Maybe you noticed… this is March. And the last update to the blog about new products added was January. Okay, I’ll fess up:
didn’t blog about last month’s update. It’s not that it was nothing to blog about, I got a bit busy. Plus the members got notified right away. But that’s not all…
As long as I’m confessing, I might as well go all the way.
While Spare Change Profits Members already know this, I’ll tell you just in case you were considering joining. I haven’t been adding products as fast these days.
Instead, I’ve been taking a closer look at each package before I upload it. Then I write a short review. Some products don’t even make it to the main pages. (I started a junkpile for these.)
You see, unlike every other resale rights member site I’ve ever been a part of – and that is quite a few now – Spare Change Profits members aren’t bombarded with any pile of zipped up crud that comes along. Some of it looks all right from the outside but open the box and WHEW! Talk about stinkin’ up the place.
Not only that but I’m spending a considerable amount of time showing members what to DO with this resale rights stuff – like make money. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not all about diving into the “Get Rich Quick” pool. As a matter of fact it is not AT all about that. Sure there’s stuff about selling product and getting traffic – but there’s also a lot of nuts and bolts stuff too.
Just thought you’d like to know.

It seems like the whole world slowed down for this past holiday season. I was not the only one to fall behind between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It looks like it’s all coming back now.
One of my goals for this upcoming year is to update Spare Change Profits more frequently. Time will tell whether I’m successful.
No matter what, we’ve got some great new additions to the site including:
The 80/20 Rule – we’ve all heard that only 20% of most anything is effective – this ebook shows you how to make the most of this principle.
Branding Domination – an excellent video series shows you how to build your own brand to stand out from the crowed… and make more money doing so.
37 Ways to Prepare for College – more than a list book – this is a comprehensive plan taking students from freshman high school to college.
Building Strong Email Relationships – compact book explores one of the most overlooked aspect of email marketing – what do you do with your list after you build it.
These are just the highlights – there’s more where they came from. If you haven’t joined us yet – there is no time like the present to start making money with resale products like these.
Get started on your profitable year here.
Till next time,

Happy New Year!
Just uploaded a bunch today including a nice graphics package, along with 22 other PLR titles and 17 MRR packages – if my memory servers me correct.
Some great things are in the works for this year. Nearly all the glitches encountered from upgrading the script and moving to a new server are fixed. While it looks like a couple of gremlins may be lurking about, I think we’ve got a handle on it. So what’s next?
As anyone following this blog knows, I’ve been writing a lot on how to make money with resale rights and private label rights products. Well, you ain’t seen nuthin yet!
Over the holidays, I realized how little information there is about building a business based on resale rights products. Over the coming weeks, I’ll reveal a plan showing how anyone can do this.
But you don’t have to wait to get going – get started right away with my 7 Steps to PLR Profits below:

Its been a crazy month folks… finally got some new product uploaded on the site. From what I can see, I’m not alone. At least one of my vendors seems to be far behind on uploading product.
In any case, since I upgraded the member script, I’ve had a ton of problems. Things that were supposed to work don’t and the support team keeps dropping the ball. Don’t get me wrong – for the most part, the script I’m using works fairly well. I have a few issues with it but overall, it’s not a bad script. It’s just, well, remember the phrase “not ready for prime time”? Well…
Okay, enough bellyaching. The fact is, I”m not going to let Spare Change Profits members suffer due to problems with the script. It took me a bit, but I worked around the problems.
To all you members – thanks for your patience!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

You should know right off there is a lot more to this subject than meets the eye. For today, I’m just going to show you how to quickly add a product you’ve already got set up (sales page, download page, priced and so forth) to a wordpress blog. You can use these same techniques to add products to a static website too. You’ll see why I’m looking at WP in a moment.
In the simplest form – you are going to select a graphic for your product from your sales materials. Upload this graphic to your site or to a file server. (Note, I’m starting to use a file server for all of this type of stuff – that way I have all my images in one place with a list of urls.)
Without getting to complicated here, just use your ftp program and transfer the image someplace on your website or fileserver. Now type or paste that ulr into your browser. You should have just the image come up. Got it? Great. Copy that url into your clipboard.
Now open up your html editor. I use Trellian Web Page but it really doesn’t matter what you use. You can do this right in WordPress for that matter.
In your editor, open a blank page and insert your graphic. In Trellian I have to find it on my computer and use that one temporarily. Once inserted, right click on the image and choose “properties”. A box pops up with the image location. Now paste that url right there. Click apply and close out.
Now go back to your browser and navigate to the sales page for this product. Copy the url to your clipboard. In your editor, right click on the image again and choose “create link”. Paste that url in there.
Now click on source in your editor. You’ll see the code you need between the <body> and </body> tags. I usually include everything between the <P><P/> (paragraph) tags. Copy that code and head for your blog.
You can put this code anywhere (if you put it in a post or a page, make sure you are on the “source” tab”). But I like to put this in the sidebar so I click on widgets and drag a new text widget to where I want my image. Now just paste that code in the box, save and you are done.
You should be able to view the site and see your image. If you want add any copy to the box you can do that either by using the same method to format the text in your html editor or just typing into the box above or below the image code. Be sure to click on the image to make sure it works.
As I said you can add this code anyplace you like. By putting in in a widget, this image shows up on every page. If you tried this on a straight static website, you’d have to add the code to a template or to each page where you want it to show up.

As I remember the story, Ray Crock, who built McDonald’s into a multi-Billion dollar corporation, once asked a group of students what business they thought he was in.
Of course most answered something like “Duh! Hamburgers of course!” Probably a few piped up with french fries, but none offered the answer he was looking for. What business did Ray Crock think he was in?
Real Estate. You’ve heard many people say the three keys to a successful restaurant is “location, location, location”. Ray took that to heart. And if you look at where McDonald’s restaurants are located, you might be hard-pressed to challenge his assumption.
So what business am I in? Am I in the copywriting business? Am I in the resale rights business? Virtual Real Estate? Nope.
I’m in the relationship business. And if you tell my wife I’m cheating on her, I’ll hunt you down and tweak your nose. Just kidding.
Look, if I sell one thing to one person and then move on to the next “sucker”, I’d always be scrambling. Doesn’t make more sense to consistently offer great value to a growing customer base?
I want my subscribers to become my customers and my customers to grow to trust me as their “go-to guy”. Just as I want to be your “go-to” guy when it comes to resale rights marketing. As you learn I’m not just out to squeeze every dollar I can out of you and I really want to help you succeed, you’ll be more likely to join Spare Change Profits and take advantage of related services and offerings.
This is the mindset I recommend you adapt for your own efforts. No matter what niche interests you, there are loads of people out there who want what you have to offer. Many don’t know it or they don’t know how to find you. Eventually they’ll get what they want, either from you or someone else. The better your relationship is with them, the better the chance is you’ll eventually land them as a customer.
