    2024/09/23

    Have you ever seen an offer on social media claiming you can make big bucks in no time at all if you sell something created by someone else?

    We discuss:

    • What Master Resell Rights (MRR) are.

    • How MMRs gained popularity.

    • Why the MRR grift started to fall apart.
