The Unofficial Fan Website.

After working for twenty years as an air traffic controller, Rosalind Gardner wanted out. She was sick of working long hours to pad the pockets of corporate fat cats. She decided to find a way to work from home online, but she knew she would have to make enough money to live comfortably and pay for her retirement. So she dreamed big, and the rest is affiliate marketing history.

In 1997, while she was still working her day job in air traffic control, she slowly but surely got together enough knowledge to launch her first website. It was devoted to gardening. When she was approached by a banner ad company that wanted her to advertise a dating site, she realized the opportunity available for profits with affiliate marketing. In her first month, she earned a whopping $10.99, but by the end of her first year, she was making $5000 each month. By the time she started clearing $10,000 a month in 2000, she was ready to bid farewell to her day job.

The title of her most famous marketing manual, “The Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 in One Year Selling Other People’s Stuff Online,” says it all. That was her annual income in 2002. In a short time, Gardner learned how to make online marketing work for her. Klaus Dahl’s website, The Direct Marketing Review, says this about The Super Affiliate Handbook: “This is a fantastic book! One of the absolutely best books I’ve ever read on Affiliate Marketing – maybe even the best.”

Today, she is the CEO of Webvista, Inc., as well as an acclaimed author, public speaker and business consultant. She is very sought after for her wisdom and knowledge about affiliate marketing. He column, “Affiliates’ Corner” is published in Revenue magazine, and she often speaks at industry conferences like the Affiliate Summit and the Affiliate Convention, AdTech and more, despite her initial fear of public speaking which she learned to overcome. Her internet marketing blog is available at www.netprofitstoday.com. It is down to earth and informative. You can even ask Rosalind a question if you can’t find the answer to your dilemma in her blog archives.

Gardner also writes at travel blog at www.roamsters.com. She is passionate about travel, and she also enjoys hiking, yoga, fine dining and top-notch beer. She currently resides in Penticton, British Columbia in Canada.
