Affiliate Marketing Can Be Your Passport
To A New and Prosperous Lifestyle
The most common email question we get from folks who are new to the idea of an internet business, but feel they are interested in building their own website is, “What is affiliate marketing?”
In its simplest form, affiliate marketing works by placing links and banners on your website that lead to a merchant’s website with whom you have a commission agreement, like Amazon.com or iTunes, or any one of thousands of others. If the person you sent to that site buys something while he’s there, you get paid a commission – anywhere from 3% to 20% or more. Send enough “traffic” to enough merchant sites, and generate enough sales, and you’ve created an income stream for yourself.
You keep no inventory. You do no shipping. You collect no sales taxes. And you don’t deal with customer complaints or returns. One marketing research team estimated that, in 2006, affiliates worldwide earned $6.5 billion in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources in retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing, and various forms of lead generation. And it grows every year.
Affiliate Marketing Success Requires
Only Knowledge and The Right Tools
It sounds simple, and it is, but like any other business venture you must arm yourself with the knowledge and the tools that give you the best opportunity for success. There are thousands of self-proclaimed affiliate marketing “gurus” out there who are happy to take anywhere from $29 to several thousand dollars of your money to impart their wisdom, and promise you the key to instant and easy success. But there may be only a dozen or so who know what they’re talking about, and they don’t make outrageous promises. They share their knowledge, their experience, and the techniques learned from doing it themselves. Rosalind Gardner is one of them, and her book The Super Affiliate Handbook is the FIRST one you should read before deciding if affiliate marketing is for you.

She decided that affiliate marketing would be her ticket to a new career, and in just a couple of years she had quit her job to devote full attention to her internet affiliate websites. She has now reached a level of success that most of us only aspire to, and she has shared her journey in a remarkable step-by-step account that will guide you to your own goal of financial stability and independence if you pay attention to what she has to say.
