Can
You Really Make A Fortune Off Of Reprint Rights?
by: Willie Crawford
Visit Ebay or any of ten thousand other websites and
you'll see people offering reprint rights everywhere.
They all tell you that with their great reprint rights
you'll be in business instantly with "your own
product" and that you get to keep all of the
money.
By can you really make money selling reprint rights
and is it worth your time?
Let me give you a few examples from my personal experience,
and then you be the judge....
I'll start with the most recent rights I bought first.
After reading Paul Hancox ebook "Small changes:
Big Profits - How to quickly and easily make more
sales from your website," I saw that he offered
reprint rights for only $149. This product had a suggested
retail price of $27, which I had gladly paid and I
was very satisfied with the product.
To digress a little... one of my criteria for buying
reprint rights is that I have to have actually used
the product FIRST. I won't offer my list something
that I have not seen, read, touched, experienced,
and enjoyed. I suggest that if you are going to offer
your list a product that you adopt the same rule.
Anyway.... I reasoned that if I invested $149 in Paul's
reprint rights I only needed 6 sales to break even.
So it wasn't a very big risk. Therefore I went for
it! I sent a mailing to my list but before I even
did that, I began mentioning the book in personal
emails to clients and friends. In less than a day
I had tripled my money. After sending a mailing to
my I list had multiplied my money by some embarrassing
number of times!
This product was the type of reprint rights that I
like to buy. It's a product that I know is needed....
I can put up a simple sales page and I know that the
product will sell itself for years to come. I know
that with very little effort I'll earn over $1000
a month in profits from that simple product. You can

to see how simple my marketing is for this ebook.
Another product that I market the same way is a $19
interview on how to host your own seminars and teleseminars.
Fred Gleeck (who has done over 1350 seminars) was
interviewed by Jim Lanford and they recorded it. When
Audrey Lanford decided to sell her business at WZ.com
she offer reprint rights to Fred's interview. The
rights were less than $150...if I am not mistaken.
I run ads for this interview/ebook in various targeted
ezines and mention it on a few of my sites. It routinely
earns me $500 to $1000 per month. All this with very
little effort on my part because the product sells
itself. You can see how I have this set-up at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/your-own-seminar.html
A third example of how simple it can be, is that I
purchased the reprint rights to Bob Serling's Power
Copywriting For The Internet from Corey Rudl's Internet
Marketing Center. These rights cost me just under
$1000 and the suggested retail price for the course
is $147. It took me less than a month to recoup my
investment, and every month I do very well with that
product too. You can check it out at: http://PowerCopyWritingForTheInternetByBobSerling.com
Notice with that last example how I got a domain name
that had my keywords in it and that it's fairly easy
to remember... if you know the copywriter? That domain
name costs me less than $8 per year and my hosting
is only $5 per month. That's for something that semi-automatically
generates over $1000 per month :-)
I could give you numerous other examples, but won't.
You get the point. I put on a teleseminar on buying
and selling reprint rights a while back and recorded
that teleseminar. I then turned the teleseminar into
another income stream as well as offered reprint rights
to it! Do you see how easy this can be? That teleseminar
with myself and internet marketing expert (and lawyer)
Dr. Bob Silber took less than 2 hours to do, and also
generates an embarrassing amount each month. You can
check it out at: http://AmazingProfitsBuyingAndSellingReprintRights.com
... another clever name :-)
I mentioned that you can grab domain names for as
little as $8 per year and host them for as little
as $5 per month. I get my domain names through my
own registration service at: http://williecrawford.com/domains/
I host many of my sites at Host4Profit. You can check
them out at: http://WillieCrawford.com/myhost.html
So now I've convinced you that you can do well with
the correct reprint rights! The key again is to know
and love the product. Know that it will provide your
customers with genuine value. Check out my teleseminar

I did come across some terrific reprint rights this
week that I will recommend. They are offered by Rebecca
Hagel. She is only offering 20 licenses total, so
you won't face crazy competition. I really love her
material! You can check out Becky's reprint rights

To answer my question, "Can you really make a
fortune off of reprint rights" ... that depends
upon your definition of "fortune." However,
I generate several very nice income streams from reprint
rights, as I've just shared with you. I know many
others doing the same. I don't see why you can't too.
