Our Latest eBook...

Rich Jerk Your Way To Success

Rich Jerk Your Way To SuccessWhen the Rich Jerk blasted onto the scene Internet marketing scene, people certainly tried. Soon it seemed like every possible niche had some sort of “jerk” in it. Some worked, some didn’t.

Some “[enter niche here] Jerks” were destined to fail before their websites even went live. Unfortunately those that were destined to fail didn’t understand why they would fail. They thought if the Rich Jerk worked in Internet marketing, surely the “jerk” persona would work in other niches too. Here’s the key: the “jerk” persona didn’t work simply because he was a “jerk,” it worked because it was a fresh marketing approach. It worked because people secretly associate obscene wealth with arrogance (i.e., acting like a jerk).

In other words, you can’t attach the word “jerk” to your USP (unique selling proposition) and expect it to work in every niche. The secret is to come up with your OWN unique marketing idea.

The Third eBook...

Revenge of the Zombie Marketer

Revenge of the Zombie MarketerEver feel like an online marketing zombie? You have your arms outstretched and you’re walking around at night with the rest of the undead chanting: “Must have blog. Must optimize site for search engines. Must build list. Must build AdSense-friendly page….”

So you and every other marketer do these things because that’s what you heard you should do. You build your blogs, slap up some AdSense pages, build a list.

If you don’t make money, you don’t know how to fix it cause you don’t know what the problem is. Maybe you even tell other people things like, “blogs don’t work. Oh, and there’s no money in the list.”

If you DO make money, you’re elated…but when you try to duplicate your success you can’t quite do it.

Why? Because you’re not aware of what really makes money-making sites work.

The Second eBook...

The Amazing Traffic Siphon

The Amazing Traffic SiphonImagine for a moment becoming an affiliate in a niche in which you are not established. All the other affiliates have websites with high-ranking, relevant keywords in the search engines. They have blogs loaded with months of useful content. They have mailing lists chock full of eager buyers. They’re dominating AdWords and, it seems, every other worthwhile promotional venue.

And yet you’ve researched this particular market. It’s profitable. You’re passionate about it. And as a bonus, there are some awesome products – especially physical products -- with high-paying affiliate commissions that you can get started promoting immediately.

Which of course bring you back to the problem: all the super affiliates are promoting the same thing. Should you just throw in the towel now and find a niche and an affiliate program that’s not so crowded?

Do things a different way!

The First eBook...

Big Business on a Shoestring Budget

Big Business on a Shoestring BudgetThe beautiful thing about starting a business on the Internet – especially an information product business – is that the barriers to entry are very low.

If you don’t have the money though, no worries. You’ll just have to put a little more time and creativity into the process.

Don’t let lack of money become the excuse that keeps you from succeeding, because that’s complete BS. Plenty of people started with nothing and grew their fortunes because of their desire to succeed, willingness to learn, and willingness to use their time and creativity effectively.

So can you.
