So far this month I’ve covered 8 different ideas for content creation. They have all been things you can write about on your blog (depending on the type and topic of your blog of course). Today and Friday I’m going to talk about a content creation method that can be helpful to those “non writers” out there ~ as well as the people who just don’t have enough time to write all this content.
Today we’re going to talk about PLR.
What is PLR?
PLR stands for Private Label Rights. What this means is someone writes an article. You buy the article and then you have the right to change it, modify it, put your name on it and call it your own.
What are the benefits of PLR?
If you’re not a “writer” the benefits of PLR can be huge. For many people it’s easier to start with something and then edit it than to start from nothing. This is where PLR comes in. PLR allows you to start with a complete article. Yes, other people will have access to this same article, so you want to change the title ~ you want to change the keywords targeted, and you want to add a little bit of yourself to the article, which means you could add a story or a paragraph, or change the way things are said so it sounds more like you. The point is you have a starting point ~ you don’t have to come up with the 500 words, you just have to change them up a little bit.
This can be great if you’re feeling stuck, or overwhelmed or just don’t have the time to do all the writing.
Where can I use PLR?
You can use plr anywhere you want. I would steer clear of using any kind of PLR for your articles at EZA ~ they will not accept them and seriously frown on PLR as of late. However, if you get a PLR article that’s tips on your topic you could easily break it down into 3 text modules and use it to create a squidoo lens. You could break it down and use 1 tip for 3 different free ad blogs.
You can buy a pack of PLR say maybe 5 or 10 articles and put them together to create a free report to give away to start building your list.
Just about anything about creating content that freaks you out or gets you overwhelmed can be overcome by using PLR in one form or another.
So why doesn’t everyone use PLR?
Here’s the deal. There are a LOT of shady PLR sellers out there. Like anything else online you have to make sure you are going to a reputable seller of PLR. There is PLR available, that has been out there since I started internet marketing years and years ago. A lot of people have tried PLR, didn’t change it or add to it, just slapped it up as is and had no luck so they no longer think PLR can be beneficial to their business.
This is completely false. When you buy from a reputable seller you can get excellent PLR. When you make that PLR your own you can create excellent content. While PLR is a shortcut for content creation you can’t just throw it up as is, you really want to make it yours.
How do you find great PLR? Here’s some tips from my colleague Nicole Dean.
Here’s the basics of the video for my non video folks:
Questions to ask yourself before you buy PLR
1. What’s the person’s reputation? Have they been around or is it a fly by night site? Is there contact information on the site? Someone you can talk to if you need to? Make sure there’s a person behind the site you’re going to buy from.
2. How many others will have access to the same PLR you’re getting? Limited access is always better. EasyPLR.com strictly limits sales of packs ~ do NOT sell any more packs after they are sold out.
3. What topics are you getting? Many sites send you random topics that aren’t related to anything you’re doing. Make sure you can shop only for what you need/want.
4. What quality article are you getting? Are they pure fluff? Is there original information? Is the English good?EasyPLR is written by professional writers and edited by a professional editor as well.
5. Are you locked into a membership or can you just get what you want when you want it?
6. Do you get extras with your PLR? EasyPLR provides bonuses with every order. Possibly options for monetization or more information.
Nicole’s site Easyplr.com is one of the few places I trust to get great PLR. She always provides top notch articles for a great price. She always has PLR on a variety of topics so it’s perfect for niche blogs, and there are always more article packs coming out.
If you run a blog that could benefit from food related PLR ~ like recipes and articles about food check out YummyPLR.com. They have excellent PLR as well ~ also one of Nicole’s companies. I have used the food PLR on a few of my food sites, and the quality is excellent and I just loved it.
If you’re not at all familiar with PLR or want to try it to see what it’s all about. I suggest you do two things.
1. Sign up for Nicole’s free course on PLR. It will give you a good understanding of PLR.(there’s a link at the bottom of the page you have to click to get there)
2. Sign up for the free PLR Nicole offers on her site. This gives you a chance to see the quality PLR she offeres, it also gives you a chance to see how you might be able to work with it on your site and in your business.
Again you can do both of those things at Easyplr.com. On Friday we’re going to talk about different ways you can use PLR in your business to help with content creation. I’m also going to have a FREE report for you! So make sure you keep an eye out for that on Friday.
If you have any questions about PLR please ask in the comment section. I’m working on doing an interview with Nicole so if you have questions you’d like to ask her please let me know and I’ll be glad to do that.
