Virtual Property Tycoon Marries Ebay Oldie

Hi Friend,

All good this end, I’ve got friends getting married left right and centre, and, someone I know seems to be producing a baby every other day of the week. But the marriage I’m going to talk to you about today is the one between good old faithful ebay and my special favourite, virtual property.

What I actually mean is by bringing together these two internet phenomena you could generate yourself a whacking great income with very little effort required. This technique hasn’t been tapped too much so far so the timing is spot on.

Let me explain. I recently happened to type in “resell rights” into ebay.co.uk (not .com). There, I found there were over five thousand listings for this search term. Now obviously people are buying these listings or there wouldn’t be so many for sale. But to me, that’s too much competition. Also some of these guys are selling packages for as little as pound, etc. Obviously those sorts of figures don’t particularly excite me as I’m all about bigger profits.

Then I searched for “website for sale”. I was surprised to learn there were only 358 listings, many of which were for adult sites that a lot of people wouldn’t want to get involved in.

This got me thinking of an idea that could be a great part time earner. Here’s how and it involves using my Virtual Property system to create ten different ebooks in any niche market that happens to interest you (interest at this stage will help maintain your motivation). You could also create audios, video seminars, home study courses, etc – all very easy using my VPT system – but for now we’ll stick with the ebook example.

You would start by sourcing no or low cost books from the public domain using web sites such as http://www.gutenberg.org/ . Remember the public domain includes books or works which have no copyright. The copyright has expired or the product never had copyright in the first place – either way it means such works are readily available for anyone to grab.

You would then have the books scanned into digital format to create downloadable ebooks. Some of the longer books you got hold of could be chopped up to make two or more of your ten ebooks. You’ve now got a ten product web site line. (You’ll need to create sales letters for each product. Copywriting is a must in my eyes!).

You would then sell each of your 10 packages (consisting of an ebook and a ready made sales page).  You would go on ebay and advertise your products in the ‘web sites for sale’ section. But here’s the clever part, you DO NOT sell resell rights. Instead you offer a licence to each web site. You must explain that this is an exclusive product that only ten people will ever be able to buy. This one simple phrase, ‘licence’, rather than ‘resell rights’, will increase your sales dramatically I assure you.

So how much could you sell these sites for? Honestly, I don’t know. At the moment I've got too much going on to really get stuck in to this properly. But I’m 110% convinced this technique could generate a substantial revenue. I would guess this product could sell for at least $19.97 per site, if you do it correctly. It will take some tweaking but I have no doubt this could work well.

If you sold all ten licences to each of your ten web sites at $19.97 a pop (10 x 10 x $19.97) you'd make a tidy $1997 (not including back end sales, more on this shortly). Even if this took you a whole year to sell all 100, you've still made two grand for a few days work. Not bad hey!

Another way to differentiate yourself from everyone else is rather then selling the sales letter and ebook as a download, instead you could burn it on to a CDrom. Add an extra $5 to the sale and $3 postage and packaging and you’ll really be standing out from the crowd. You could even package several of your new web sites together (I would suggest no more than ten) and sell licenses to a master web site for $197.

You could take it a stage further and buy a domain name and web hosting for each site (although you'd have to transfer the details of the owner of the domain name over which isn't that hard but may get a little tricky) and add on another $15 to the sale price. The more value you give the customer the better. Why not chuck in some bonuses too.

That’s it for this week. Next week I am going to give you an amazing turnkey business as a thank you for your continued loyalty as a faithful subscriber who reads my weekly VPT Solution newsletters.

To your online success
