About the Author Dave, aka Zen Duck Dave, author of the blog zenduck.me, born (1973-still alive) has a passion for doing anything he can to avoid working for "The Man". To this end he dedicated himself to learning how to make money online. It all came about when his Wife had to leave him for 3 months to earn money as they were so poor. A few years later and he had found the secret...earning commissions through affiliate links placed on the Interwebs super-highway. He realized that as he was rather articulate he could write blogs and recommend products and earn a nice living in his underwear, and he often even fails to brush his hair for days on end (it's nice and curly though). Now he spends much of his time smoking his pipe and wearing comfy slippers while being fed grapes by semi-clad women (when the Wife is out shopping). If you want to learn how to make a living online then you really should read his publications, they are brilliant.

Dave Knows His Stuff
This book contains a quick rundown of Zen Duck Dave's journey of making cash through affiliate marketing. He writes about what worked in the past and what still works today. My favorite part of the book are the motivational parts. The bottom line is that if you want to make some affiliate cash, you have to take massive action.If you don't have a staff, which most of us don't, you have to do a lot of work. This is where motivation really helps. It's hard to keep working when you don't know for sure if or when the payout is going to come, but you just need to work through it. For new affiliate marketers it's taking a leap of faith.Dave also has a wonderful forum full of bright and successful people. It's open to the public, although moderated, and welcomes people of all skill levels. I enjoyed this book, and I think the forum is even better. 5 stars for the Zen Duck!

Learn The Truth About Making Money With Affiliate Marketing
Zen Duck Dave's newest book details everything he has learned as a successful affiliate marketer. While it's really written for those with at least some background in the subject, I see no reason why a complete beginner couldn't find it useful with the caveat that a lot of research is going to be required to understand everything Dave is talking about. Think of it as an advanced study guide.For those with some background, Dave shares with the reader his wealth of knowledge gained through a lot (and I mean A LOT) of highly successful, and some perhaps less than successful affiliate marketing campaigns. The bottom line is that he has learned through personal experience what works and what doesn't.At the end of the book is perhaps one of the best resource lists you will ever find to help you with your own affiliate marketing work.If you really want to know what it takes to win at affiliate marketing, then this book will let you know just what it takes.

No nonsense guide to affiliate site success!
I've been following Dave's stuff for years and he's one of the few who actually practices what he preaches and makes money from actual online marketing rather than just talking about it and 'teaching' others as some other so-called gurus are guilty of (of course dave would never describe himself as a guru :p)This book doesn't hold your hand right from the start of setting your site up etc but all of that information is widely and freely available. However this doesn't mean that it's not suitable for beginners - rather I would recommend that beginners read this book when they are just starting out. Some of it may go over the top of your head at first but it will all begin to fall into place quickly and you'll be glad you had this information when you started, rather than later!The book is divided into two sections with white hat and black hat (although i would class it as more of a charcoal grey!) approaches. There is of course a lot of overlap between the two and some discussion about where you should concentrate your efforts.In terms of useful info, this book is absolute gold. There are some real nuggets of genius in here and clever ideas that I'd never read anywhere else - even if you're an experienced affiliate marketer you'll be sure to pick up some useful ideas.The last couple of chapters were my favourite - one thing that Dave does really well is be motivational and inspiring and the end of the book is a no-nonsense kick in the bum to remind you that if you don't actually do the work, you will get nowhere.Highly recommended to anyone wanting to make some money online, whatever your level of experience.

If you're ready to give up on the easy $ promised by BS'rs you're in the right place.
This is dead good info, info from an experienced internet marketer that tells you how you can WORK (yes, work god forbid!) to succeed online. None of the 'make 2.6k a week for 2 hours work' crap you might be used to NOT succeeding with.If you're ready to give up on the easy $ promised by BS'rs you're in the right place.Better still? Save your money by just joining Dave's personal forum (pond.zenduck.me)Sorry if sales take a dip Dave! Better they come and get the whole hog from the source IMHO.That said, this book rocks! Most won't know about the REAL site until they have paid for this book, take the shortcut by joining for a month and save a dollar!A few things covered in detail in this book:Keyword research without toolsHow to pick a great nicheBlack hat and white hat SEODeciding on an aged or new domainDesigning your websiteSEO within your websiteMonitoring your websites statisticsAnd all the other boring stuff that goes with making money online. :-DLearner or vet, there is definitely something in here for everyone.

In the trenches info from an actual successful online businessman
This is a real compendium of real info. It is written by Dave, owner of the zenduck.me pond online marketing forum. That real presence online makes his work 10x more credible than the anonymous product salesmen who suggest they know the landscape of making money online (if you just pay them $999 in advance). Dave hears student member questions every day; he answers with the expertise earned in his own very profitable online business.The book takes you through what you need to know. It is for people growing, or even just starting, their online business. It is for people seriously seeking answers, who are willing to take that info and run with it. Read it, and then read it again (it's that good). Then follow his guidelines.
