or private label rights software and information

products online? If the answer is yes, we'll bet

the products you're attempting to sell are related

to the internet marketing industry.

Its much easier and more profitable to target niches

that have a high demand, but a lot less competition

than internet marketing.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

We're talking about the niches that millions of

"common everyday folks" are searching for like

home improvement, hobbies & crafts, health care,

child care, etc. Come see our new offer just for YOU:

Featured Article

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

- by Sharon Bray-McPherson

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Selling products with resale rights is a very

lucrative business online. However, not everyone

achieves success because of the various nuances

involved with such a business.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

To assure maximum profitability in the resale rights

niche, learning how to present your products correctly

is of much importance. To accomplish this involves

some knowledge on the different factors that make or

break resale rights marketing.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

So, let’s take a look at these factors, the difficulty

they present and what solutions you can use to come up

with a resale rights product that your prospective

customers will find hard to resist.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

1. Exclusiveness. People will be more inclined to buy

your products if their sale is limited to a certain

number of people. There are many reasons for this.

Primarily is the fact that resale rights are so

appealing because they provide the buyer the

opportunity to create an additional income stream,

or in some instances, their only source of income.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

But if the product is sold to an unlimited number

of people, the market becomes saturated, leaving

little room to make a profit. The same is true for

products that are sold to a limited number of people,

but the number is in the hundreds, if not thousands.

The best approach is to sell your products to a maximum

of 100 people, though a lower number will always prove

better for you and your buyers.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

2. Price. Though you are justified to sell a resale

rights package for a price higher than the value of

the products, if you ask an outrageous amount you'll

have difficulty making sales. As a rule, the best way

to set the price of your package is to multiply the

value of the highest priced product by three. But

remember, the lower the price, the more tempting your

offer will be.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

On the other hand, you don't want to set the price so

low that the buyer will perceive the products as being

of no value. Far too often sellers will ask a ridiculously

low price for brand new, hot-off-the-press products, some

with an original asking price of $197. This accomplishes

nothing more than to make a few quick sales for the seller.

The buyer however, is then faced with trying to sell a

product at it's original value, while others are charging

as little as $1 to $5 - or giving away the same product

for free.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

3. Restrictions. Many resale rights products come with

restrictions. But too many restrictions may turn away

some who would otherwise be interested in purchasing your

product. It is best to place only the restrictions that

will preserve the value of the product for the benefit

of your buyers.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

4. Market life. Trying to sell a product that is at or

nearing the end of its market life can be difficult.

People will find little value in it since they'll have

the impression that they’ll have a hard time selling it as

well. To overcome their concern, suggest a unique selling

proposition they could use. For example, recommend the

inclusion of valuable bonuses to increase the appeal of

the product. Or you can recommend the inclusion of

additional, related products to come up with a turnkey

package that will likewise increase the offer’s

attractiveness.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

There really is no set time limit to when a product has

reached the end of its shelf life, although the standard

thinking is 2 to 3 years.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

Here are a few things to consider when determining if

a product is no longer sellable...

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

* Is the content still applicable? For instance, with

the fast-paced internet marketing industry, an ebook or

software product that was released only last year may

already be obsolete. However, there are some marketing

classics, particularly those created from public domain

works, that are as timely today as they were when they

were written.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

* Is the market over-saturated with the product? We've

all seen products that are being sold by every Tom, Dick

and Harriet. It is best to stay away from such products,

because no matter how low you set the price of the product,

someone else will always be selling it cheaper.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

One caveat to this is if you cater to the "newbie" market.

There's no reason that an ebook that was published in 1998

cannot be sold to new internet marketers, provided of course

that the product has value and contains information that is

still relevant.

[if !supportEmptyParas] [endif]

What's old stuff to us, may be just what a "newbie" is

looking for.

A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car

on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded

to see that the lady behind the wheel was knitting!

Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights

and siren, the trooper cranked down his window, turned on

his bullhorn and yelled, "PULL OVER!"

"NO!" the gal yelled back, "IT'S A SCARF!"

Grandma's apron

I don't think our kids know what an apron is.

The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect

the dress underneath, but along with that, it served

as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.

It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on

occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying

eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to

be finished in the warming oven.

When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding

places for shy kids.

And when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it

around her arms.

Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow,

bent over the hot wood stove.

Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen

in that apron.

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables.

After the peas had been shelled, it carried out

the hulls.

In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples

that had fallen from the trees.

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was

surprising how much furniture that old apron could

dust in a matter of seconds.

When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the

porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time

to come in from the fields to dinner.

It will be a long time before someone invents

something that will replace that "old-time apron"

that served so many purposes.

Send this to those who would know and love the

story about Grandma's aprons.

REMEMBER

Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the

window sill to cool.

Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill

to thaw.
