When I got the latest issue of Revenue magazine, the first thing I noticed was a two-page ad on pages 2-3 with the headline, “Become a Super Affiliate.”

The ad was for a new e-book by Jeremy Palmer, founder of QuitYourDayJob.com, called High Performance Affiliate Marketing.

I met Jeremy at CJU in September 2005, and I know he’s the real deal. In addition to being a Certified Commission Junction Performer, he also claims to have made over $1,000,000 in commissions last year. At CJU 2005, he won the Horizon Award for Innovation.

So I was anxious to read what he had to say. And I’ve got to say I was not disappointed.

Jeremy opens the kimono and shares the step by step details for excelling in affiliate marketing. It’s a quick read of 141 pages across five chapters:

1. Affiliate Marketing 101

2. Finding Products and Services to Promote
3. Keywords - The Foundation of Your Success
4. Build a Website That Sells
5. Driving Traffic to Your Website

I’ll be honest - I’ve been at this from the affiliate side for nearly a decade, so I didn’t come into reading High Performance Affiliate Marketing with great expectations. I figured it would reinforce some ideas and remind me of things I’ve been meaning to try.

But I was happily surprised to find lots of meat. I generally consider it a success if I walk away from a marketing book with one or two action items. I’ve got seven things from this book (no, I’m not going to share which things were new to me) that are already action items in process.

This book will be a great asset to affiliate marketing newbies and grizzled veterans alike.
