I need this for a project I am working on. 150 plr articles based on 5 different niches; how much would be the most you would pay for them assuming they were HQ and what would be your reason for that price point? Thanks in advance

    It depends on how much exposure they've had (and will have) along with the terms of the PLR that dictate what you can do with them.

    There's no point in buying PLR articles that will eventually turn up everywhere.

      Thanks for pointing that out. Does a 250 buyer limit sound like too much exposure? Or too little?

        250? Man, run the other way. 15 to 20 is the limit.

          That doesn't make any sense though. Why would I spend my time on a model that makes you 200 bucks tops?

            Where does the "200 bucks tops" come from?

            Is that "new math"?

            If you have 150 articles divided between 5 different niches, that's about 30 articles per niche? You could sell three distinct packs of 10 articles (for let's say $9 - and there are plenty of PLR-packs of "10 articles for $9" for sale?) in each niche, to each of 20 people. Call me old-fashioned but that looks more like "2,700 bucks tops", to me? Even at $7 instead of $9 per pack, it's still "2,100 bucks, tops"? Ok, it's not exactly untold riches, I agree, but it's not chicken-feed ("a poultry sum"), either?

            .

            What model are you talking about? You never said what you were going to do with them.

            First, just because the original writer/seller limits how many can be sold doesn't mean anyone takes that seriously.

            Right now I have at least 50,000 PLR articles of all varieties on my hard drive. A few years back I wholesaled PLR articles, software, videos, courses, you name it. This stuff has a very short shelf life. It's stale almost immediately.

            If I were to plug a couple of paragraphs from any one of them into Google or Bing or any SE, I'd get page after page after page of sites where these articles are posted.

            Is that what you want? Because that's what happens.

            You asked how much you should pay for 150 of these things. Nothing. Leave it alone. Unless you've got someone dumb enough to buy them at a profit.

              So I take it that your point is sell them 10 articles at a time at a lower price and limit the number of buyers instead of selling many at a time?

    The length of each article can also be a factor. Are they long articles or short articles?

    It can be 1 dollar per article and you can get them for 10 bucks per article. So many factors here.

    Are you paying a writer to create original PLR that you can the sell to others? If so, then you should work from the point of view of how much profit you anticipate earning. That will expand your options when it comes to availability of writers.

      I really don't understand your post. I'm not paying anybody to write anything for me. I wrote most of the articles myself from a blog I own.

      In this situation, you should also consider that you're not going to get anything approaching quality for less than $10 per, and that $10 is the absolute minimum. Even at $10 per article, you will need to get very lucky to get consistently high-quality articles that other people will want to buy.

      There are two kinds of writers who offer $10 per article:

      1. New writers that likely suck

      OR

      2. Established writers who can afford to offer that rate here because they charge $50 elsewhere. Those writers look for work on forums like these to fill gaps in their work schedule, and so may or may not be able to take bulk orders like this.

      To the OP:

      IDK that selling PLR is worth it. I know some do well with it, but I think that Google's changes over the last few years have hurt that market, no?

      On the whole, you get what you pay for.

        I did launch a PLR sale about a year ago and had decent success with it. I made a profit and all, but I stopped selling PLR to focus on a course I was working on creating on Udemy. Within that time, a lot has changed on this forum ( Sale of the forum, a change in the number of active members and so on). I am just looking to see how feasible launching a plr campaign will be on the forum, that's all
