Rich Jerk Review
By Bill
Weston
This is my review of The Rich Jerk's best-selling ebook.
I first started putting the jerk's methods to work toward the end of 2005,
and since then I've had plenty of time to sit back and reflect on the impact
that reading the jerk's book had on me. He's an a**hole, no doubt, but if
you look past the marketing gimmicks there is actually a lot of really good
information packed into those pages. It is especially good for people that
are not already making money online.
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
The first thing you should know is that the Rich Jerk is a character... not
really a person. Well there is a person who is the rich jerk, but he's an
actor. His name is Kelly Felix and he's actually married. The whole "rich
bachelor" thing is just a marketing ploy. Having said that, despite his
cheezy but effective marketing tactics, I think this book contains some very
good information.
THE REVIEW:
The day I bought this book and began to read it I found myself staying up
way too late because I couldn't stop reading. It inspired me so much I was
ready to just walk right out of my normal job the next day in order to go
home and work on these ideas. This book is very well laid out and looks
extremely professional compared to most others I've read. Overall I'd say
this book was worth the price just for the inspiration I got out of it.
Motivating me is difficult, but since reading this book I've been building
one website after another. I've cranked out several dozen web sites since I
read this book and they're all very profitable! My sites have been doubling
their income almost every month. Read that again. Doubling almost every
month. That still blows my mind, even months later. At the beginning of
every month I ask myself "how are we going to be last month??" then lo and
behold the previous month's income gets blown out of the water. The most
amazing part is that most of my sites are still new and not getting anywhere
near their potential traffic yet.
Am I a millionaire? Of course not. I've been slowly expanding on the rich
jerk's ideas and branched out into a couple of main niches, which have been
very good to me so far. This past month that went by I passed my full time
salary by over $1200 (and I have a very good day job). This is incredible
when you consider how much time I spend on it compared to my full time job.
I found out that most people don't know what is actually in the book, so I
have created a list of the chapters below and the info they contain.. Skip
to the bottom for my conclusion and other info if you already know what this
book contains, or don't care.
Creating an affiliate website that sells like crazy:
This is my favorite section of the Jerk's entire book by far. It has a good
listing of affiliate program networks, several of which I have since joined
and started receiving checks regularly from. This chapter also has a great
section about writing good sales copy. This is one thing I'm no good at and
the help the jerk offered was greatly appreciated. Using the methods from
this chapter and the next one I was able to double my total revenue between
January and February (which had already doubled in December) Every month
that goes by my checks get bigger and bigger, and at the end of every month
I think to myself "this is going to be hard to beat" then blow it out of the
water the next month. I don't expect this kind of increase to go on forever,
but if it keeps up I'll be buying that fancy car I couldn't afford before
the jerk enlightened me.
Unique Search Engine PPC Strategies:
This section details pay per click advertising and ways to make profit using
them. A friend of mine has been using some of these techniques to double his
money for the past few months. I am also using these methods and making a
pretty good chunk of extra cash every week without even using my own web
sites. I'd rather not get into what these methods are since I don't need the
jerk's lawyers after me, but suffice it to say it works. I am cashing in on
these strategies now before the rest of the world catches on and they are no
longer effective.
This section also covers ways to write Adwords ads that people will be most
likely to click.
Search Engine Optimization Strategies:
This section details ways to promote your site, many of which people
wouldn't think of on their own. Did you come to this page from Google? If
so, what number was my site ranked for your search? I think that is enough
said about this section of the book. :) Whlie the Rich Jerk is a bit light
on SEO in his book, there's no way this can be adequately covered in any
decent fashion in any publication this size. In other words, you're gonna
need to learn more about this than what you'll get from RJ!
Selling your own informational product:
The Rich Jerk feels that this is the best way to make lots of money online.
Selling a product that has no cost of production once the product has been
designed. You provide a download and let someone else handle the billing. I
started a project like this but haven't done much with it. I will start work
on it again in the future when I run out of other website money making
ideas. I'm not anywhere near as good a writer as the jerk.
Buying Wholesale and selling on ebay:
This is something many people make a living doing. There is some information
about wholesalers and drop-shippers here. He also covers a pretty large list
of ways people get ripped off doing this sort of business, so if you're
considering it this is a great chapter for you. This isn't something I was
very interested in myself. I don't want to have to drive around, ship stuff,
deal with customers, etc. I like making money while I'm asleep a lot more
than trying to make a few dollars profit on an item I'm selling. People I
know who were selling items
Websites you can make profitable right now:
This section has a lot of information about ClickBank. Before reading this
book I had never heard of CB, but now they send me nice checks every 2
weeks. ClickBank has since become my favorite affiliate network. I don't
even have the words to describe how much I enjoy every time that check
arrives. I'd give them my first born child if they had direct deposit.
Other online ventures..:
This chapter of the book briefly covers a few other ways to make money
online without a web site. These things would require further research prior
to diving in, so I haven't really looked into them at all. All my own web
sites have been keeping me occupied.
Supplemental information for beginners:
If you're new to creating web pages for profit, this section will be good
for you. It covers many things that people that have been around for a while
"just know" and covers the basic concepts of how various online money making
programs work. Maybe people that have never done this before have little to
no idea how this stuff works, and this will help them get a handle on it so
they can start raking in cash too.
Recommended products and tools:
This last section has some links to other software, books, programs, etc
that you may find helpful on your journey to "rich jerk". I found a few of
these tools to be good.

My
Conclusion:
I know people are skeptical and want to say that the rich jerk is a
fraud, but this stuff actually works. I was just as surprised as you
will be. Go check out his website and join us in the rich webmaster
club. I know it is hard to convince people to part with their
hard-earned cash for things like this. Frankly, the amount of money I've
made from selling e-books is only a small drop in the bucket of revenue
I've been generating, so trying to push you to buy this product doesn't
do either one of us much good. Just keep in mind that for the price of a
steak dinner you could be on your way to being your own boss or raking
in easy bonus money every month with very little effort. That hardly
seems like a very big risk to me.
