OUT NOW: A Complete Guide to Affiliate Marketing
In case you thought this blog had died and gone to Heaven Hell…
Nope!
I’ve been scribbling away in the darkness and I’m relieved/delighted to finally announce:
A Complete Guide to Affiliate Marketing
The book has just dropped in my store.
First question, how is it different from the Premium Post series?
This is a cohesive start-to-finish, step-by-step guide to affiliate marketing.
It is a 419 page beast that tackles the complex issue of how I would teach somebody to make money from our industry.
There was an amazing response to Premium Posts Volume 2015, but the biggest criticism it faced was that people wanted more structure.
They wanted less nuggets, and more actionable advice.
I’ve had numerous requests for coaching, mentoring and private consulting along these lines, all of which I have refused.
I’m not interested in coaching.
What I can offer instead is this guide: a one-size-fits-all breakdown of the skill sets, philosophies, and challenges you will face if you wish to become a successful affiliate. And how I deal with them personally.
The guide is roughly split in two.
The first half gets newbies and rank beginners up to speed.
The second half ventures in to advanced marketing philosophies that should prove useful, and lucrative, for any affiliate.
I have included some of my own campaigns as examples.
You will see the logic behind their conception, the launch process, the optimisation process, reaching profit, and how I go about scaling.
Update: Unsolicited Feedback Since The Release:
No affiliate trust testimonials, right?
Here’s some unsolicited feedback I’ve collected since the launch of the guide.
What’s in the guide?
74,314 words, 419 pages, and a lot of swearing.
