I don’t know about you, but when I heard about the release of “SlumDog Millionaire” by Latif I was really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy. I have to admit the ‘hype’ was compelling. I even created a video (click here) to promote its release. Well the honeymoon’s over …

On a 5 STAR rating, I’ll be generous and give it I guess a ONE! After looking briefly at the ebooks, I also did the upgrade for the video tutorials (since I’m lazy and I personally think I learn better that way), thinking that I must be missing something from the 15 or whatever there were ebooks. I found the ENTIRE series VERY basic. The quality of the videos were ‘average’ and NOT worth the upgrade. This probably should have been released as a ‘freebee’ or ‘give-a-way’ …

If you’re a ‘newbie’, then you might want to get at least the ebook series. If you’ve been in marketing for any length of time, you might want to wait on this one

Rebranding, what a great idea! The ability to take someone else’s work and use it for yourself in some form or fashion, and/or sometimes even put your name on it (with permission no less). But what is proper eBook Rebranding Etiquette? I’ve asked a few people who are new to using or writting ebooks, and they say the equivalent of a shoulder shrug.

eBook rebranding has become a very popular way to offer one’s ideas and products over and over again. Usually when someone is offering a free rebrandable eBook, they spell out what you can and cannot say, edit or change. That’s pretty straight forward, even I can understand that. But what if there are no guidelines established by the author?

Do Unto Others …

It’s human nature to want to get something for nothing. With various software available, it’s not hard to “personalize” someone’s rebrandable eBook. Lots of links in there to “stuff” maybe you yourself sell. Hummm, what if I just … Even if you’re an honest person, it still might cross your mind. Ok well it did mine anyway . This concept reminds me of an old tee shirt I had with a picture of this lil’ guy on it along with the words, “Do unto others, then split!”.

Now picture this – “IT’s YOUR REBRANDABLE E-BOOK!” What’s mine is yours right bro! Wow, not such a good idea now is it? This time these are your affiliate links within, I mean that was the reason you wanted people to use it and pass it on to others, right? ‘Intellectual Property’ no matter how loose that term might be to you, is still someone else’s work. Like I always tell my 9/yr old son, “If it’s not yours, don’t touch it!”. Or better yet, “Do unto others (ebooks) as you would have them do unto you(rs) …”.

Rebrandable eBooks are a vehicle, a means to an end, a tool in your marketing arsenal. If you’re using someone else’s eBook, use it wisely! Remember there is “someOne” always watching. Do unto others …
