SELLING MASTER RESALE RIGHTS PRODUCTS You’ve already learned how to give away those products that had “giveaway rights”, well now it is time to learn how to sell your Master Resale Rights products that you have been buying, hopefully at a reasonable cost. You may recall from the earlier newsletter that you became familiar with that market because you joined a lot of “lists” when you partook in a giveaway as a user (not as a contributor, later on). In order to sell your product to that new list of yours that you are building (we will go over other traffic methods shortly) you need to take the sales page that came with the Master Resale Rights product (most come with them), and change it just a little bit to include your name, etc. The key to this whole sales process is sending people to that “landing page” where they will buy the product by tapping on a payment link which you will also have to provide. Make sure you have a Paypal account, and are comfortable developing a “payment button” so you can copy and paste that code into your sales page near the bottom, so folks can buy your product. This will take some practice as you learn to edit the sales page in Kompozer, and you learn to make a payment button and get it on to the sales page. You will also need to either copy and edit a “download page” that is provided with the Master Resale Rights product, or make your own, so that after someone buys, they get sent to the download page directly via Paypal. Although this is easy once you get the hang of it, it will take a day or two of very concentrated study on your part to get this all down right, since you will have to use your FTP program and make sure everything is going to the right place, etc. You will also need to test your paypal button and the whole sales process, so you may want to do this with a second paypal account or a friend’s paypal account, setting the price on one payment button to only a few cents to test. This is the most rewarding kind of sale to make because you can keep all of the money you get less the Paypal fees. You don’t have to share the commission with the vendor, since you ARE the vendor. In the next newsletter we’ll take a look at other ways to get traffic to your site so that you can make these sales. So far, your list is still pretty small, and consists of mostly “freebie seekers” who came onboard through the giveaways. That doesn’t mean they wont buy anything, but its time to continue to build your list of subscribers. One thing you will need when making simple web pages of your own, also known as “mini-sites”, and for other very simple tasks, is a web page editor. While you can do it in Microsoft Word, Wordpad and other text editors, many folks choose to start out by download the free program called Kompozer, formerly known as NVU. The Graphical User Interface makes it very easy to use, but it is a powerful program. There are tutorials on how to use it online as well. One way you will use Kompozer in a very simple fashion is to change the name on sales pages so that YOUR name appears on them. You can do other simple tasks like changing the price, adding a “form” from your autoresponder so you capture folks information such as their name and email, and more. These are all basic functions that are simple to do, and you should make sure you learn to do them as we progress. So go download what could be the best freebie ever, Kompozer, and have a blast!
BLOGGING
The very first thing you should consider starting with when it comes to making money online is blogging. If you establish a blog, not only is it free, but you can monetize it in several ways. What is a blog? A blog, originally known as “weblog” is a continuous string of posts that you make about whatever you want to talk about. It can be reviews, information about your particular niche, or just what your thoughts are on the world at hand. If you are sharing valuable information in a particular “niche” you can actually get sponsors to post ads on your blog. However it is easier to monetize your blog in other ways. For instance, there is Google. Google has the “Adsense Program”, named because the ads actually “sense” what you are blogging about and match the topics accordingly. I will have more information on Adsense for you shortly. There is also something very smart that you can do. You can advertise other people’s products on your blog, by being an “affiliate” for them. I’ll be going over that as well. For now, the most common thing to do is to get your free “Wordpress” blog and install it on your server. That isn’t very hard to do. So go ahead to Wordpress.com now and download and install your free Wordpress blog and let’s forge ahead! There is no doubt that you have seen those little “mini-ads” that pop up on websites throughout the web. Those little ads are something that you may someday place yourself on other people’s pages. For now, though, consider this – if you take those ads and place them on your blog, or your website.. YOU will get paid anytime somebody clicks on them! Go ahead to Google.com and sign up for their Adsense program. It is right there under “advertising programs” on the main page. Take your time and look around a bit. If you have not already started your Wordpress blog, then you can go to Blogger.com and start a free blog there. (Wordpress is more versatile, so prepare to move to that eventually). Whatever topic you choose to write about on your blog, the ads that you are going to place will act like a chameleon and those ads will match that subject. (Thus “Ad-sense”) Now go ahead in and practice making the little ads, and copying and pasting the proper code onto your website or blog. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with Wordpress, or Blogger enough so you know how to do this. I’m leaving some of those fine details up to you to research. Some topics you choose to write about will actually be more lucrative than others. For instance, if you were to write about criminal law, there would be attorneys advertising their services which would yield a higher payout per click! Still, I suggest you write about a subject that you enjoy. |
