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.
