This is very funny

    i was searching for Adsense tips and tricks on google and i came along this funny website

    RichJerk.Com

    the introduction of his website is the following :
    "Lets get something straight. I am a jerk. I am obnoxious. I am lazy. And I don’t care, because I am FILTHY RICH. I am much too important to even be sitting here writing this right now. So I'll keep it short. I make several million dollars every year on the internet, doing almost nothing. Heard that before? Well you can see proof of my earnings here. Have you seen proof like that anywhere else? Didn't think so. Do you make that much money? Didn't think so. "

    I have read many good reviews about his book, however i was wondering if he earns a couple of million dollars on the net every year, then why is he bothering to sell a book for $ 97 .

    I am not advertising his product or anything, i dont know the pesron and im not affiliated with him in any way, but i am just wondering is it a scam like most adsense tips books or it is worth buying ?

    waiting for comments

    Yeah i thought so , and plus most of the reviews that are written about his book are written by himself and promoted on adwords.

    You know what would be sad?

    If someone actually believed him and bought his book for 97 bucks.

    If he spams a million people then I'm sure he'd get a few takers!

    Yeah, I'd say this guy is just hustling. No reason to believe him over anyone else out there. His book MIGHT have some value. It might even be worth the $97.

    But...

    There is way too much stuff you can get free on this very message board, and other websites, to be paying money to anyone to learn about Adsense.

    First, get good with Adsense and make some money. You'll be in a much better position to determine what is worth paying to get and what is most likely a waste.

    His main strategy is antagonism and aggression. He sets himself up as an antithesis to the 'normal' 'boring' guys who sell books on advice. I mean, he's arrogant, he has a "I better than you because I'm richer than you, thus I couldn't care about you at all" attitude, yet if he is a jerk and obnoxious and arrogant, why is he offering people to help make money, ie be competition to him? Also, he dares people to search for him on google, using a search term he gives ("rich jerk") and the results are full of sites that give praise to him *cough*optimisation*cough*massdomains*cough*paidmonkeys*cough* and the adsense links all direct to his site.

    I clicked on some of the reviews, and guess what? On some of them (they all give positive reviews), they say "get a $25 discount on the book by clicking on the link to his site" or something to that effect. grief, no wonder they are giving positive reviews...

    Is he successful? Yes, he is, because he's cornered the market, as it were, on the key words to do with him.

    His strategy is basically doing everything in mass and restricting people's options to his marketed stuff (like how he flooded adsense with links that lead to his domain or are a single-page site with promotional info and links to his site)

    Clever, but not worth the money for the book, all you have to do is analyse how he promotes his book/site and away you go.

    Anyone selling a million dollar idea for $97 is either very stupid or very smart.

    You guys have been at this for way too long. There are 1000s of newbies coming onto the net everyday who knows nothing about this stuff. He'll sell PLENTY of books, trust me.

    if he sells 100 every month which is very reasonable, hell earn $ 10,000 a month. He says he earns 2-3 million dollars a year , LOL.

    I hope people read this thread before buying his book.

    The point is.. he said it that he is making 2-3 M/year where is the proof?
    ohh yeah those screenshots of checks and earnings. lol any one can make them within minutes using photoshop. whats big deal.
    he is just trying to make you think like an idiot if you dont buy his book look what he says at the bottom of the page-
    and

    This is a kind of reverse psychology.
    No wonde he wud get many newbies to get his book.

    additionaly he said he'll show the sites from which he makes millions of $$

    But where?? in his book full of craps?
    I think i know what will be in his book. he wud be suggesting everyone for making a site similar to his, rename his book and resell it.
