Hello Warriors,

I need step by step instruction on how to re brand e books.. I have a ton of them, but most of the instructions on how to do it suck.. I need some one who has done this and can give me Step by step instruction.. Not just make sure you change the pink copy.. I need to know How to change the PINK COPY..

If there is software that I have to have to do it.. there are so many files, and I just don't understand.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you
Mark

    Hi Mark,

    We need a little more information. What do you have? Are these PLR books already in .pdf format? Are these Word docs?

    Most of PLR I buy comes to me in Word. I just make changes and turn it into a .pdf. Word will do that with a free plug-in from Microsoft. There is a free .pdf converter here at the WF. Maybe someone can tell you where.

    Open Office is a free Word lookalike. It will open Word and convert them into .pdf.
    I use Adobe InDesign to make my .pdf files.

    If the ebooks you have are already in .pdf format you will need to copy and paste the contents into Word or Open Office, make your changes, then export that as a .pdf file.

    I've never used Adobe Acrobat, so I don't know if that program can open a .pdf and let you make changes.

    You will also need new ebook covers. You can hire a warrior to make that, you can do it yourself in Photoshop (expensive) or in GIMP (a free Photoshop lookalike).

    Here is a free ebook about how to do that (no op-in) http://www.ideapage.net/HowToMakeEcoversInPS.pdf

    Does this help?

        Mark, theres really not much to understand, if you have PLR rights, you can change the whole PDF content, you can reword it, you can use it as is and just make a whole new sales webpage and ecover, you can pretty much do anything you want with it.

        If you have the PSD files to the graphics or the the sales page that helps lots, if not then you gotta work with what you have or make a new one.

        If you would like help P.M. and I can give you a quote on what I would charge to rebrand the graphics, I have done this many times, so I am familiar with building a whole sales page with grapics, or redoing a sales page with new graphics, whatever is needed I am sure I can do.

        I am not a copywriter though so thats out of my skillset.

        Mark,

        Basically you have to "re-do" the ebooks. Most PLR comes as Word documents so you can make changes, then turn your new version into a .pdf file.

        If the books are already .pdf files, you can't just change the .pdf file. You need to copy and paste the contents of the book into Word or Open Office (free software) and make your changes there before making the new .pdf book.

        The graphics need to be done by a graphics person - or you get to spend tooooo much time trying to learn how to do graphics. Photoshop has a steep learning curve - actually it's more like a cliff than a curve.

        Get EWGQDD to work with the graphics for you.
