Master Resale Rights ebooks and software are perhaps the most popular type of resale rights products, with sellers and customers alike. This article explains what master resale rights are and how you can take advantage of them in your business.
Your rights
As with basic resale rights, master resale rights allow you to resell an ebook or software product and keep all the profit for your business. However, unlike basic rights, master resale rights also allow you to pass the right to resell to your customers - they can sell and profit from the ebook or software too, as can their customers.
For those of you selling to other businesses, this gives master resale rights products a clear edge, in terms of sales potential, over basic resale rights products. Business customers will naturally be more attracted to - more likely to buy - products that they can both use, to gain new strategies, skills and tools, and also resell.
With rare exceptions, you must pass on the right to resell to your customers, like it or not. If your customers are consumers - people buying strictly for personal use - basic resale rights products will probably be more appropriate for your business.
Most master resale rights products come with ready-made sales pages. Many also include thank-you pages and graphics. You can sell master resale rights products individually, as part of a package of resale products, or as bonuses with paid-for products. This is one area where there is a great deal of variation - check the license to be sure you are complying with the author's terms and conditions of sale.
Authors often suggest a sales price for their master resale rights ebooks and software but ultimately it is up to you how much you charge. However, it is "good practice" in the resale rights community to price within much the same ballpark as others selling the same product. When everyone does this everyone has a chance to generate worthwhile sales and profits from the product.
Using master resale rights ebooks and software
You can do more with master resale rights ebooks and software than simply sell them. For instance, you can:
Restrictions on use
For authors, master resale rights generate both short and long-term sales. In addition to immediate sales revenue, products contain links to their website and affiliate programs. Giving everyone in the sales chain the right to resell ensures the ebook or software reaches a large audience for these potentially profitable links.
With this in mind, a key restriction on the use of master resale rights ebooks and software is that you cannot alter or remove these links, or any other element of the product. It must be sold "as is."
The disadvantage of master resale rights products is competition, created by the fact that everyone has the right to resell them - you, your customers, and their customers. The key to minimising competition is to be one of the first to sell the ebook or software, or to concentrate on products for niche markets.
Finding quality master resale rights products
As everyone has the right to resell master resale rights products, they are widely available from a variety of sources. Many websites sell them individually, as packages, or as part of a large collection of all types of resale rights ebooks and software - basic, master, PLR and giveaway rights.
For the best value and choice, consider joining a quality resale rights membership site. Most offer free as well as paid memberships, with no additional charges for downloads.
Because competition is a concern, it is important to find sources that regularly add new products. Master resale rights products that have been marketed online for some time are not viable options for healthy sales and profits - they face too much competition.
In addition, select websites with a wide enough range of master resale rights products to enable you to pursue niche market opportunities - an effective way to sidestep competition. Again, membership sites are the best option for this.
Assess before selling
As with all types of resale rights products, the quality of the ebooks and software you sell will reflect on your business, and affect the potential for repeat sales. An advantage to joining a membership site is that you can download as many ebooks or software products as you like and check them out before offering them for sale.
Business customers - the type of customer master resale rights products best suit - will naturally want the latest information, tools and strategies. This falls in line with what you want - products that are relatively "hot off the press."
Run a quick search using "exact match" to gauge how new the ebook or software product is. A lot of results will suggest that they have been available for some time.
Finally, always check the license for variations from the rights described here. Some authors are more or less generous than others regarding use of their master resale rights ebooks and software.
