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.
