No, this is NOT spam. Read on to find out why. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hi Friend, Ken Silver here. Got a niggling query about me? Want to know more about me personally, or my Honest Lotto System? If you haven't bought from me yet (or even if you have - thank you!) you might be very interested in what I have to say here. I'm revealing a few secrets about both me and my System... the sort of background information I'll generally never talk about unless pressed. Some questions here are ones I get asked often. Others are those I think you would ask me - except you're too polite! Some are really surprising. Let's go: *** Ken, what's an intelligent person like you selling a lotto system fergoodnesssake? Thanks for the 'intelligent' compliment! Personal challenge is the main answer. The other answer is People and Profit. One rubs the other. Fact is, I'm commercially motivated. When I look at any project, I automatically try to figure out how I might benefit from it financially. Don't get me wrong, profit is not my first objective.... the First Rule of Business is to ensure a good product gives a real benefit for the buyer. That's very true with the Honest Lotto System which has a huge advantage for all lotto players. That genuine quality means I can sleep at night knowing I'm giving you the best product I can. OK, enough of the advert... *** You write too much Ken! I can't read it all and still have time for dinner. Why don't you shorten it down? I'll let you into a secret. The best marketers ALWAYS give you more information than you need. That's why they're at the top. It works like this: What product would you feel more comfortable buying... one with only a couple paragraphs of skinny information - or one with a mass of information and support behind it? No contest. Yes, big is best. It makes the buyer reassured that they are getting the most the seller has to offer. It also shows the seller and the product have substance. After all, if a product is no good or ineffective, it's hard to write a lot about it, isn't it? *** Why didn't you reply to my recent email, Ken? Firstly, I ALWAYS answer my email, every single one...sometimes up to a hundred messages a day. So if you don't get a reply from me, here's probably why: * I use a lot of anti-spam filters. If you use swear words, abusive or objectionable language, I never see your email to reply to it. It gets dumped automatically. I only want to deal with nice people. Doesn't everyone? Write nicely! Happy words get a quicker response from me too. * I don't answer messages when the Subject line is blank or has "No Subject" written in it. Usually this is spa*m, so I assume so and ignore it all. If that's your email, you need to put something in your subject...fill that up with the main point of your question so I know it's from a real person. *** Any other reason why you don't reply to me? Your ISP (Internet Service Providers) or free hosts like Yahoo, AOL, MSN or Hotmail have unsophisticated sp*m filters that take out genuine messages as well as the naughty sp*mmers. So my reply may not get through to you. Not my fault. What can you do about it if you think this is happening? Write the ISP an email. Tell them that ken@kensilver.com or ken@honestlotto.com is being blocked and would they please allow those addresses through in future. *** How did it get this way for ISP's, Ken? Well, it only takes one unhappy email recipient to mess up the system for us all. The usual story is that they might have forgotten they requested email from me and complain to their ISP. The ISP in turn takes these things very seriously - even if it's wrong. (Duh!) So they block the address. But if enough people write and ask for the block to be lifted, then they will do that. Some marketers change their email address regularly, but I probably won't. It messes up too many genuine address books for genuine people. *** So if my mail is blocked, why am I getting this one from you, Ken? This auto-reply is sent from a different source, thus bypassing any blocking that ISP's may do. Unfortunately I can't send you regular email from that address because it only sends my auto replies. *** I didn't sign up for anything, but you're sending me email! Yes, you did sign up when you took the Millionaire Test. And there you will have seen my comment that you're going to get email from me. It's called "Opt-In" - and is perfectly legal and proper. Listen, I've been doing this for over a decade. If I was doing it illegally, do you think I'd still be here after all this time? Good. Knew you'd understand! *** Why can't I buy your manual as a book? This electronic PDF stuff is too complicated! On behalf of the entire computer industry, I apologize. Yes, computers are far too complex, and it's incredibly annoying for me too. But you'll be interested to know that for the number of people I sell to - all with different computers and systems - PDF is actually the best way. Even with all its complications. An incredible 650 million downloads have been made of Adobe PDF Reader software round the world. (The number's probably so high because everyone has to try several times - darn computers!!) So if you haven't downloaded the free Reader, now's the time. Like many other computer essentials, this is one you should have! Definitely. Go here to download it: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html *** Ken, sometimes you send an auto-reply message back. I want to hear from you personally! If you've signed up through the Millionaire Test or in some other way, you'll get a series of auto-reply messages, just like this one, and they're pretty easy to tell apart. Don't stop reading these, because they have a lot of interesting stuff I think you need to know. Other times when I answer *personally* I sometime use a "cut & paste" reply from my store of prewritten messages. This is important part of my support. Because I get so many emails I can't reply to them all in a reasonable time. But I will answer you personally if your question can't be answered automatically. *** If you're so busy, why don't you hire a Support person to help you out? Well, in my life "busy" can also mean lying on the beach. Got to have R&R (Rest and Recreation) sometime! But the main reason is that I've seen many people in business start hiring others to do their jobs, and as a result drift further away from their core business. Then the business fails. It's especially important with customer support to be at the coal face, at the front line. I always need and want to know what YOU are thinking and requesting. This helps me evaluate my system and how I deal with you. It's important for me to keep this line of communication going. *** Why isn't your phone number on your website? Better Business Bureau says only non-genuine sellers don't show it. Most of my clients are in the States and Europe. I'm in New Zealand at the bottom of the world so most time zones are completely different to ours. A long time back, after I had been woken bleary-eyed for several nights at 2 or 3am (my normal bedtime is much earlier, believe it!), I withdrew my phone number from public gaze. Now you can't contact me at all by voice, but then neither can you ring the President of the United States. But you might be able to email him... and me. And I'll always reply. That's the only reason. *** What about a fax number then? Well, why are you reading this email instead of a fax from me? Faxes are so yesterday. And they cost money to send and the phone wakes me up in the middle of the night (See the previous question for the same reasons I don't give it out too obviously). *** Even your street address isn't shown! I had my full address on my website for many years. But with the growing number of stolen identities these days, showing personal items like street address (so handy to confirm credit cards for the trickster) is getting risky. I don't have a listed phone number for the same reason. But that lack of address doesn't mean I'm a huckster. Just that I've gone for most of my online life without problems, and I ain't gonna start them now! (part of this line from "A Bug's Life" animated movie). *** I've seen your photo on the Free Lotto website. You're no George Clooney! No, I'm not the best ham on the peg. But I live a contented, stress-free life of complete freedom and help a lot of people. That's all that matters. (Who wants George Clooney's piggish lifestyle anyway?) *** Ken, I only have WebTV. Can I buy your manual this way? Yes, you can, but it's done a bit differently. Now, I really like the concept of WebTV. My 82 year-old mother has a set-top box and uses it to surf the net and send and receive email from our families. I too have an email account with my satellite company, and use our big plasma screen in our lounge this way too sometimes. But WebTV is not a computer and you can't buy off it with credit cards, or get PDF files through it. So I have put up a password protected website so WebTV and set-top box people can read it onscreen or print it off just like PDF files. You have to email me so I can send you these details separately. And you can buy without a credit card through WebTV quite easily and quickly - sometimes within hours. You can find this alternative way to pay for it at the order page - just go below the order box on the page to get details: http://www.honestlotto.com/lotto/link/order.htm *** What makes the Honest Lotto System and you, Ken Silver, any different from the hundreds of strange, unproven, weird and bogus systems out there? Let's list the differences. First, unlike the others, I don't promise you any wins at any time. This has got to be an unusual way to sell a system - by promising nothing. But thousands have found out that when played properly, the Honest Lotto System can work and achieve good wins. Just check out the bunch of testimonials here to see that: http://www.honestlotto.com/lotto/link/testimonial.htm. But you could also play for a while without seeing a dime in winnings. That's all part of the randomness of the lottery, and no system can guarantee you success, even mine. Second, you have to be committed to buying it because I also have a tough qualifying money-back guarantee. I have to be sure you're playing the system properly and not having any wins over 3 months before I'll even consider starting the process to give your money back. Other systems are quite the reverse. They have so little faith and commitment in their product that they're willing to offer an easy money-back to tempt you in, but in the end just leave you standing without a winning chance. Which would you rather have? Ummm... *** Is it easy to get my money back if I don't win anything? No, it's not easy. I hate giving money back. And I dislike the people who try it on. They're like the eating-out scammers who complain after they finish their restaurant dinner in order to get a free meal. I KNOW people look at and keep my system when they buy it and ask for a refund. To ask for their money back because they think is doesn't work is theft. They have to work the system. Test it. Use it. My guarantee is that you'll win something in the test period. It may not be much. (As you know, I'm the only lotto system guy on the internet who promises you absolutely nothing). But even a small win means the system is working for you. Those small wins are like a car's indicator lights. They click, click, click... not doing much except a little flashing, but they're actually showing the way. That car - your big win - is soon going to turn the corner. Then, like me, you'll never have to work again! Believe it. But if you really don't win anything in the timeframe, then I give my personal assistance to help you. There's questions I ask to check that you're using the system correctly, and ways I can check your stats to help you further. Would you rather have the chance of winning $26 million - or get your $37 back and have no chance at all? Easy choice, isn't it! *** What toys have you bought since getting rich, Ken? What business is it of yours! In fact I'm not that rich, or even thin - just happy. I may soon give all my spare money to help third world countries. In fact, my wife of 31 years almost classifies as one of those for donations, but I sometimes have some cash left over after her for these exciting assets: Family: Wife, two sons, two daughter, 3 married, some with our grandkids. While these don't really rate as "toys" they are the most important of any list. Without this bunch of supportive, happy and successful people I would lead a dull existence. Taxes: My tax money helps a lot of essential causes, like government grants for dubious public art projects, warships, unduly long and losing crown court cases, and politician's wages. I LOVE giving this every quarter! Home Theater: We have a zippy DLP projector run through an HTPC and a 5.1 THX sound system for my collection of 150 DVD's. We have friends over and all enjoy the big screen in comfort - and without strangers kicking the back of your seat as they like to do in theaters. Plasma TV: Clear, sharp, awesome 42" picture! Fits on a wall. Buy one today and throw out your old tv! I want one for the garage also! Three cars: '93 Mercedes SL500 (that's the sports soft-top model, 0-100km/hr in 5.8 secs, I've proved it), '91 Jaguar Daimler, Miata MX5 for my wife. Also had a Honda US wagon but gave that to one of my daughters. I love cars... spend a lot of time polishing and talking to them. Both my Merc and Daimler are immaculate - probably the best in the country. Birman: Anoushka is our cat, a real sweetie. Sometimes talk to her too, and she answers back promptly, unlike the cars sometimes. Travel: I go overseas a bit. It's part fun, part boring. Hotels look the same all over the world. I don't like leaving my city really... I'm a bit of a homebody. Robot vacuum cleaner: My Roomba is one of the home items I cherish. It willingly vacuums every room, from our two car garage to the john. Efficient, effective - and it WORKS! And so cheap, everyone can buy one. There you are, you know more about me than anyone - except the other 67,000 on my mailing lists. (67,000...wow! Please don't all write back at once!) PS.
