Well - not insight about EVERYTHING, of course, but some VALUABLE insight about what many people are probably thinking about RESELLING, Resell products, etc.
Here's what happened...
Someone contacted me about some products I'm offering, saying that THEY ARE VERY OLD. I was chewed out for promoting OLD products that everyone already has. Apparently the 'market' is 'saturated' with the products already.
My defense:
#1. The person responded to a very old post from over 6mo ago
#2. So what?
The person checked out an offer from a post that was made several months ago and then freaked out about the products offered on that post being old.
Can I roll my eyes here for a minute? If not, then I will after this next part, because "#2. So What?" is a firm stance and firm reaction to the next part of what this same person emailed me about.
I am only saying 'So What?' because I am still in shock about the attitude of this person, and admittedly, I'm still a little shook up from the thrice back-and-forth interactions. I don't know what I would have done if this person had confronted me face-to-face (probably something worse than saying 'So What?').
Okay - I'm beating around the bush here. I will tell you 'the nature' of the interactions, but will keep the person's anonymity and EXACT STATMENTS to myself (because if I post some statements, readers will probably FIND THIS PERSON in the forums, even though the Internet has hundreds of thousands of forums and millions of internet users).
The nature of it all, in my perception is that this individual expects to literally DO ABSOLUTELY NO WORK at all. The person expects to find products and re-sell them exactly as they appear, circulate completely pre-written promo-materials, and become rich just from free and cheap materials.
This person has missed the fact that PLR and Resale products are specifically geared for EDITING - or - if explicitly stated, non-edit form before they are re-dispersed. This is why every Private Label or Resale product is supposed to be accompanied by a file telling you specifically what you can or cannot do with the product you purchased, were given, earned, etc.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened email and found such abusive statements about my 'integrity' as a reseller, etc.
Anyhow - I will go and calm down soon because I am less generally 'upset' as I type this and become more 'furious,' as I proceed.
Needless to say, I am going to 'EDIT' some reseller products - in the same way I always have, because I have understood that this is part of the Reselling business. I have to check every file (Info-products) that I purchase for re-sale, to make sure that information is reasonable, current, and valid. I have been quite sure all along that this is what being a reseller is all about. Making sure that GARBAGE information products don't go out under my name.
I have some older products that I am placing updated information in because YES they are OLD. The marketing information in them is basic and valid still, however, some of the multiple-products offered in the 'viral ebooks' that I'm working with have been discontinued, so I will substitute 'valid, new' products into these areas of the ebook.
This is how reselling, editing, and viral marketing works.
Not the way that my 'enraged' reader seemed to think when emailing me to take a bit out of my hide!
How many other people are convinced that they have absolutely NO WORK to do in order to be a Reseller?
I am truly just baffled.
