Review Of The Super Affiliate Handbook

Review 

    

What is this book basically?

The Super Affiliate Handbook by Rosalind Gardner is, as the title also says, a 
handbook for affiliate marketers. The word, “super” in the title, doesn’t imply 
that the book is only meant for super affiliates. Rather, in
The Super Affiliate Handbook ,Rosalind Gardner intends to show 
you how you can become a super affiliate. Rosalind Gardner knows 
what she’s talking about.

On her web site, she delivers the proof that she personally earned $436,797 the 
year prior to the publication of “The Super Affiliate Handbook”. Rosalind Gardner 
has primarily earned this income been earned by marketing affiliate products and 
services targeting the dating market.

But can you do the same, even if you want to target other markets?

The experience of several super affiliates confirms the fact that it can be done. And in 
“The Super Affiliate Handbook” Rosalind Gardner shows you step-by-step how she 
and several other affiliate marketers have become so successful.

What I like in this book

“The Super Affiliate Handbook” by Rosalind Gardner is one of the very best 
overviews I’ve ever seen over the process of marketing affiliate products. In fact, the 
only competitor I can think of right now is Ewen Chia's ebook on the same subject.

In opposition to most other books on affiliate marketing, and Internet Marketing in 
general, in “The Super Affiliate Handbook” Rosalind Gardner really goes into 
the details on how you can build you own profitable Internet business.

Rosalind Gardner covers several subjects that most other authors either 
skip or just mention in passing. For instance, one of the most important and 
helpful parts of “The Super Affiliate Handbook” is the section on how to track 
your results. Most other Internet marketers underscore the 
importance of doing this, but they don’t tell you how. Rosalind Gardner doesn’t 
emphasize the importance of doing this, she also tells you how she does it. And 
she shows you the spreadsheets she herself uses to track her number of visitors,
buyers etc. This is a very valuable part of this book. It’s just a shame that you 
don’t get the spreadsheet templates themselves, so that you can use them in 
your business. You just get a screen 
view over the templates.

Now, it isn’t that difficult to create these templates yourself. If you have Microsoft 
Excel (or another similar program) installed on your computer, you can easily create 
these templates yourself. But it would have been easier if you got them together 
with the book.

Rosalind Gardner also leads you through the formula for calculating your conversion 
rate. This formula is of course well known, but it’s really fine that she has included it 
in the book. If you want to track your ad results this formula is indispensable.

As I mentioned above, one of the things I like the most about 
“The Super Affiliate Handbook” 
is the degree to which Rosalind Gardner gives you all the details of how to become 
a super affiliate. She covers...
How to decide whether you have what it takes to start 
your own Internet business. 
The importance of making a plan for your business 



Rosalind Gardner’s own software recommendations.
How to filter away bad products and find the kind of products 
that’ll earn you a nice income as an affiliate. 
How to market the affiliate products etc. 

“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 always read ebooks, such as this with my laptop close at hand
to order the products. I have been getting more impressions and clicks by using Rosalind Gardners
recommendations. I also love Ewen Chia and his products because of what the books have taught me
and improved my overall internet marketing.

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.

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
high-quality information that you can immediately use. You can
then when you need to get the resources and tools to apply her
advice to your business, you use her affiliate links.

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. Also my favorite part is that she updates her ebook to stay current
with the new trends in affiliate marketing. I paid my $47 with no reservation.

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. 
Considering the low price of the book, it’s an absolute steal. So, get this book! I give it
 my strongest recommendations.
