The Rich Boy - $50,000 per Month - Oh, Really?

One of the great things about reviewing Internet Marketing products is that, occasionally, I find something so hilariously outrageous that it would have buyers falling about laughing if they hadn’t already paid through the nose for it!

Generally the majority of Internet Marketing products have substantial worth, though not all are as good value as we might hope. However The Rich Boy takes the biscuit. Read on to find out why…

First of all check out the promises made on the salespage (www.therichboy.com). It’s full of the usual ‘I’m rich, and now I’m going to show you how’ stuff PLUS the guarantee of ‘an Endless Stream of Residual Income’. So far so absolutely typical of the ‘get rich quick’ sales technique.

Further down the page there’s a ’sneak peak’ of what’s inside the book. This looks promising - everything from income through Adsense to how to use PPC marketing, followed by a bunch of extra ‘bonus’ items.

Then, oh boy, this is where you know this probably isn’t the sort of thing you should be buying when you reach the ‘what I own and how I live’ pictures. Are people really taken in by this? Don’t they have dreams of their own on which they’d spend their ‘endless stream of residual income’? And, erm, who’s paying for his lifestyle?

Well, actually, you are once you plonk down the $49.95 for this ebook. So, you click the order button and pay and then you can’t wait to get your grubby hands on the book which is going to make you rich. Except that you’ll have to wait. Because this is what you see…

Now don’t, whatever you do, be tempted by the ‘I’m looking for a limited number to join my ‘Advanced Coaching Team’. This is just a way of getting your phone number so that one of his salesmen can call you up and persuade you to spend even more money on ‘advanced coaching’.

I’m used to One Time Offers of more products or additions to products (like video training) but, usually, there’s a way past the OTO so you can get to your purchase.

Not with The Rich Boy! You HAVE to fill out the ‘free consultation’ application and click submit before you can get to the download page. I call this despicable.

Even then you don’t get to your download. First you have to join The Rich Boy’s email messaging system and then, and only then, do you get a download link. Except you don’t, because once again you’re faced with the ‘Free Consultation’ application. As the man said ‘I don’t BELIEVE it’! Thankfully, this time, you get a link underneath to the download page. Phew.

Great,  now we can get started on how to earn a fortune. Oh, but what’s this? It’s not a normal ebook; it’s an exe file that opens the book as a downloaded web page. And there, near the top is…

You guessed it - the ‘Free Consultation’ application form again!!! Really, is this guy for real?

So, scroll down and let’s get to the meat of this ebook - the training.

First there’s a bit about starting a blogger blog with some Adsense thrown in. And a bit more about choosing a niche. So how do we find a good niche? We do some keyword research. How? We use the keyword optimizer at www.searchterms.com. But, unlike the free tools at Wordtracker or Google this one costs $9.95 a day or $299.95 a year. And no guesses for who gets a nice affiliate commission on that!

But perhaps you aren’t happy with the look of your blog. Well why not try some website templates instead? And who better to provide them than  www.easyadsensetemplates.com for the princely sum of $99.95? (The Rich Boy gets another $50 of your money for that one).

By now you should be getting the message of how this book works. Let’s say you’ve created your website and are now looking to get visitors to it. Maybe you’d like to be on the front page of Google? How? Oh, that’s simple according to The Rich Boy, just buy SEO Elite for $167! (and there’s a nice fat commission going to The Rich Boy there too).

Next you are going to learn about affiliate marketing. Now this looks promising. First find a product to promote. Where? At www.click2sell.eu of course. Oh, why not Clickbank or any of the other well known affiliate marketplaces? Because Click2Sell is where you can become an affiliate for… wait for it…

The Rich Boy!

Oh, yes, you too can learn how to make $37.46 by selling ‘Make Your Cash Stack’ - the very book you’ve bought and, of course, stuffing more money in The Rich Boy’s pocket as a result (erm, at a conversion rate of 0.21%, I don’t think so).

What’s the best way of advertising your affiliate link? Why, by using Adwords of course. Here’s a quote from the book that really sums it all up better than I can describe…

“I won’t be going into extreme amounts of detail here about how to effectively advertise on Google Adwords…”

Of course you won’t, Rich Boy; because you can send your readers off to buy ‘The Google Cash Guide’ for $67 instead (and fatten your Rich Boy’s wallet a little more). Except that…

…the link doesn’t work!!!

Ha, I almost fell off my chair at that one!

But, don’t worry, if you’ve turned the pages and got this far then you’ll find ‘The Mystery Bonuses’!

Yes, you too can ‘earn’ money by making a killing on the ’science’ of Sports Betting! Or you can make money ‘the easy way’ by filling out online surveys! Or how about getting paid to enter data into forms? How? Spend just another $197 (Sports Betting) plus £27 (Online Surveys) plus $49 (Data Entry) and you can do all of them. Wow, am I the lucky one to be getting these bonuses! Thanks Rich Boy!

But that’s not all! Spend even more money and you’ll get books that will reveal the profit secrets when you ’submit photos to the Internet’ or ‘get paid to shop and eat’.

Any more dodgy systems you can think of Rich Boy? Oh, yes, one last one. Just in case you’ve emptied your wallet buying all this useless stuff you can at least save some money by converting your car to ‘burn water’ not gasoline (www.easywatercar.com)!

Read enough? Bear with me. There’s one last offer you can’t refuse (to learn about, that is). Because you’re so impressed, by this point, with The Rich Boy’s book ‘Make Your Cash Stack’ you can sign up to resell it - an auction template for eBay is provided. The cost of your resale license? $49.99 for the first month and $9.99 a month thereafter!

I checked on eBay and there’s one poor sod in the UK who has failed to sell a copy at £6.00. Another in Canada has managed to sell one copy for $6 (plus postage). Remember every copy that sells adds to The Rich Boy’s alleged $50,000 per month income through the affiliate commissions loaded inside.

There’s one thing that doesn’t quite add up here, though. If The Rich Boy is really so rich, how come he’s using the FREE version of ‘ebookmaestro’ to compile his ebook? Can’t he afford the measly $34.95 for the PRO version (which you’re supposed to use for ‘commercial’ ebooks)? I won’t say ‘there’s one born every minute’.

I thought I’d seen everything but The Rich Boy almost leaves me speechless. I have only one word left to say…

Un-FRICKEN-believable!
