Instead of paying for an eBook that promises get-rich-quick bucks, the "Masked Guru" reviews them thoroughly so that you're essentially getting the content of the eBook - plus his take on whether or not the advice in each book is legit or BS. At first I was miffed with the Masked Guru because his site says you'll get 3 eBooks "instantly". Well... only after getting a email a day did I thoroughly scan through the MaskedGuru.com site to see that he does say it's a "part" a day email service... not the entire eBook at once.
The three eBooks are TheRichJerk, Day Job Killer and the Ultimate Wealth Package... in that order. TheRichJerk comes in 11 parts - so 11 emails over 11 days. And right now I'm on Day 9 of Day Job Killer. For future posts I'm going to review the reviews... but only for what I find interesting and informative... I'm a newbie... but feel like I know much of the stuff that is being reported, so I'll just summarize the basics, and report on what I learned that was new to me.
For now... since I'm in the middle of Day Job Killer... one suggestion that I had not thought of is promoting high-ticket items like music equipment, electronics like TV's or video game consoles. This might be a good suggestion since it seems like the entire world is going after the eBook industry. Now eBooks make sense because they are digital and delivered immediately... and therefore you may get a higher conversion since people like to buy things that satisfy their need for instant gratification. But if you can do a bang up job selling guitars... you'll probably have less competition.
As with ALL of the eBooks about getting rich on the internet, Day Job Killer seems to recommend the exact same basics as everyone else (hence my belief that you should buy one eBook one time and never bother with any others - that is if you're a newbie and want to learn the basics quickly. Otherwise, just reading forums, other's blogs, and doing some trial and error will get you up to speed to). The basics include:
1. get an affiliate account at ClickBank and Commission Junction (the main two but there are others)
2. find products to promote on the above two sites
3. promote them - via Pay-per-click (ie AdWords), articles you write and submit to the article sites, and commenting at forums and on others' sites with links back to your site or the promotion page with your "hoplink nickname", or SEO (search engine optimization) of your own site
That's affiliate marketing in a nutshell. Each of the "guru" eBooks throws a spin or two on this... but largely the spin is in how they market their products - not necessarily in the content. More to come on the review of the reviews of the Masked Guru's 3 current books.
