Meet the Mentors: Rosalind Gardner

I have been following Rosalind Gardner’s online career for three years.
When she wanted me to find out how she made $436,797 selling other people’s stuff online, I joined her mailing list, Net Profits Today.

The quality that most resonated with me was Rosalind’s laid-back approach. I didn’t know it at the time, but her mailing list and the Net Profits Today website are what is known as relationship building. You don’t drive hard sales copy in this type of environment. That comes later, on the sales page website.

So, I never sensed any hard-sell coming from Rosalind. In turn, that allowed me to open up my mind to the stories she shared in her weekly newsletters. From commonsense to “aha” moments, she covered a lot of territory. I learned much about the interesting world of affiliate marketing and joint ventures (JV).

After two years of email newsletters, Rosalind decided to add a blog to her website. It has been quite a transformation! Now, her emails consist of links to different areas in her blog, as well as the website.

Of course, she continues to promote her own product:

Read the amazing true story of how one woman, with no previous business experience, earns 400,000+ per year … selling other people’s stuff online!
In her down-to-earth, sincere and often humorous style, Rosalind Gardner guides you through the entire process of building an affiliate marketing business on the ‘Net. In 236 pages, and more than 68,000 words, you’ll learn how to pick the best programs, negotiate a commission raise and save time, money and effort on everything from affiliate software to web hosting.

In her blog, Rosalind posted a very interesting critique of a sales pitch. Affiliate Marketing Sham A Lesson in Marketing, discusses the good and bad points of this “report”.
It struck me that she reinforced many of the same things that I wrote about in my article Don’t Believe the Hype. The key concept, upon which we both agree, is to do your research. Don’t just accept any claims made by marketers.
