- Stephen Boutelle

==="Written Wruminations"===

A big "Hello!" to the regular subscribers of ProsperityUnleashed! and a Super Special Welcome to all of you new subscribers as well!

As I said in the previous newsletter, my goal is to publish a new edition of ProsperityUnleashed! once a month. It's the end of February and here's the latest issue - on time!

I have been very busy working with some new Joint Venture partners over the last couple of weeks-- two of them have each released a brand new product. I helped contribute to one of them, and have included Liz's excellent article on Joint Venturing in this issue.

In this issue you'll also find an informative and very thought-provoking article about how to make the make the most of Resale Rights products. Because these articles are so good, I'm featuring them without including one of my own this time around. And as you may have also noticed, I've also been working on a new design for the newsletter as well . . . do you like it?

Don't forget, there's also the recently created subscribers only membership site (just for you!) and if you'd like to see the back issues, I've created an Archives page here.

As always, feel free to tell me about your own questions, ideas or suggestions about ProsperityUnleashed! Just Click Here! and I'll be happy to respond.

And in case you're wondering "Who is this guy?" you can find out more about me Here!

Okay, I'll quit talking now so you can read!

5 Guaranteed Ways To Snowball Your Resale Rights Profits

Resale Right Products are a huge market. Unfortunately, may people are losing more money than they’re making. Ebooks are quickly devalued as everyone tries to offer them at a lower price than their competitors. Finally, the ebook is given out for free and it becomes nearly impossible to sell.

Here are some tips that a select few are using to consistently make sales with the same products others can hardly give away.

1.) Bonuses – When in doubt, pack on the bonuses. If you join a site that supplies you with new resell rights every month, you’ll have a horde of titles to choose from. I personally try to look for ones that have a minimum price stipulation and allow you to “bundle” it with other products as long as the package is above the minimum price of the ebook.

Here’s another cool idea for a bonus. Find a related affiliate program with a high commission. Ask the owner if you can forfeit your commission and offer it as a “special price” for your customers. Now you have an awesome bonus that your competitors can’t offer!

2.) Don’t Lower Your Price – Whatever you do, never lower your price. It seems tempting but someone is always going to offer the same product at a cheaper price than yours.

Instead, load it with the bonuses that I just mentioned. Let them know the benefits of the bonus. If it can be sold, even create a sales page with an active purchase link. When your potential customer
sees the sales pages, your product will seem much more valuable. People search for bargains, but the bargains don’t have to be cheap!

3.) Create A Mini Course – Don’t forget to stay in touch with your visitors. One of the best ways to do this is by offering a free course. The course should provide enough good information that your visitor will want to sign up and look forward to reading it. Provide good but incomplete information. Let the reader know that he can get the rest of the information by purchasing your product.

I know popover ads can be annoying, but they really work for this kind of website. Your visitors most likely won’t return, so you have to get them to opt in and then finish the sale.

4.) Backends – Just because you finished the sale, that doesn’t mean you can’t make any more offers. I would “occasionally” send emails with good free information related to the product and then once in a while look for another related product or affiliate program to sell.

5.) Up Sells – Up sells are a great way to make some extra cash. What you do is find some more “must have” bonuses and on your order page allow your customer to purchase the main product or the main product and the extra bonuses for a little more money.

There are a few marketers secretly using these techniques and they’re making a lot of money selling the products that most people can’t. Now you have the knowledge to start selling like a pro. Use these techniques and you are guaranteed to double your resale right profits.

John Karnish of http://www.rareresellrights.com highly recommends PushButton Publishing. They’ll supply you with all of your resell rights, bonuses, free gifts, web hosting, autoresponders and more for the price of the average web host. Take a look Here!

11 Joint Venture Ideas To Get You Started On The Fast Track To Quick Profits

By: Liz Tomey

1. Find someone in your target market that either publishes an ezine or has a website. Ask them if they would like to join your affiliate program and promote your offers in their ezine, or on their site. In return, you'll give them the product at no charge, and if you have an ezine or website, offer to promote something for them. Remember to make it an irresistible offer for them!

2. Use your own visitors and subscribers. Give them something free that has some sort of small advertisement of yours on or in it. It doesn't have to be a flashing sign. Just a subtle ad with your URL or subscribe email placed somewhere visible. By using this method you could have your little ad all over your entire market! It takes a snowflake to start a snowball! Your visitors and subscribers will be happy to get something for free, and they'll be even happier that it doesn't have ads ALL over it. DON'T get greedy. Give a little and get a lot! Find someone else in your market that does the same thing. Offer to give their “give aways” out if in return they give your “give aways” out.

3. If you can't beat 'em… Join 'em! Round up several others in your market who you think there would be a mutual benefit to partner with. Have a "Joint Venture team". Your team could pool your resources and beat the "big guys" in your market. Those in your "Joint Venture team" could cross promote each other’s products, services, and/or programs also!

4. Find 5, 10 or however many ezine publishers who are in your target market. Offer them all discounts to their subscribers on your offer. Give them your product for free also. Let them know that you are partnering with other ezine publishers for your discounted offer, and that you will give the ezine publisher who produces the most result a bonus. Just make sure your bonus is GOOD! Make it something unique and semi-personal. I've always thought when rewarding someone I do business with that I shouldn't give them a "business gift". Try giving a semi-personal personal gift. You may not really know that person, but there are sites online that will tell you the gifts women like and the gifts men like. Use those sites to find semi-personal gifts. (*Please note that this does say semi-personal. Business is business, so make sure your gift/bonus is appropriate.)

5. I saw a site the other day at: ThankYouAds.com This is a WONDERFUL idea. The basics of the concept are placing other people's ads on your Thank You page. What a great time to send your customer off to your most trusted JV partner while the customer still has their credit card out! You'll want to be careful when doing this though. Make sure you've already sold that customer all that you can before passing them to your Joint Venture partner.

6. Contests are a WONDERFUL way to market, and you can conduct them for any type of market. Contact an ezine publisher or website owner in your market. Offer tohold a contest giving away an item or items you are offering. In return for this, ask that they run your ad, or place your ad on their website. If it's a really good contest, ask that they run your solo ad, or put your ad in a very prominent spot on their site.

Another way to use contests is by doing a “contest swap”. Let them know you’ll promote their contest if they promote yours. If they don’t have one offer to come up with one for them. Explain the benefits behind having a contest. Offer to have one for them. Let them know you’ll donate the prize (it doesn’t have to be anything really expensive) if they would like, and show them how to set it up. This is relationship building at its best. The next time you approach that person with a JV they will trust you because you were willing to go out of your way to help them.

7. We all know that article writing is one of the best ways to market. You show people that you know something about the topic you are writing on, you are automatically giving them something (your article), and it's a viral way of marketing. Your article could go all OVER the place. Online and offline. If you know an ezine publisher or website owner who publishes articles on your market topic, ask if they would like to swap articles. You promote their article, and they will in turn promote your article. The best thing about this idea is you can do it with many people, and you can do it over and over by writing new articles.

8. Another writing idea would be for you to write a column on your market and offer it to an ezine publisher or website owner. I would suggest that you write unique content for each ezine publisher or website owner if you are wanting them to advertise you or for you. I know ezine publishers and website owners would go for this idea because as an ezine owner and website owner, I am currently seeking several people to write original content for my many sites and ezines in exchange for free advertising.

9. Swap business cards with others in your market. Your hand out your joint venture partners business cards and they hand out yours. This is just like word of mouth advertising, which is the best kind around. Business cards are a wonderful way to put your advertisement in someone's hands. Putting it in their hands in one of the keys to selling.

10. If publishing and ebook, you could offer part of your ebook for free. Offer one chapter to potential customers, so that they can “test” your ebook. Find other ebook publishers in your market and ask if they could do the same with their ebooks. If they agree you could advertiser their free chapter, and ask that they advertise your free chapter in return. This can also be done with membership sites. Offer a 3-day free trial. Find others in your market that offer memberships to their sites. You advertise their free trial, and ask that they advertise yours. What about software? Many people offer free trials for software. If you offer a free trial to your software, go to www.download.com. Search for software related to your market. When you find software that isn’t in competition with yours, but that would compliment the other person’s software, contact them and ask to do a JV where you promote their software and they promote yours! I’m sure you can think of a way to do this with your product or service.

11. Survey swap? You bet! Surveys are hot right now. Sometimes you have to offer your visitor or subscriber a little bit of an incentive to do it, but the information you will get is well worth it. Find others in your market that asks their visitors or subscribers to take surveys. Let them know that you also ask your visitors or subscribers to do take surveys. Ask if they would put a link to your survey on their site, and in return you could do the same thing. If you are asking for personal information on your survey be sure not to share that with the other website owner. If you do, make sure that it is noted in your privacy policy or you could lose visitors or subscribers!
