Preparations

Truth be told, rising prices have always had more of an uneven impact on retirees, especially those who have had their finances planned in advance. There are many retirees who find themselves in financially difficult situations when economies worsen and give rise to the cost of consumer goods. When economic problems become so wide spread that working folks begin feeling the effect, it is almost always a certainty that retirees feel the brunt of it. That having been said, if you are a recent retiree – or even if you have been retired for a while – you may want to think about supplementing your income just in case things get rough.

In today’s post-pandemic economy many individuals and families in a number of countries worldwide – including the United States – continue to experience financial difficultly. And recent developments have made the plight of working class individuals a bit dicey thereby causing an already challenging situation to be even more difficult. Soaring gas prices have not only had an impact on consumers, but on product manufacturers and retail stores as well; and the increase in gas prices has caused an increase in many other essentials, including food. Everyone is at risk of financial hardship and what this means for retirees is that they must make preparations to supplement their income.

An income niche

After a lifetime of hard work we all would like to think we deserve to enjoy our newly found freedom when we reach retirement. However, it is not always that simple since it’s also important to make sure that we can afford that freedom. There is no getting around the problems many retirees have when attempting to go back out to work, because they are well documented; but more often than not they are forced to rely on alternative means to supplement their income. The important thing to remember is this, if you are retired and believe you have a need to supplement your income – finding an income niche, so to speak – without working as hard as you did in the past, you have a number of different entrepreneurial opportunities available to you. One such opportunity involves selling e-books that you didn’t even create.

If you are wondering how you could legally sell something that does not belong to you, you are not alone. A significant number of retirees who have come across this business opportunity have confused it with being a scam, but the truth is that it is not a scam because you can legally sell an e-book which you did not create by obtaining the resell rights from its original author. What is even more interesting is that you may even be able to claim ownership of it and promote it listing yourself as the author. This process is often referred to as buying and selling private label resell rights (PLRR) or private label rights (PLR) products, which in this case happen to be e-books.

Getting started

When it comes to private label resell rights for e-books, there are many retirees who wonder what they have to do, but the answer is simple, because you can do as little or as much as you want. The first step in getting started is to find an individual who is selling the private label resell rights to his/her e-book. You can easily find a number of these offers by performing a standard internet search, but you are advised to fully examine each offer that you come across. This is important because you will want to obtain the resell rights of an e-book that will sell and make your initial PLRR venture a successful income-producing business.

Once you have examined all of your options, you will want to make contact with the individual who is offering the resell rights for sale. In most cases, this individual is the original author of the e-book. You will then need to reach an agreement which should detail how much you will need to pay to obtain the private label resell rights for their e-book. The amount of money you will pay will all depend on the person or company you are doing business with.

Your rights, your money!

While the amount of money you will have to pay for the resell rights to an e-book will depend on the seller, the amount of money you will make by selling it will all depend on you. To sell the e-book that you have properly acquired the rights to you will need to advertise the book and market it to prospective buyers. You may find luck developing your own website or by selling the book through an online auction website. What is nice about these methods is that you can do them in your spare time, which means that you do not have to work fulltime, unless you really want to.

By keeping the above points in mind you should be able to make money by selling e-books but, as previously mentioned, it is important that you acquire the private label resell rights to a well written e-book before attempting to rebrand and/or resell it. Even if you plan on making a few modifications to some of the content, it is important to remember that you paid for the right to do several things which includes making such changes and, therefore, these rights will serve you better than other options that may otherwise be available.
