8 More Ways to Use PLR to Your Advantage

Today I want to cover some different ways you can use PLR in your business. If you’re having trouble creating all the content you need for your business I hope this will help give you some ideas on how you can get it done a little easier.

Before we get started with the ways you can use PLR I just wanted to address a question I have received about PLR (and apparently Nicole has been asked the question too because she did a whole video on the answer.) Since she’s the PLR expert I thought I’d let her share the answer with you.

Q. Is it unethical to use PLR?

For the non video folks:

No it is not unethical, however there are some better ways to use it. If you slap it up just as it is and put your name on it as the author it might bite you in the but when someone else does the same exact thing. While that’s not unethical per se ~ it may tarnish your reputation which is KING in this business.

It is basically a way to outsource your writing and get you started. The same as you can have someone create graphics for your site ~ PLR can help you overcome the things you have a hard time doing yourself.

Now with that out of the way let’s talk about how you can use PLR. Because if you pay for it and it just sits on your hard drive doing nothing you’ve wasted your money.

1. Blog posts

• While I don’t recommend using a PLR article as is for a blog post I do think it can be a wonderful place to get started. What if the article provided a few different ideas about one topic. Could you easily take those ideas and put them in list format and create a list post?

• You could take the article and add your own experiences or stories to it to create a brand new unique article.

• You could read the article and find a sentence or paragraph that really stands out for you and use it as a blog starter (maybe in block quotes) and then write your response or opinion to the item you’ve posted.

2. Freebies

• Grab a pack of PLR articles on your topic. Pull the articles together into one report by adding some content that will connect the articles. Give the new report a name (and a nice ebook cover if you can). Create a pdf  of the report and give it to your list as a freebie or for signing up for your list.

3. Autoresponders

• Get a report or article pack and create an autoresponder series out of it. You can pull paragraphs out and use them as the emails you send out over the course of a week/month/year. This keeps you in front of people and at the forefront of their mind.

4. Newsletters

• If your niche lends itself well to a newsletter you can easily use PLR as content for your newsletters. You will need to add your personal touches to the articles ~ but since they won’t be published online ~ just going to your list via your newsletter you don’t have to worry so much about the “duplicate content” issue. The more quality content you can give your newsletter subscribers the better.

5. Link building

• There are plenty of places you need to have content to build links. We know links are very important. You can use PLR to create the content you use to link back to your site. Maybe take an article and break it up into 3 parts. Use the 3 parts as content for your free ad blog posts.

• Buy a PLR pack on your topic and break up or mix and match the articles to create a squidoo lens.

• Grab a PLR article and add a new introduction and maybe some anecdotes and use them in a google knol or a hubpage. (make sure you do enough remix on these to make it pretty unique)

• Use the articles or mix and match the articles to create free blog posts so you can link back.

6. Marketing

Twitter:

• This is a GREAT way to use PLR. Grab a sentence that gives some good information and use it as a tweet with a link back to your site.  You can use a site like socialoomph.com to create these tweets ahead of time and schedule them to go out over the course of the day/week.

Facebook:

• You can use paragraphs or sentences to use for facebook updates as well.

• You can also create notes on your facebook page on your topic. When creating notes make sure you tag people who are interested in the same topics as you so they will get a notice you’ve created a note.

7. Article Marketing:

• You can NEVER use a PLR article as the article you use directly in an article directory ~ however ~ you can use it as a seed article to create unique articles with UAW or with other article creation software like the Magic Article Rewriter. Both of these rewriters use three original articles and then create unique articles from the three. This would be a great way to use the PLR articles.

8. Video:

• We haven’t talked much about using video to promote our sites (because I don’t do much of it and probably should do more lol), but video ranks very well and you could use a PLR article or report to create a video. Even if you found images to show in the video and just read the article. It could also be made into a powerpoint presentation and then you could show the powerpoint slides and read the article. You could even use the article to give you an idea to talk about them just film yourself talking about the topic.

As you can see there are many many ways you can use PLR. These are only the ways you can use PLR to support your current business, but there are ways you can use PLR to CREATE an entire business!
