How To Hire An Author (or expert) Already Selling His His Own Book/product..
There are several niches I want to get into and I am getting a little tired of trying to create products myself or outsource it to writers on outsourcing sites. It takes too long to create it yourself and I never get what I want when I hire writers (and end of editing it a whole lot and also training them for weeks). It's a time waste and fatiguing.
However, there are experts already out there either selling their own books on Amazon or making Youtube videos or with their own website. I'd like to approach one (or multiple) experts and get them to either:
1) Create a new ebook for me
2) Or let me sell the product they are already selling themselves (maybe under a new product name).
What is your advice on this?
a) How much should I pay?
b) Should I have some sort of contract (so they can't sell the guide to someone else)?
c) Should I just re-brand their current product (and pay them to do that) OR should I get them to create something new (although, it would be on the same topic, etc).?
d) Are there any resources out there that teach about this (I thought Ryan Deiss used to have a course about this).
I also want control over the marketing of the product and I also probably don't want to profit share. I'd rather pay a 1-time fee and have complete control/ownership of the product.
Any recommendations or advice?
Thanks.
