Turn Every Commercial Link into Revenue Despite processing billions in transactions, affiliate marketing remains misunderstood and underutilized. Many advertisers leave money on the table by ignoring this performance-based channel, while content creators miss opportunities to monetize the value they generate.

Written by an industry pioneer with experience spanning Zappos, Shoes.com, Edmunds.com, the Performance Marketing Association, the agency Schaaf-PartnerCentric, and FMTC, this book provides the knowledge advertisers, agencies, and creators need to capture the full value of their commercial content.
