Ack! I have been transformed! I used a word that a year ago I did not know! REBRAND. And up until tonight I did not know HOW to DO it!
And I did NOT define or explain it. I apologize. Training is what this site is about.
I did not plan a vocabulary page but I might reconsider. Tell me what you think.
The process of Rebranding a product or eBook must be permitted by the authors in their permissions and rights to use the publication. In addition, it must be supported by the appropriate software that allows you to SUBSTITUTE YOUR LINKS for the Active Author’s links within the publication.
That means, even though you are distributing or selling the original text without any changes, the active links in the publication will be YOUR product links. So any sales from the book will be credited to YOUR account. That is the process of REBRANDING.
That, naturally increases the value of the publication from a marketing point of view.
I cannot tell you how many eBooks I have downloaded that I have REBRANDING rights to nor how many DIFFERENT software scripts to convert the original links to my own.
Yet, I NEVER understood what it MEANT to DO this. AND I had not figured out how to DO it UNTIL tonight.
People say, if you have a question, or a problem, just ask. Well, that only works when you know what to ASK! I could get into a conversation about REBRANDING and say I was having trouble with xyz. (Which assumes I know what xyz is). The most typical response has been ” oh yeah, I had some trouble with that too.” Unwritten comment between the lines– but I couldn’t tell you how I solved it– it was too long ago–or I don’t know how I did it but it finally worked. So I stopped asking. And just operated on the principle that if I encounter it often enough sort of by osmosis it would become more familiar and one day I would UNDERSTAND its VALUE enough to FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACTUALLY REBRAND something!
I am not sure I could explain HOW I did it. But… I certainly did not intend to do what everyone else has done to me along the path. Holding you at the safe distance of a 10 ft pole… saying something like… oh … you need to download the book… Rebrand it with your links and upload it to the xyz file and you are set. Dull confused glazed over eyes look. So, stick with it and one of these days I will write a simple article or post about it.
WHEN I REMEMBER HOW I DID IT!!
