Buy or Create?

Buying Private Label E-book Resell Rights versus Writing Your Own

Another day of unbroken sunshine, the sound of skylarks chattering above me and kids passing my house on the way to the river as I tried to decide whether or not to paint the fence, and I was pondering the idea of buying some PLR products.

The popularity of e-books in my opinion has rapidly increased over the past few years now.  Many readers are not only finding it convenient to purchase them, but cheaper.  In most cases, e-books are easily to read on the computer, but they can also be printed off. Since more and more consumers are interested in purchasing e-books, there are more individuals who are looking to make money off of them. If you are able to do this, you may find success; however, that success will not come without hard work.

If you have never created an e-book before, it is difficult to understand exactly how much hard work it entails.  To be worth the buy, most e-books are at least one hundred pages long; however, some are longer.  If you are interested in creating an e-book, it may take months for you to finish the book. In addition to hard work, you must also have writing experience and knowledge on the topic that you are writing about. This knowledge and experience isn’t necessarily necessary; however, it is important to the success of your e-book.  It is a fact that customers do not and will not purchase poor quality work.

In addition to writing a quality e-book, you will also have to find ways to sell it. Together, the two could take a large amount of time. For many individuals, this is a major turn off; however, there are alternatives.  If you are interested in selling e-books, to make a profit, you do not necessarily have to create your own.  Instead you can obtain the private label resell rights to another e-book.  Obtaining the resell rights to an e-book will allow you, in many cases, to assume to the work as your own, edit the content, and pocket the money from each sale of the book.

The biggest downside to obtaining the resell rights to an e-book is the amount of money that you will have to spend.  Depending on who you do business with, the cost of acquiring private label resell rights may be fairly expensive. Since most freelance writers spend a large amount of time creating their e-books, as previously mentioned, they may want to appropriately be compensated. The cost of resell rights to an e-book may be considered a disadvantage to this unique business opportunity, but it can also be considered an advantage.  E-book authors that charge more for their work typically have produced better content; better content is easier to sell.

Whether you make the decision to develop your own e-book or purchase the resell rights to someone else’s, you will still have to find a way to market the e-book to the general public.  This, depending on what approach you take, can take time. That is why many individuals prefer purchasing the resell rights to an e-book that has already been created.  This allows them to spend more time on marketing, which will in turn create sales.

If you are unsure as to whether or not you should create your own e-book or obtain the resell rights to another, you are not alone. There are a number of other individuals wondering the same thing. Private label resell rights are an amazing business opportunity for some, but not for all. There is a great free audio course on private label resell rights at www.plrtips.com check this out today. All online business opportunities take time to find success.  If you have the financial resources needed to obtain the resell rights to a well written e-book, you are encouraged to give this opportunity a shot.  You are not guaranteed results, but you may be surprised with what you find.

If you try the resell rights route to an e-book and the experience is not what you had in mind you can begin to create your own e-books or move onto another business opportunity. After you have paid for the resell rights to an e-book, it is yours to do with what you wnat within the terms of the licence.

P.S

A friend of mine is starting a new membership site and I thought you may like to have a look at it. http://www.lkldigitalmedia.com
It is set to launch within the next two weeks and he has guaranteed everybody who requests advance notification a massive discount if they decide to join. He is also letting you have a whole bunch of brand new downloads for free as a thankyou for requesting info. He guarantees to upload brand new ebooks and software packages every week (at least 2 but probably more for the first few months). The big news is that it’s going to be the cheapest membership site on the internet but still providing all the top products that the big boys offer. Anyway, take a look and decide for yourself and get the free downloads while you can as the page and the special opening deal will be getting pulled next week. Once again it’s at http://www.lkldigitalmedia.com

  1. Hi Colin,

    Great post. Yes, writing your own ebook is a task but it does give unique content, which is a plus every time. And 120,000 other people haven’t already bought it to sell on.

    Enjoy the journey.

  2. Hi Colin, great post my friend, with some good points raised. Have you seen any of the videos that Socrates Socratous has put together on list building with resale rights? I highly recommend them Colin.

  3. Hi Colin, Excellent article! The question of buying or creating products is really a question of strategy. I’ve decided to pursue both strategies with equal vigor. BTW, I found your link from the post you made on Socrates new videos page. For some reason your link hasn’t turned up on my widget that D. Nicholson provided through our masterclass. It’s probably because I trimmed the widget output to only 12 links. Anyway, am glad to be here and I look forward your posts.
