    The Rich Jerk - therichjerk.com

    I'm sure many of us have been intrigued by how wealthy he is (or at least appears to be) from making money on the internet.

    Is his eBook worthwhile?

    Thanks

    No, there's no such thing as an ebook worth paying for.

    I have the ebook, and its nothing special. Especially if you arent a newbie. You could get all the info you need about making money from this forum. If I could do it all over again I wouldnt buy it.

    I read it, back when I was a newbie and didn't know squat about making money on the internet.

    It's not the bible of making money of course, and the experienced internet marketers probably know most if not all of the info in the book. But for me, the information was presented in a way that I could understand it and put it to use. Before I'd read a lot of free books and reports on making money online, but it was like an information overload, and I couldn't really get started. Something about reading the Rich Jerk got me started in this whole internet marketing business. And honestly some things he told of I had not learned in all the free books and articles I had read.

    So really it's your call on if you want to buy it or not. Maybe it'll be of help to you, maybe it'll just tell you what you already know.

    for the price he's selling it now, there is no way it wouldn't be worth the money. I was quite surprised when I opened the ebook myself, his book does have great info and is a great one for a total newbie to look at. There are affiliate links and what not in the ebook itself but for 9.95, I say check it out. It's a good book...definitely worth the money. I'm sure a newbie would be able to figure out what he teaches easily BUT instead of trying to collect the info online, here's an ebook with the important info condensed in it..proven things to follow...

    Best,

    Ana

    At $10 bucks you might as well try it if you're desperate for information. Although if you look around the forums you'll find the same info, so it's really your choice. I've never read any of those ebooks and I do just fine online, so don't think you need to buy them if you want to succeed.

    Hey I got that book a couple of days ago for free. I can't remember the link, though. Anyway, it's trash. Nothing there you can't get anywhere else for free. And yes, it's just his viral marketing tool.

    Contrary to what some have said, there are some excellent eBooks out there, but you can't purchase any eBook until you have "researched" it and you have to pay the price for the good ones. There are no free lunches and there are really very few good low-cost or free eBooks. Most marketers are cheap and don't want to spend over 10 bucks for an eBook, so they either go after the affiliate URL-loaded, self-serving eBooks or buy garbage eBooks or wait for the price to get lower...and, by then, everybody is using the information which then has a "watered down" effect if you use it or incorpoarte it into your arsenal.

    Sure, you can get almost any marketing information for free, but it will not always be the best or latest information and there is that factor that "time is money"....one most marketers just don't understand or just don't get. It is very time consuming trying to find the latest info in a reliable manner for free. Internet marketing is about staying on the cutting edge, and "free" just ain't gonna cut it if you want to stay on the cutting edge! The 'trick" is to figure out who is selling recycled garbage and who is selling something worth paying for.

    I bought The Rich Jerk back in September 2005 soon after it came out when it was $97, but not after doing a lot of reading/researching about the book. It certainly is NOT for newbies, but for those who have been doing online marketing for a while. The first 10 pages alone were worth the price of the eBook as far as I was concerned. It is one of the few eBooks I have ever paid just under $100 for and one of the few I have kept for my eBook library as a reference.

    I found lots of ebooks including this one for free bunched together on torrent sites. I don't know if they were illegal or not, but it didn't seem to be valued highly. Its just one of another thousand of ebooks that sound almost completely alike but have different names.

    I also learned most of what I know from DP forums.

    The Rich Jerk book I would imagine contains outdated material as of now...hence the very cheap price. However, at $10 you can't lose.

    As a beginner you will not really understand it...but it will give you some good tips and resources that you can use to progress as an internet marketer.

    I first bought it in 2005 and I was a beginner and I did not understand most of it but it gave me 1 tip and resource that I used that made me like $3000.

    No. Its a waste of time and money. If you're a member of Digital Point, you already have access to all the knowledge TRJ has to offer.

    But if you don't know what knowledge you're talking about it might not be worthless. If the knowledge contained in this ebook is so easy to find on Digital Point, what is it?

    Hello,

    I bought this book, and you can take something, but no big deal, I remember I got how to use adsense and images, but as everyone know, this tips is no longer with Google.....

    The Rich Jerk book itself is not that great, its pretty basic stuff of internet marketing. Its a good overview for newbies though, and also the actual internet marketing the company does itself is excellent.
