I’ve noticed a lot of people searching recently to check if products such as Rich Jerk is a scam.
I have purchased a lot of these products for review and I can honestly say that most of them are legitimate. And, most of them provide value. It’s important to note, however, that you will not automatically get rich because you buy any of these services. Good affiliate marketers use a lot of different tools and strategies, and could probably all write their own book. However, I believe that if you spend $50 on a book or service and you learn to make even $200 from it – that’s a 150% return on your money. Sure, you didn’t get rich, but you learned something along the way.
However, if you suspect that a product like Rich Jerk is a scam (btw, RIch Jerk is NOT a scam), you can look at a few different things on the website.
Here are some things to look for when evaluating products for scams. Is there some kind of customer service help on the website? Is there a phone number? Does the product have a positive testimonial or review? Can you find the product online by googling it? Can you pay for it by some kind of secured checkout, or can you use paypal that protects you from credit card fraud online?
Also, a lot of people are suspicious of actual advertiser scams. Be wary if someone asks you to pay for a list of advertisers, or pay to join an affiliate program. Also, if you want to be on top of things, join Revenue.com and get their magazine. It will list the top affiliate programs out there.
