The Super Affiliate Handbook

This book's selling point is based on Rosalind Gardner's success in becoming a super affiliate which is the status achieved by affiliate marketers who typically make an income of over $10,000 per month.

Who is Rosalind Gardner?

Rosalind Gardner is a Canadian who worked as an air traffic controller for 20 years. Then when her online affiliate marketing business took off, she was able to quit her job and become a full-time affiliate marketer. At her website, you can read more of the details.  

In her book, Rosalind gives you an overview of the process she went through to become a super affiliate making $436,797 in 2002. It assumes that the reader has no affiliate marketing experience and starts from the ground up. The entire book is 275 pages long but for someone with affiliate marketing experience, some of that material can be skimmed. Here is a brief breakdown of what is covered (a partial list): 

• Setting up shop (15 pages)
• Researching profitable ideas (43 pages)
• Where to find products and services to sell (38 pages)
• How to choose products and programs (30 pages)
• Domain issues (8 pages)
• Planning and building your site (29 pages)
• Ways to promote your affiliate business (27 pages)
• Managing and growing your affiliate business (28 pages)

With a price of $47, the cost of the book can be recovered by just making a few extra affiliate sales using the techniques found in the book. As with most ebooks, this one is filled with Rosalind's affiliate links. I suppose this is very lucrative for her, especially if the target audience is a newbie who has little or no experience whatsoever. However, she does state in the disclaimer that most of the links in the book are her affiliate links. I think that's a good thing - her honesty. 

Having said that, I highly recommend reading this book before you get started in affiliate marketing. It will show you how to research markets, which affiliate programs to choose, and most importantly the mistakes to avoid. Rosalind got started with just one online dating site and she shares exactly how she became successful with it. You can follow her guidelines and start your own affiliate marketing business.
