This is the amazing true story of how one woman, with no previous business experience, earns $500,000+(* ) per year ... selling other people's stuff online!
Personal Message from the Author, Rosalind Gardner
Dear Aspiring Netpreneur,
I am appalled by the sheer volume of hype put forth by online scammers who promise to teach you 'how to earn HUGE money online' ...and you should be as well.
They'll try to sell you some expensive 'Internet Mall' or money-making scheme (that stopped working 7 years ago) and that won't help you make 2 red cents, let alone a comfortable living.
The fact is that most of these hucksters' never earned a dime online selling real products - they just promote bogus business opportunities!
If you're tired of the B.S. and want the truth about working as an Affiliate marketer - stick around - this page and the Super Affiliate Handbook's step-by-step business plan could do for you what it has done for thousands of others - change your life for the better!
Setting the Record Straight about Opportunities in the Affiliate Marketing Industry
I get angry every time I hear someone say that there's no money to be made as an affiliate marketer. What a pile of unadulterated cow dung! Those who try to tell you that affiliates can't make a living online:
- Haven't tried affiliate marketing, or;
- Haven't followed the right business plan, or;
- Are so greedy that they don't want you to share in the wealth.

The truth is, an entire industry has grown around online affiliate marketing since the mid-1990's and it is getting bigger all the time. Conventions are regularly held and attended by thousands of people and there's even an offline magazine devoted entirely to the subject of affiliate marketing. Entire affiliate networks such as Commission Junction, Linkshare and Double Click Performics exist for the purpose of bringing merchants and affiliates together. There are THOUSANDS of merchants with affiliate programs. |
From Wikipedia... According to one report, total sales generated through affiliate networks in 2006 was �2.16 billion in the UK alone. MarketingSherpa's 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 forms of lead generation other than contextual ad networks such as Google AdSense. |
So, What is Affiliate Marketing?
In a nutshell, affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and affiliate (you), in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site.
For example, many credit card companies will pay you between $5 and $20 in commission for each visitor that you send to their site who completes a credit card application, and up to $55 for those whose applications are approved.
That's a great commission, and although many companies pay less, there are also many companies that pay much MORE!
Here's another example.
If you promote this Elite TR6633 Treadmill which sells for $6,495.00 as an affiliate of MegaFitness, they will pay you a 10% commission... or $649.50!
"Fantastic!", you say.
You're absolutely right!
How much you will earn depends in part on the products you choose to sell, and in the Super Affiliate Handbook I show you exactly how to find the best companies and products to promote.
Video: How Affiliate Marketing Works
Here's a video that I made for you to show you the basics of how affiliate marketing works.
You'll see one of my sites, the products that I promote, how I affiliate with merchants and how easy it is to get the affiliate link code to place in your blog. (And don't worry, the Super Affiliate Handbook covers how to install a blog too --- which won't take you more than 3 to 5 minutes).
SONY, Dell and Other BIG Brand-Names Want YOU to Promote Their Products!
Basically, any company trying to do business on the web WITHOUT an affiliate program nowadays is dead in the water - and they all need affiliates to promote their products!
Here are some of the BIG brand-name companies that use affiliate programs to promote their products online:

...and of course, perhaps the most famous affiliate program of all, Amazon.com.
Best of all, TENS of THOUSANDS of affiliates make money every day and THOUSANDS of people have quit their boring day jobs to become full-time affiliate marketers - many of whom earn MILLIONS of dollars a year.
Could YOU do it?
Affiliate Marketing is NOT Rocket Science...
Affiliate marketing is NOT rocket science. Far from it!
You don't need an MBA to do business on the web. I should know. I had ZERO business experience when I started out. Nothing... nada.
Actually, when I started, I barely knew how to surf the web! All I had was the desire to become my own boss, and HUGE motivation to make some good money to make up for the retirement plan I would have to give up when I finally quit my job.
For 20 years before starting my Internet business, I worked for the government, as an air traffic controller. I knew I wasn't going to make it to retirement in that occupation. The crazy shifts were making me sick, so I had to do something to secure my future so that I could quit before the job killed me.
Fortunately, right around the time I fell ill, I got connected to the 'Net. I'm no genius, but it didn't take long before I saw the potential for a fun and lucrative home-based business using the 'Net.
I was right. Two years after I started to 'play' with web sites, I quit my job as an air traffic controller. Only two years - and that was without any specialized affiliate marketing training!
Note: By following the training program in the Super Affiliate Handbook, many of my students have quit their nasty old day jobs in much less time!
"One thing that most really successful affiliates do is help their visitors make buying decisions by telling them which products are best and why.
A perfect example is Rosalind Gardner, who earns $30,000 to 50,000 a month in affiliate commissions..."

So, what qualifies me to teach affiliate marketing?
Dear Rosalind,
Do I show you those figures to boast? Hardly! I simply want you to know what's possible.
My affiliate sites are so lucrative, they've been written about in venues such as 'Secrets to Their Success', 'Small Business Opportunities' and 'Revenue' magazines.
After being profiled in Revenue Magazine, (the only magazine for the affiliate marketing industry), I was invited to write their "Affiliate's Corner" column.
In addition to writing, I often speak at industry conferences such as Affiliate Summit, the Affiliate Convention, AdTech and more.
Shown left is a picture of me moderating the 'What Super Affiliates Want' panel at Affiliate Summit East 2007 in Miami.

Super Affiliate Handbook vs. Other Training
Although other affiliate training manuals have some strong points (and I do recommend one as a companion to the Super Affiliate Handbook), most affiliate marketing training manuals currently sold are either seriously out-of-date; fail to teach valuable site and traffic-building techniques (such as blogging) or completely bypass essential marketing methods. Furthermore, one of those that fails to teach the basics is also ridiculously expensive.
On the other hand, the modestly-priced , regularly updated Super Affiliate Handbook is by far the most comprehensive on the subject of affiliate marketing, which explains why affiliate marketing professioanls, such as affiliate network and independent program managers as well as merchants with affiliate programs also have a copy of the Super Affiliate Handbook.
Shown here is a picture of Brian Marcus, in his office at the Performics affiliate network, holding his copy of the Super Affiliate Handbook.
Moreover, the Super Affiliate Handbook is stocked in libraries and used in University and College ecommerce courses.
Perhaps most importantly, I show you how to deal with the problems that affiliates encounter and how to avoid the mistakes that many affiliates make - something other trainers just don't tell you about.
Students' Success Stories
Colin McDougall: The Affiliate "Come-Back Kid"
When I first heard from him, Colin McDougall was desperate for help. Following a different affiliate marketing training system, Google had dropped his sites and his affiliate commissions fell by an astounding 40K per month. Worse, he couldn't pay his monthly bills.
Colin did one thing right - he asked for my help, then read the Handbook. Here is just one of the notes that he sent me after starting to apply techniques that he learned in the Super Affiliate Handbook.
Dear Rosalind
I am so relieved to have left "the (name withheld) style" approach to affiliate marketing.
I am now taking what I have learned from you and adopting your strategies to my site-building efforts and finally feel a sense of relief.
It's amazing how quickly my old-style sites are dying due to serious flaws with the old approach, however traffic to my new sites is increasing even more quickly.
Knowing that I am rebuilding on a rock-solid foundation brings great excitement.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Colin McDougall
Follow-up: In the time since Colin amended his ways, he has more than rebuilt his affiliate business and become a Super Affiliate, his success has been profiled in Revenue magazine and he too now speaks at industry conferences.
Matt Followed My Advice...
Here's a letter from Matt Haller, just one of many affiliate marketers now profitting from what I teach in the Super Affiliate Handbook.
Hi Rosalind,
I just wanted to take a moment & personally thank you for all the encouragement & help you have given me over the past year.
This month I passed the $10,000 a month club in income & I gotta tell you, I�m excited.
All I do is sell clickbank products & develop single opt in email subscribers.
I�m making $10,000 per month now, but I know I could do triple that, if I had a few other related products & somebody that knows good ad copy.
Rosalind. Thanks So Much Again. You have literally changed my life...
Sincerely,
Matt Haller
"Wise, practical, and easy---what else could you want? I say get this one and put it to the test. The real gold in cyberspace is in being a super affiliate. Well, here's the roadmap to show you the way. You don't even need your own product! Talk about a no-brainer approach to wealth. Excellent. I learned a lot and feel inspired, to boot!"
I discovered that the REAL benefits that come from working at home and earning my living from the Internet are about much MUCH more than making a lot of money. It's about having the freedom to live your life as YOU choose.
