Affiliate Marketing Guides - How to Avoid Affiliate Marketing Guide Scams

Okay, so if you are in the internet and affiliate marketing business, you have probably bought several
"How to make $1000 a day" guides in order to increase your profits.
Like me, you have probably discovered that the majority of the ebooks like this are scams or they are outdated and
don't provide you with the information you need. Quite frankly, I'm a little disturbed by the plethora of useless
ebooks out there on the topic.

Affiliate marketing guides come in two forms: those that provide useful information and those that are simply scams targeted towards affiliate marketers that are desperate to find a way to sell their affiliate products and save their failing campaigns.

The fact is, affiliate marketing is a business and it needs to be treated like a business in order to be successful in the long run. Most guides that are scams are those that promise you'll start making money the first day you put their techniques to use. Honestly, I haven't found a single guide that fulfills this promise. However, it doesn't mean that these types of guides don't have a little truth to them. Many of the techniques they provide work in conjunction with other more reliable techniques so purchasing these guides is not always without some benefit if you have already taken the steps to create your business.

The most useful guides are those that help you set up your business by providing information on how to set up your business, good advertising techniques that don't rely on violating your terms of service or false advertisement of your product. So far the only guide that I have found that does this is the Super Affiliate Handbook.

The benefit of the Super Affiliate Handbook is that it is a business model and not a get rich quick guide. The Super Affiliate Handbook takes you from the basics of understanding what it means to be an affiliate marketer, to setting up a full fledged affiliate marketing business. One thing the guide will not tell you is that you will make money starting today and it should really be treated as an affiliate business guide to help you create your affiliate business.

In order to avoid the affiliate marketing guide scams, there are three issues to pay close attention to before buying:

Avoid the Hype

Most affiliate marketing guides that are simply scams have a lot of hype surrounding them. What I have found is that a guide that is really a scam gets a lot of hype and the techniques affiliate marketers use to sell the guide are rather false and misleading. One guide that I feel exemplifies this is Affiliate Project X because it encourages misleading the consumer and violating the terms of service of most affiliate programs.

Avoid False Promises

The second aspect to pay attention to is the promises the guide makes. As in all scams, if the promises sound too good to be true, they probably are. Don't be tempted by these false promises because as with all scams they will most likely end up costing you money in the long run.

Avoid Reactionary Guides

Guides that are reactionary in nature are those that respond to a change in the search engine algorithms either in the organic search or advertising algorithms. This guides usually provide some immediate information to those affected by these changes in such a way that their business is shut down. Those that run are truly running a business usually don't need to rely on these guides in order to continue business because they are not relying on schemes to begin with.

The bottom line is that if you set up your affiliate marketing business as a true business and work to make it grow by using good business strategies rather than relying on schemes, the potential for your business to profit increases.
