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.
