The Rich Jerk

I think this guy is flippin hilarious... he deserves the money if anyone buys his stuff. I see his ads all over adsense

http://www.ther1chjerk.com/faq.html

replace the 1 with a I

 

Funny stuff, I always see adwords for it too.

I always wonder though.. how can he keeps hold of his staff? surely as soon as they know they go and do it themselves.

 

well he is #1 in sales on clickbank... I am not sure what that stat means though.

Are his misspellings on purpose?

I'm rich, your not....

 

Did you happen to read his FAQ? It spretty hilarious

Q: I can't afford your book. I'm poor, I'm stupid, I have one leg, I have arthritis, I can't move, can't type, can't talk, can't see, I have 17 kids, I'm divorced, my dog died, I once had a nosebleed, and I have an ingrown toenail. Can you give me a free copy of your book?
A: Ummm....No.

Q: Will you give me $10,000 to record a rap CD? I'm really good...check this out: I hit a cat with a bat, how do you like that, my rhymes are fat, I wear a hat, I once saw a rat.
A: Hell no.

Q: I hate you. You are mean, and obnoxious, and fake, and scammy, and rude, and stupid, and BS, and ugly, and I hate your mom, and you don't really have any money, and you are a liar, and a fraud, and blah blah blah. What do you think about that?
A: Put down the Schlitz, go outside your trailer, and get some fresh air.

Q: You've really got some nerve! You think you're better than me?
A: Yes. I'm a rich, arrogant ass, and I like it that way.

Q: If you don't give me your book for free, I'll tell everyone your book is crap, and I'll say bad things about you to the FTC, the Attorney General, the FBI, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, all the President's men, the Secret Service, the Humane Society, the 4H Club, the Church of Scientology, the FDA, Clickbank, Paypal, and the security guy at Wal-Mart.
A: Have you ever heard of being sued for libel and/or slander? I have a legal team on salary, which means I have to pay them every month whether they work or not. So if you'd like to give them something to do, that's fine. Regardless, I'll be relaxing in some exotic locale, while getting a massage from Helga.

 

If this guy is a millionaire, I am Mae West.

The eBook is a regurgitation of data found elsewhere on the Internet, along with some silly advice about how to write ad copy to sucker people into buying crappy products.

The sole value of the ebook is that it takes a bunch of crappy content and puts it in one convenient location.

I'd say that this ebook is worth $7. That is based upon the amount of Google searches for "Internet scams I can join" it will save you.

 

This one is my favorite:

Q: Can I come and work for you? I'm real good and you won't regret it.
A: No. I have a strong feeling you're NOT real good and I WOULD regret it.

 

Oh man, so horrible and so gut-wrenchingly hilarious at the same time. I never actually took the time to check out his site, but always thought his ads were hilarious. Great example of buzz marketing. Well, more like "being an ass to get paid" marketing.

The guy must have a ridiculous marketing budget, or he used to. I used to see him in top spots for "adsense" all the time. Maybe he's found better niche phrases.

 

There's one thing in the FAQ I can see applying to pretty much every book.

 

I am guessing he is doing ok cause I see these fricking ads everywhere lol...

 

I'm pretty sure this guy isn't anywhere near as rich as he makes out, but he could be if he sells enough ebooks.

I think the whole site is pretty amusing, I certainly respect it far more than the traditional long-page sites with boring shite about how they make loads of money and you could too for only $19.99

 

Looks like he suckered you into buying it - I see his ads everywhere as well.

 

What's the idea behind posting the incorrect URL and then having people change something in the URL to make it work? I've seen people do hxxp:// instead of http:// for the same reason, but what is the reason?

 

So the Rich Jerk doesn't get a quality backlink. Spiders are always around picking up hyperlinks.

 

Has anyone bought his book ? Is he even selling a book or just asking to get paid because he is rich?

I am seeing his ads for the past four months and there is no doubt that he is a moron.But he is definately making money. Not Ton's of money but decent enough I guess. He is cashing on the greed of noobs as well as ignorant people who fell in his trap.

I still remember one of his site, where he had put a pic of yacht and a very costly car(not sure which one) saying that he has bought this from last month's adsense money
If few people can confirm that his book is worthless than I guess we people can make a small effort of bring him down through DP. I think that he is nothing less than those nigerian crooks who are making money by fooling others.

 

I get more out of Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Hat" then the Rich Jerk's E-Book. Plus its only $8.99.

There are plenty of trusted e-books out there for less money with quality information.

 

Hmmm after reading his FAQ's completely I have got a good idea. Can we contact our Nigerian friends to promote his book. We just need to somehow put a message in a leading daily nigerian newspaper that please forward richjerk's ebook as a attachment into your mails. You all will get USD $100 for 10million mails And ofcourse, I would really like to see that how he sues those nigerians spammers ..aaahh..this world is full of idiots.

 

Anyone read the book?

I just can't figure out what exactly is it about..?

 

a friend of mine bought a copy and i took a look at it.. the little bit i read was pretty good in some way, but also pretty disgusting.

i wouldn't really feel good about myself making money the way he does (no matter how rich i got). he's not providing any quality or benefit to consumers, he is just sort of tricking/manipulating them so that he makes money.

i definitely understand how his techniques make money, but what he does is just not something i could allow myself to do.

why not just make money doing something positive? provide a good product or service that people want and make money that way..

 

Completely agree with you

So what exactly is he proposing?
- doing some BH
- write a similar stupid book and sell it out for $$$
- ..?
