Default A Little Know Reprint Rights Secret

Sukh:

Searching for Reprint Rights and hoping to find non-biz products, while commendable, is backwards.

It's backwards because you are looking for a product to sell BEFORE identifying a market.

First, identify a market.

Second, do one of the following...

1: Find out what people in that market are buying, see if you can find an under-exploited product, and contact the product's owner to ask if you can get the reprint rights for it.

2: Put the name of the market in a search with the Reprint Rights term, and the other terms you picked.

Not everyone with good products knows about reprint rights... and often, people in non-marketing markets, don't want to buy reprint rights to products they buy. They like the product and that's all that matters to them.

So when you enter such markets, you will be one of a very small few entrepreneurs in that market.

Also, before acquiring reprint rights, ask about drop shipping. It could be a very good way for you to test the water before outlaying the money for rights.

Hope this helps.
