 | Influence: Science and Practice (4th Edition) by Robert B. Cialdini Amazon Price: $15.63 Used Price: $5.15 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 Review (rating: 2): I did not buy the book to find out how to schnook the unsuspecting, but that's pretty much what I learned. Or learned a -bit- of. After reading Woodward and Denton's far superior Persuasion & Influence in American Life, Cialdini's work seems like densely worded overkill attempting to concretize a mere seven worthwhile, but very simple concepts. These seven concepts could have easily been dealt with in a magazine article: 1) Conditioned, co-dependent, people-pleasing "reciprocation;" 2) post-purchase "committment" to fend off cognitive dissonance; 3) peer-conscious, approval-seeking, run-with-the-pack "social proof" in place of actual evidence; 4) acquiescence to seduction or "liking the friendly thief;" 5) socially conditioned acceptance of "authority;" 6) anxiety-driven fear of "scarcity" (or not ge... |
 | Search Engine Optimization: Your visual blueprintfor effective Internet marke... by Kristopher B. Jones Amazon Price: $19.79 Used Price: $16.43 Average Customer Rating: 5.0 Review (rating: 5): I have never met Kris Jones, but know many people in the Internet marketing industry who have a lot of respect for him. I actually own an Internet marketing company, [...], and one of the services we offer is Internet marketing training. We have created our own materials that we use in our training programs, but we are now making plans to use this book instead. The book is filled with the same information that we teach every day to our customers, but the way that it is laid out is extremely easy to understand and implement. The last thing I must say is that Kris isn't a "feel good" kind of guy. He says it how it is. Internet marketing is an extremely time consuming thing and he tells you that. There are no "black hat" techniques taught that will get you banned from the SERPS. This book could (... |
 | A Practical Guide to Affiliate Marketing: Quick Reference for Affiliate Manag... by Evgenii Prussakov Amazon Price: $19.79 Used Price: $20.09 Average Customer Rating: 5.0 Review (rating: 5): The day I agreed to take on the Affiliate Program Manager position at the company I worked for, I realized that I had some learning to do. I quickly found a bunch of different resources online that pointed me to this book. It is a quick read. Took me three evenings without dedicating too much time to it. I feel I was able to soak in a ton. Geno's book really motivated me to immerse myself in the biz. I think it will do the same for you. |
 | The E-Code: 33 Internet Superstars Reveal 43 Ways to Make Money Online Almost... by Joe Vitale Amazon Price: $13.57 Used Price: $8.50 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 Review (rating: 1): No solid information is given in this book. A vague idea is presented, and then the authors give a link to one of thier websites. It is almost as if they wrote this book to get more traffic to thier websites. Here is the plot of this book: Get a whole bunch of e-mails (they dont really tell you how) and then send them a bunch of e-mails promoting your product every couple days. Waste of time. |
 | Affiliate Millions: Make a Fortune using Search Marketing on Google and Beyond by Anthony Borelli Amazon Price: $16.47 Used Price: $12.08 Average Customer Rating: 3.5 Review (rating: 1): As someone who has spent over a decade on the Internet, I understand the fundamentals of the building of a tool or the utilization of a tool that can be used to generate money online. If you understand this too, then skip this one. This book is for the complete novice. BUT if that novice buys it, they will regret it because they will spend hours and hours toiling to get to an expert level of understanding on how to build and utilize a system such as this and then be faced with the same outcome I was. There is absolutely no recommendation for products and services that do well in this environment. All of the check copies posted in the book were dated from 2005 which most folks know was the hay-day of the search marketplace and literally was the first year in existence for the pay-per-click marketp... |
 | Successful Affiliate Marketing for Merchants (Que-Consumer-Other) by Shawn Collins Amazon Price: $18.15 Used Price: $12.95 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 Review (rating: 5): If you are new to Affiliate Marketing and got the job to manage your companies Affiliate Program or want to get this job, you should buy this book. It is also an item that should be in the library of a bigger company with a large in-house managed Affiliate Program as reference for new Employees but also for your Veterans. Marketing and/or technical skills and background certainly help with the job as Affiliate Manager, but most important are communication skills and the knowledge about what makes affiliates "tick". This book, although in certain areas a bit outdated, holds up as being the most comprehensive print work available to this day, with everything you need to know to start, manage and grow a successful Affiliate Program. You will never get as much condensed knowledge and practical expe... |
 | The Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 in One Year Selling Other P... by Rosalind Gardner Amazon Price: $53.10 Used Price: $59.50 Average Customer Rating: 3.5 Review (rating: 5): I was trying to make sense of the Affiliate Marketing concept and it was very difficult to make sense of the tons of information available online on the topic. Rosalind takes you step by step and introduce new concepts on a clear and fun way. I read it from back to back and now use it as a reference book. If you want to learn what is Affiliate Marketting all about, this is the book. Another thing I really like is that the author invites you to action on every step with very specific instructions. |

 | Affiliate Cash Flow Marketing by David Hancock Amazon Price: $19.99 Average Customer Rating: 3.0 Review (rating: 4): 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.
