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 Blogger,
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!
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.

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).

Advertising On Your Blog To Make Money
Here are the good networks to use when putting ads on your blog:
TTZ Media Network
John Chow’s ad network. It’s ideal for technology and shopping related sites. TTZ Media provides product based ads that are trigger by keywords. The ads show products that are based on the keywords entered and a list of stores where the products can be purchased. A reader clicking on the product will be taken to the store offering the product for sale. Money is generated with a CPC model. A reader need only click on the banner and visit the advertiser in order for the site to make money. The reader does not have to purchase the product from the advertiser. CPC rates are based on product categories and number of clicks the affiliate can generate. Our tech/review site based affiliates realize eCPM as high as $12.
Performancing Ads
Make by bloggers for bloggers, Performancing Ads is the market place for the 125×125 ad button, which has slowly become the ad format of choice for bloggers who wants to make money online. Publishers enjoy a 60% revenue share and free placement in the Performancing Ads market place. They also offer a life time referral program that you’ll definitely want to get in on.
Kontera ContentLink
Kontera ContentLink allows you to make money from advertising without giving up any current advertising spots. Their technology reads your post and turns certain words into an ad. The highlighted words are double underline and an ad pops up when you hover over it. Normally Kontera requires a site have a minimum 500,000 page views per month before being accepted into the program. However, I have a partnership with Kontera that will allow smaller blogs to use their ContentLink service.
Pepperjam Network
Pepperjam Network represents an evolution in affiliate marketing. The creation of Pepperjam Network represents eight years of research and development and the combined ideas, feedback, and intelligence of hundreds of affiliate marketers and advertisers. Pepperjam Network offers a quick and easy way to get started in affiliate marketing with the pepperjamADS.
Text Link Ads
Text Link Ads is one of my favorite ad networks. They help me make money online by selling those text links you see under “Featured Sites.” The links offer advertisers traffic and search engine benefits and readers don’t seem to mind them at all because they are not intrusive. Your link price is set by Text Link Ads and is based on Alexa, Google PageRank, number of RSS subscribers, and other factors.
Bidvertiser
Bidvertiser, a CPC ad network that competes with Google AdSense. It main advantage over AdSense is its low $10 payout. You only need to make $10 in order to be paid. Big publishers wouldn’t care about this but for many small blogs that are still waiting to hit that magic $100 Google payout level, getting pay at a lower level is quite attractive.
ReviewMe
ReviewMe allows advertisers to buy sponsored reviews on your blog. Review prices are based on your blog’s Alexa, Technorati and estimated RSS numbers. Publishers can set their own pricing if they don’t like the price ReviewMe set. Reviews can be positive or negative. The only requirement is the post must be at least 200 words long.
DealDotCom
DealDotCom offers a two-tier affiliate program. When you refer others to DealDotCom and they get a free account, they are marked in the system as having been referred by you. Anything that they buy will nets you a 35% commission. Unlike other affiliate programs that place a time limit your your commission (like AuctionAds’ 5% for 6 months), the DealDotCom commission is forever. That’s right, forever. It doesn’t matter if they buy something tomorrow, next week, or fifty years from now - you’re going to get paid. What’s more, anyone that they refer to DealDotCom goes on your second tier. Anything people on your second tier buy nets you a 15% commission, forever.
AzoogleAds
AzoogleAds is one of the largest performance-based online advertising networks in the world. They offers some of the best and highest paying affiliate deals in the industry. No matter what topic your blog covers, you can find a deal that matches your site. The payout range from $1 to over $100 per action.
Market Leverage
Market Leverage is another large affiliate network with lots of exclusive offers. Every publisher is assigned his own affiliate manager that will work with him to get the most out of the program. From simple zip submit to high commission sales offer, Market Leverage has it all and they’re great people to work with.
