How much would you pay a publisher for their product including all the rights, if they are plateaued at about a 1 gravity. I found a product that I want to basically augment into my own product, and thought buying a bombed out 1 gravity product would kill over half the work for me and might be the way to go. Any ideas? The product goes sells for $29.95 I believe.
If a product have a low gravity does not mean that its bad and worthless - probably the owner is not good enough to market it (bad landing page/ sales letter). I have seen crappy products selling loads just because they were marketed well But anyways, check if thers a demanding market for the product first. Good Luck!
I'm not sure. It think it's hard to say. Some people would sell it pretty easy, I imagine other publishers would view their ebook as "their baby". You could always just email the owner and tell them that you're interested in purchasing their product. If the guy isn't getting much in the way of sales, a few hundred bucks might be enough to have him part with it.
I am about to email the publisher, but wanted some information to negotiate with first. If anyone has any price range ideas or similar experiences, please advise!
I don't think there is a flat number. It's not like there's an index of values for ebooks versus a used car lol. He'll sell it for whatever he's wanting to sell it at. How much are you willing to buy it for? If you're unfamiliar with negotiating, it's just a matter of throwing out a lower price and graciously raising it, as long as they're also lowering their price. Just tell them you're interested in buying and let them think about it. It could be just a useless product to them at this point and they can let it go cheap. Let him throw out the first numbers and just "black ball" his offer. Just negotiate. And what I mean by blackball is if he comes back with $500 for it, immediately respond with $150 saying "it's not that good, it just has a gravity of one. $150 is a lot man"
That is some very good negotiating advice Supper. I guess my real question isn't how much should I offer the guy, but how would you go about valuing a product. To clarify, I am looking for the general idea on how to value a product, not the actual price I should offer. Would you value it based on a years worth of sale? Something like that?????
throw $30 ppc at it and see if you get any conversions. If you get a conversion or more, then the value would be based on how many affiliates you could get to promote it. If you do not get any conversions or if you have to work too hard to get a conversion, it will be more difficult to get the average affiliate to stick with it. The value at that point would obviously be a lot lower.
That's a very good idea, but I intend to transform the product into another, half new, half old. But that would be a good way of testing the product out. Any other ideas out there in DP land?>
The value of it is how much you expect to make of it. I suppose you could pay a years worth, but I wouldn't lol.
