Your guide to affiliate marketing success!
Once upon a time I was an online newbie who wanted very much to buy the Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner. After all, I was online to replace my tailoring income with an online income. I wanted to play with my computer instead of being tied to my sewing machine all day.
I messed up.
At that time, I was still learning the magic of HTML and how to make .pdf’s and such. Trying to FTP just about drove me around the bend, so I feared I’d waste the $47 book. Little did I know how much I would spend on other books later.
Fast forward to now, years later and I stumbled across her book again, discover it’s newly-updated and I can FTP quite well, thank you. I finally bought the book with a kick to my own behind for waiting so long.
Why?
Rosalind promised I’d get maximum value by reading the book cover to cover before I zipped off to implement a new campaign. So I did. And soon discovered a chuckle-headed mistake I was making.
What color are your links?
She said one quick and easy way to get more clicks on my blog is to make sure my links are the classic colors people expect to see. My gray on gray blog links irritated me for being so nearly invisible, but being TOLD to change them and how it would boost my income was most welcome. Who knows if and when I’d ever have bothered to do that on my own?
That’s just one tiny tip and doesn’t give you any idea of the comprehensive education she provides in her book.
How do you keep track of everything?
Besides covering all the basics and steps, she shares organization tips. From the beginning, she kept track of everything–including her many passwords–with a spreadsheet.
That beats my file cards all hollow. Sometimes I have to remember a site name before I can find my card. I’d far rather be reminded of all the sites I own from seeing it on a list versus pawing through two (yes, I overflowed one a long time ago) file boxes of login info.
This book is never outdated.
As the internet is ever-changing, she keeps the handbook up to date to reflect the changing times and tools like RSS feeds, blogging and how to take advantage of foreign currency rates. She shares her personal experience of what works and what doesn’t, so the book is evergreen.
Does it work in today’s economy?
The latest update addresses how the economic crisis affects affiliate marketing. The good news is this: focus your affiliate efforts on helping people spend their money more wisely and everyone wins.
Her methods are tried and true, proven to build a solid business with the likelihood of excellent income by using marketing methods she outlines and uses herself.
Let’s talk sales conversions.
Did you know she enjoys sales conversions 3 to 5 times higher than the rest of us? This is a lady I want to learn from!
What’s missing?
After reading the book, I wanted a simple list of the steps—a cheat sheet to accompany the handbook. So I’ll make one. Even so, as I reread and follow the links, I’m more than satisfied.
If only I’d bought it years ago. While she created wealth and a great reputation for helping, I created mounting debt. Ouch!
One last tip.
Rosalind says, “A goal without a deadline is nothing more than a wish.” What’s your goal? Write it down! Take action!
I highly recommend this book. Don’t get distracted and wait years to end the chaos like I did. Don’t lose what resources you have in a struggle to find an income-generating system that works. Grab your copy of the Super Affiliate Handbook today and get busy.
Best,
P.S.
Yes, maybe her big income figure seems outlandish and hypey. It’s no lie, though. See her YouTube video proof. Another video gives you affiliate marketing in a nutshell. Great stuff!
P.P.S.
While all the links in my post are meant to help you, some are affiliate links, which means if you click and buy, I could earn money.
