If you?ve ever
gone through the process of creating
your own info-product or software then
you know that while there is profit
involved it can be a vigorous and time-consuming
process. I always say it?s good to have
your own products, but they should be
used in conjunction with resale rights
products ? not instead of them.
The nice thing about getting hold
of a good resale rights product is
that you have effectively paid for
some-one to research and write a (hopefully)
killer product ? usually that means
you get the sales pages and graphics
too. Make a few adjustments to the
sales pages, add in your own bonuses
and hey presto you?re ready to start
accepting orders into your paypal
account.
So what are the bottom line, must-implement
tactics that you need to use to maximise
your profits with resale rights? There
are a few of these, but first of all
it?s like the old internet marketing
adage says??the gold is in the list?!
Perhaps you?ve heard the gurus talk
about it (well what more proof do
you want then) ? you must build, maintain
and satisfy your own list of newsletter
subscribers. Look, list building strategies
are the topics of many a book but
there are ways that you can go about
it quickly. Do you harness the power
of eBay to build your list? Do you
have a PPC campaign set-up to capture
more prospects (simply offer them
a high-quality freebie)? List building
should be seen as a long term commitment
? don?t expect to have 10,000 subscribers
in a few weeks?it doesn?t work that
way for newbies (unless you?re willing
to pay top dollar for quality leads).
Remember that as each new name pops
into your list that?s a potential
future stream of revenue.
If you?ve read my other articles
on profiting with resale-rights then
you already know that one strategy
that I rate rather highly is that
of developing your own ?unique selling
point? ? or in simple terms, ?being
different?. You MUST do this because
in the resale rights game you?re selling
the same product as virtually everyone
else. The same PDF document. The same
sales page. The same graphics. Why
should your customer choose you over
the other guy? Because of your unique
selling point. You?re going to be
different by adding your own bonuses
(perhaps one?s you?ve created yourself).
You?re going to tweak the sales page
so that the copy is more powerful
? more compelling to the prospect.
You can even score an A+ in my book
if you re-design the ecover and banners.
Hey, it?s almost like it?s your own
unique product that no-one else has.
That creates a hell of a lot of perceived
value in your prospects mind ? and
if you can do that you?ll make the
sale.
Here?s another killer strategy that
very few people use ? use joint ventures
with people who have significant lists.
Now I know what you?re thinking?it?s
hard to do a JV for a resale rights
product. That isn?t really true and
I?ll tell you how you can JV with
the biggest of them. First make sure
you have a real quality product ?
and one that is relatively new and
if possible ?in vogue?. Next, load
up the perceived value by adding as
many relevant bonuses as you can find.
Really go nuts here?make it ten or
more. Then redesign the sales page
? make it much better than the original.
Then offer it to joint venture partners
who may be interested in promoting
it alongside you. Don?t worry about
taking a smaller commission ? offer
them 60% or more ? remember that a
good JV will put your offer in front
of thousands and aside from the orders
you?ll generate you?re also building
your list with paying customers.
We?ve covered a lot of ground today
in a short space of time but I?d like
to leave you with a final strategy
? articles. Even if you?ve heard it
before, are you doing it as much as
you should be? You can whip up a good
quality article in under an hour and
submit it to literally hundreds of
sites. Viral marketing at it?s best
and pretty much free too. Articles
can bring about a lot of traffic for
you, assuming you have written an
informative, entertaining piece (never
ever just write an article that is
a hybrid of your sales page ? it won?t
be picked up and will hamper your
future efforts to get published).
What you?ve read above is a basic
blue-print for succeeding with resale
rights products. Remember that Rome
was not built in a day ? keep working
at your business, keep doing the right
things and over time you will be rewarded.
