selling PLR content

Are the PLR articles written by you, or are you buying them from another source? PLR articles are very cheap on most sites, so if you're writing your own, you will have some competition to face. Check out some of the sites that sell them and get some idea of what they're charging.

Also, you will have to take into consideration the quality of the articles you're selling. This might help you determine the price you want to charge. For my article marketing campaigns I buy most of my articles and rewrite them. But I buy only the top quality articles written by experts who know something about SEO and keyword research. DM me if you want more infomation.

They're written by a friend. We were supposed to collaborate on a project but she's on hiatus for an indeterminate amount of time due to personal issues and I'm stuck with a handful of articles and nothing to do with them.

Regarding prices, I've seen huge variations. I bought a wso of PLR articles that contained a few thousand for like 7 bucks and one Warrior whose list I'm subscribed to gave the advice of writing a 10 article pack in a hot niche and selling it as a WSO for 20 bucks to a maximum of 50 people.

I know cheap sources of plr exist. The reason why I asked is because I wanted to know if there are people who buy plr articles for reasons other than filler and backlinks (IE: they want people to actually read the articles and buy something as a result) and I guess you answered that. =) The articles she wrote seem fairly high quality for me (i did the keyword research myself, she can't tell IM from her behind), but I'm not much of an article marketer so I don't know how much a seasoned veteran would like them.

I am fairly new around here, but have been an avid writer and marketer for years. I have a library of thousands of articles and a lot of eBooks I have been thinking about bringing here. I have almost every topic out there and great quality. What thoughts do people have about buying?

If you're limiting your articles to a handful of people that's great, but regardless of whether 50 people get them or 1000, they will still have to be rewritten regardless right?

Well, that's my take on it - I'd hate to have my blog full of blog posts that match the blog posts of hundreds of other webistes out there because I have a particular standard I like to maintain, and it could be perceived by my prospects that I'm copying the work of somebody else, even if I bought the PLR legitimately (how would they know?).

Really, it's all determined by the perceived value of the person buying them.

Here's an idea to make the most of it...

Offer 5 of them for free in exchange for an email address. Hit them with an OTO for a great deal on 10 others that are related to the 5 you're giving them for free. Put the OTO on the 'thank you' page after they subscribe to get the freebies.

Now they won't be one-time only contacts because you'll have everyone on a list. And you'll probably make some sales from the OTO at the point of getting them on the list, so it won't be totally fruitless, money-wise.

Now you'll have a growing list of buyers and potential buyers. And (very important), you'll know their interests based on the topic of the articles you gave away and sold via the OTO. Build separate lists if you branch into more than one niche. Do this regularly and in a few weeks you'll have a nice, growing list, which means you'll have a nice growing customer base to go back to time after time. Every time you release a new batch of PLR, you'll make more sales because of the list buyers and the new folks buying your OTO from the new releases. Release a new batch of PLR every week - give 5 away and upsell 10 others via OTO - and within about 60 days you should have a nice list on your hands and a sales funnel that's becoming a monster.

Post the 5 freebies as a WSO. You'll spend $20 a week if you release new ones every week. You'll probably make that back and then some from OTO sales. Meanwhile, you'll be adding new people to your future sales bottom line.

Regardless of price, I am always on the lookout for high quality. So a good combo a price-to-quality ig good for me.

Granted it is better to re-write PLR a tad bit for best results, but sometime using it as-is works just fine and a good quality article or book makes for faster implementation.
