The Complete Guide to Associate & Affiliate Programs on the Net: Turning Clicks Into Cash
$21.95
Most of the advice from this book is still relevant, generate a high volume site that is 'sticky' for users and pick appropriate affiliate schemes. It does provide useful advice e.g. to utilize your existing web sites and links to help build volume.

In isolation, this book is insufficient. Unless you already have a good traffic volumes, you will have to gain an understanding of search engine positioning and viral marketing to get your site traffic up. Only good content will get people to stay. If you are writing content just to generate affiliate sells (some people do), you should be looking at how you can generate more income from the content than affiliate sells only (e.g. do you have a related product or service you can sell?).

Since 1999, affiliate programs have come, gone and changed. In this respect the book is out of date. Good introduction but showing its age - affiliate sells should be part of an overall strategy unless your doing it for pocket money.

Bonusblog--New Bloggers & Affiliate Marketers
$0.99
I think it is totally cool that my blog is on Kindle not only because it's my blog but because I am a big Kindle fan. In fact I'm counting the days til my Wall Street Journal home subscription runs out so I can go to the Kindle version and have it waiting for me when I wake up.

My blog is for new bloggers and affiliate marketers. Everyone starts somewhere and there is a lot of worthless information and hype out there. I know, because I have bought my share of it. If you are a newbie, I hope to steer you in the right direction. You will not be hearing about how to earn a zillion dollars in a week from me. Just like any occupation or hobby, you won't be an expert on day one. But the things you need to know are not difficult to learn.

The Kindle version is a good way to get the latest blog to carry with you. [...].
