It’s no secret to the subscribers that have been with me for a while now that I don’t just recommend everything and anything that comes down the pike. This FREE package from Liz and John is head & shoulders above the usual offerings!

I find that it’s crucial to give you objective reviews so that you can make an informed decision about the products and services you’ll use to help grow your business.

Now I DO make money by marketing products online as an affiliate, but I only endorse them if they meet or exceed their stated values.

So how does this relate to you?

Well, it means that I take an in-depth look at relevant products on the market and I share my findings with you so then you can make an informed decision.

Today’s review is on a program called ‘Resell Rights For Newbies’ from Liz Tomey and John Hostler.

Now I don’t often get excited about resell products but this is something a little bit different… (plus, I really love both these guys!)

‘Resell Rights For Newbies’ is actually a complete system designed to teach new marketers how to start and build their own Internet business from scratch, using resell rights products.

The reason the system is built around resell rights products is because of their low barrier to entry.

Low barrier to entry simply means that you could quickly and easily secure resell rights products and turn them for profits.

You avoid the pitfalls of product creation, yet enjoy the rewards as if they were your own… most importantly keeping all the profits for yourself.

Now with that said, this does not mean if you run out and purchase a 20 pack of resell rights products that you will make thousands the very next day.

And that’s why most programs fall short…they sell the sizzle and not the steak. They tell you that by purchasing resell rights products you are sure to make money.

You see, it’s still a business and must be treated as such.

In order to be successful with Resell Rights products you need to:

• know where to find quality products that aren’t being marketed by everyone under the sun
• know how to set up a web site to market those products
• have the marketing tricks up your sleeve to be able to move the products
• know how to drive traffic to your web site

Thus the beauty of ‘Resell Rights For Newbies’.

This is a complete system for profits with resell rights products.

It is a step by step program that covers the 4 crucial components above by way of video tutorials, ebooks, and a web based tool kit.

The 12 video tutorials, are straight to the point learning tools that will teach you everything you need to know about getting, creating, and starting your own web site and finding quality resell rights products to sell.

The 3 info packed PDF’s are filled with valuable information about marketing methods and strategies for selling your new resell rights products.

And the ’24 Hour Plan’ PDF was designed to have you making sales and your first profits within 24 hours…

Liz and John really went to town with ‘Resell Rights For Newbies’ and have laid out a system that anyone can follow, regardless of experience level.

It’s no fluff and because it’s been done in multimedia, accommodates people with all different types of learning styles.

Oh, and if you’re feeling weary because you’ve heard it all before…well, Liz and John have done the unthinkable and made this available for FREE for a limited time.

The bottom line on ‘Resell Rights For Newbies’ is that it’s a weapon you should put in your marketing arsenal…and quickly.

Wishing You Success,
Lisa Preston

I wanted to thank Steven Wong from AllNicheVideo.com for giving me the “heads up” on the Fair Play policy adopted by Brad Smith at the Easter JV Giveaway. I had gotten so busy, I didn’t realize I was violating the rules by submitting so many gifts!!

I have corrected the number of gifts now to show only four… but YOU know I am still giving you the whole bunch of them, right? If you download ANY of the gifts that are listed under Lisa Preston (just do a search on my name), you will find the gift you wanted – PLUS TEN MORE!

I just love to overdeliver!!

If you haven’t yet been to the site to see what’s there, go soon! Gifts change, more are added… and there is truly something for everyone! Check back here in a couple of days… I have some new stuff coming your way – you’ll love it!

.

I am planning to contribute a bunch more, though!

What am I talking about? The Easter JV Giveaway, what else? Frankly, I have been waiting patiently all year for this, and I’ve been preparing my gifts since Christmas! I was really fortunate to gain about 2,000 subscribers last year, and this year I hope to meet a lot more new friends!

There are two ways to participate… either contribute a gift (like me!) or simply join up as a member and download from the huge selection of gifts! I plan on doing both!

Last fall, I was approached to join a partnership making up a group of four. We all paid money to fund the hosting, products, outsourced programming, etc. and we all had full access to the products and customer base. Each of us brought a skill set to the mix as well.

I was the fourth, and was brought in just a few weeks before launch. When I paid and gained access to everything, the first thing I noticed was the site construction and functionality – it was a train wreck. They had attempted to mash about 10 types of scripts together, forcing customers to subscribe several times throughout the site… what a mess! And the graphics…(shudder).

So, being helpful, I offered to fix these issues… I offered to use my Butterfly Marketing script as the framework, and then totally re-vamped the graphics. They were AWESOME, by the way.

And these weren’t even the skills I was brought in for!! (I was officially supposed to be the person looking after the customers AFTER the launch)

Everyone LOVED all the changes because now everything worked right (go figure – Yay Butterfly Marketing!!) but there were still aspects to complete. I even had to entirely re-write the ebook that was kicking off the site, as the grammar and spelling were atrocious.

So I did. Changed those graphics, too.

And the graphics on the JV blog. Pretty much everything.

THEN I tried to log into the admin area, and found I didn’t have the proper permissions.

HUH?

I posted to our “Super JV” private blog to ask the password, and never got a reply. Several times.

Next thing I hear is launch is TWO DAYS AWAY! And I knew there were so many things that still needed fixing, important things that would kill the site if we went live without them, so I said so in our private blog. I said we should wait until it was all functioning, and another of the partners agreed. The self-appointed “Project Manager” was silent.

Despite many attempts to contact her from both myself and the other partner – no response. The other partner felt strongly enough to simply pull out, but me? My name was ALL OVER that site… on every graphic, PLUS the fact that the BM script was licensed under my name.

As time grew nearer to her launch without partner approval, I started to panic. Then I realized – I can stop it!! At least until I get her to answer me!! All I needed was my access restored so I could FIX the problems that would hurt my reputation by being associated with this… I had put so much work into it that I really wanted to make sure it would be successful.

So I went into the BM folder and took out a critical folder… just “removed” it until she responded. Then I went to our private blog and posted that I had disabled the site temporarily until I got a response, that she should take into consideration those of us who have worked so hard.

As a response, she changed ALL the access to the site so I was completely blocked, then enlisted ANOTHER Butterfly Marketing script owner to provide the missing folder (GOD, how I would love to know who that person is!!) and went ahead with the launch!!

Now, the launch was premature and as a result it was “lukewarm” at best… but still blocked, I told her to return my “fees” since she removed my access, to remove all of my graphics (unless she planned to pay for them) and to remove the Butterfly Marketing script while she was at it because it was under my license.

She replied that she didn’t have to take down the script because she was now licensed under a new Butterfly Marketing owner (hijacker) and she would not return my money or access because she didn’t want me to sabotage the site.

HUH?

I can’t remove the license in my Butterfly Marketing panel in case I am penalized by the terms since I don’t know if it’s a lie that it has been re-licensed. She refused to divulge the name of the new Butterfly Marketing script owner (hijacker).

Also, she has continued using all the graphics (yes, with my name splashed all over them!!) and as a result, I have been sent scathing remarks about “my site” and it’s membership… it has hurt my business to be associated with this project. She has also refused to return my fees, or pay for the graphics.

The site launched, went through it’s first 5 week run, and closed. NOW it is getting ready again to open for “Version 2″ and it has all my graphics still in place!!

As I am the one who created these graphics, and it’s obvious by the attempts to modify them (WITHOUT having the source PSD files) have only served to show this person is trying to steal the work.

I am sending the owner and their host a DMCA TAKE DOWN NOTICE (basically telling them to remove the site until the offending materials are removed). I am posting here and on my other sites about this issue so that others will be aware. I am sending a complaint to their payment processors as well, as they are selling the book with my unauthorized graphics.

I posted the issue on the Butterfly Marketing private forum in an attempt to find the hijacker, and I also posted the problem on the Warrior Forum (the absolute BEST Internet Marketing Forum in the world!!!) and asked for suggestions about dealing with this issue. You can view the thread here:

THESE PEOPLE ROCK!!

As of this moment, I am waiting for results from the registrars, hosts and the site owners, and I will keep you updated on my progress.

The site in question is masterresellrightsblowout.com – I didn’t give you a hyperlink, simply because I don’t want to subject you to these unethical people AND I don’t want to give them a single “hit” to exploit in promotional materials (citing Alexa ratings for instance).
