    FYI: The Rich Jerk is a semi-famous web guru.

    > If "The Rich Jerk" is actually rich, then why does he need to try so hard to keep finding new customers?

    Easy. It takes money to make money. People who are rich often pay more in taxes and other bills than those who earn less money.

    He's probably pretty well off. Compared to me, you are rich if you have a nice house and a car...lol.

    Wal-Mart likes new customers too. If you don't continue to find new customers, your old customers will eventually purchase your items until they have no need for them anymore, then they just go away.

    OK, you make a good point.
    Still, if he is actually rich, why not just enjoy life, instead of trying to push "guru stuff" on other people?

    Because money runs out. Bills will still come, regardless of income, and if you have lots of bills, you need lots of money.

    And I'm sure he does enjoy his life. Some people enjoy working and helping other people reach their goals :)

    "Rich" can mean more than one thing.
    Sometimes it has nothing to do with money (ie. being truly happy, and grateful, about what you have)

    Anyone who presents themselves as "rich", then begs the question "why sell your valuable secrets to others?"
    EDIT: Yes, the bills pile up, but 'actual rich people' don't need to worry about that. :)

    Am I still missing something?

    Thanks.

    I watched a documentary about a british entrepreneur recently. He has a fortune worth somewhere in the region of 200 million. When asked why he stays in business, he replied "I love it. I can't see myself doing anything else."

    Work doesn't have to be something you hate!

    The catch is you actually have to be SERIOUS about starting an online business. ..... Because the Rich Jerk doesn’t waste time with other LOSER companies. ..

    Nope. It's called "ClickBank".

    All those people trying to get rich are putting those ads all over the net. And all he had to do (really) was pay ClickBank $50.

    SWEET.

    It's not that easy. You first have to push your product, and be skilled at that. You have to be a very good and crafty marketer to rise to the first page of clickbank. There are tons of products that doesn't get any recognition at all.

    The Rick Jerk Clickbank stats as of today:

    $/sale: $12.16 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $12.16 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 56.0% | grav: 97.70

    So, he has had less than 97 affilates sale his ebook at least once in the past 2 months. If he is giving 75% to affilates at $12, he is then selling this book for $16.

    Meaning that he is only profiting $4 per affiliate sale. If he has 56% sales referred by affiliates, that means that half of his sales he makes on his own. Don't know how many that is, but I doubt that its many. Maybe 1-3 sales a day at $16 a pop. At the most, he probably make abouts $48 daily on his own, and maybe 2 affiliate sale a day. Thats roughly $58 a day,-which is less than U.S. minimum wage.

    So, do I think he is rich? No, he probably made a few thousand when the product launched and for a while after that, but if this is his only means of income then he isn't making much money at all.
