To me, this book presented itself as a collection of articles (poorly edited in some respects) about affiliate marketing for the most part.

The title should have been "Affiliate Marketing From The Real Experts".

The book is an easy read, as most of the articles are pretty short in nature, covering a wide variety of topics...but none in depth. If you're getting started in affiliate marketing, this might be a good "primer" of sorts...but as a resource you'll constantly refer to, in my opinion this book gets low marks.

This book is a good read. It lists a lot of people involved in internet marketing. I would call each person a snippet. Each snippet has valuable info or has a trail to get info about what they think will help you. Worth the purchase price! Absorb the info and be successful.

I really enjoyed reading the articles from many different authors. This is a great book to learn the ins and outs of internet marketing from people who have the experience to back it up. The book is easy to read and gives you great insight, especially for someone who is new to the industry. Great book to keep around for reference.

There are any number of books written by individuals, often more for personal gain than as a vehicle for presenting valuable information. This book shatters that mold by consolidating targeted, actionable articles from some of the best minds in the industry into one, easy to read tome.
No matter what area of online marketing you are interested in, you'll find relevant articles that will help you to succeed.
The only thing that might make it better is if I were included in the book. (maybe next time) :)

There's a lot of crap out there marketed to affiliate newbies. This book isn't crap.

Missy & Shawn have a vested interest in your success as an affiliate marketer. Why? Because they run the Affiliate Summit conferences. As such they've seemingly taken on the mantle of all things affiliate on their shoulders. If you succeed, you're likely to go to the summit.

Running the summit has also provided Missy & Shawn with an opportunity to befriend innovative super affiliates, many of which they feature in the book.

Now, don't expect to gain some super secret tip by reading the book. That isn't going to happen. This book is more about giving you ideas. It's about getting a feel for how the industry leaders think. It's also about blocking & tackling basics that you have to nail if you're going to win.

I had to throw in that football analogy. If you read Shawn's blog, you know he's a big J-E-T-S fan. They're going to lose to the Colts this weekend and you're gonna feel like you got punched in the stomach Shawn. LOL.

Back to the review. Get the book. Read it. It's worth it.

I really enjoyed reading the Internet Marketing from the Real Experts book. The information is quick to go through and has valuable real-world information from experts (such as Geno Prussakov, Mari Smith, Tim Carter & more) you can apply immediately. One book you won't want to share so you can keep for reference.

If this were fiction it would be an anthology of (very) short stories, however it is NOT fiction. This is an education in Affiliate Marketing and all that implies - and likely more valuable than a semester in an MBA program at a "name" school. The people and their "lessons" as presented in this compilation are of real-world experience, not hypothesis.

The best part of this text is that it can be digested in tiny bites. Every lesson in each of the 11 chapters is no more than two pages long. This is a book you can pick up and work on as time allows. Each of the people represented (and, surprisingly, I know a third of them personally) is talented and well respected in several aspects of affiliate marketing. They willingly share "tips of the trade" that help make them each successful in their own right. You will learn a lot - from people who can teach you a lot.

No fluff, no bull; just the facts, as the title states, "from the Real Experts." Overall, an excellent read!

After being in affiliate marketing for the last 8 years, I was skeptical that I could learn more about the "in's and out's" of performance marketing and online marketing overall. I think the thing that sucked me into reading it and making it from cover to cover was that all the contributors to the book are well-known, authoratative, and people I know or have seen be successful. It is important to read this with an open mind knowing that each person has unique points of view. I was able to glean nuggets out of most sections that will be useful for me today, as well as when I encounter new things going forward. I read this on a plane and it was easy to get through in two 2-hour flights.

I love the fact that these 130 tips are short and direct. It makes for a very easy read. When you have 88 of some of the most successful people in the Affiliate Marketing Industry giving you advice in one place, it becomes a must read. I can guarantee I refer to it many times. While you'll have a lot to learn if you want to make money online, the good news is it can be done and these tips will help show you the way. Thanks for Shawn Collins and Missy Ward for putting this together!

The book is so heavy in affiliate marketing, which takes up almost 40% of the content. It is presented in blog style with very condensed bullet points explanation and lack of details or examples. It does give me some insights, but most of the suggestion from expert I've read in many blogs before.
