I purchased this book to help me build an Internet affiliate marketing business. I have to say this book provide ZERO information regarding Internet affiliate marketing. The book seems to be a large book of affiliate links for Mr. Hancock. It also seems like a sounding off point for Mr. Hancock to toot his own horn. Your money is better spent elswhere, especially for the 12.99 price.

the contents of the book looked really good and interesting so i was excited to get started. i must say i am quite disappointed after finishing the book. i have to say that 99% of the book was nothing new. it did not talk about any of the different affiliate programs out there as i thought it would. i have studied marketing very little but i knew most of the things in the book just from reading magazines and common sense. after finishing most chapters i felt there should be much more info so it felt very incomplete. also at the end of each chapter the author referred the reader to his own website for more info and details, so i did as he instructed and found that the majority of the links were dead links and the ones that worked only led you to purchase another product ( which the author gets credit for i'm sure ). there was no additional info to follow up as said at the end of the chapters. also in the beginning the author tells the reader to go to an address of the biggest affiliate program out there...???...well the url is a name that had just been registered (at 29 bucks per domain!!)...i eventually did find what he was talking about so i suspect by adding a two letter word in front of the already existing address he's purchased that one for himself. to summarize i will say that it was written well and worth the one idea i got out of it at $9.99, if you pay more you'll be mad...good for beginner but if you have experience in this field then look beyond this book and don't waste your time.

Okay, I've read a ton of ebooks, such as those you can download for free at free-ebooks.net, and when I download a free ebook I expect to see links ot the author's affiliate products. Like a tv commerical, that's the price of admission, which is fine. However, now this tendency to advertise your products and website links in your book is becomng so widespread, virtually every book you read tries to upsell you on the author's back-end products and services.

Other than the plethora of self promotng ads in this book, the ideas about affiliate marketing are valid and worthwhile to the beginning internet marketer. My one problem with this book is that it is now going on 4 years old--ancient history in internet terms. For a current book on this subject, you may want to check out the one listed below.

I bought this and about half a dozen other books on affiliate marketing recently to help design our soon to be launched affiliate program. This was one of the better ones and had several useful gems of insight that made the $12 price for the used copy I bought on Amazon well worth the investment.
