If you've been involved in making money on the internet, you will no doubt have
tried affiliate marketing at some point. For the uninitiated, affiliate
marketing is the process of selling another person's product for a percentage of
the product cost. This is a great way to get your internet marketing efforts up
and running quickly and generate some instant profits, you can refer prospects
to a sales page using Google Adwords within a few hours or by ezine advertising
in a couple of days.
But although affiliate marketing is a great
opportunity for quick profits it has several disadvantages, the biggest of which
is that you don't get to keep all the money! This article is focusing only on
information products so we'll ignore the measly 10 - 15% of offer for hard goods
at online stores like Amazon etc, but even with info products the norm is around
the 50% mark.
So ask yourself this – why should you go
to all the bother and expense of generating a sale when you only get to keep
half of the money? Wouldn't you rather keep it all?
There is a way to
keep 100% of your "affiliate" sales, by securing the resale rights to the
product. If you own or have right to resell the product, you get to keep all of
the money instead of having a large percentage of it deducted by the vendor.
Now doesn't that sound better?
There are several
ways that you can obtain resale rights to all sorts of information products and
packages. Firstly you could just do a search on Google or Yahoo for "resale
rights" and "information" or "software". These will return a lot of results and
you could uncover some good products that you can sell using this method. Watch
out however for packages that are stuffed with tired old books that everyone's
already read - nobody will buy these.
Then there's our old friend eBay.
Again you may find the odd one or two new titles that you can buy and get resale
rights to, but the vast majority of ebooks on sale at online auctions are very
low priced products that have become devalued by being undercut by one vendor
after another. You will not make very much money on products that are selling
for 99 cents on eBay!
The only real way to make money with resale rights
is to buy good quality, fresh, exciting products that are in demand. Make it
your business to search out high quality top-end material that you can buy the
rights for and you will be able to sell it for months and even years to come.
