Affiliate marketing has changed the way that things are sold on the Internet lately. Retailers have learned that they can sell more if they offer an incentive for other people to promote their merchandise on their behalf. This symbiotic relationship results in improved sales for the retailer and nice commission checks for the affiliate, who advertises the product without having to stock it or sell it.
With the increase in products being sold this way, it is not surprising that a lot of these products would be books that tell you how to make money in this way. Quite a number of products are available that provide suggestions, methods and advice for making money in affiliate marketing. Several of these books have been quite successful, while others are just scams designed to make the authors rich while providing little useful information.
The most recent product to hit the scene in the affiliate marketing is a book titled Affiliate Commandments, written by the author of two previous "hits", Day Job Killer and the ominously named Affiliate Project X. In this book, the author promises a "blueprint" that describes how you can earn affiliate revenue using the very techniques that he has used for success. Does Affiliate Commandments offer genuine value, or is it just another overdescribed book?
The author, Chris McNeeney, does have a previous record of success, and his previous two books did offer sensible advice along the lines of affiliate marketing. Affiliate Commandments is no different. The most surprising thing about Affiliate Commandments is its length; it is not an overly long book. On the other hand, there is no filler. Affiliate Commandments represents refined and distilled versions of the techniques that Chris has talked about in previous books, polished to a bright shine. Even though the book runs only a handful of pages, Chris is able to cover a number of topics that are valuable for affiliate marketers - Choosing a hot product, building a "stable" of products to promote, and how to see if your advertising methods are working. He even offers a modified version of a famed plan that lets you exploit the profitable advertising of others in order to use their techniques to your advantage. Don't know anything about affiliate marketing? That isn't a problem, either, since he includes a beginner's affiliate marketing guide with the purchase.
The marketing world is full of hype, and it can sometimes be difficult to separate the good products from the bad ones. Affiliate Commandments is, on the whole, a well-written, concise and most of all, fairly priced product that should help any marketer earn a bit more than they would otherwise.
