Resale Rights & PLR| Article #43 : Resale Rights – Basic Rights

Now that we've had our little introduction to resale rights, we're going to get into the specifics of each kind of resale rights. We'll start off with just simple resale rights where the only thing you can do with the product is resell it. You can't change it in any way and you can't give other people rights to sell it.

One of the very first products I ever sold was a simple resell rights product. It was a book that's still being sold today. The book is called "Secrets Of The Big Dogs." I am sure by now, many of you have heard of it. I hope so. It's only been around since 2001. And yeah, people laugh at me when I tell them that I still sell this ancient wonder. But you know what? After 4 years of promoting this long forgotten work, I am still making a nice chunk of change from it.

The concept is simple. You buy the book yourself, or not. You really don't have to in order to sell it. To do that, all you have to do is sign up with Clickbank and get your Clickbank hoplink in order to promote it. With each sale of the item, you get a commission percentage. In this case, it's 50% of the $19.95 that the book sells for. It comes out to $8.73 per sale for US sales and about $8.60 for non US sales. If you're wondering why that's actually less than 50%, it's because Clickbank takes a small percentage of the sale price.

After you've signed up with Clickbank and received your hoplink, you can then go out and promote the book. Since you have only simple resell rights, all you can do is sell the book. You can't offer people any rights to sell the book themselves. They have to do that through the vendor or through the vendor's affiliate program. You also can't modify the book in any manner shape or form. Plus, you can't sell the book for any more or less than the listed sale price. You also can't tell customers that they can do anything they like with the book.

While you're thinking that this kind of puts everybody in the same boat who promotes a simple resale rights product, it doesn't. Why? Because there is something that you can do to set yourself apart from anybody else who sells the same product.

While you can't make any changes at all to the product you are selling or give away any rights along with it, there is something you can do. Somewhere on that dusty old hard drive of yours there has to be something that you own rights to. Maybe it's your own product. Maybe it's a product you bought that gives you the right to sell it or give it away. If so, this is what you do and it's what I do. It makes a big difference in sales.

Offer bonuses.

Tell people in your ads that if they purchase the product you're promoting, as a bonus, you'll send them your book on, whatever. Just tell them to send you their receipt. Trust me, this is a great way to make some extra sales.

Simple resale rights may have a lot of restrictions tied to them. That doesn't mean you can't turn a resale rights product into a profitable venture for yourself.
