Affiliate marketing books are designed to answer the questions most novices have about affiliate marketing. They explain how the programs work, what will be expected of the affiliate, and offer advice on locating a good program. While most books are written for the affiliate, there are also books available for affiliate managers and for companies who offer an affiliate program to others.
Are Affiliate Marketing Books Expensive?
Many excellent books are available for free or at a low cost. These are usually e-books, found online. Those purchased at traditional book stores may be more costly, but none are excessively expensive.
What Are Some Good Free Books On Affiliate Marketing?
One of the best is “The Affiliate’s Master Course” by Ken Envoy. At close to 200 pages, this e-book is a how-to guide that covers everything from selecting a program to building a website. They also show how to increase traffic and monitor earnings.
A number of good affiliate marketing books (along with many other topics) can be found at free-ebooks.net. There are some that give an overall perspective of affiliate marketing, while others focus on specific areas, such as search engine optimization.
Another excellent read is the “IAB Affiliate Marketing Guide.” Although, this book is aimed primarily at companies that want to start an affiliate program, there is a wealth of information in it for everyone. This book, and many other helpful guides, is available for free at iabuk.net. (IAB stands for Internet Advertising Bureau. This British agency offers a lot of information for anyone who uses the Internet to promote a business.)
Are There Any Affiliate Marketing Books Available In Audio Format?
Several authors have made all or part of their books available on tape. One of the best is “Luke Jeffrey’s Affiliate Marketing Fast Track” which is available at Amazon and other online retailers. Some offer combination packs that include a printed book or e-book along with an audio, while others sell the components separately.
What Should A Baby Boomer Look For In An Affiliate Marketing Book?
Baby boomers, or anyone new to the Internet, should remember that change can happen (literally) at the speed of light. What was relevant ten years ago may be useless information today. Therefore, when looking for good affiliate marketing books, it is best to stick with more recent releases or at least editions that have been updated recently. These will have the most current information on affiliate programs, although, the basic data may be the same. While there are many excellent books that have been published over the years and are certainly worth reading, if time and money is an issue, it is best to stick to the newer ones.
Where can I find Affiliate Books?
These can be found wherever you normally buy books. Brick and mortar stores such as Barnes & Noble or Waldenbooks carry them, as do most public libraries. Online booksellers, such as Amazon.com, also have a large selection. Specialty sites that cater to affiliates are another good source; one of the most extensive is affiliatebooks.com.

Thanks for this look at affiliate marketing books. Another suggestion is to get involved in forum discussions where there are interchanges of ideas on the subject. Affiliate marketing now is big business.

Hi Geoff
There is lots of information about. It’s just a matter of finding it.
I have read several books on affiliate marketing. Many can be bought online, but you must be careful. Some of them are not worth the time or money. If you get one of these, do not hesitate to ask for your money back!
