“The
Super Affiliate Handbook” contains so much valuable
information that I’m really impressed. But despite
the amount of information, you get enough details
to get a grasp of each step in the process. And you
never loose the overview.
There
are only two parts of the book where I would like
to get a few more details.
The
first part is Rosalind Gardner’s coverage of
how to track your results. I’ve already mentioned
this above and commended Rosalind Gardner for what
she indeed has included about this subject in “The
Super Affiliate Handbook”. As I said above, just
the fact that Rosalind Gardner covers this subject,
makes “The Super Affiliate Handbook” stands
out among most of here competitors. And especially
the spreadsheet templates included in the book are
extremely valuable.
However,
to make the book perfect, I would like to get even
more details about exactly how to track and test all
moves in an affiliate business.
I
don’t say this subtract from all the positive
words I’ve said above about this part of “The
Super Affiliate Handbook”. It’s just that,
considering the many details of the rest of the book,
it would have added even more to the value of the
book if you got even more specific descriptions in
the section.
The
second part is Rosalind Gardner’s coverage of
pre-selling. If you’d like to become a super
affiliate, the ability to pre-sell is vitally important.
Actually I think Rosalind Gardner could have elaborated
even more on this important topic. She does give you
some ideas about how to pre-sell, but I still miss
a few more step-by-step descriptions.
However,
if you’d like to see one of the best practical
examples on pre-selling that I’ve ever seen,
you should look upon Rosalind Gardner’s book
from this perspective. By this I mean, “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.
I
say this without any irony. I really say this in a
positive frame of mind.
I
certainly don’t blame Rosalind for including
the affiliate links in her book – especially
considering the high quality of the information in
her book. Exactly the high quality of the information
in “The Super Affiliate Handbook” justifies
the affiliate links. Rosalind Gardner’s endorsements
are – in my opinion – justified and given
with the best intents in mind. So, why shouldn’t
Rosalind Gardner use her affiliate links instead of
just giving the URLs without the affiliate codes?
If
you would like from a super affiliate how to pre-sell
affiliate products, try to look upon “The Super
Affiliate Handbook” 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
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.
Overall
assessment
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! I give it my strongest recommendations.
