Your Rights With PLR, MRR and RR Products

A while back I did an interview with attorney Mike Young discussing the much misunderstood subject of Private Label Rights, Master Resell Rights and Resell Rights.

What are your rights? Do you know?

You may be surprised to find that you may be illegally selling rights to products. And this could be disaterous for you!

Read the transcribed interview and get a better understanding of what you can and can’t do, and some of the most common misconceptions of this subject.

Internet Marketing Dangers: If It Sounds Too Good to Be True…

================================
How many old domains do YOU have sitting around doing nothing? Do you know how much they’re worth? Did you know you can make money with these domains? You want to know how, don’t you?

================================ 

Even if you are new to the Internet Marketing scene, you’ve probably already seen many ads, sales pages and emails promoting ways to become filthy rich in no time, with little or no work and no brains. Let me tell you, if that were true, nobody would be working anymore. We’d all be spending money online, buying from each other. For some of us, the spending part is too true (it was for me for quite some time)! The problem is that these same folks aren’t making any money at all (ALSO true for me for quite some time…).

Aside from the various on line scams, “phishing” scams to steal your identity and “spoof” emails from payment processors, there’s a group of opportunists that want your money for nothing - nothing actionable, that is. They’re the ones that are so good at telling you what you want to hear, and try to tell you what to do to make big bucks fast and easy (yeah, right!). The problem is, they don’t tell you HOW to do this. The system, method, technique or software that you’re encouraged to buy is missing a key element - implementation, or how to make it work.

In some cases, some ideas can actually worked well… for a while. Eventually they become outdated, diluted or even illegal. Then these sharks sell it to the unsuspecting “new kid on the block” marketers just coming on line, and who may be desparate to make money. By the time the poor kid figures out that this bright, shiny thing is useless, the desire to get a refund has withered away. That’s what these predators count on - lack of follow through on the part of the buyer.

Since most people are not cut out to be self-employed go-getters, a promise of easy riches with no effort or sacrifice gets these “underachievers” to pay for products and services that won’t work. The risk is minimal. A simple disclaimer about income promises, work involved and ability are glossed over by the greedy and protect the scammer from being shut down for overpromising.

The problem for the sincere, hardworking types who are looking for (and offering) genuine help and useful products and services is that many of the good ones can appear to be the same as the bad ones. In fact, most, if not all, of the tactics and strategies used by the crooks are used by the good guys. The difference is accountability. Building trust. Practically every good idea, product and service is backed up by customer service, “no hassle” money back guarantees and genuine positive feedback from buyers who are reachable. A good and solid reputation is worth its weight in gold.

“Investigate before you invest” is sound advice when you’re thinking about putting your money in an investment product. It’s the same when you’re deciding about on line “How To…” products, software and help building your business. The first rule of thumb for spending money on a given tool is, “When in doubt, don’t!” Another rule is, if you can’t afford it, or it keeps you from paying the bills, DON’T buy it! Until you’ve developed your intuition and some knowledge about good business practices, ask around. Go to discussion forums, interest groups and the like and post questions about what you’re investigating. Make sure you follow the rules of the group or forum.

Research and caution are the two things you’ll need to protect yourself from excess credit card debt and nothing to show for it. Also, keep in mind those clever manipulators scam even seasoned business owners. Being experienced in protecting themselves, they get their refund or “chargeback” their credit card account. Then they spread the word to their colleagues that “So and So” is a so-and-so. By keeping your own eyes open and finding the places where the serious-minded businesspeople meet and chat, you’ll be able to share in the same warnings that the pros give to each other.

To Your Success,

Is This Your Hobby, or Is This Your Business?

Many of today’s successful Internet Marketers started out by putting their hobby on the World Wide Web. It was fun, and there was no real desire to turn a profit. Along the way, something clicked, and these hobbyists became convinced that money could be made from their efforts.

In fact, this is exactly how I got started. I was absolutely convinced I could make money on line. Most, however, do not survive the transition. Their Web presence remains, but the income goals they set were abandoned. It’s tough to make a buck online without a plan.

Business planning itself is a whole other article, but before you can even begin to create a plan, you need to answer an important question: Why? Why would you want to take what you love and turn it into an enterprise, devoted to earning a profit? That’s the reality of business. Businesses are created to earn a profit.

But I absolutely believe that you need an internal “why” as well. One that drives your business. The reason why you keep going every day. Money is great, but what’s the point of making money if you make it for unknown - or worse - the wrong reason.

There is a steep “learning curve” when it comes to Internet Marketing. Take my word for it. There are areas of knowledge you must have that have no equivalent in offline businesses.

Becoming skilled in this method of doing business means committing yourself to constant learning and adjustment. “Information overload” will become a part of your life, every day. You will have to make smart decisions every day.

You will be learning how to make a profit online. Remember, what you will be learning will, most likely, have little or nothing to do with your passion. And the potential downfall is you could end up turning your passion into a drudgery.

There are also other considerations to making your passion your business. Hobbyists cannot deduct business losses from their income taxes in the USA and many other countries. Business owners can. Do not make the mistake of thinking that your hobby can help you at tax time, when the tax laws say otherwise.

If you’re looking for a tax break and are willing to invest the time and energy to turn your online hobby into a business, you could reap benefits that mere hobbyists cannot.

Turning your passion into a business will also benefit you in terms of tax deductions. You are entitled to so many more as a business. Consult a tax attorney for guidance. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of tax audits!

Having a grand passion can also be a plus when building a business online. There will be disappointments, challenges, obstacles and temporary failures along the way. Just as there are in other aspects of life.

If you’ve picked a business to do online that doesn’t really grab you, you might very well quit when the going gets tough. You need to have the motivation and long term view of a worthwhile dream or vision that will carry you over the bumps along the road to success and personal satisfaction.

For many people, a modified approach is best. You keep your main passion private, but use the Internet to build a related business that reaches like-minded people with money to spend. This is what “niche marketing” is based on.

You may love elk hunting in a certain spot in Maine, but your hunting site will offer information on “hot” hunting spots around the world (hunting for elk or other game), along with specialized equipment and information products aimed at this specialized market.

Another marketer may offer online clients specialized Web site designs for buying and selling their niche products, along with Web hosting and other services. This is also known as “selling the picks and shovels to the prospectors”.

Whichever path you choose, know why you are choosing it. If all you want to do is make money with your passion, get a job in a related business. It takes a special commitment and temperament to be an online entrepreneur.

Only you can decide if you have what it takes. If you have the patience, will power and persistence to follow such a path and not quit, you may be cut out for making your passion your business.

What’s the deal with Downline Secrets 2?

If you haven’t heard yet… James Grandstaff has released “Part 2″ of his “Downline Secrets.”

Before I get to my review, I thought I should play a little catch-up in case you have no clue as to what Downline Secrets “Part 1″ is about.

Basically with Downline Secrets part 1 you get free access to a recorded call between Mike Filsaime and James Grandstaff. Mike asks James questions about the success he had using InstantBuzz.com (a free advertising resource) to grow his downline.

You get access to the MP3 and PDF transcript of the call (which is nice because I don’t always like to sit in front of my PC to read or listen to content.)

During the call James reveals how he used his free Instant Buzz traffic along with his (now proven) 3 step strategy to explode his downline into the thousands on complete auto pilot.

The cool part is he did it while maintaining his full time job as a PC support technician in Michigan.

And from there you have the opportunity to buy the same software that James developed to grow his downline and use it to grow your downline in any program you happen to be involved in.

So all-in-all DownlineSecrets.com is a great site and offers a lot of great info for free on how to build your downline using the web.

What makes Downline Secrets “Part 2″ so much better is that it takes over where Downline Secrets 1 left off.

What I mean is this…

With Downline Secrets 1 you were left to figure out all the technical stuff in order to duplicate James’ results for your MLM business. The software and detailed videos are fantastic but you still have to come up with the web copy, the hosting, the HTML page design and so on… The yucky stuff.

Let’s just say his target market is much smaller because if you don’t have the much needed technical skills or the money to hire those with the skills, you are pretty much out of luck and can’t fully benefit from the entire system he is teaching.

This time around you get access to a call between James Grandstaff and Chris Zavadowski who is also very successful in the MLM scene. He grills James for over an hour and gets all the must know secrets out of him.

The system James is offering this time is over the top! He covers all the technical stuff for us this time and everything is completely set-up. All the technical issues have been removed. This is great because more people can now truly benefit from his teachings and proven system.

Now, I want to let you in on something…

Once you register for the call below you will see an offer for James’ Elite upgrade membership. All I can say is ==> TAKE IT!

It’s only $47 bucks and for what you get it’s simply mind blowing!

In a nut shell… he’s offering you a rofessional designed lead capture page that gives away a customized version of his new manuscript called ‘How to Get Rich Building a LAZY Downline!’

This PDF is first customized with your affiliate links to several “generic” MLM training resources. As you give this thing away you will earn commissions from those you refer who upgrade in any of the programs.

And since they’re all MLM related, the conversion rates should be extremely high!

All you do is simply advertise the lead capture page via the special link you get and James’ software sends an email to your prospects (with a link to your customized PDF)

Everything is on auto-pilot!

Oh, and don’t worry, the traffic aspect is even handled for you. Be sure to check out the bonus that’s included :-)

See, I told you this thing was awesome.

As you can see, I’m totally excited about this because it’s refreshing to see a great product come along that is truly capable of changing the lives of others.

So yes, Downline Secrets 2 gets my highest recommendation!

Sign up below and buy everything ;)

Take care of your business and yourself :-)

Sincerely,
