Every Last Piece of Information You Need to Make a Killing Online!

Affiliate Marketing - I like my money fast and also have the ability to take as much time off as I want - no customers as such, no deadlines etc.

SEO. That's my field of expertise.

What I mean is what source of information/guidance would you choose in these different categories.

For example in affiliate marketing, what is the best ebook/membership site/audio/video/etc. product you've used to help you learn affiliate marketing?

I can't say I have a single product that made the difference for me, or even a short list. However, probably the thing that made me painfully aware of how little I knew was when I decided to develop my own program. You almost can't imagine how much I learned during the research, testing and writing of the program.

During the testing process, I found some methods of driving traffic that were much more effective in gettig traffic to my sites than I had been using, and a couple that resulted in very fast hops to page one on Google that I certainly didn't expect, based on previous results. At this point, I'm far from done with the research and development, but feel at this time, I have a solid product that can work for anyone in any niche. Can it be better? You bet, and I'm sure I'll be making revisions to it as time goes on, along with several other reports, ebooks, videos and other materials along the way.

Want to really learn something? Try to teach it, sit iin the student's seat, and then answer the unstated questions any student would have. What I thought would be a hundred pages or so turned into over 400 pages and well over 65,000 words.

Choosing between so many good choices is hard but here are some of mine:

General Marketing/Strategy (USP, Target Market, etc.): Robert Allen's "Mutliple Streams of Internet Income" has 3 or 4 chapters that are absolutely golden and in a concise way explains everything you need to know about marketing.
Jay Abraham's "Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got" is meatier.
Allen's "Private Posts Volume 1" (available in the War Room) is killer (when's volume 2 due Allen?).
Early To Rise and anything Clayton Makepeace says is also up there.
Sorry that's more than 1.

General Business (Taxes, Accounting, Legal, Insurance, Customer Service, etc.): "The E-Myth" is very good even though it doesn't talk specifically about things like taxes or accounting. Following its principles though can make all these kinds of tasks much easier.

Self Development (from a business standpoint - consistency, overcoming procrastination, focus, etc.): "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and Denis Waitley's "The Psychology of Winning".

Product Creation (Ebooks/Reports, Membership Sites, Audio/Video, Digital/Physical, etc.): Make Your Knowledge Sell is a good foundation for anyone. Don't worry that it's a little old - the principles still work today.

Copywriting: Make Your Words Sell.

List Building: Several of Jimmy Brown's products are very good. Not sure what all is still available due to him retiring his current products.

Technical (PC Problems, Using Word/Excel/whatever, HTML/Web Design, Security): There isn't a one book that fits all these categories but the Dummies series has some pretty decent titles.

SEO: Make Your Site Sell. Again don't get confused because it's a few years old. The basics of SEO have not changed the last few years. Content, backlinks, certain tags and on page factors are all in the book. And it's not just about SEO and traffic but getting people to buy.

Very good question, Mark, but it's hard to narrow things down to just one product for each category (for me at least). I think the majority of us have learned from so many myriad sources it'd be hard to pin things down to just one solitary product in any one area.
