My Review of The Rich Jerk and His Internet Marketing e-Book

The following is my review of the Rich Jerk.  More specifically, I am going to talk about my experience with his Internet Marketing e-Book.

If you’re not familiar with the Rich Jerk, he is quite a popular American Internet marketer.  According to his Internet personna he is a very abrasive and very rich dude.  However, this is only his character.  I’ve heard that in real life he is actually quite a quiet and almost shy guy who is just really good at what he does.

No doubt his site is obnoxious and condescending but his e-book is very informative.  It is short - only about 30 pages - but it is all substance and no filler.  He has some cutting edge ideas and he makes it very clear on how to implement them.  This means that even newbies to Internet marketing can begin generating revenue very quickly.

My review of the Rich Jerk wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t mention that this book is not for everybody.  He really is obnoxious so if you’re easily offended, don’t buy it.  Quite a few of his ideas could also be considered “black” or “grey hat” tactics.  In Internet speak this means unethical or borderline illegal.  An example would be selling your customer or email list.  This is not a hypothetical example, this is one of his suggestions.

In my opinion, sure, you could make money applying such practices in the short term but you’ll never succeed long-term.  If anyone finds out that you’re selling or even sharing you’re customers’ private information, you’ll be dead in the water.

Having said that, the Rich Jerk’s more ethical ideas are excellent and definitely worth trying.  Take his suggestions with a grain of salt and you’ll be sure to find at least a few ideas you can use to do business on the Internet.
