Getting Your Resale Rights Products Online
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This is response to a comment on the Tell Me What You Want post.
The main request was how to get the products that you already have on your hard drive on to the internet.
This takes a number of things such as:
- Unzipping the product
- Editing the sales page
- Accepting payments
- Providing the download links
- FTP the information to the site
And quite frankly to type out all this information is a fairly big job.
Instead what I did was create a video of me taking a master resale rights product and getting it online.
In the video I only used free tools for all the editing and other purposes, so that any one that watches the video can do exactly what I did.
You can watch as I take the product from the downloaded package to the final version on my site in almost real time (I did pause the recording while it uploaded and while I was sneezing) it took under 25 minutes to:
- Unzip the product
- Edit the sales page
- Edit the thank you page
- Create an encrypted payment button through PayPal
- FTP the information to the site
Yes, I am probably a little faster than someone that hasn’t done this before but still it is under a half an hour to get a product from download to finished sales page on my site. If it take you twice as long then you will only spend an hour at it.
Think about it how many products do you have on your hard drive that you could be selling right now?
I recorded this video at 800 x 600 pixels then I realized that it would be too big to fit into this area that I have on this blog so I changed it to 480 x 360 but I didn’t like the way that looked, it was too hard to read. So as a final compromise I published it at 640 x 480 and put it on a different page at here at the site.

Please remember that this video is unscripted and not a product quality video. It is just me taking a product, editing it, putting a payment button on it and uploading it to my site, while I talk to myself. It isn’t edited, except for a zoom in and it was paused during the FTP upload because my internet connection is not that fast. You will even hear me say a file is 20 Gig when it is only 20 Meg in size and you will hear me having trouble saying PDF Profitlock. But it does provide all the information you need to get a resale rights product or a master resale rights product on your site and for sale all in under 30 minutes.
This isn’t the best way to sell a product. There a numerous other things you should take into account when you put a product up for sale on the internet but this is a starting step that will hopefully get you to take some action and get your products out there.
Some of the extra things that you should do that aren’t done on the video are:
Repackage the download so that it tells them it came from your site. You can see my post, Using Your Products To Create Website Traffic that will give you a little more information on repackaging the product.
You should have some method of getting the customer on your list. You can do this by offering a newsletter that covers a related topic to the product.
You should be offering an upsell or affiliate products or your own products on the download page. These products should be related to the one that was purchased from you.
You should also think about actually getting a script to handle the payment processing and the download areas.
There are other things you need to get your product online like a website and if you need help with things like a domain name, hosting, etc. then I suggest you try my Marketing Beginners site. It is free to sign up and there are a ton of videos that will get you started.
