If I allow an ebook to be rebranded by others what would be the best way (if any) to collect the Email addresses of the readers of the rebranded books ?
I think you'd need something in the ebook itself, such as a password which only allows the book to be opened once the email address has been sent.
Or you could just include a form asking for readers to email you - perhaps to sign up for a free ezine, or another freebie such as a relevant report. You wouldn't get everyone, but those you did get would probably be interested in your topic, and so more useful for future mailings.
You might find that you have more than enough work collecting the addresses of those who download directly (ie those who are going to rebrand the book) - I know I have!
With any business, it is up to the individual owner of said business to ensure the success of the business. You may make more or less than any sample figures or results that might be quoted on our web sites or other publications. All business involves risk, and many businesses do not succeed.
