If you have been longing to start a business online you may be coming across terms you've never heard before. Resell rights, affiliate programs etc. You may also have found the opportunities available are overwhelming. Where do you begin?

BUYING RESELL RIGHTS PRODUCTS - EASY PLACE TO START
Buying and selling resell rights products may be the easiest and most lucrative online business to start running. Some people might argue that affiliate programs are the better choice for starting youronline business, but I would have to disagree. Why? Because with affiliate programs you're having to do the same amount of work but only receiving a percentage of the profits. I'll take more money for the same amount of work any day, how about you?

With any online business you must have a product to sell. First you have to create a product or service and then you have to be able to fill orders. With resell rights products there is no need to create a product because, as the name suggests, you're reselling someone elses product. Creating and selling your own product or service also means creating a website, learning how to write ad copy, setting up a marketing plan and obviously doing the work. If you're selling a physical product then you will need to make or buy the item, package it and pay for shipping costs. If you provide a service than you will likely have to start by doing free jobs to build your credibility and then when you are charging for your service you are still limited by how much work you can actually handle.

THE MAGIC OF RESELL RIGHTS
Resell rights products are a great way to get started in an online business. In fact there are even some marketers online who are making fabulous incomes from buying and reselling other peoples products.

In most cases you do not even need to build a website or design any graphics. Most good resell products come with a pre-written sales letter, website and graphics all ready for you to upload to your web host. Yes, you do need a place to sell the product from, so you'll need to get a domain name and a web host. Domain names can be purchased at Godaddy.com for $8.95. You can find a good web host for as little as $7.95 or less. Just go to Google.com and type in the search term "website host" and you will find plenty to choose from. Then your job is to drive traffic (customers) to your website.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT RESELL PRODUCT?
You should research the popularity of some of your interests. Try to determine if people are already buying any product associated with that interest online. There are many sources for finding that information including free ones such as the Overture keyword tool at Overture.com.

When you have found an area that is interesting to you and popular then type the subject along with 'resell rights' into your search engine and see which products in your area of interest come with resell rights. You have to be a little careful in choosing the right product.

When you have found a product that looks interesting make sure you read the terms for reselling. There are two kinds of resell rights. Regular resell rights which means that you can resell the product, but your customer cannot and 'Full' or 'Master' resell rights which usually allow you to resell not only the product but the resell rights as well. Ebooks and downloadable software are, in my opinion, the best products to resell because there is no physical product to make or ship.

I haven't written anything about the price of resell rights products because, like everything else, the range of prices is very wide. In some cases you can get a good ebook or software product with resell rights for as little as $40 or $50, but sometimes the price may be as high as $200 to $400. Just remember to find a product that's selling well but not too many people are selling. And don't forget, you get to keep 100% of the profit.

START MARKETING
The reason reselling other people's products is so great for beginners is that you can spend most of your time focused on marketing - not making - your product.

As you gain experience marketing you will make adjustments to your selling and start creating a wonderful income for you and your family!
