Smart internet marketers know that buying master resale rights is a fast-track way to get products to market. But did you know that Bill Gates and Microsoft started with a similar strategy?
Indeed, Bill Gates leveraged master resale rights to revolutionize the tech industry. Here are five key lessons from his journey:
1. Identify and address a pressing market need.
In 1975, Bill Gates read about the Altair 8800 computer in Popular Electronics. Realizing it needed a simple programming language, Gates pre-sold a version of BASIC to Altair before it was fully developed. He then collaborated with Paul Allen and Monte Davidoff to create it, marking the birth of Microsoft.
In 1980, when IBM launched its desktop PC without an operating system, Gates recognized an opportunity.
2. You don’t always have to create a product; buy the rights instead.
IBM initially asked Gates to create an operating system, recommending they purchase Digital Research's CP/M. When negotiations fell through, they returned to Gates, who discovered Tim Paterson’s QDOS ?" a CP/M clone. Microsoft bought the rights for just $56,000.
Today, you can acquire master resale rights for as little as $10 or even for free. Sometimes, great products are undervalued due to poor marketing.
3. Repackage and rebrand to build your brand.
Originally named QDOS ("Quick and Dirty Operating System"), Gates rebranded it as "PC-DOS" for IBM and later "MS-DOS" for the broader market. This strategic renaming helped solidify Microsoft's brand.
With resale rights, differentiating your product is crucial. By repackaging or rebranding, you can stand out and cater to specific market needs.
4. Don’t underestimate the potential; think strategically.
The success of any business relies heavily on intelligence, drive, and marketing prowess.
While others developed programming languages and operating systems, Gates identified gaps and leveraged products that others overlooked, building a billion-dollar empire.
We all encounter opportunities. Recognizing them and acting on them is key.
5. Value your efforts and knowledge.
Gates seized opportunities and transformed them. Do you think he would sell Microsoft’s rights for mere pocket change? Certainly not.
Avoid selling yourself short. Instead of lowering prices, enhance your marketing skills. Identify a market need, repackage products, and offer them at a premium price. Solve real problems, and you’ll find success.
Ultimately, don’t just seek to sell?"offer genuine value, and your business will thrive.
