In the world of "Newbie" internet marketing E-books, many names come to my
mind. The Rich Jerk. Neil Shearing...OK, too many names are in my mind and I'm not
going to list them all. The point is that there are a *lot* of people out there writing
"How to make money" guides for those that are new to marketing products on the
internet, or "Newbies". I recently found such a title from Holly Mann, of
ThankYouRichJerk.com.
Now, you may not have heard of Holly. I never had, until I saw her ebook on sale at
eBay. She's not one of the "GURU" types, although I believe she would make a great
one. She has a unique selling proposition - going up in a head-to-head with The
Rich Jerk, and doing it for a lot less. Now, if you've read The Rich Jerk's ebook, you
know his style is a little in-your-face, harsh, even insulting. Holly doesn't take that
attitude up in her writing - she has a gentle, helpful writing style, as opposed to the
"I'm rich, do what I say, stupid" mentality that The Rich Jerk and others use.
Before I get to the contents of Holly's title, it is amusing to note that she beats out
The Rich Jerk on Google for certain keywords - and shows that fact off on her
website, proving the point that she knows what she's talking about. Her website is
not full of over-hyped, copycatted ad copy. Simple, to the point, matter-of-fact. She
does it well.
Most "Newbie" ebooks focus on one particular area of internet marketing. Affiliate
sales, Niche websites, Public domain material, etc. Her book, entitled "Breakthrough
Money-Making Secrets Revealed!", circumvents the style of the traditional one-
subject book and gives the reader a very good, broad understanding of what to do,
where and how to start, and some insider tips that I didn't even think of. With the
exception of a few spelling errors and the "midnight infomercial" name, this book is
pure gold.
What's in the book? Without giving too much away, it covers where to get freebies to
put on your site, SEO tactics, Affiliate programs, hosting and design resources,
blogging, and much, much more. Good, solid information on the basics of starting
internet marketing. Newbies are going to avoid quite a few mistakes (Holly, where
were you 5 years ago??) if they take this book and read it start to finish. Surprisingly,
for all the information that is covered, it is a quick read at only 31 pages. Holly
didn't add a lot of fluff (unlike The Rich Jerk's book) - it's written to be read and
absorbed without having to take a nap after page 18.
The thing that really put my opinion over the top was conversing with Holly. She is a
friendly individual who, in subsequent emails after my purchase, shared more
valuable information with me about my promotions and products. She gave me
some ideas that I would have never thought of, and was genuinely interested in
what I was doing. In the impersonal world of internet marketing, Holly is a true
secret to be discovered. (Try asking your favorite GURU for advice on something you
are doing - chances are you won't even get a response.)
My thoughts: If you are starting out in internet marketing, get Holly's book. If you
are experienced, get it anyway - you're going to find at least one thing in this book
that you didn't know.
