Pay Attention to Link and Affiliate Opportunities

By Sean R Mize

Residual income can be generated from links and affiliate offers that you have placed on the web site, as long as they are not removed by the new owner. So, in essence, the content you write should be written with the idea of keeping some form of residual income in it for future gains. But, more than likely the new owner will eventually get around either modifying the affiliate id and for sure, they will want to change all the AdSense publisher ids to their own. But, that doesn't mean there are not other ways that you can generate income in a residual manner from your web site by including it in e-books, reports, and other products that you sell to your new buyer.

When you sell the website, you can tell the new buyer what their rights are to the content that exists on the site. If you are giving them full rights to the content, they can change anything they want. However, you may just give them resell rights or master resell rights. In this case, they won't be be able to modify the links and affiliate offers embedded in some of your products, but they can resell them. That's really optimal for you although it may deter some experienced web site buyers from bidding as they will want full rights to the content, most likely. Sometimes, if you included content that was MRR to begin with, then you can't modify it and neither can the buyer. They will need to be made aware of what content has what licenses, which is typically done at the beginning of any e-book or report. Articles and blog posts, in general, are assumed to be full right when passed to the new buyer, so you will see many modifications in this area to include the new buyers affiliate offers or AdSense information.

However, if you are careful about adding the MRR and RR items into the web site, you can add your own links and affiliate offers and they will not be subject to change. Since the new owner knows he can resell the product as is, and that it is a source of income, odds are they won't remove it. They may even promote it if they like it a lot. After all, they don't have to be the author of a product to sell it online. Yet, they will make the profit on it and you will get more traffic and residual sales from links and affiliate offers that you haven't even promoted in years. You do have to be careful to keep those download pages and affiliate programs active, otherwise, you can lose out on sales that are out there that other buyers are marketing for you, which wouldn't be in your best interest.
