Can You Really Make A Fortune Off Of Reprint Rights?
Copyright 2004 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 check it out
at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/thebook/ 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:

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:

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:

... 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 for more tips on
both buying and selling reprint rights at:

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 at: http://TheRealSecrets.com/becky.html

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.
