And you may ask why reading books could be a good time investment, what with the industry evolving so fast \u2014 surely more dynamic mediums like podcasts, blogs, or online videos are a more effective route to staying on top of things?\u00a0<\/p><p>Yes, that much is true. Books don\u2019t evolve, except maybe a new edition every couple of years for some of them.<\/p><p>Dynamic content is better for staying informed about the latest &amp; greatest tactical innovations and platform updates, but the plethora of information out there makes this like drinking through a firehose. There\u2019s more information out there than ever before, but that means there\u2019s also more\u00a0<i>bad<\/i>\u00a0information out there than ever before.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s a double-edged sword. Books that are a few to several years old won\u2019t be up to date with every nuance, but by their very nature of being around for a while a natural selection process has a chance to set in; bad content doesn\u2019t keep selling, while good ideas have timeless value.<\/p><p>The same thing happens in music. Is music from the 70s that much better than music today?<\/p><p>Or is it that after fifty years, the only music still being played from that era is the cream of the crop?<\/p><p>So think about books as a fantastic channel for knowledge that by their very nature already sift some of the good ideas from the bad.\u00a0<\/p><p>Still not convinced? If there\u2019s one thing that seems to unite successful people, it\u2019s reading. And not just reading tabloids or the latest fiction phenomenon, but reading intently to grow their knowledge.<\/p><p>Warren Buffett famously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/personalfinance\/2014\/08\/24\/peculiar-habits-of-successful-people\/14447531\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">reads 500 pages a day<\/a>, Bill Gates carries around thirty pounds of books\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/carminegallo\/2019\/09\/27\/the-tote-bag-that-goes-everywhere-with-bill-gates-holds-the-secret-to-his-success\/?sh=374a9523b75b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">in a tote bag<\/a>\u00a0wherever he goes (Spartan founder Joe De Sena should consider a big book bag<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spartan.com\/blogs\/unbreakable-race-stories\/why-is-this-man-carrying-a-kettlebell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">\u00a0instead of his kettlebell<\/a>), Elon Musk\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/news-politics\/a16681\/elon-musk-interview-1212\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">learned how to build rockets<\/a>\u00a0by devouring books, and Oprah Winfrey calls books her \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/what-successful-people-read-2017-7#oprah-winfrey-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">personal path to freedom<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7a66455 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7a66455\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c1ff378\" data-id=\"c1ff378\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3346acd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3346acd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.19.0 - 29-01-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">One Thought for Reading Effectively <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1db2704 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1db2704\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-efef9d8\" data-id=\"efef9d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-455a2cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"455a2cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I don\u2019t remember where I first heard this, but I love this heuristic for determining if a new book is worth your time: 100 pages minus your age.\u00a0<\/p><p>Read 100 pages minus your age before deciding whether to keep going or shelve the book for something more worthwhile.

All we want is a bit of analytical rigour behind these recommendations, but not so much that we drown in numbers \u2014 we\u2019re a no-b.s., data-driven company, but we keep things fun.\u00a0<\/p><p>Structured decision making is just the process of assigning points to things you want to analyze &amp; compare based on characteristics you think are important. You can use it for comparing big things like possible business decisions, or which restaurant to eat at. Or books!<\/p><p>Here\u2019s my quick &amp; dirty rubric:<\/p><ol><li aria-level=\"1\">First up, crowdsourcing. I searched \u201cbest books to learn affiliate marketing\u201d and clicked on the first 10 articles. I went through each article and gave one point each time a book was mentioned in one of the lists. So if a particular book made six of the ten \u201cbest of\u201d articles, it got six points. There was more variability in these ten lists than I anticipated: 27 books made the spreadsheet, but to keep the focus on only the best I narrowed it to the six books that received at least five points apiece.\u00a0<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Next, check for valuable content. For those six, I looked up their Amazon review rating and accompanying number of reviews. After all, sample size matters \u2014\u00a0a great review score holds more weight if it\u2019s the result of 10,000 ratings rather than 10. Then I assigned a score to each on a scale from 1-5, five being the best and one the worst, based on each book\u2019s combination of overall review score and number of reviews.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Lastly, a popularity contest. I pulled each book\u2019s rank in Amazon\u2019s Books category and assigned each a score on that same 1-5 scale based on how popular each is. When looking at these numbers in the table below, remember, that a lower rank is better.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a4cb278 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a4cb278\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-71c3b7b\" data-id=\"71c3b7b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e55686c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e55686c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Results<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4cfdf05 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4cfdf05\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d6b5178\" data-id=\"d6b5178\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6601732 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6601732\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>So without further ado, the results!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d35a5b5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d35a5b5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c44a73\" data-id=\"2c44a73\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faab42d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"faab42d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/geniuslink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Aff-marketing-book-results.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-785\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/geniuslink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Aff-marketing-book-results.png 507w, https:\/\/geniuslink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Aff-marketing-book-results-236x300.png 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8ca5899 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8ca5899\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b97cc9b\" data-id=\"b97cc9b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb9d253 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb9d253\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All of these six will teach you about affiliate marketing; that much is implied and not worth repeating for each.
