Using Resell Rights eBooks To Build A List
When online entrepreneurs purchase resell rights eBooks, they usually think that the only way they can make use of them is to sell them, for example on eBay, or their own website.
However, “giving away” resell rights eBooks for free, could provide you with something far more valuable than the few dollars you would get from the sale of the eBook – a list! By enticing customers to give you their email address in return for a free eBook or report, you can build your list much more rapidly than most other methods.
What is a “list” and why is it such a valuable asset to have?
When setting up an online business, a list is one of the most important assets that you can build.
A list is basically building up a database of email addresses, collected through an autoresponder, of people who have opted in to the offer you have provided.
You would then have a list of people that are all interested in the niche of that eBook – who then become potential buyers for future products, services and affiliate products you can promote to them! Also, because you know exactly what interests them, they are often extremely responsive to future offers you promote to them, and can become repeat customers.
What types of resell rights eBooks or reports should I give away?
The type of resell rights eBooks or reports that you should give away depends on which niche you wish to target, and what products or services you plan to promote to your list in the future.It may be worth thinking about the types of offers you intend to promote, before giving away your free report.
For example, if you intend to promote a Clickbank product in the future about muscle gain, then the eBook you give away now should be something that appeals to this niche, without completely solving their problem. For example, your free eBook may be about “preparing your body for a weight training regime”, which would give a few basic nutrition and fitness tips, but would not go in-depth about every weight training exercise, or else they would have no need to purchase another weight training product at a later date!
You should always make your report as good quality as possible, as this is how you will earn trust and a good reputation with your subscribers.
When giving away resell rights ebooks, chances are there are other people giving them away as well, so try to make yours slightly original from theirs. This does not have to be complicated – after all you are giving away the product for free – but could include adding or rewriting part of the content to adapt it more to your personal style, adding a new eBook cover, and checking for spelling mistakes.
Where can I give away resell rights eBooks in return for email addresses?
There are a number of places you can do this:
Firstly, a “squeeze page” is one of the most used places for implementing this tactic.
A squeeze page is basically a one page website, or page of a website, that collects email addresses in return for giving away something free. However, you will still need to drive traffic to this squeeze page in the first place in order to get people to sign up, or else they won’t even know its there! You can link to your squeeze page using some of the methods below.
eBay classified ads – You can advertise just about any product or service using eBay classified ads, and this is a perfect place to put up a squeeze page. You will benefit from all of the traffic that eBay has already, so it maybe easier to get signups than through you own hosted squeeze page.
Craigslist – this is another place where you can place a classified ad displaying your squeeze page or opt-in form to give away resell rights eBooks.
Forums – always check the rules of the forum, but some may allow you to post a link to your squeeze page so that their readers can download your free eBook, as long as the topic is relevant to the forum.
You Tube – creating a short video on You Tube explaining the benefits of your free eBook, with a link to your squeeze page, is a fantastic way to get a lot of sign ups to your offer.
I hope this article has provided you with some inspiration as to how you can give away resell rights eBooks, in order to build a list, and therefore, your eBooks resale business.
