The one thing you absolutely must understand is reason reprint rights are sold in first place. The product behind reprint rights is created to make money... plain and simple. If reprint rights are dirt cheap, creator is probably hoping for a viral effect. He wants as many copies as possible in circulation because this somehow benefits him. If you buy these reprint rights you must realize that you're not going to make a lot of money since market is probably going to be saturated very quickly.

Another reason publishers/marketers sometimes sell reprint rights is because product behind reprint rights is no longer selling. So they repackage product as "reprint rights" and generate a renewed revenue stream. However, if you buy these reprint rights you're probably buying something that you won't even earn back your investment on. That's why it's critical that you really look at what you are getting.

A third reason reprint rights are sold is because of backend sales built into product. The creator of these products sell you rights to a product that will probably earn you a good return on your investment. However, if it's a product that sells for less than $50, you can be sure that built-in backend sales all accrue to product originator. Something built into product drives subsequent, related sales back to source. These backend sales are generally for more expensive items and this is where product creator really makes his money. That's ok, provided you get a marketable product when you purchase reprint rights to front end product. Just be aware of big picture :-)

This is a fairly brief discussion of reprint rights. I assert that majority of reprint rights being offered to you today are virtually worthless. You rarely get something for nothing, so when you buy cheap reprint rights you need to ask yourself what are you really buying. Top end reprint rights can be expensive but are worth it if you are prepared to properly market them. I actually recommend creating and marketing your own products, but until you do, reprint rights offer a way for you to get lions share of proceeds. Just make sure you don't get eaten by lion during transaction.

Work in moderation and keep regular hours.
