Although I hate the term and don't own a tiara, my colleagues call me the "Affiliate Marketing Queen". :-) A January 2009 trade magazine pegs me as the female affiliate marketer (since 1998) with the most experience. (Watch this video to see my affiliate earnings in real-time.)
Over the years, thousands of 'regular, non-technical folks' (just like you ---andme) have learned how to start and run their own successful affiliate marketing businesses using the methods I teach in the Super Affiliate Handbook (andas an industry expert speaker, magazine columnist and consultant) and YOU can learn them too!
I teach by example - usingmy own affiliate sites. From blog installation, to design, content creation and all methods of marketing - I STILL do it all. (Note: Manyotheraffiliate training packages use MY affiliate sites as examples without my permission. That's because those so-called 'trainers'don't have affiliate sites. Theypretendto be working affiliates to take your money, but they don't have anyreal experience.)
So, if you're tired of bogus claims and hype and want to learn how affiliate marketingreallyworks, keep reading or listen to a...
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 companieswill pay you between $5 and $20 in commissionfor each visitor that you send to their site who completes a credit card application, andup to $55for 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 thisElite TR6633 Treadmillwhich 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 HandbookI show you exactly how to find the best companies and products to promote.
In the "Take a Tour" video, you'll see the lovely site design on my blog (the Super Affiliate Handbook covers how to install a blog --- which won't take you more than 3 to 5 minutes), the products that I promote, and learn a few of the secrets that I use to generate so much income with affiliate marketing.To get your free video, simply enter your name and email address in the form below.
An entire industry has grown around online affiliate marketing since the mid-1990's and it is getting bigger all the time.

Affiliate marketing isNOT rocket science. Far from it!
Youdon'tneed an MBAto do business on the web. I should know. I hadZERO business experiencewhen I started out. Nothing... nada.
Actually, when I started, I barely knew how to surf the web!
All I had was thedesire to become my own boss, andHUGE motivationto make some good money tomake up for the retirement plan I would have to give upwhen I finally quit my job.
"One thing that mostreally successful affiliatesdo 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 50,000a month in affiliate commissions..."
Allan Gardyne - AssociatePrograms.com
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 jobas 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 quittheirnasty old day jobs in muchlesstime!
I'm ready to start Now!
So, what qualifies me toteachaffiliate marketing?
NOTE:Although the title of the Handbook specifies the amount that I made in 2002 ($436,797), now (in2009) I make much more than that. I simply state 500,000 + (PLUS) in the headline above... because as soon as I say more than 500K, I get a deluge of marriage proposals. :-)
I DO what I teach, and I excel as an affiliate marketer.
Since I quit my day job as an air traffic controller in 2000, I've earned 100% of my income online. In 2002, I earned a whopping$436,797 USin affiliate commissions (then worth $657,801 CDN).Now, in2009I earnmuchmore than that as an affiliate!

Super Affiliate Handbookvs. Other Training
Although other affiliate training manuals have some strong points (and I do recommend one as acompanionto the Super Affiliate Handbook), most affiliate marketing training manuals currently sold are eitherseriously 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.
Shown here is a picture of Brian Marcus, in his office at the Performics affiliate network (now the Google Affiliate Network), holding his copy of the Super Affiliate Handbook.
On the other hand, themodestly-priced,regularly updatedSuper Affiliate Handbook is by farthe most comprehensiveon 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.
Moreover, the Super Affiliate Handbook is stocked in libraries and used in University and College ecommerce courses.
Perhapsmost 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 wasdesperate for help. Following a different affiliate marketing training system, Google had dropped his sites and his affiliate commissionsfell by an astounding 40K per month.
Worse yet, 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.
Since Colin started following the Super Affiliate Handbook approach to affiliate marketing, he has MORE than replaced his income.
He is now an expert affiliate marketer and recently presented on a panel with me at the Affiliate Summit conference.
The AffiliateLifestyle
The benefits of working for myself far exceeded my hopes and dreams.
Yup, that's a picture of me and my 'dream machine'. Nope, that's not about money, that's about having the time to truly savor the ride.
Isn't it time to make YOUR dreams come true?
Is Information in the Super Affiliate HandbookCurrent?
Of course! Because Internet business technology and techniques are constantly evolving, I regularly update the Super Affiliate Handbook to reflect those changes and inform my readers.

Is There aGuarantee?
Absolutely!
Don't decide now if the "Super Affiliate Handbook" is right for you.Take 8 weeks (56 days) to put it to the test!If you aren't completely satisfied with the "Super Affiliate Handbook" at any time within8 weeks(56 days), I'll give your money back ... no questions asked!
HUGE Bonuswith Purchase
As a Super Affiliate Handbook owner, you may access my telephone consultation service and better yet -get a $100 discount off my regular consultation fees!
Excellent Value... even at 3, 4 or 5 Times the Price!
I've spenttens of thousands of dollarson software, services and other 'experts' ebooks, all related to affiliate marketing. I've also investedthousands of hoursto perfect my affiliate marketing techniques.
To get access to all this 'insider' information and the benefit of years of research and experience would normally cost thousands of dollars.
I've seen 30-page reports about niche areas of Internet marketing sell for up to $250! Why so much? Because that's what people will pay for specialized knowledge and instruction.
But I believe in sharing the wealth and FAIR pricing, so I offer you a:
Special Price
Not $97.00
Save $50.00
Only $47.00
That'sless than one-fifththe amount I charge for a one-hour telephone consultation! Other affiliate marketing ebooks that sell for more than $160 are incomplete, out-of-date and don't come close to offering all that'The Super Affiliate Handbook'teaches you.
"So, What's The Catch? Why Do I Sell'The Super Affiliate Handbook'for Less Than $100, or even $50?"
Well, for one simple reason.
Since you will download Handbook directly via the Internet, I have no inventory or order fulfillment costs. There's no shipping department, no receptionist, no couriers, etc. I only have to worry about online costs.
I can therefore pass those savings on to you.This is win-winfor both of us! I save in costs and you save in price!
This is more like a comprehensive affiliate marketing course to teach you how to run an affiliate marketing Program business successfully, and benefit from your website which you already have. Unless you need to create a new website, then you can do first
