But you can make extra money if you do it right.
Learn how to come up with ideas for affiliate sites, create content, drive traffic, and make money with the site.
Wondering why you should read Shawn's book?
Well, he's been an affiliate since 1997. He also managed affiliate programs for ten years, and co-founded the Affiliate Summit conference in 2003. He's done this stuff every day since the 90's and he knows what works.
Also, you've probably seen books, ebooks, courses, etc. that claim they can teach you how to get rich quick. He doesn't do that. You won’t get rich quick as an affiliate. You probably won’t get rich slow, either. But it’s a great way to earn an extra $50, $100, or more a month.

This book is a great resource. I'd recommend it as a guide through the process of setting up a website and then building its revenue theough affiliate marketing.
There are step by step instructions that are not so detailed as to make you want to watch grass grow, but not so vague as to make you wonder if there is a catch or trick that you missed.
Shawn lays out the steps simply and in a straight forward manner. Ay reader might easily find alternative methods from time to time as he leaves pleanty of room for research, updates, and experimentation.
Put simply, I've guided many people through some of the topics covered by Shawn, but I too still learned quite a lot from this book and I've been doing this for about seven years.
That is why I say Shawn makes a false claim when he tells experienced people to read no further. Ignore than warning and continue. You might read a thing or two you already know, but odds are you will find something very useful. I met Shawn about 4-5 years ago, so I knew right away that I was probably gong to be able to learn something new from a guy that has been working at this twice as long, if not more than I have.
Final point: I've read quite a bit by others in this industry and personally I felt like Shawn was sharing very good advice. It was trustworthy and not subject to the motivations sometimes held in reserve by 'gurus' sellng a training package or something. This was just sweet and simple and useful.
