Here are the answers to your questions.

1) Selling or marketing ebooks and writing them are two different things.

There are many people out there who don’t write ebooks but successfully sell them. These are the people that are reselling ebooks or whom we call affiliate marketers (where they sell ebooks and collect certain percentage of commission from each sale).

This is good news for you because you don’t necessarily have to write your own ebooks in order to start marketing them online.

You can start by finding affiliate programs where you can pick any ebooks that you like to sell and start selling them. The famous place for people to look for ebooks is ClickBank.com. You can also try PayDotCom.com.

Other than that you can also acquire resale rights from other people to sell these ebooks and collect 100% from your sales.

2) I’m assuming that you are referring to how to get the resale rights for ebooks.

Well, there are a few ways.

a. Normally, the sellers will tell you that you can get a resale rights license on the website that they are selling the ebook. For example, look at these two products:

www.LowCost-HighProfit.com (read at the end of the sales letter)
www.AdsenseSEOQuickGuide.com (click the order link to see the details)

By purchasing the ebook with the resale rights, you are legal to sell it back to others and collect all the money from your sales.

b. Some membership sites are meant to create ebooks with resale rights for their members. You can join one of these membership sites and get these ebooks to resell.

c. Another way is to find giveaway membership sites and join them. Program owner of these giveaway membership site simply do that – give away their products or other people’s products that they can give away.

Bear in mind that there are two types of resale rights. Basic Resale Rights means that once you buy the license, only you can resell the ebook. Master Resale Rights means that you have the rights to give the resale rights to others who buy the ebook from you.

Normally, resale rights product is a bit more expensive compared to the normal ebooks that you can find. The obvious reason is that you are buying the product and also the resale rights. Indirectly, you will compete with the seller once you start selling it.

I hope this has helped you!

warmly,
