What Are Resale Rights

Writen by Roy Miller

The concept of "resale rights" might be new to you (some people say "resell rights" instead). What does it mean?

Generally, resale rights are rights to resell a product. Not rocket science, is it? You usually have to purchase resale rights. The price you pay lets you resell the product to your customers, bundle it with other products to create your own new products, etc.

What "resale rights" means depends on what kind of resale rights you're talking about. Here's a quick overview.

Some rights aren't really of the resale flavor at all. You can acquire "giveaway rights" to a product, which lets you give the product away, but not charge anything for it. But staying focused on resale rights in particular, there are three major varieties:

1. Resale Rights. This is the basic right to resell a product, usually with no right to change the product's content.
2. Master Resale Rights. These give you the right to resell the product, but also to resell the right to resell the product. You still (typically) can't change the content of the product.
3. Private Label Rights. These rights let you change the content of the product. You can edit it as you see fit, and attach your name to it as the author.

You're likely to pay more for master rights than for basic resale rights, and you're likely to pay the highest price for private label rights. But those varieties usually give you greater opportunities to profit. They can be worth the money.

Now that you know what the terms mean, you won't be lost in the weeds when you're shopping for resale rights.

What To Look For In An Internet Biz

Writen by Adrianne Geyer

There are literally thousands of internet businesses out there. How could you possible know which one to choose? A good place to begin is with what you are interested in. Is it health and wellness, sports, online gaming, crafts, gift baskets, etc. Selecting an interest will narrow down your search for an internet business.

COMPENSATION PLAN
Once you know what kind of internet business you would like to promote, you will need to look at how well you will be compensated for you efforts. Most internet businesses require an initial fee to get started, which could range from a low startup to a considerable amount.

Matrix Structure
If you had to establish a downline on your own, it could take a lot of time and effort for the little bit of money you may receive from your members. If your internet business included a forced matrix structure, you would build your downline with the members who came in before you, know as spillover from your upline, and also with the members you directly referred to your internet business. Matrix means that you and your upline are only allowed a certain number of people on each level. This creates an environment that when you and your upline continue referring new people and a level is filled, the new members are pushed down into your group under other people you and your upline have previously referred. The matrix will fill from your efforts as well as from the efforts of your upline, which means your income will grow at a faster pace.

If you work alone you will have built a downline of only the members you personally referred. In a matrix, that number will be much greater due to spillover. At the end of the month, the matrix will compress and fill in all the spaces left by the people that are inactive. This will move people up into a vacant spot.

The potential to build an income using a matrix structure is good; but it's not a quick process; it may take several months to see significant results. There are no qualifying or group volume requirements to start earning money. You will begin earning when the first member joins from your website.

Bonuses
When a visitor joins or makes a purchase from your website, many companies pay you a one time, fast start bonus. The visitor will now become part of your downline, and you will begin earning a monthly residual income from each purchase your downline members make.

TRANING & SUPPORT
Other than the product or service, the training you receive is the most important element to starting your internet business. A good support team will teach you step-by-step, how to go about online & offline marketing, how to increase your sales, and other important elements of running your internet business to be successful. Make sure your questions are answered so you understand what the internet business is about and what you're expected to do.

Also keep in mind that you will need to set aside a budget to market your internet business. Choose a business that has online and offline marketing tools to help you grow your business. Many companies provide online training tools and resources to help you get familiar with the products and/or services you will be marketing. Utilize these tools frequently, and find out who to contact when you need help.

I also suggest that you invest in educating yourself about promoting a business on the internet. Make sure the internet business you choose provide you with an ample supply of educational material. You will also want to stay in touch with your upline. If your sponsor cannot answer your questions, then keep going up the list until you find someone who will be able to help you.

You Know Youre Too Ethical When

Writen by Judith Kallos

Yeah, TOO ethical!? Lately, with some of the issues I've had to deal with in my day to day business activities it seems I am one of the rare few who is concerned about proper ethics and naturally is inclined to react with integrity.

The last straw was when faced with a dilemma of one of my client's competitors "cheating" for positioning online by using tactics obviously against the terms of service for most search sites, in this case Google. I explained that they had great listings (only one slot below the cheaters) and that our plan was for long term successes while the other guy's could end at any moment. I then had to listen to this client lecture that I was too ethical when I would not use these same tactics to help gain listings for their site. They then commented "We'll have to work on you!"

Work on making me less ethical? Work on getting me to agree to break the rules? It seems as of late my solid methodology of strong business staples, knowledge acquisition and long term strategizing seems to be making me a real PIA. See, I am not one of those who will say what a potential client wants to hear just to get the call back stating "send us a contract." Nor do I cater to the hype and online schemes of quick results or easy income just to book another billable hour. Silly me.

How about all those online auctions where the item's price is $1.00 only to find out they charge you the balance of the product's cost in "shipping and handling" fees? I sure wish eBay would nip that in the bud! Shipping and handling should be shipping and handling, not a combo of the product's price just so the seller can be listed as the least expensive – when in fact they are not.

I contacted one such seller online about this strategy and was typed to as though I was the idiot – "do the math" he said. Is everything online turning into the best man wins that figures out how to use deceptive practices or sugar-coat reality to the point of making your teeth ache just to make a buck? On second thought, don't answer that...

I've been doing this long enough to know all the red flags, hype and pitfalls. And some of them do work in the short term - with certain demographics. I also know the right way to do things and that if followed you will succeed - but you may not have the instant results all the fast, cheap and easy noise online claims is possible. When you deviate from the line of what is right, it will always hit you in the back of the head. Yes, sooner or later – sometimes later – but what comes around always does go around – even online.

I may have lost a client to an unscrupulous "black hat" SEO firm using trickery and linking schemes to inflate results for the near term. But for the long term, these issues as well as many others I run into are simply not in my character to cater to when I know what is right – and I won't.

You know you're too ethical when:

=> You give your clients the details and real-world view of what is required to achieve online success – whether it is what they prefer to hear or not.

=> You do not minimize what is involved in efforts, time or cost to reach their goals.

=> You are clear and realistic about your own skill set and only offer services you excel at.

=> You provide referrals to other juried businesses whose expertise is outside your realm of experience.

=> You charge a fair price for your offerings reflecting the quality of the product/service offered.

=> You point out to clients in detail when their goals are unrealistic and why.

=> You don't hide your product's actual cost in other "fees".

=> You have your terms, policies or modus operandi available online for client review 24/7 and you back them up.

=> You back up your work, offering refunds when necessary and don't charge to remedy oversights or errors on your part.

=> You do not buckle to clients or customers who demand you deviate from what you know is right just to get their business.

=> You don't e-mail anyone without their explicit permission to do so - period!

My business is all about ethics and integrity in an industry of hype and misinformation. I've not signed every potential client that has come my way, but that is O.K. I know that for those who are smarties and hire me that they made the right choice for all the right reasons – not because I was willing to compromise my ethics, cut corners or break the rules just so either of us could make a buck. In the long term, we both succeed.

It's so nice to be able to look at my cute little face in the mirror each day when I go home. For those who haven't been able to do that lately, add a dose of integrity to your life – you might find honesty refreshing and actually freeing compared to sinister deception for commercial gain.

Two Steps To An Investmentfree Online Empire

Writen by Joseph Pattison

If you're like most of us, you're not on a budget that allows you to spend massive amounts of money on advertising for your Internet marketing campaign. With that in mind, let me show you a fairly simple two-step formula for profiting online with little or no investment.

How much does it cost you to write an informative Internet marketing article? The only cost is a little time, but essentially it's free. The key is to write as many articles as possible, not just one or two.

After you've written a number of articles, go ahead and submit these to the top twenty article directories, as well as the top twenty ezine article directories. Be sure to follow their submission guidelines. I recommend you format your sentences at no more than 60 characters per line to meet the requirements of these different directories.

At the end of each of your articles you will include a resource box that entices your readers to click through to, not your website, but your free blog! Remember how I told you this method would be investment-free?

For a general idea of what a resource box looks like, take a look at mine at the end of this article. Offer readers a benefit for clicking through to your blog, and they most assuredly will.

You can create a blog in minutes by going to blogger.com. Then continue to do what you've been doing already; keep writing articles. Devote half of your time to writing articles for submission, and half of your time to creating quality content for your blog.

On the side of your blog, create links to the five to seven best products that offer affiliate programs that you are signed up for. Include them under a heading that is most appropriate for your topic.

Include "sleeper links" to merchant sites that you can earn affiliate commission from. Don't create blog entries that are nothing more than product pitches. Make your blog entries informative, and tie in subtle endorsements to products that help to meet their needs.

For example, read the sentence a couple of paragraphs above where I told you that you could "create a blog in minutes by going to blogger.com". Simple, isn't it? As a general rule, don't include affiliate links in more than 30-40% of your blog entries. If you do, your visitor will feel like you're trying to constantly sell them.

Besides, if your blog entries are information-rich and informative, they will keep reading and eventually run into one or more of your affiliate links anyway! Chances are that they will likely click on one of your affiliate links located on the side of your blog page as well.

While you will eventually want to get your own website, if you are on a shoestring budget, this is the best method that I am aware of for profiting without spending a dime, or selling your own product. By creating quality content on a regular basis, repeat visits are virtual guaranteed, and the more articles you submit, the higher your affiliate commission will be!

**Attn Ezine editors/Site owners** Feel free to reprint this article in its entirety in your ezine or on your site so long as you leave all links in place, do not modify the content and include our resource box as listed below. Feel free to substitute your referral link in place of ours in the resource box. Thanks!

Do Free Online Classified Sites Really Bring You Customers

Writen by Dale Calvert

The question is…DO FREE CLASSIFIED AD SITES REALLY WORK? The answer is yes and no. I know that is not the answer you wanted to hear, but it is the truth.

Let me try to explain further. All marketing is numbers! The more advertising methods you are using in the market place, ultimately the more website visitors you will have and the more sales you will make.

With that said, a few years ago when we rolled out our web cash leads program (http://www.WebCashLeads.com) we had associates using every method possible to drive traffic to their affiliate sites. There is no question that the best 2 ways to drive traffic to any website is with Pay Per Click Search engines such as Google and Overture along with solo ads in marketing ezines.

However FREE classified ad sites will work, provided that you are promoting a product or service that ADVERTISER can benefit from. Please re-read that statement. You must promote a product or services that A D V E R T I S E R S want!

What I am really saying is that not that many consumers actually visit a lot of the FREE advertising sites on the web, but a TON of Website owners see ads while searching to make sure their personal ad appears on the site. Does that make sense?

So if you can promote a product or service that website owners can use your chances for clicks and sales increase dramatically. I can tell you dozens of success stories from marketers that have used FREE classified sites to market their products and services. I can also share with you dozens of horror stories from associates who have wasted hours posting to FREE Classified Ad sites with little or no results.

So should you use FREE Advertising Sites are not? After all it can be very time consuming to post to these sites? We personally post to FREE advertising sites every week, and we make sales weekly. However we have a secret to our success.

We use a completely automated Classified Ad Blaster that allows us to submit unlimited free ads to over 50,000 classified ads sites with just a couple of clicks of the mouse! That is right we can submit our ad to over FIFTY THOUSAND free classified ad sites in less than 5 minutes!

With those kinds of "numbers" no wonder we get a lot of website traffic and sales weekly from FREE Classified Ad sites. You can work hard, or you can work smart. In all businesses time is money and marketing comes down to numbers. Our submitter allow us to go post on huge numbers of boards in less than 5 minutes, we think it makes much more sense to approach marketing with FREE classified ad sites this way, than trying to submit our ads 1 by 1, what about you? You can get all the details about the classified ad submitter we use, along with several other great promotional products at www.Tunza.TipForSuccess.com

We wish you much success in your Free Classified Ad, advertising efforts.
