Thanks for the info on the Rich Jerk. I think I’ll just continue to stay away.

The part about preferring sales to comments was meant to be humorous. I know you like to have a discussion on most posts, but I was thinking that you’d rather have sales on this one.

It’s a good thing I don’t try to earn a living by being funny.

All the best,

When I was first wondering what affiliate marketing was, I read two books early on. One really wasn’t about affiliate marketing, but was good for what it was about, that being SEO Made Easy. The other was Rich Jerk’s manual.

For people who are brand new, he gives a great step by step of what affiliate marketing is all about. I picked up a lot of good things, knowledge I wouldn’t have got elsewhere. The original manual may not tell people who know what’s going on a lot, but for everyone else, I was actually pretty impressed. What really impressed me was that it wasn’t a lot of fluff. He gets right to the point, which is why the book isn’t much past 40 pages; I really liked that.

Since that time, he’s added some extra stuff which buyers get to download if they but the original book. It’s pretty good also, but I’d warn folks that some of the ideas he’s come up with for making money are, well, a bit sneaky. I’m not going to call him out on it, but I’ll say that my own sensibilities won’t support doing some of what he’s suggesting. Doesn’t mean it won’t work, or that others might not want to try them out, but not me.

I ohpe that gives a bit more information about it. As for comments, I love comments, and I love sales. If I didn’t want comments, I’d just write this sucker and close off comments like Seth Godin does. But I’ll never do that.

I find it hard to leave a substantive comment on a post like this one, but that’s probably okay with you.

I’m assuming that you’d rather make sales than get comments. Right?

The one thing that I can say that may contribute to the discussion here is about the Rich Jerk.

I know nothing about him or his product, but I received tons of emails when he first launched from a lot of affiliate marketers.

Immediately, I was turned off by the approach and never looked at what the product offered.

You said that it is pretty good.

Can you tell us why you think that and what it offers that is worth buying?

Act on your dream!
