First of all, if you've never before heard about Andy Williams, I highly recommend that you visit his site at ezseonews.com and especially his blog, update usually on Sundays. Andy is really fantastic and shares a lot of common-sense knowledge about niche marketing, research, tools and products. He also offers some of his own products, which usually are worth having (I own some, I will write on them soon).

Today, I would like to draw you attention to one of the greatest and most comprehensive affiliate manuals ever written. Andy is the man behind this manual. The second best thing about this manual, besides it being so great, is that it is completely free and you can download it right away.

Believe me, it's not like many other free ebooks that you've seen in the past. It's the most solid, common-sense knowledge - 170 pages of it, in fact!

So, don't hesitate and get your copy here.

A short explanation is probably in place here, as I've not posted any quick links before. I will try to direct you to some interesting and sometimes even brilliant articles, written by others, related to niche marketing, tools and making money online :-). Without further ado, here come the first two ones.
