February 19, 2008

 What is an eBook resale right? EBooks are electronic books available online, usually in PDF formats, as we discussed for reading on computers or dedicated eBook readers. Just like paper books these eBooks are also subject to copyright laws. Plagiarism or selling without permission is strictly punishable under copyright laws and anyone who gets caught faces stiff penalties. EBook resale rights should therefore be very prominently mentioned in your eBook for everyone to see, with cautionary warnings.

Many publishers of eBooks offer resale rights themselves so that their customers can include their eBooks in their web sites or blogs or reuse them in any form they like. The publisher will make a one time offer for these rights which include the right to modify it to adapt to business needs while still acknowledging the original authorship. Software to draft the special codes for resale rights are easily available online.

Preparing and selling eBooks are one of the most profitable online business opportunities today. Many cash in on the demand and produce eBooks on variety of specialized subjects. They often approach freelance writers for writing these, and are even prepared to pay high prices to get good quality work. Today, you can find eBooks on any topic under the sun.

Many hot selling eBooks today are business-oriented : on stock or forex trading, making real estate or investments in other asset classes, making money or getting rich quick ? May altruistic self-help topics and those which teach personal transformation and growth, weight loss, enhance self-image are available. Even fiction and short stories are getting more and more popular these days as many prefer to read it online than getting up, going to a real book store. It is so much easier to access and can be read at any time. With more and more people working online these days, many of us prefer to read eBooks online in between work when they have the time.

The amount of direct and referral marketing that can be done through resold eBooks is unlimited. Since it can be adapted virtually to any product or niche, they represent some of the most time and cost-effective means for internet marketing.
