Is Creating PLR Products Profitable?

16 replies
Just curious to see what other Warriors think...

Do you think creating PLR products are profitable? I see a lot of different PLR's for different things, and have considered putting together a PLR offering myself. Do you find this as a good business? Do you consider it more of a short-term or long-term business?

Want to get some thoughts and opinions.

    I find it as a good and long-term business. You just need to know how to use them right. PLR products can be used for all types of marketing. The most profitable ones with the use of plr products would be email marketing and Info-marketing-Product Creation based on personal experience. PLR Products adds value to one's business in all sorts of ways.

      Long term is a good point....
      Because it is modifiable, it does last a lot longer then products that
      "go out of style".

  • In my humble opinion, absolutely not!

    Why you may ask?

    Simply because tons of people have access to it, which makes it become redundant!

    I personally believe in creating new and unique content!

    Trust me, it's not difficult to do, UNLESS, YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IT!

    Again, trust me, there's ample information out there to do it yourself, FOR FREE, in order to accomplish this!

    So, not to put the OP down, but I personally DO NOT believe in PLR!

    Wishing you all success!

    P.S. If I could teach you this OR show you HOW TO, would you be interested? If so, then please let met know!

      Regardless if the PLR material is more than 5 years old, it does not necessarily mean that it is already substandard. As long as it has quality and well written content, the product will still look as it was first written. It is also important that you update the product and work on enhancing it to give a fresh look. But of course that is the one of the major points of using plr. To modify/enhance and resell for a higher profits. Like, I said before, it is the way you perform these steps. You can make any plr whether outdated or not unique. The time to create unique content can be reduced by using plr in any type of condition. By saying absolutely not, you must have a lot of time and money in your hands. For one thing, plr profiting bought me my first car. Do remember this, anything in this world can be used for something innovative, it is just up to you to find a way.

        With all due respect, your point has been duly noted (just had to look at your siggy to figure that one out)!

        Anyway, I'm not saying that you are right or I am wrong. Many people have made a lot of money by using PLR.

        However, I said IN MY humble OPINION, I don't believe in PLR as it = mass production of availability, which I don't believe in, as per my previous reasons noted above!

        With that said, and further to your "perceived statement, that I must have plenty of money or time on my hands to make those statements" I HAVE SACRIFICED AND HAVE PAID THE PRICE (in having a life, and investing my time & $$$) to understand the difference between paying for PLR (which is available to the masses) and creating your OWN CONTENT (original content, freely, without having to invest a dime into AKA the Public Domain, in order to really stand out from the crowd)!

        Again, I stand by what I've stated! Just my 2 cents worth here!

        Hope others see the light here!

        WOW! Just noticed. Ludovic, you just joined here in July 09 (2 months ago) and have made 37 posts and have a siggy pointing to your PLR membership and want to stir the pot! Man you've got .........

          Please don't jump into conclusions. I've joined here 1 1/2 years ago, just changed my account for personal purposes. Another thing, I have 37 post, because I don't have all day to conversate, only when I have time. I'm a person who gets work done not read and comment all day. By owning a plr membership, and by answering a plr related topics shouldn't be an issue. If I have experience with plr profiting, then i should share my opinion with someone else that wants to jump into the field, if i have the time. Last thing I want to say is whats the whole point of having a signature in a forum. One thing for sure, it is part of marketing, and if you don't take advantage of it, you must be a really stupid marketer or someone who doesn't maximize their marketing potentials.

      Hey Brent,

      With all due respect, I did not misunderstand your question!

      I, too, was talking about creating YOUR OWN content without relying on already-made PLR content, which, again, I don't believe in.

      However, for folks that don't realize the power of Public Domain Content (which is readily available for FREE by the way), then this is irrelevant to them! (Again, it takes knowledge to find this type of content, so if you can do it for them, then Yaaaaaaa! for you)!

      Cheers,

      JMB

        Why does the OP have to rely on already made PLR to create their content?

        PLR is a perfect model for some people especially when the content is restricted to say 100 or 200 people.

        Using Public Domain which is a good model, but again it is easy to access and is available to anyone who wants to use it. How is that a better solution?

        There is a place for both. How many more versions of public domain books do we need?

        If you think all PLR comes from other PLR material, then you don't know the market and how it is created.

          I don't understand the 100 or 200 people limit actually? Since those 100 or 200 people will still sell PLR right to other people, it won't be only limited to 100 or 200 at all.. Am I missing something here?

    I have made many, many thousands from both creating and selling products with PLR and from buying/customizing/reselling other peoples PLR.

    It is absolutely extremely profitable.

    If you're reselling PLR you have bought, of course its going to be better if you customize it, but it isn't always essential. Just because many other people are selling something doesn't mean it won't sell.

    How many people are selling that 'Underground Secret Twitter Manifesto' that comes with master rights? Countless numbers of people, hasn't stopped me from selling over 2000 copies of it myself.

    If the offer is good and the traffic is targeted, the product will sell.

    I'm sure that PLR WSO that's featured at the top of this forum has made an absolute killing, I know I couldn't resist it.

    Here's an interesting blog post on PLR products from Robert Plank Private Label Rights: 4,444% ROI

    In a nutshell he bought a plr product, repurposed it, sold it and made $700 for 20 minutes work.

    The big question is how much time did the creator of the product spend on it and earn from selling it as plr. Was it as much as Robert? Not in this instance.

    Restricted rights is the key here. Only the people who buy the original have rights to the source code. They are not allowed to sell, give away, add to membership sites or anything. Basically they are for their own use, but because they are PLR they can make changes and put their name on them.

    If they were unrestricted rights where everybody could have them you would be right in your thoughts.

      Thanks for the clarification.. What do you think for softwares? On a limited membership site, would you prefer PLR software? Softwares are not easy to edit like ebooks.. You would get the source code for it but won't be able to edit it yourself if you don't know coding. Would love to hear your thought for software instead of ebooks.

      Thanks

    I personally wouldn't buy PLR software, because I'm not a programmer. But, I should imagine people who know how to program would love it, because it gives them the start they need
