Free PLR Membership & Dangers of Buying Online

Hi and Welcome :-)

In addition to providing you with Free access to a Private Label Rights Club today :-)

..... I wanted to provide a summary of part of this site's purpose for people venturing into, or experiencing the online world of business, whether or not you have your own original product[s] to sell, or you are in the 'Resell Rights/Affiliate' Online Business world - plus some information about the dangers of buying products online for your business and what to avoid, especially if you are relatively new to this area

(This rather lengthy 'mismash'[!} posting is just as a reminder for return visitors, and to let new visitors know, given that the original 'welcome' is archived away).

I truly hope that you will find value here - you will understand if you read further
:-D

As you may know if you have been here before (or just in case this is your first visit), I have a great Free "Goodies Basket Policy' to provide a 'Portal' of resources and information for you, just to thank you for being here and to help build this community as it grows :-) (I have the same policy on my other sites too, including my Self Help Blog).

This policy, in addition to posting Articles, is to help you (and me!) in our online ventures. I absolutely love the challenge of hunting down Free Ebooks, Software, videos, and Free access to Membership sites with, for instance, audios and videos relating to Web2.0 Marketing and other topics, ..... membership products to help you get launched and ready to go, .....and Resell Rights and Private Label Rights Memberships.

(I know some IMs hate this 'web2.0 term', but no matter what it is called - its such a fantastic resource for you and a great place to meet people, learn how to create videos, market your own products and much much more - there is so much to learn! So many sites out there now and millions upon millions of visitors).

As you may also know, I also recommend paid products and memberships which I think are truly worthwhile (and am aiming to setup a separate site for you so that you can feel safe in revewing what you are buying or becoming involved in first - no unexpected surprises!).

To avoid losing resources, we need to know exactly whatwe are getting before we buy anything online and whether or not we can trust the product or person selling the product. Some sites out there already do this form of review, but not enough, nor to the degree I will be aiming for. Nonetheless,I will find the bookmarks for these review sites for additional support (althouh note that some sites may be a little biased in their reviews of friend's or 'JV partner products', and care still needs to be taken, but not all are like this).

This product review/recommendation process is also important because product detail is key in this respect. If there is not enough detail, just be cautious. I have found that some sales pages sometimes don't provide enough detail about what you are getting, or even the price (the emphasis is sometimes more on a product's 'benefits', and while these 'benefits' are extremely important in writing good sales copy, I think that a balance between both product 'features' and 'benefits' is essential).

It is thus sometimes 'pot-luck' in terms of the value you may (or may not) receive, after parting with your precious resources as I have discovered on occasion. Also, if you have the time to search online, like I do at the moment, you can often find that product, or similiar, for free, especially in JV Giveaways, which I will inform you about too (there are quite a few going on now, which I must be quick about, or they may have ended - but they are quite common now).

Thankfully though, more sites are now starting to demonstrate their products using video and other forms of demonstrations (if it is truly a quality product). There are also so many great membership sites around that I cannot hope to cover them all (and others, which are not so great, and which are to be avoided, being just 'rehashes' of sometimes poor and outdated content which is shared by 1,000s of competitors). Remember, your reputation is your 'life' online - and you don't want to provide poor quality.

So, if this helps in any way (especially if you are relatively new online), some of the best examples I have recommended so far, include, for instance: 1Click (an all in one business solution), the Software Gold Club (I will find the link for you, or you can do a search - absolutely fantastic value for your own instant Private Label Software site!), plus ..... Resell It for Profit at www.resellitforprofit.com (by Mike B.), and SureFireWealth at: www.SureFireWealth.com (by Jeremy G.) among others (both of these latter ones have free levels and provide exceptional quality)....

Also, the 1click membership, run by Todd Moss, not only provides quality resell and private label products, but absolutely everything you need to run your own business which will save you hundreds of dollars a year (ie. no need for separate webhosting, unlimited autoresponders, ad-tracking accounts, website builders, website management centers, training, and more - its all included and the price is absolutely incredible!).

I made a recommendation for 1Click in an earlier posting and there is a link to the site in the right menu below if interested (Note that the 1Click Site may popup once you exit from here - please do let me know if this annoys you upon return visits, and I will remove it and just keep the link in the right menu bar).

There are others I will certainly recommend over time, at the free level and add as links in the right menu bar (but I will not review paid memberships which I am not involved in of course, and my choices are very selective, or lucky if you happen to chance upon a special invitation to join as a 'paid' member) :-)

(there is already a fantastic private label rights membership link there now, plus a site I just discovered, which has an online tool which enables you to actually download videos from many web2.0 places such as 'You Tube'. Viewing at these sites is usually restricted to online streaming video, which can be a problem for people with only dial-up internet, but please note that it only downloads flash files I think).

Of course, many of the free membership sites, downloads, or free ecourses/ezines, also have OTOs and upsells to become a paid member (if you see the value there), and some do go through my own affiliate link, but not all, as my aim is to provide value, whether or not it may benefit me or not. I just get joy knowing that I may be able to help in some small way, although eventually I will be selling other products on my other sites when all are ready to go.

So, this helps me feel balanced in this respect - to give and to receive.

In my own learning process, I am also creating audio ebooks for you for free, just for readers, as the 'listening' experience is so much more pleasant than straining your eyes all the time (if you don't mind my voice of course, which will gradually get more professional over time!!) - I have started doing this at my Self Help Blog - and will be posting a great one up there in the next week or so (eg "Self Improvement: The Power" which is also highly relevant to the all-important mindset needed for persisting in your online business - absolutely one of the most important factors) ... :-)

'How May I Serve' is a saying I once read relating to Internet Marketing, which has stuck with me - always consider the other person first. Remember, they are looking for information, something specific. Not something you want to 'sell'. People often avoid the 'sales pitch' - 'uh oh, here it comes'.... Always provide value - your reputation depends on it. Your customers will remember you for it and begin to trust you, which again is especially important in today's online world where there can be some rather unscrupulous creatures, sometimes difficult to spot.

So always be careful (and try to avoid those sales pages where there are no contact details, unless you know the person - for example - who do you contact if something goes wrong in the payment process, or if you lose the product, or if the person is not 'real'??).

Anyway, the feeling of giving like I can do on this Blog, to balance out the 'selling' part, is great, as you will discover for yourself (or already have done so) :-) (you might understand a little more if you visit my Self Help Blog too - just click on my full profile, and it should show all of my Blogs (some of which need updating).

So - the choice is always yours despite what I may recommend. But please remember too, especially if you are only just starting out in the 'online business world', only to spend resources on what you think is 'essential' to your business, .... buy what you can afford, not what you 'want'. And think of it as an 'investment', not a 'loss' in this respect. While setting up an online business is certainly cheaper than traditional 'bricks and mortar' businesses, it does require some investment, despite what some may say. And this can sometimes be more than you expect over time.

If you are relatively new online, also remember that some sales copy is so good that it leaves you with the feeling that you absolutely must have the product or you will fail! (I have fallen into this trap myself) - and only spend or 'invest' more when you are earning money, which you will if you keep on going, ....... never give up in your persistence, and then you will have more freedom in this area.

Always - earn before you 'burn'! And, always reinvest some of your earnings back into your business too.

Anyway, all of the free Goodies I have collected for you are bookmarked and are ready and waiting to be included in the 'Goodies Basket" - I don't want to overwhelm you with them all at once and will one day compile them all into a 'resources directory', just for my readers for free (and in the hope that you will come back too - my little 'bribe'!) :-)

No, I'm only kidding! I truly want to build a strong community here where we can share experiences and make friends, possible joint ventures and even trade products where we can. Its not so easy on the internet these days and the 'big guys' are really starting to take over. Time is running out compared to a few years ago, with so many more people venturing online each day.

So one of the most important things to our success, besides the 'list' and products of course, are the people we meet online and how we can support each other in our ventures. I have made some very special friends, which has provided much-valued mutual benefit (both friendship and business-related). And I feel so very blessed to have met these people, whom are truly special - you know who you are :-)

Anyway, enough of my 'ramblings' again and back to the point! As said, today I have Free access for you to the 'Private Label Club' in the GOODIES BASKET below. While the quantity of Private Label Rights (PLR) goods here is not as large as the one posted in the right menu below, you will have access to another PLR source - the more the better, as long as its quality (I have a few other free PLR sites coming)
:-)

I hope that the above was helpful in some way (and is especially aimed at those of you whom are relatively new online)? If you are, read through some of the earlier postings to get more of an idea about the Resell Rights Business and find some free resources to help you get going (apologies to more advanced sellers, but I will be providing more advanced information too - even if you just pick up one point here or there, this will help in some way). We all learn from each other. We never stop learning in fact :-)

So I would love to see you return and make a posting, to meet you and hear about what you are doing if you feel so inclined :-)

Until Next Time
Meg
