I came across his e-book about a year ago during my endless search for home business ideas. I was impressed to find that the information he gave actually made sense, with little to none of the html confusion of other e-books I'd struggled through. He also didn't waste time like some e-book authors by going through the most basic details of how to build a website, or explaining in great detail how adsense works. With all of the different site-building programs and D.I.Y web-hosting companies these days, truly anyone can build a good looking website, and Google has plenty of help when it comes to adsense. (There are also some really great e-books on the net if you are looking for something specifically about adsense.) I've read e-books that were supposed to be about online marketing, but consisted of nothing more than a few pages telling you to; a) build a website, b) join an affiliate program, c) join adsense. There wasn't even any real info on how to go about doing those these things, and yet the comment was made in the script that "I know you paid a lot of money for this". No wonder people are skeptical of get rich quick schemes.
What information does The Rich Jerk give you for your purchase price?
- How to choose which affiliate programs to promote, and a listing of the best affiliate networks to join.
- Pay-Per-Click and SEO (search engine optimization) strategies, useful for any type of website.
- Advice on creating and selling your own e-book/product, and selling other companies products on e-Bay. This is his weakest chapter, in my opinion, but there are still some good points.
- A list of affiliate products and programs he personally recommends to aid you in your venture, and some alternative online business opportunities for the more adventurous.
- A full chapter for "beginners" to expand on all the topics, and make further suggestions for success. And he even explains all the above terms that you never heard of. For a jerk, he's a great teacher!
As for the issue of the Rich jerk's "attitude", it's called anti-marketing. While people like to complain about it, it does get results. It grabs your attention when you're looking at a bunch of run-of-the-mill ads. After all, you're taking the time to read about him right now, just as I'm taking the time to write about him, so he's achieved his goal. It's also a matter of doing what works for you; celebrities have been doing this sort of thing for decades. (We can all easily come up with a half dozen or more names that are remembered for exactly this tactic.) I personally felt that it was refreshing to have someone be blunt and honest about what is deemed by some to be a get rich quick program. Make no mistake. What The Rich Jerk talks about is a legitimate online business, which will require you to spend some time and money before you can start making money.
Please understand that any online business or home business is going to take some work, regardless of what you're promoting; and it will take some time to actually start making money. The Rich Jerk does have some great ideas for how to make it all a lot easier though, and a lot more affordable too.
