Ebook Resale Rights Explained
Giveaway Ebook Resale Rights
As the name suggests, ebooks that have Giveaway Rights may be freely handed out to whom ever you wish. At first glance it may seem that there is not much in this aspect of the resale rights model for you as an Internet entrepreneur. Think again though because products in this category can be well used as incentives for email list building or commissioned sales. Usually ebooks with Giveaway Rights do not allow editing or branding.
Basic Ebook Resale Rights
This type of resale right allows you to resell the ebook and keep the profit. The main restriction here is that you cannot pass the resale rights to your customer. In other words, only you have the right to sell the ebook. Your customer must be an end user who will use the product personally. Typically you are not allowed to edit or brand this type of ebook.
Master Ebook Resale Rights
These resale rights take the basic model one step further. With Master Resale Rights you can sell the ebook to an end user and keep the profit, but you can also sell the resale rights.
You now have two classes of customer: the end user and the business customer who will buy the ebook with the intention of reselling it to someone else.
These two classes are not always distinct however. Many Master Resale Rights ebooks cannot be sold without also selling the resale rights. It is more profitable for you if the product you are selling gives you a choice. This way you can sell the ebook to the end user at one price and to the business customer, who stands to profit directly from the transaction, at a higher price. Master Resale Rights ebooks do not normally allow editing or branding.
Private Label Resale Rights
This level of ebook resale rights gives you complete control over the product's content and the method of sale. You can edit and brand the product. You can sell the ebook to an end user or to a business customer. You can choose to sell the right to resell the ebook, or not.
About Ebook Branding Rights
The term branding refers to the process of replacing certain portions of the resale rights ebook with information that is unique to you. This usually means affiliate links.
These affiliate links have been embedded in the ebook by the author and will earn him or her a commission if the reader buys the product after clicking on the link.
If the ebook is "brandable" you are allowed to replace these links with your own affiliate links so that you earn the commission. Many ebook authors make this very easy to do by including rebranding software with the resale rights ebook.
Some authors allow you to rebrand only some of the links in the ebook while other links remain as set by the author.
Watch For Restrictions
Ebook Resale Rights often include specific restrictions on what you are allowed to do with the product. These restrictions are usually set out in a an included file called "license" or "rights" or another similar name.
These restrictions are mostly concerned with the price at which you are allowed to resell the ebook. Many authors do not want their ebook to be given away or sold very cheaply. In practice no one can tell you how much to sell a product for but it is best to respect the wishes of the author. Many authors that do not allow an ebook to be given away do allow the product to bundled with other products or used as a bonus.
Now that you understand the different types of rights available, you can find products with the right level of ebook resale rights for your needs.
