Super Affiliate Handbook

Who doesn’t want to monetize their site or blog? If you are like me, you will explore every means of monetizing your traffic. It is no wonder then that the market is full of handbooks telling you how to turn your start-up blog into a money-minting machine overnight.

Rosalind Gardener’s Super Affiliate Handbook that I am going to review now is probably not one among them. It doesn’t promise to make you rich overnight. It has an honest approach towards this whole money making business and that is what makes this book special.

The Super Affiliate Handbook has been in the market since 2003. It is now considered the Holy Grail of Affiliate marketing. Does the handbook live up to the hype surrounding it?

What the Super Affiliate Handbook is?

The Super Affiliate Handbook is much like a parent or a teacher. It tells you what you should do and not what you want to do. It focuses on affiliate marketing as a business you need to nurture and not as a way to get rich overnight.

The first pages of this book tell you how to set up an online business with the right hardware and software. It teaches a beginner how to sign up as an affiliate. The next few chapters are devoted to helping you research profitable ideas for your business. It lists useful resources and affiliate networks where you can sign up as an affiliate.

There is plenty of advice regarding choosing the right program to join. Now your site is ready you need to get visitors.  Rosalind’s preferred method of getting visitors is through pay-per-click search engines. You may or may not agree with her in this regard. I, personally, am not a great fan of paid traffic. But whether we are interested in paying for traffic or not, one thing is certain. We all want traffic and profits.

What the Super Affiliate Handbook isn’t?

This is not a get rich quick guide. If that is what you want you should consider other options. To make money using the guidelines specified by Rosalind you need to work at the process. If you can’t then there is no point in buying this book. This book isn’t about Search Engine Optimization. It doesn’t tell you how to improve your search engine rankings.

Who should buy this book?

The Super Affiliate Handbook is helpful to anyone who wants to make money online through affiliate marketing. It helps both the beginner and the seasoned marketer understand the finer concepts of affiliate marketing so that they can build a profitable and sustainable online business. If you are a beginner you must definitely consider buying this book. It will help you get a better understanding of what it really takes to be a successful affiliate marketer. It explains every step you need to take to set up your online store. It tells you how to choose the right affiliate programs. It also lists some strict no-nos.

If you are a veteran who has already figured out what works and what doesn’t work for your marketing programs, you probably don’t need to buy this book. But you may still find it helpful if you want to make a more structured approach towards affiliate marketing.

The Super Affiliate Handbook costs just under $50 and it can be bought from the Super Affiliate Handbook website.
