INTRODUCTION

We all love the giveaways! All of those products and information are there for the taking - in exchange for our names and email addresses. Most of us know that building a huge opt-in list, in a very short amount of time is what the people who are giving the products away are gaining.

We, on the other hand, are gaining a ton of products for free. Many think that is the only benefit to us of these giveaway products, and few utilize these products to their full potential. The fact of the matter is, these products that others are giving away represent a goldmine to those who are downloading the products - if they have the ability and knowledge to see that.

Think about the last giveaway that you ‘attended.’ You signed up for the giveaway, and downloaded free products like crazy. Now, what have you done with those products since then? The chances are good that you may have actually read a few of the ebooks, and possibly even used some of the software applications. The chances are even greater that you did nothing more than that.

You are literally leaving money sitting on your hard drive - the money never even made it to the proverbial table! There are numerous things that you can do with those free products you downloaded, and all it takes is a little creative imagination and a little elbow grease. You can literally start making money from products that you downloaded for free within hours of downloading them - if you know what to do with them!

The first step is to get your downloaded products organized. This may take a great deal of time if you haven’t been doing this all along. But regardless of how long it takes, this is something that you need to do before you can determine how best to use the products that you have.

Products should be placed into folders, as follows: 1 folder for products that you have private label rights (PLR) to; 1 folder for products that you have resell rights to; 1 folder that you have master resell rights (MRR) to; and 1 folder that you do not have any PLR, Resell, or Master Resell rights to.

Now, inside these folders, you should group like products together.

For instance, if you have products that pertain to dogs, keep all of the dog products in a folder named ‘dogs.’ If you have a lot of Internet Marketing related products, keep all of those in a folder named ‘Internet Marketing.’ These subfolders should, of course, still be kept in the main folders that depict what the various rights to the products are.

It is also important that you keep all licenses, sales pages, branders, and other information that was in the original product folder inside the folder with the product - just as it was when you downloaded it. If you start moving things around, you won’t remember what product gives you what rights.

It may also be a good idea to start cataloging the products that you download. Again, this may take some time, but in the end, it will prove to be a time saver. This can easily be done on a spreadsheet. Also, make sure that you note what licensing rights come with the product on the spreadsheet, just in case something does get lost.

Again, this organization does take time and effort, but it is very important. It is equally important to really look at each product that you’ve downloaded. Some of it is total junk, and just needs to be deleted. But you need to thoroughly look through, try, or read the product before you determine that. If you absolutely know that you will have no use for it, dump it. If you aren’t sure, hang on to it.

It is also a good idea to keep track of how you’ve used each product. This can easily be done in the same spreadsheet that you set up to catalog the products. Later, you won’t remember how you used these things, so it is important to keep track. You might even want to include information that indicates how successful your use of the product was - whether that success is measured in dollars, opt-ins, or website visitors.

While it will take you time to sort out what you already have, you can be sure that when future giveaways take place, you will be better prepared for those downloads, and it won’t take any time at all to sort and organize the newer stuff. So, this organization that you do now will not only make your use of the products much easier, but it will save you a great deal of time later when it comes to future downloads.

Once you have everything organized, you are ready to determine how best to put each of the products that you have to use. In the following pages, you will find ten different ways to use the free products that you have downloaded, and you may find that many of the products that you have can be used in more ways then one.

Therefore, when using your products, don’t remove them from the files that you have sorted them into, unless you know for an absolute certainty that you won’t be using a product again.

Before deleting any product from your hard drive, make sure that you back it up onto a disk first. That way, should you discover in the future that you do have need of the product again, you still have the product. With all of this said, let’s find out how to cash in with those giveaway products!
