Latest Reader Poll Results

At long last here is a summary of the latest reader poll. This time around I didn’t get a massive turnout of voters, but none the les the results are quite interesting.

The question I asked was:

Have you ever bought a product with Private Label or Master Resell rights and never used it?

And the results:

75% Yes
25% No

Interesting! I know I’ve certainly done this. Bought a couple of ebooks with the intention of reselling them for a profit. However several months down the line they’re still sitting on my C Drive “gathering dust”. I see most of these products in the make money online niche and whilst I do truly believe you can make money this way, you do have to know what you’re doing.

I suggest only buying these products if they come with comprehensive instructions on how to set up a sales page, how to take payments and what exactly you have the rights to do. A money back guarantee is helpful and of course if you don’t have a big email list to sell to, you probably need to think about building this first also.

Well, the next poll is now live and the question is:

Which of the following marketing methods have you found most useful for growing your small business?

Networking
PR
Telesales
Website
Events
Promotions
Advertising
Other

You will see the poll on the top right of the page! It’s free to participate and takes about 10 seconds, so please don’t be shy.

    No surprise that networking is near the top but PR so far for us hasn’t been all that useful. I guess it depends on the business category and also whether or not it is strict press releases or local articles.

    Telesales has always been very effective but is increasingly difficult. Events, promotions and advertising can be very hit or miss but I imagine that too is by industry.

    Great survey, will fill it out now.
