Let us explain...The sales website for this eBook is one of the most unusual that we've seen for a long time. Here's a guy who claims to be filthy rich and who rams this fact down your throat on his website. He flashes images of his bank statements CB accounts, and other evidence to back up his claims. He hides behind anonymity. And he says he's going to reveal the secrets behind his wealth, most of which was created online. All this for just $50.
Sounds quite phoney right?! Almost every time we research a site like this, we know straight away it's a scam. (due to ten years experience our research group attains) Usually these "secrets" are just a load of fluff. And usually the author is lying through his teeth about his "riches".
But the "Rich Jerk" generated a whole lot of discussion on some leading internet marketing forums. His identity was soon revealed and, yes, he is a highly successful internet marketer, but one who has avoided the limelight until now. And yes, there is enough evidence to make his claims of internet riches believable.
So, is his eBook any good? Before we actually buy 'work from home program' we carryout secondary research; reading a lot of comments from other people who had downloaded it. (forums, discussion boards etc) Some people, including some highly respectable internet marketers, said that it was brilliant, and that, although a lot of the material wasn't new to them, the bits that were made it an essential purchase.
So, what's our take on it, now that we've purchased it and had a chance to read it? Should you buy it?
Well, in our opinion, it depends on you answering "yes" to all of the following questions:
Are you a confident person? By
"confident" we mean being willing to experiment on a variety of
internet marketing methods, which are detailed in his eBook.
Are you prepared to take risk? (i.e.
spend any money on ads in Google, without a 100% guarantee of
making a profit)
Are you willing to act? This applies to any
"how to" book. You're wasting your money if you buy an info
product and do nothing with it. You'll need to set aside time, not only to
read the Rich Jerk's eBook (a modest 41 pages), but, even more importantly,
to start to implement his ideas.
Are you able to follow instructions? the Rich Jerk's ideas are very precise instructions on what you should do under certain circumstances. If you tend to skip detail and end up doing what you "think is best", you'll miss the main benefits from this eBook.
If you hesitated at this point, then back off now. Close this browser window. The Rich Jerk's eBook is not for you. You'll be wasting your money.
We learnt a lot. But the most valuable information for was:
Trusted sources that the Rich Jerk has
used (such as wholesalers and drop-shippers - page 32 in the eBook). Now
that we know more about his background, we were prepared to believe in his
recommendations.
How to protect yourself from scammers
and other online robbers.
Search engine optimisation
("SEO") strategies. The Rich Jerk (pages 20-25) showed us
a lot of tactics SEO tactics to increase site rankings. We actually used
these tactics for own company site.
The best way to earn money as a ClickBank affiliate. His advice is so simple I wonder why I haven't thought of it before. In addition (page 37) he shows you how to check out vital statistics on each of the thousands of ClickBank products. I never really understood the 'gravity' statistic until now. Mind you, the Rich Jerk doesn't explain how you find the time to check all these thousands of products! I personally use a bit of software called Affiliates Alert. It's helped me to find some valuable ClickBank products.
On balance, we were happy with the Rich Jerk's eBook. It has surpassed all our legitimate requirements.
But it's not for everyone. If you're a complete newcomer to internet marketing, then unless you're exceptional (fast learner, ready to learn and take both action and risks), then we say don't buy it.
However if you have some experience with the internet, we suggest that you definitely buy it.
But the decision is down to you. Prepare to be insulted, hence "Jerk".
