Affiliate Commandments - Blueprint To Success Or Just More Hype?
Affiliate marketing has revolutionized the way that things are sold on the Internet in recent years. Retailers have learned that they can increase their sales dramatically if they offer incentives for third parties to market their products for them. This mutually beneficial relationship results in greater sales for the retailer and much appreciated commission checks for the affiliate, who advertises the product without having to actually sell it.
With the boom in affiliate marketing, it is not surprising that quite a few of these products would be books that tell you how to make money in this way. Quite a number of products are on the market that provide suggestions, techniques and advice for earning money in affiliate marketing. Some of these products have been quite successful, while others are merely scams calculated to make money for the authors while providing little of value.
The latest product to hit the scene in the affiliate marketing is a book called Affiliate Commandments, written by the author of two previous "hits", Day Job Killer and the ominously named Affiliate Project X. In this book, the author offers a "million dollar blueprint" that outlines how you can earn affiliate revenue using the very techniques that he has used for success. Does Affiliate Commandments offer legitimate value, or is it merely one more overdescribed book?
The author, Chris McNeeney, does have a track record of success, and his last two books did offer sensible advice in the field of affiliate marketing. The new one is in the same mold. The most unexpected thing about This book is its length; it is not a particularly long book. On the other hand, there is no fillier; this book is all business. Affiliate Commandments represents refined and distilled versions of the techniques that Chris has outlined in previous books, polished to a bright shine. Even though the book is fairly brief, Chris is able to cover a number of topics that are essential for affiliate marketers - Choosing a popular product, assembling a "stable" of products to promote, and how to see if your advertising techniques are working. He also offers a tweaked version of a famous method that lets you profit from the successful advertising of others in order to use their techniques to your advantage. Don't know a thing about affiliate marketing? That's not a problem, either, since he includes a copy of a beginner's affiliate marketing guide with the book.
The marketing world is full of hyperbole, and it can sometimes be difficult to separate the good products from the junk. Affiliate Commandments is, for the most part, a well-written, concise and best of all, reasonably priced product that can help anyone in the marketing arena earn a few more dollars than they otherwise might.
