Rich Jerk or rich joke?

I like to keep an eye on what the SEO gurus and wannabe gurus are up to and so I’m on the mailing lists of anyone who is anyone in SEO as well as anyone who thinks they’re someone too, so one of regular mailings I get is from The Rich Jerk.

His current campaign features some videos which supposedly take you inside his Adwords campaigns. I haven’t seen them yet, but since I noticed his ebook was at the knockdown price of $10 I decided to buy and see what he says.

Well, I’ll tell you something – save your $10, The Rich Jerk is just not worth it. How he was selling it at $50, or whatever it was previously, I’ll never know.

The ebook consists of 60-ish pages which supposedly tell you how The Rich Jerk makes millions online. But in fact there is not detail and what it is really doing is preselling affiliate products. There is no way you could set up a successful website based on the information in the ebook alone, which is what his book claims.

If you want to go the affiliate route then there is plenty of information to get you going, with far more detail than this. Although I’m not particularly keen on SiteBuildIt as a product – perhaps it’s ok for beginners but it’s too clunky for me and you can’t do any PHP coding – the process behind it is sound and you can find that in a free ebook 193 page ebook written by Ken Evoy called The Affiliate Masters Course. That ebook takes you by the hand and takes you through all the steps, from keyword research onwards and I recommend it for everyone.

Why buy The Rich Jerk for $10 when you can read The Affiliate Masters Course for free?
