online will be more common. Backup over the Internet is best suited for storing limited numbers of specific files and folders.

To do this you need an FTP software which makes it possible to move files over the internet. FTP stand for “file transfer protocol” and is the most commonly used method of transferring files between computers over the Internet.

Use FTP transfer and backup to your web site or to a remote server as a safeguard of your vital data files!

Learn how at http://www.data-backup-and-storage.com/ftp-backup.html

Normally you don’t need to backup all the content of your hard disk, to recreate your data.

To be able to make a full recovery of your data, make sure that you keep CD’s of all your installation programs and operating system in a safe place. In addition, if you have installed software from the Internet you need to keep copies of the installation programs as backup together with the installation codes.

After you have done that, you need to identify the files and folders that are important to backup.

These are the files you use on a daily basis either in private or in your business. If you are using Windows this can be files in My Document folder and/or your Outlook email files.

These are the files you need to backup so that you can recreate your computer back to what it was if you have lost your data.

If you transfer files from your hard disk directly to the remote site you risk exposing your data to hackers. Your data are not secure from outside preying eyes.

To get full protection you should use a backup software to first create a backup file which is stored temporarily on you hard drive. This file is then transferred with an FTP program to the online server.

There are also a number of online backup services you can subscribe to for this purpose. They often use their own transfer protocol.

Online backups should be made at regular intervals. It is also a practical way to make backup if you use a laptop and are on the move, given you have access to an Internet connection, of course.

If you get a hard disk crash or if your computer gets lost, then you need to be able to recover your data back to what it was

The first step you have to take is to install the operation system and the software from the installation CD’s which you have stored in a safe place.
Next step is to download the backup or backups you are keeping on the Internet.

If you store your backup on a web site or on a server you should make sure that the backup is encrypted so that nobody else is able to read it.

You must keep the server’s username and password you are using as well as the password you use for encryption of the backup written down on paper in a safe place so that you can recreate your data.

Full backup can be made using other types of media such as tapes, DVD’s, on different disks or on networks.

To do this you need to have access to such devices.

This will cost you money.

The memory requirement for today’s computers has increased. The cost of regular backup on tapes or on DVD’s is high.

If you are an entrepreneur or a home computer user, this may not be an option available for you.

What happens if your computer gets stolen?

What happen if the building you keep your computer are struck by fire and destroyed?

Laptop and mobile computer are especially prone to theft. Not only because it is easy to carry away, but also because it is easy to get money by selling.

Therefore, you need to make backup of your important data on a location that is different from where you have your computer. Internet backup of data files is an attractive and cheap solution.

Per Strandberg has interest in backup technology and he is running an information site on backup and data security at http://www.data-backup-and-storage.com

Here’s a proven, and truly easy way to start increasing your sales, immediately.

All you need to do is add these 2 words to your selling system, and you’re good to go.

In fact, this trick’s so good, I wish I could take credit for coming up with it, but the truth is, it comes from a little-known marketing legend.

Here’s the deal:

In 1947, Elmer Wheeler was one of the best-known salesmen of his time. His “Wheeler Institute of Words” developed a “best practices” of selling, by testing a variety of words in over 19 million selling situations.

I’m right in the middle of reading one of Elmer’s most famous books, “Tested Sentences That Sell”.

And here’s a great little selling trick that comes straight out of this book:

Ever go into a restaurant and order a drink?

Of course you have.

And what does your server usually ask you, right after you place your order?

They usually say “Small or large?”, right?

Well, imagine for a moment… you’re the owner of this restaurant.

Do you have any idea how much your sales would increase over time, if… instead of saying “Small or large?” after your customers ordered their drinks … you told your servers to instead, say…

“Large one?”

Let me take the guess-work out of this and make your job easier for you.

Elmer Wheeler tested this experiment out in five-thousand separate selling situations. And the results showed, when your server asked “Large one?”…

7 out of every 10 people, answered “Yes!”

So, let’s say a large soda costs you 35 more than a small soda — are you with me on this? This means, by saying “Large one?”… 7 out of every 10 customers that walk through your door, end up giving you an extra 35 cents!

Now you may be thinking, “So what?… It’s only 35 cents.”

A-h-h-h, but remember….

Little Hinges Swing Big Doors Open!

Follow me here for a minute: If you’ve got 5 servers… and each of them does this with 100 customers a day, this means each of them will be serving large sodas to an extra 70 people a day.

That’s an extra 350 large soda sales a day. (5 servers x 70 large sodas each).

350 extra sales, at 35 each, is $122.50 a day in extra gross sales for you… which translates into $857.50 extra a week, and over 52 weeks, this turns into…

$44,590 Dollars A Year… With ZERO Extra Marketing Costs Involved!

Not bad, hey?

And if your large sodas cost 50 more than your small sodas, in that case, your annual bump in gross sales would be $63,700 Dollars!

70 more? O.K., that one’s easy — just double the 35 figure — now you’re selling $89,180 Dollars more!

See how easy this stuff is?

It’s insane, isn’t it?

But what if you don’t have a restaurant?

How can you use this trick in your business?

Well, let’s say you own a photography store. When people are filling out their forms to get their pictures developed, instead of saying “Singles or doubles?”, you can say “Doubles?”.

If you own a landscaping company, instead of asking “Shrubs and lawn?”, you’d say “Whole yard?”

And if you’re a hairdresser, instead of asking “Cut and shampoo?”, you just say “Shampoo?”

Make sense?

When it comes down to it, the basic premise of this selling trick, is…

If You Don’t Ask… You Don’t Get!

But polishing your request up so it’s “benefit-oriented” to your prospect… makes this work smoothly… effectively… and without looking like you’re trying to “sell more”.

Notice how you’re not asking “Do you want a large soda?” — you’re just saying “Large one?”

See, you’ll have to experiment a little bit to find out what works best in your situation, but not you’ve at least got one helluva head start on things, no?

And can you think of any easier way to make this kind of extra money?

Elmer Wheeler really was a “selling genius” and you’ll pick up quite a bit from him.

And, from the excitement and enthusiasm he comes across with, you know he enjoyed his work.

Here are a few of Elmer’s famous quotes:

“Your first 10 words are more important than your next 10,000.”

“People seldom want to walk over you until you lie down.” And…

“Don’t sell the steak, sell the sizzle.” Unfortunately, Wheeler’s books are all out of print. You’ll find them showing up pretty consistently on e-bay though, and, you can also find some of them on www.abebooks.com or www.alibris.com.

Several of my readers asked me whatever happened to Joe Sugarman, who I mentioned in last week’s Tip, “What Never Ever To Say To Your Prospects…”.

Joe’s living on Maui now, and he publishes the Maui Weekly newspaper. He’s also still involved with Blu Blocker sunglasses, and I’m sure, a number of other things as well.
