For those of us in the affiliate marketing space, not much has been published about the merchant or advertiser's side of the business. In a complex, challenging and evolving industry, practical tools and thought leadership are critical. Geno's latest book builds on the subject matter from his previous book and presents it in an even more helpful format. Rather than a list of questions and answers as in the earlier book, this book is laid out as a week-by-week, month-by-month tactical plan for the new or experienced merchant. It should be on every affiliate marketer's bookshelf, whether you are a merchant or an affiliate.It may be debatable whether "an hour a day" is realistic and perhaps it's been over-used, but the premise of allocating, organizing and prioritizing your efforts is spot on. Geno very generously shares the "tricks of the trade" and pulls back the curtain for a detailed look at how a top affiliate program manager plans, sets up, manages, and tweaks a successful affiliate program. The book is well-written and divided into delicious chunks of information that can be digested and assimilated one week at a time--or in one glorious meal if you prefer.Geno's expertise and passion for leadership and management development shine through as he presents an innovative approach to understanding how to motivate and lead affiliates from an organizational development background. For some readers, this chapter may be a bit too academic, but worth consideration nonetheless. He adds to the professionalism of the field with his inclusion of SWOT analysis and other management techniques into the mix for competitive market analysis. His chapter on parasitism and problem affiliates is comprehensive and replete with additional resources on this sticky topic.
