1. Cash Tactics - Ruck takes a bit of a hard core approach, but has very helpful and informative posts.
2. Jonathan Volk - This guy is new to affiliate marketing but is making a ton of cash. His blog has some good information, but he does not post a lot.

Best Affiliate Marketing Forums
1. Wealthy Affiliate - This is a paid membership site, but the forum is second to none. There are dozens of successful marketers who have quit their day jobs who hang out in these forums helping the other members. Also, the owners Kyle and Carson are always there to help as well.
2. WickedFire - This is a helpful forum that is free, but it is not for the you if you don't have a thick skin. You'll often find swearing and personal insults among the helpful information there.
3. Cash Tactics - Ruck's forum is great for learning more about the techniques he posts on his blog.
Best Affiliate Marketing E-Books
1. High Performance Affiliate Marketing - This is the only e-book I can recommend. It is great to get a feel for affiliate marketing and learn the basics. Best of all, it's free! The bad part is it is a bit outdated.
