You might think that it is never a bad idea to buy master resell rights to products that you are considering selling and/or reselling to members of your list. The truth is that there are plenty of times when this is not the best course of action. You need to be able to recognize the potential pros and cons of reselling products and the rights to resell those products before you make your investment rather than finding out it's not a good idea after it's too late.

How can you know the difference if you haven't seen the product already?

1) Go with a name you know. As you make your way to the Internet marketing inner circle you will find that there are many names you are going to recognize more and more often. These are names of those that have stood the tests of time and have made their way to the center of this illustrious group of Internet marketers. Chances are that if they are offering products with master resell rights it's going to be a solid product.

2) See if other people are selling it or what they have to say about it. Chances are good that if you do an Internet search for the product name you will see that there is either a lot of commentary about the product or very little. While it is understandable if this is a brand new product it shouldn't be the case if the product has been around for a little while and other marketers are supposedly marketing these master resell rights with great success.

3) Ask questions. If you are new to resell rights and simply aren't sure, ask around. Participate in forums and ask other forum members about the product creator. It is likely that if the product creator has been around someone there has heard of him or her along the way. Internet marketing forums are a great source of information when you are just staring out and long after you've gotten your feet wet.

4) Read the fine print. Even among master resale rights not all agreements are created equally. Know what you are getting for the extra money or even if it's a product that is being given to you along with master resell rights you need to know which exact rights you do and do not have.

One thing you should keep in mind is this. Even if a product that offers master resell rights isn't a great idea for you to sell, that doesn't mean—assuming that giving the product away or including it as part of a package—that the product can't be of use to you or help you make very real profits.
