Learn Better Business Lessons from a Jerk

Want to learn how to make something from nothing? How to take your fizzling bank account and make millions of dollars? Perhaps you should start buy purchasing one e-book from a man who has done the same, became a self-made millionaire in a mere 7 years. In August of 2005, a self-proclaimed "Rich Jerk" launched his website, selling an e-book by the name of "Rich Jerk: Making Money on the Internet is Easy! I`m Better than you because I am Rich". Since then, Rich Jerk has become a phenomenon - both the man and his book. Although the Jerk`s identity is not yet known for sure, his unconventional, insulting, "in your face" advertising has become legendary in the Internet marketing world, and has supposedly made the Jerk over $800,000 in pure profit! The Jerk was, of course, rich before he wrote his ebook.

However, he wasn`t always the selfish, arrogant SOB he is today. The Jerk reports on his newly-launched blog that in 1999, he was just a waste-of-life 19 year old with a negative $500 bank balance. A lazy, worthless loser who blamed the world for his own sorry situation. He was one of the few, however, to realize that he had the potential to work his way out of poverty and into riches. Following six multi-million dollar years for the Jerk, he is now a cocky, big-headed ass. And he acts in this way because he honestly believes he is superior to most of the human population, he was one of the few poor people in the world who actually did something to improve his own pathetic excuse for a life.

We may soon know who the Jerk is. Then again, maybe we won`t. He is at present in the process of making a TV commercial, which of course features his favorite things: hot young women, a red Ferrari with a personalized "Rich Jerk" number plate, his own private jet, and of course his most prized possession, himself. But is the Jerk really rich? You bet he is. This guy is the real deal. The Jerk has an uncanny ability of driving the truth home, and of hitting the nail of the head. If you knew what was good for you, you`d buy the Jerk`s e-book and improve your own life.
