I had the chance to read this entire book and I loved it. I have been in the internet affiliate marketing world for around 10 years now and found that there were a lot of things in this book that I needed to start doing, or do better. The book of 88 authors seem to all have differences in opinions but great ideas. This is not a Make Money with Google book, this is a book that will tell you the concepts behind their ideas. Some of the 88 authors tell you how they did it others tell you the mentality behind their thoughts. The Affiliate Marketing book is an excellent way for a beginner to jump a few years ahead of the rest of the people starting in affiliate marketing and know what to do. I would recommend it to everyone. I even bought my Mother and Father the book so that they can actually understand what I do. I loved it.

The Checklist
Before the bill hits your state:
1. Find out who your local representatives are – do the research ahead of time
2. Contact your legislators and start some dialog now while you don’t need them for anything
3. Keep in touch with your representatives – when the time comes you want them to already know you and your story
4. Reach out to not only your politicians but others in your area that will fight on your side – team work is key
5. Start a mailing with including specifically those in your area in the industry so you can stay connected when you need each other most.
6. Know your local resources – who has media connections, you already has close relationships with their leaders, etc.
7. Work on a game plan ahead of time – who is likely to get involved – also, who in the industry will help from outside of the state.
When the bill is actively being discussed:
1. Connect with local Affiliates that will be likely to fight with you.
2. Keep your chatter about tactics to closed communication with only those directly involved – others are always listening, don’t share your game plan with the universe by tweeting and blogging your every move.
3. Get a hold of information you can share with the legislators – the PMA helped us with this.
4. Plan a “Visit the capital” field trip day – gather a group of people to go literally door-to-door talking with leaders in the area. If you can, try to plan far enough ahead so you can schedule appointments. In Colorado, we had zero lead time so we just showed up. We did, however, make sure to be mindful of the legislators’ busy schedules.
5. Write letters and make phones calls.
6. Repeat 1-5 until the battle is over
7. Read up on the Colorado Tax Battle.
General food for thought
1. Have a unified message among your whole group
2. Keep in touch with each other – communication is a key to a successful game plan
3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help
4. If you have some skill or knowledge that can benefit everyone, share. You’re in this together, so fight together.
5. for a little more insight on this perspective, read Things I Learned from battling the government
Remember, these are real people you are talking to. You need to be mindful not to completely wear out your welcome in the sense that if you bombard too much, people will stop listening. But make sure not to give in the first week just because things aren’t looking good. By all means, when they ask you to stop because their inbox is too full, really think about that before you stop sending messages… maybe their inbox is too full because there are so many of you that have written – the legislators work for you, they know it, they need to listen to you when you have a real issue.
In the end, remember to say thank you.
Special thanks to those who helped me along the way while I was sorting out this learning curve! You know who you are, yes, there’s brownies in it somewhere.
