Rich Dad, Poor Dad

There was no 'Rich Dad', it's all made up snake-oil.

Most, if not all, of these books talking about how to get rich are how the authors get rich in the first place. While there may be some good advice in them, the real way to get rich is to sell others on the idea that they could be rich if they buy your products/services.

So for shits and giggles I looked at the introductory video for Clickbank or whatever it was called, the affiliate marketing corp

The gist of it is that to be successful, you wanna sell people health, wealth or... I forgot what the third was, but it's probably beauty or sex lol
