If you’re like me, you’ve jumped into this thing called affiliate marketing with both feet. You spend hours on the computer and look up and the day is gone! Well, that’s no way to live, even on this major learning curve we affiliate marketing newbies are on. The whole point of affiliate marketing is that one day you’ll get some freedom to live life the way you want to – on your terms. If you think there’s no time for freedom now, then it’s time for a wake-up call. And you can get that and more over at A Best Web, the online forum and mega resource for affiliate marketers. I did.

Feeling more than a little intimidated by the sheer number of members – 57,400 strong, I signed up today to be part of this affiliate marketing community. Yes I felt like a newbie, but I got out there anyway. When you sign up, make sure not to just blow past the rules. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about – the form comes up, you click OK and don’t read what it says. Well here’s some of what you’ll miss if you do that at A Best Web:

  • You can’t reveal your name or website in your posts.
  • No recruiting anyone for something you’re selling – BIG no-no!
  • You earn the right to display a signature or send private message other members after you make 250 posts.
  • And break the rules and you’ll be banned and banished.

So it’s a commitment to join this forum. But my sense is that if you participate, read and post, you’ll get back tenfold for your efforts. Ask questions, get to know not only affiliates like us but the affiliate managers who are members. Learn everything you can on how to make money and how to get a life in affiliate marketing. The information is all there for the taking over at A Best Web. After you register, look me up and give a shout to a fellow affiliate marketing newbie. I’m “Midlifetrip”.

Now turn off your computer and take a break!

So, you’re an extreme newbie wanting to make money online as an affiliate marketer, are you? Even if you’re just getting started, like us, you probably have already noticed how much information there is out there about affiliate marketing and how overwhelming it can be? Do you wish there was just one book – one handy reference source with all the basics to get you up and running? Well there is – the Super Affiliate Handbook and we have it in our hot little hands!  And yes, the links here are our very own affiliate link.

The Super Affiliate Handbook was written by veteran affiliate marketer, Rosalind “Ros” Gardiner. She’s a legendary “super affiliate” which means for us extreme newbies that she consistently makes a boatload of money (try $400 000 and that was a few years ago). Ros’s Super Affiliate Handbook has everything you need to go from rank amateur to super affiliate money making machine in no time flat.

What Sets it Apart

Let’s be candid here – we visited Amazon.com and there are plenty of books there and other e-books online that deal with the subject of Internet marketing and, specifically, affiliate marketing.  But our basic research shows (we bought a few of those other books) that the Super Affiliate Handbook really goes into detail, and gives you step-by-step instructions that you can follow easily (that’s a biggie for us) and replicate.

What Ros has done in her book is create a road map to Internet and affiliate marketing success. Instead of broad generalities, and rough ideas, Ros delivers concise instructions and detailed information. We like the fact that she takes you from conceptualizing to strategies on setting up your site and monetizing it.  The Super Affiliate Handbook even gives you a detailed breakdown of how to track your results (hopefully that means “success” at some point in the near future).  Ros makes it easy for anyone to build a firm foundation for becoming an accomplished affiliate.

What it Covers

In the Super Affiliate Handbook,” Ros includes:

•    Determining whether you have what it takes to make it in the very competitive world of affiliate marketing (take note extreme newbies – everyone successful affiliate started from the beginning).
•    How to brainstorm your business, and create a business plan.
•    Software recommendations – but not just any software – the same software she uses herself for her mega earning affiliate sites.
•    Information on how to find the best, biggest earning affiliate products.
•    Everything you ever wanted to know about how to market affiliate products.

This is just a small sampling from what is probably one of the most comprehensive affiliate marketing guides out there today. Whether you are already an affiliate, looking to improve your game or whether you’re an extreme newbie who’s never sold anything online, the Super Affiliate Handbook is a must-have, detailed reference guide.

Newbies Starting At “GO” With AffiloBlueprint

If you’re an “extreme newbie” like we are then you may be bumbling along trying to figure out how to make money online, which is rumored to be completely possible for anyone.  And we believe it!! But for two 50-something sisters who came to online marketing later in life, it’s a BIG learning curve which is why we recommend that you get all the help you can. That’s where AffiloBlueprint comes in – the place where we took our baby steps into the world of affiliate marketing.

First of all, it’s a video based course. So no thumbing through pages, trying to figure out the terminology while Googling. Nope, just easy to follow “real life” demonstrations with all the info you need right on your computer screen. Never fear though, the course notes are there for viewing or download if you want them.

Then, there’s the fact that the creator, Mark Ling from New Zealand, takes you through the exact process he used to get from zero earnings to $500 a week in a niche he knows nothing about! Which means that even if you know nothing about affiliate marketing, you can replicate his process and get the same (or better) results. Works for us.

What You Get

AffiloBlueprint is a 12-week study program, which takes you through Mark simple process to affiliate super earning. Since it’s on video, it’s also easy to skip backwards and forwards through the lessons while you set up your first site. In fact, it’s a little like having your own personal affiliate marketing coach on-call.  No paging or scrolling, looking for that one crucial piece of information you remember reading somewhere. Just go to the week where Mark presents the lesson and rewind and fast forward to your heart’s content.

What we found is that you can pop these videos on and create your affiliate marketing business at the same time (and at your own pace if 12 weeks seems like a rush).

Why We Love It!

Did we mention that it’s on video?  But seriously, AffiloBlueprint accommodates different learning styles. Besides that, if you’re an extreme newbie to affiliate marketing, this is really, really simple to follow.  Just note: we’re guessing that the pace of AffiloBlueprint might be a little slow if you already know something about Internet marketing and how to set up a website.

If you’re not quite ready yet to start AffiloBlueprint, Mark offers a DIY method of learning affiliate marketing through his main website – Affilorama. Here you can find more than seven hundred articles on Internet marketing, a list of high earning keywords, and free software to spruce up your blog and create a really nifty splash page.

A lot of content on Affilorama is free. And if all that info whets your appetite for more, sign up for Mark’s premium level membership.

Bottom line – Mark Ling really makes it easy to understand the sometimes complex, confusing (to us) terminology and ideas that make up the world of Internet affiliate marketing. If you are an extreme newbie and want a simple, easy to follow money making system (with some great hand-holding), check out AffiloBlueprint. We’re just in the middle of the program but here’s our verdict:

Definitely money well spent for us. To see if AffiloBlueprint might be for you, click on the green button at the top of this article.
