Ebooks with Resell rights

    So I have written a lot of ebooks. Most of them I just have on my hard drive just sitting there. I'm thinking of selling them with resell rights. However I have like no idea how. What do I need to write inside the book so that people know. And how do I plan the prices. What if the book is normally free and I'm offering resell rights? Is it ok to charge like $5 to $8 for a normally free book?
    Any advice would be great!

    The price is totally depend on you.
    Normally price will depend on your ebook niche.
    What do you mean by normally free book?
    If you mean the free book is the one that you get it from other site,then you cannot resell it unless you have granted resell right.

    wait a sec, you have written a lot of ebooks??
    this can be a freakin goldmine, you know that, do you?
    put an ad in the buy/sell/trade-section and offer resell rights for I would say at least $17 (depends on the size and topic of the book).
    don't forget to put some affiliate links inside ;)
    if you want to offer the resell rights to your website's visitors, let them sign up to get it for free and use the thank you-page for an one-time offer with resell rights.

    just some suggestions :)

    Thanks for all your advice. The books are written by me not anyone else. I normally write about 2 books a week. The niche is normally recipes and cooking advice. I also have books on starting home based business. Thanks so much again! I will try to offer resell rights.

    $17 - are you mad?

    The majority of my books sell for either $37 or $47 without ANY rights. If we talk about exclusive resale rights I wouldn't even consider an offer of less than high $xxx.

    If the books are of any value (unique, quality content) then they can be monetized in a lot of ways and continually.

    yes, I am mad... :rolleyes:
    but not because I wrote '$17'...
    it's great for you that you sell your books for $37 or $47, but sweetcrabhoney18 talks about a book that is normally free and that is about a non-IM-topic. If she finds someone paying high $xxx for exclusive resale rights - great. but in my opinion she would be better off offering non-exclusive resale rights at a lower price point.
    as I said, just a suggestion.
