“The Super Affiliate Handbook” by Rosalind Gardner is one of the very best , if not the best instruction manual on Affiliate Marketing that I have read. In fact, the only other book that comes close to it is James Martell’s book on the same subject at around 4 times the price. In contrast to most other books on Affiliate marketing, “The Super Affiliate Handbook” by Rosalind Gardner goes into all the details on how she built her own very profitable Internet business.
Rosalind covers several subjects that most other authors either skip or just mention in passing, eg. one of the most important and helpful parts of “The Super Affiliate Handbook” is the section on how to track your results. Many other internet marketers emphasize the importance of doing this, but don’t tell you how. Rosalind Gardner doesn’t just emphasize the importance of doing this, she also tells you how she does it, and shows you the spreadsheets she uses to track her numbers of visitors, buyers etc. This is a very valuable part of this book.
Rosalind also leads you through the formula for calculating your conversion rate, in order to enable you to track your ad results and is indispensable.
If you would like from a super affiliate how to pre-sell affiliate products, try to look upon from this perspective. The reason why Rosalind Gardner does such a good job pre-selling affiliate products, is that her affiliate links are embedded in honest and high-quality information. In opposition to most other affiliate marketers, she doesn’t just throw a bunch of affiliate links in your face. No, she really helps you and gives (after you’ve paid for it :-) you high-quality information that you can immediately use. And then when you need to get the resources and tools to apply her advice to your business, you use her affiliate links. And most of her grateful readers won’t blame her after they’ve gotten so much fine information from her.
“The Super Affiliate Handbook” itself is a brilliant example on how you can pre-sell affiliate products. The book is filled with affiliate links, and the text in the book is how Rosalind Gardner pre-sells these products.
The book is really well written. The language is engaging, and Rosalind Gardner doesn’t fall for the temptation to try to impress with her knowledge. Instead you immediately sense that she’s speaking out from her personal knowledge. This impression is also emphasized by the many personal real-life stories and illustrations Rosalind Gardner has woven into the text.
The look of the book is very good. It can be very annoying to read an otherwise good ebook that looks sloppy and amateurish. “The Super Affiliate Handbook” looks really professional and nice.
Finally, I’d like to mention how nice it is to finally read a book that takes advance of the possibility to use an interactive contents list. So many ebook authors neglect this functionality despite the fact that it makes it much easier to navigate around in the book.
Conclusion
This is a fantastic book! One of the absolutely best books I’ve ever read on Affiliate Marketing – maybe even the best.
You get all the details you need to build your own successful affiliate business. The book is well written and the content is easy to understand and apply. The graphics, the navigation (with interactive links) and the illustrations look really good.
If you are interested in building your own affiliate business on the Internet, I think “The Super Affiliate Handbook” by Rosalind is one of the absolute best places to start. And considering the low price of the book, it’s an absolute steal. So, get this book!
Highly Recommended!
