A Review By: Paul Timmons

Affiliate Marketing: the golden goose of the Internet world. This concept attracts swarms of people like a mirage. Why? It's easy to see why. It is probably the single most powerful way to make a living online, and it is without a doubt the engine of the online economy.
Rosalind Gardner's ebook came out on the market when many people didn't know about Affiliate Marketing. Since then, many “gurus” have been born and many of them vanished completely also. This method however still sells, because Affiliate Marketing is still here with us. In a style typical for all Internet Marketing products, this book reveals some of the “secrets” of Affiliate Marketing.

While this book is great for beginners, it is equally boring for people who thought they'd find “hidden strategies” from this product. I couldn't exactly define the amount of filler pages, since maybe some people really need reminding that they need a computer in order to work online.
First sections of the book include titles like: “Can You Handle the Lifestyle?” - well, can you? - after which it goes on to talk about a few of the basics you need in order to build an online business – a computer (yeah, you need one), a phone, stuff like e-mail programs and anti-virus software. As I said, advanced Marketers, beware!
Once the filler part is done, there is some quality information that will shed some light for an Affiliate Marketing beginner. The most interesting part in all the theory is actually the author's display of some successful business ideas that have given her results along the way.

The book is pretty well-structured and it has a comprehensive table of contents. And for people who are more advanced and want to skip the fluff part, there is always the option of skimming the table of contents and clicking on the interesting titles. I know it sounds pretty basic, but you would be surprised about the great number of authors who just forget about this. And then they call themselves professional Internet Marketers !

This is maybe one of the biggest problems in today's Internet world. While many of the books sound very good in theory, practice is what's killing us. And this product is no exception from the rule. People need a clear blueprint of what they are supposed to do, and that's why they pay the money for a product or another.
While the “Super Affiliate Handbook” does a very good job at explaining some basic concepts, it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of implementation. You will get a basic understanding of what Affiliate Marketing is, but this is about as far as this book goes. If you want to learn some powerful strategies, you will have to read more advanced products.

If you want to learn some other powerful methods of Affiliate Marketing implementation, then yes, you will definitely need to buy other products. If you just want to get an introduction into the world of “Affiliate Marketing”, then no. It's everybody's own choice.
You can look at this book as a general guide through most of the terms that you will encounter in your online business experience. Not a detailed approach, but more like a dictionary for the beginning online entrepreneur.

Considering the fact that this product is sold for only $47, it has a good price tag indeed. Maybe this is exactly one of the reasons that contributed to its success. Bear in mind that this product was launched in 2003 and it's still selling today! How many people who launched an ebook can pride themselves with this? Not too many, I can tell you that.

The conclusion? Well, I think that you pretty much got the big picture – I hope you did, anyway. If you are a beginner, then this is the book for you. You should print it and have it on your shelf, read it a few times in order to get an understanding of the mechanics of Affiliate Marketing. If you are an advanced user, you probably have heard all about this product and read it already. Either way, thanks for reading this review and good luck in your online endeavors!
