Niche Jerk

Here is the first rule anyone learns who is even remotely concerned with marketing ...

Laptop Battery "Sell the sizzle and not the steak."

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Thinkpad In other words, an appeal to what excites the consumer is much more effective than the properties of the product. This is not necessarily deceptive. In many cases, products can be so similar that the only real difference among them is in their perception, ie- 'sizzle,' by the public.

Microsoft If ever anyone in cyberspace has excelled with this principle, it's The Rich Jerk.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computers If you've done any significant cybercruising, you've surely encountered his promotional campaign. His spiel is impressively creative. He claims that he's rich, not necessarily because he works harder than you, but because he's better than you. As a result, he doesn't really care what you think about him or whether you're interested in buying his product. However, he makes it very clear that it's due to his product that he can claim his arrogant superiority over you and everyone else.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Laptop Computer The Rich Jerk could be the Don Rickles of the 21st century. He revels in spewing insults at his audience, and the more he wallows in rudeness, the more effective his message becomes. Some readers may not be amused by his angle, but most recognize that he goes so over the top with his approach that his point is made. He purports to be so financially free that it doesn't matter what others think of him, and therein lies the sizzle.

Desktop Computer The Rich Jerk's product is a mere staple of cyberspace: he's selling a work-at-home internet business concept. There's nothing earth-shaking in his content. It's basically the same as what everyone else in the genre is selling:

Notebooks 1) Find a product,

Lenovo 2) Get a website,

Hard Drive 3) Promote the product,

Travelstar 4) Reap the profits.

Gateway The Rich Jerk has some leads that may expedite the process, but none of those are anything exceptional, either. Results will vary. Few will join him in richness.

Laptop Parts Still, that's not the Rich Jerk's issue. His job is selling his product. He's doing it legally and effectively. As far as I'm concerned, he's merely selling the cyber-equivalent of bottled water; he's taking something you can get for free, putting an aura around it and getting you to pay for it. Willingly.

Software Another principle taught in marketing is that of cognitive dissonance. Basically, this term infers that consumers have a tendency to justify their purchase of a product by noting its advantages to them and downplaying any disadvantages. For example, in this case, they'd say they've bought a step-by-step tutorial for getting into a work-at-home business and have saved time over anyone trying to gather all that information by themselves, even though the task can be done for free with a bit of search-engineering. Almost every positive comment I've seen about The Rich Jerk's product confirms this tendency.

Hard Drives Thus, the Rich Jerk has his bases covered. His sizzle is alluring, his product may be obvious, but it's legitimate and his aftermarket has afterglow.

Electronics Not only has the Rich Jerk seemingly done well for himself, he's spawned a cottage industry for others. Copycats are abounding. So far, I've already seen ads for the Money King and The Rich Pig; more are probably on the way. They're poor imitations, but in cyberspace, duplication is a successful form of flattery. They might actually profit from their near-plagiarism.

Canon There is one facet of Jerkdom that is worth calling to your attention, though, which involves the third sales principle I'd like to mention: incentive marketing. This involves giving a consumer something for nothing, in some manner, in order to realize a profit.

Desktop Pc Enter The Free Jerk. He's offering to give you the Rich Jerk product, legally, in return for your simply reading his critique of it. That's his product.

Desktop Computers The Free Jerk profits because you're going to first pay for the Rich Jerk's product, after which The Free Jerk gives you a 100% rebate. In effect, he's 'sharing' the affiliate's commission he receives from The Rich Jerk for your purchase. He makes up the financial difference --- and then some --- by directing your details, for another commission, to major cyberspace advertisers who see you as an 'active' cyber-consumer. Thus, he realizes a net profit and you get what becomes a 'free' copy of the Rich Jerk's product. You also get directed to additional advertising, but The Free Jerk tells you in advance that it's coming your way, so you do have a choice.

Think Pad Thus, the Jerk industry is a niche of ironies. Sizzle is on sale, and if you're so inclined, you can accept someone else's sizzle in exchange for being exposed to further sizzle in order to acquire the original sizzle for nothing more than a bit of after-sizzle.

Repair And while all this is in process, someone's making money and everyone has the possibility of being satisfied with their end of the deal.

Data Recovery As the consumer who catalyzes this Jerk-a-thon, perhaps that makes you the Niche Jerk.

Cisco Marketing is indeed alive and well in cyberspace.
