She quickly became successful and today is a sought after speaker at various affiliate conferences and summits.

Affiliate Marketing Strategy: Rosalind makes use of the time tested strategy: Make a good site which gives information to people and recommend them product and services. She also believes in building an opt in email list and building a relationship with them over a period of time. Her primary website is Sage-hearts.com (opens in new window).It now has over 70,000 subscribers and generates around $30,000 -$50,000 per month. Her traffic strategy is biased towards pay per click but also makes use of other simple methods.
Review: The Super affiliate handbook has been written with the total beginner in mind. Rosalind has been in the business since 1998 and gives solid advice based on her experience. A lot of my precious time in the beginning was wasted floating around in forums and trying to understand the industry. There is a lot of misinformation floating on the internet, too much hype and too much misjudgment regarding affiliate marketing. Super affiliate handbook contains all doubts, tips and suggestions a beginner needs to know to enter the industry in a well informed manner. A few highlights from the book
Myths / misconceptions in internet marketing
- Understanding the Affiliate lifestyle
- Understanding basics of the affiliate business
- Researching profitable ideas
- How to build a website and tools required.
- How to choose affiliate programs
- 29 ways to drive traffic to your website
The book is well structured and deliberately written.
Who Should Buy: If you are a total beginner the book is for you. To implement the advice you would need additional training: a good book on Seo or Pay per click would be necessary. If you are an intermediate affiliate I would recommend Jeremy Palmer's ebook.
How it helped me: I started affiliate marketing after reading a money making ebook which still sells today. The notorious ebook taught tips and tactics to make money by sending traffic directly to merchants. Like thousands I found only disappointment. After reading Rosalind’s book I realized that I have no business if don’t have a website. A good, sustainable business always helps people and builds a relationship. I use her approach in many of my websites.
Rating: Excellent for total beginners. Fair if you made your first dollar online.
