I'm not exactly a high-profile guy.
You know, I pretty much like my job, I pay my
bills well enough, and enjoy staying pretty close to the house on the
weekends. But I'm not really the guy who everybody gathers around at
parties, you know what I mean? In fact, if there was a party, I might
get invited alright, but probably would end up just not going.
Hi, I'm Jim, and I'm an internet addict. I'm a
search junkie. You know what I mean?; Search Google Images for the name
"Bob" and you will get a look at every dude named
"Bob" on the Western Hemisphere. (Which is, incidentally,
where all the Bobs have ended up, apparently...) Search the word
"foot" sometime, for example. But be CAREFUL!! You should know
that image searches often bring up medical sites, and my brother (or
sis) there are some G-NARLY "foot" disorders out there... So
I've warned you. It's out of my hands now...
So anyway, in my obsessive funk at 1:00 a.m. when
I should have been tucked warmly in with my wife, I run across this guy
who calls himself The
Rich Jerk. Jerks are kindof like train wrecks, you know what I mean?
Or like car accidents on the interstate. You don't want to look, you
know it's just going to slow down traffic, but for some stupid reason,
you just have to at least GLANCE, you know? Or at least dang near break
your kneck trying not to. So anyhow, I start reading, an d he's
absolutely right; he certainly does come off as a jerk, big time, but
man, I started reading up, and this guy's definitely a jerk, but he's
doing something on the low end (you know, like small business) that big
companies have been doing on the internet for a few years now, and he
wrote an ebook about it.
I did Youknowwhat-Way back in the day, so I got a
snoot full in a hurry. Didn't do jack for me. I'm a pretty hard worker
too, but it just wasn't do-able for me. But this whole thing with the
internet has apparently made it so easy to buy stuff over the net that
people (businesses)pay a little bit for each of those little
"click-throughs". The Jerk (Sorry, the RICH Jerk) made a TON of change when he
figured out how to be one of the people who owns one of those really
inexpensive little banners that people "click-through" (sorry
for all the "quotes") to buy that stuff. It's like you don't
have to even be the one selling, you just have the little link that
sends people, who are ALREADY looking for whatever it is they end up
clicking on ANYWAY!
So I did it.
I know. "Hoser!", you say.
Yeah. Fine. But I'm telling you, it's not only
legit, it's a freakin' pretty dang big deal. It took me about a day of
figuring out what some of the terminology meant, I wasn't raised with
computers like most kids are now, and there are still some things I have
to get my head around, but I've been getting some checks from Clickbank, and I'm telling you, I may
be able to do it exclusively if this keeps doing what it's been doing,
and more impertantly than anything else to me, I think my wife can quit
working soon. I'm not kidding, man.
Ok, yeah, you have to have a computer, and you
have to learn some new stuff about the internet but frankly, I thought
it was all pretty interesting stuff anyway, and at least I'm not trying
to sell soap or having all my friends over to try to sell them something
so they never speak to me again.
My checks are great and all, and I can see them
getting bigger like very fast, but you should see this guy's. He has
actual copies of his statements on the site so you can see them. And
they're not from selling the ebook. I'm sure he'll make a lot from that
too, but most of the stuff he tells you has NOTHING to do
with it. There are ten things that he tells you about, and they're all
so SOLID, man. Like he says in his characteristically
"jerklike" way, you'd almost have to be stupid not to be able
to at least make a little of extra money, and when this guys says a
little, well, his "little" and my "little" are two
different things. Were, anyway.
I'm kinda glad I didn't get this kind of thing in
my twenties, frankly. I wasn't totally irresponsible or anything, I was
in the military so I would have only gotten in so much trouble, but I've
had to work pretty hard most of my life. Think it's done me a lot of
good, frankly. But it's pretty dad-gum cool to go get a new scope for my
boy's rifle now if I feel like it, you know?
And no, I'm not going to start throwing money at
him now that I'm making extra money. But maybe there'll be a few bucks
left over for him and whatever family he has when I finally keel-over,
you know?
If you're interested, here's how you find the guy:

The Rich Jerk
Now, I wasn't kidding. The guy really is kindof a
jerk, so keep that in mind if you check out the site. Oh, I don't know
if he really is, I tend to think people like that are just probably
tired of trying to be nice when so much of life would just work a whole
lot better if people actually just got to the POINT, you know?
Dang sure got my attention.
