PLR Sorcery

Here is a great guest post from Nicole Dean of Easy PLR. Please pop over and take a look (after you have bought stuff from me first!)

You may have seen the term Private Label Rights or PLR articles
being tossed around frequently lately. PLR articles are articles you
can buy (usually in packages or as part of a membership) that you may
edit and use as you wish. Unlike free reprint articles, you are not
required to link back to anyone else’s website which makes them
appealing to many web publishers.

Once you understand the concept behind PLR articles, you can see
why they are appealing. Most people can envision the value of adding
the articles to their websites. But, did you know there are more ways
to use PLR articles than that?

1. Add them to your blog.

Similar to adding PLR articles to your website, you can take
excerpts and use them on your blog for fresh content. Whether you take
a portion and use it as a “tip of the day” or use the entire article,
PLR articles can be a huge time saver for you.

2. Send them in your newsletter.

Need content for your newsletter? PLR articles are an option. Of
course, if you’re developing a relationship with your readers, you may
wish to edit the articles to make them your own voice. However, you can
pull a section from a PLR article – use it as inspiration — and whip
out a newsletter in minutes.

3. Start an ecourse

If you purchase a package of PLR articles based on a theme, it’s
quite easy to turn them into an ecourse simply by adding them to your
autoresponder. Something as simple as “Five Ideas for Kids Lunches” can
become a 5 day ecourse to grow a big newsletter list.

4. Use them in your podcast

Take a PLR article and use it as inspiration for a podcast. Add the content and you’re done.

5. Send them in a print mailing

Direct mailing is huge. If you have a list of postal mailing
addresses, put together a free report from PLR articles and send it
out.

6. Create a special report

Simply bulk together some PLR articles that have the same topic,
and make them flow into a special report. Turn it into a pdf file and
give it away to your website visitors.

See how easy that is?

The only hard part is finding a high quality PLR service
that fits your niche. Look around. Make sure the
PLR package or membership you choose provides you with high quality
articles so you can create something you’ll be proud of.

My favorite Internet Marketing abbreviation!

When I first jumped online as a brand new Internet marketer, I noticed a lot of insider lingo. There were many abbreviations that I had to work through and figure out not only what they meant, but what they meant to me.

What is PLR?

PLR stands for private label rights. These rights can be attached to article bundles, online reports, ebooks, and full product packages (with squeeze page, download page, sales page, etc.). PLR can also be videos, blog themes, header packages, graphics packages, turn-key blogs, and more.

PLR is generally inexpensive to buy because the PLR writer will sell each PLR item to more than one person. That’s how they can keep the cost down.  Your job will be to change up the products you purchase so they take on your personality and maybe include additional information.

Why would I want to buy PLR?

Using PLR is like getting a head start in a foot race.  The research has already been done for you; all you have to do is put your spin on it.  That means you can put the material you buy as PLR to work much faster than if you started from scratch.

Having ready-made content means you can post more often to your blog, which can give you a chance to rank higher in the search engines.

PLR products are especially helpful to new marketers because it means they can quickly have their own product to sell at the price they want to sell it.

What can I do with PLR?

There is a lot you can do with PLR besides posting it as content on your blog. You can use it for emails to your list, as an ecourse, or reworked as a report to use for your optin or to sell.

You can also turn it into a podcast, screencast video or PowerPoint presentation.  In addition, PLR can be used as a jumping off point for material for a membership site.

Many people use PLR as a bonus to another product they’re selling, or as a bonus when promoting an affiliate product.

Put on your marketing hat and figure out the most advantageous ways for you to use it!

What can’t I do with it?

Each PLR has Terms of Service so that’s a good place to find out. Many PLR providers will not allow you to turn around and sell the PLR rights to the product.  That means you can’t sell it or give it away as if you are a PLR writer.

Where can I get PLR?

Good question! You want to stick with the reputable PLR writers. One of my favorite is Peggy Baron’s AllstarPLR. She’s been writing PLR since 2008 and it’s consistently high quality. There is a lot of garbage out there. I recommend you stay away from the “9000 free PLR articles!” and the like.

PLR vs. Free Reprint Articles: Which is Best?

Content is always in high demand. Right now the focus seems to be on Private Label Rights (or PLR) articles. PLR articles are pre-written and sold in packages to online businesses looking for content. The big selling points of PLR articles are that you may edit the articles and that there is no author bio required (so they don’t have any outbound links).

Compare PLR articles to free reprint articles. Free reprint articles from places like ezinearticles.com or freeaffiliatearticles.com are written by people who have something they’d like to share. (Or, they are sometimes written by people just publishing junk, in the hopes that they’ll get some incoming links. But, good article directories will delete those, so we’ll focus on the good ones here.)

So, which is better? Honestly, each has its place. Sometimes you’ll find an excellent free reprint article that you’ll want to share with your readers and you won’t mind a bit having an outbound link, especially if there is an affiliate program associated with it. The free reprint article added value to your readers, and you didn’t have to write the article. That’s what free reprint articles are all about.

Other times you’ll already have an idea in mind for a topic and you’ll just want a boost getting that section of your website done. If you run across a high quality PLR package on that niche, you’re set to go.

So, how do you know which PLR service or membership to choose? Here are some guidelines to follow:

1. Some PLR sites offer a monthly membership where you receive a grab-bag of articles – on any topic. If you already know what you need, this may be a waste of money. Other PLR sites will list topics and you can buy the articles in a shopping cart. That ensures you receive the articles you need when you need them.

2. Are the articles written by professional writers with experience? Or are they outsourced to the cheapest overseas help they can find – no matter the quality? If the articles are going to be a reflection of your business, you’ll want to ensure that the articles are well-written.

3. Who’s running this thing? Is the PLR site run by someone who knows about content or someone who thinks they can ride the content wave and make a quick buck? Make sure you’re hitching your wagon to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Those are just a few tips to keep you from wasting money on a PLR site that you can’t use. Continue to use free reprint articles, but look into PLR articles as well. They can both benefit your website and your business.

3 Ways PLR is Perfect for Podcasting

Podcasters and Internet radio show hosts can use private label rights content in a variety of ways to help boost their listenership. PLR articles aren’t just for information sites and here are a few ways podcasters can put them to use on their own site.

1. Use the articles to post to a blog or website in between shows to keep your show fresh in your listener’s mind.

2. Use PLR to brainstorm future show topics.

3. Make recordings of the articles and post them as bonus or mini-podcasts.

No matter how you choose to use your PLR articles to boost your podcast, it’s extremely important that you realize you need to rework the original content to make it your own. Add your own thoughts, rewrite the content to make it fit your audience, add your own personal research and data, etc.

Download Your PLR and Put It To Work!

Wow, you’ve just found a mother lode of quality PLR articles for one of your niches and you quickly purchase and download them.  You are going to make money with these babies, that’s for sure!  But first you have to check your email, work out that techie problem, do some tweeting, do some online surfing (research, you know) and tweak your website header.

What happens is you lose your momentum and maybe even lose the PLR articles you downloaded.  You’ve got to have a plan and you’ve got to know where to find the PLR you bought.

Let’s start with the location of your PLR.

You don’t have to download them to where your computer wants to send them by default.  YOU tell them where to go.  Create a folder in “Downloads” and call it “PLR”.  Now create a folder inside “PLR” and name it your niche topic.  Maybe it’s “Blogging” or “Fish” or “Green Energy”.  Now your newly purchased articles have a place to go and you can download them safely without worrying you’ll never find them again.

It’s a good idea to rename the pack to something that makes sense to you.  The seller might have given it a code name to keep the thieves away, but those names will only confuse you too.  I prefer to put the subject and who I got it from.  Example:  bloggingplrAllstarplr.

Now on to the plan…

When you bought that article pack did you have something in mind regarding how to use them?  It’s best if you do, but sometimes you’re going to buy when it comes along knowing you will be working with it on your very next project.

Here’s a sample plan for your PLR pack:

1.  Download and decide how you want to use it.

• Use as blog posts?
• Put together in a report to add as a bonus to your product?
• Use as fodder for your membership site?
• Totally rewrite and submit it to an article directory?
• Etc.

2a. If you’re going to use it a bit later, add a note inside the folder where it’s located saying what you’re going to do with it.  You might forget otherwise.  Then put a note on your calendar for approximately the time you expect to be needing it to remind yourself you have it.

2b. If you’re using it now, make some further decisions.  What else does it need?  (more PLR articles to add to it if there aren’t enough to make up a report or ebook) How will you monetize it? (search Clickbank, Amazon, or your favorite affiliate product haunts).  It’s important to do this before you do any rewriting because if you don’t have all the pieces before you do any reworking of the articles, you might be creating more work than necessary.  You don’t want to rewrite an article one way and then pick a Clickbank product to promote and need to rewrite the article a different way.

4.  Post, email, or whatever action you need to do with your polished-up PLR.  Set up your autoresponder to send out the emails in a series, drip-feed your blog posts, etc.

5.  Pat yourself on the back for taking action. 

6.  Record what you did with the PLR articles pack and stick the note back in the original PLR folder.  Why?  Because you can use the PLR again in other ways and it’s wise to record what you’ve done so you don’t repeat yourself.

In summary, take that mother lode of quality PLR articles and put them to work as soon as possible.  If you get in the habit of handling them immediately, you’ll get a rhythm going and build momentum, and likely see an increase in traffic and sales.

Tips to Organize All That PLR Content

If you’ve been working online for any amount of time, you’ve probably purchased private label rights content at some point or another. PLR is a great tool that helps website owners add quality content to their websites without having to hire a ghostwriter to write it all for them or spend countless hours writing all of their content from scratch.

If you’ve purchased your fair share of PLR and find that it’s taking up tons of space on your computer’s hard drive and you’re having a hard time determining what content you’ve used and where and which articles you still have available for use, you’ll be happy to know, you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon to becoming disorganized with your PLR, until now that is.

Here’s one way you can organize your PLR content so that you know what’s been used and what is still waiting to find it’s way to the spotlight of your website or newsletter.

First, organize all your PLR by either niche or website. If you own more than one website it might be best to use the later organization method. Move all the articles that you want to use on that website into the site’s folder. Within your website folder create two folders. The first labeled “Rewritten – Ready for Posting to site” and the second, “Used.”

By creating two separate folders you can move the articles to the “Rewritten” folder once you’ve reworked them and they are ready to be added to your blog or website. After you have added them to your site, simply cut and paste the article to the “Used” folder.

And don’t forget there are tons of ways to use the same article over and over. If you’re looking for PLR eCourses that you can use to teach others about the many uses of PLR, have a look at this: PLR ecourse

Why Your Affiliates Should Be Using PLR to Promote You

If you run an affiliate program, you know how time consuming it can be to keep your affiliate center loaded with tools and resources to help your affiliates promote your product or services. It can be a full time job in it’s own and quite frankly as a business owner you have other things you need to expend your energy on, on top of your affiliate program.

One way to save yourself some time and keep your affiliates happy and with a constant source of promotional resources is to with the use of PLR articles. There are actually a couple of ways to go about this, so choose the one (or both) that fits your particular program needs the best.

The first way to use PLR in your affiliate program is to use your own PLR articles and rewrite them so they can be used by your affiliates to promote your product or service. This will save you tons of time writing completely original content for them to use. It will also save you money, because PLR articles tend to be much less expensive than hiring a ghostwriter.

The second way, which will benefit you and your affiliates more in the long run, but may not be something your affiliate’s are willing to do on a consistent basis (which is why you should actually implement both of these techniques) is to teach your affiliates how to use their own PLR content to promote you.

You can set up an eCourse or training manual that explains how PLR works and why it’s beneficial to them to use it in your program. Don’t be surprised when if you get a few emails from affiliates thanking you for turning them onto private label rights articles, either.
