If you’ve been looking at internet marketing or affiliating marketing for any time you are almost bound to have come across The Rich Jerk.
The Rich Jerk sells himself on being a jerk! You will see reviews about him all over the internet, however, are any of the tips in his ebook of any use to internet and affiliate marketers? I hope to get to the bottom of that very important question via this review.
The Rich Jerk caught the attention of marketers worldwide not so much because of his skill but because of his arrogance and his attitude. His has an in your face philosophy which basically says I'm rich, you're not, who cares about you!
But don’t laugh at the man for this type of approach because it is based upon a sound marketing ploy called, believe it or not, anti-marketing or negative marketing. His launch campaign is probably one of the most effective seen on the internet for a long, long time. But what about his product?
I’m recommending you NOT to buy his guide, I have read it and it does contain some not so well known techniques and tactics for earning money online, but is it worth the money – I personally doubt it. Though to be objective it does probably depend where you are in the world of internet marketing or affiliate marketing at this point in time.
I've found recently that more and more ebooks seem to be targeted to the newbie marketers rather than revealing advanced strategies for seasoned internet marketers. However, one advantage that The Rich Jerk does have over the vast majority of other authors is that he does encourage you to think outside the box – to a large extent that is what anit-marketing is all about. However, while the world of internet marketing and affiliate marketing is still wide open surfers are becoming more and more aware of marketing ploys like The Rich Jerk!
A popular and true saying is that: ‘imitation is the best form of flattery,’ and an awful lot of people have and are copying The Rich Jerk tactics. They are been copied to such an extent that the techniques are no longer unusual but more the norm. That’s another reason why I say avoid this book, the shock tactics are no longer shock tactics.
The Rich Jerk has demonstrated how you can launch and promote a product in a certain way. However, does the way he build make for a reputable brand? Would the name calling and insults encourage you to stay loyal to him? Is he building an ongoing relationship with visitors and consumers? I don't know, I haven’t travelled down that road with him.
The Rich Jerk techniques are easy to duplicate and you can get started with them right away. However, I have read much more formative affiliate marketing guides than this one and I have seen better products at a lesser price, particularly for people new to affiliate marketing. And speaking personally I just don’t like his style of operation.
