No wonder people areskeptical of get rich quick schemes.What information does the Rich Jerk give you for your purchaseprice? * How to choose which affiliate programs to promote, and alisting of the best affiliate networks to join.* Pay-Per-Click and SEO (search engine optimization) strategies,useful for any type of website.* Advice on creating and selling your own e-book/product, andselling other companies products on e-Bay.* A full chapter for "beginners" to expand on all the topics,and make further suggestions for success.* A list of affiliate products and programs he personallyrecommends to aid you in your venture, and some alternativeonline business opportunities for the more adventurous.This may not sound like a lot of information, and while the RichJerk is only 47 pages, there is more useable info included thanin some books twice the size.
