question about PLR articles to sell

1) If she wrote them for me and I already submitted them to ezinearticles or other directories, could I then package them up as plr and sell them to others?

2) If so, where are some of the best places to sell these plr packages? Or is it best to set up a website/plr site and sell them there?

I've never gone this route so I am not sure as how to go about it. Thanks a lot in advance!!
Krysti

You COULD package them up and resell them but, depending upon how long they've been out on the 'net, they might not give buyers a bang for their buck. Also, 350 words is a bit short for articles. Might work better as blog posts.

A lot, of course, also depends upon the quality of the articles. There is no end to the PLR sites where you can buy poorly written content for cheap. There are a smaller number of places where you can buy good quality articles at a fair price.

Think about having your daughter bundle 500 word articles into niche-specific packages. You could set up your own site and maybe launch her writing career in the WSO forum.

Just my .02

Thanks

If the writing quality is good, your daughter will be in great shape. Doing something like this would get her started and also introduce her to buyers. People that buy may be interested in paying for additional articles

I think selling the articles in a pack, with $1/per article is a fair price.

The pricing is a good one at $1/plr article.

Though typically the rights that are included with a PLR package stipulate that owners can not submit these articles as-is to article directories. If you are already submitting them to article directories yourself you are violating the terms of the package and not making it fair to other buyers. That would devalue them significantly.

I have bought PLR articles here before and the quality was nice, the seller was nice, the terms said no submission to article directories and yet I found them on article directories from the seller. I haven't bought from them since.

That may be just my point of view, but wanted to pass caution your way. And except for that issue, I think the business model is a great way to start making money online.

I'm hoping this model works for me. I hadn't thought of using the articles I write for myself. Someone in a thread somewhere (probably this one) that you should keep one of the orders for yourself and put them where ever you want. It just makes sense that it would be changed before submitting them to ezine or whatever.

The thinking could be trying to beat them to the punch since one of the people you sell to is bound to try and submit it as is to ezine but that just isn't playing fair, imo.

I also highly recommend keeping and using one set for yourself. I just wanted to mention that everyone play by the same rules. The originator can definitely post them to their own site ahead of time, but the directories I didn't like (since the license stated no submitting to directories)

Well that is entirely NOT true. There could be a few bad apples out there, but there are definitely some high quality offerings.

Welcome to the forum, but don't start spreading lies here from the beginning. Not a good way to get started.

  Yeah if she writes quality she could get up to $10 per article
  if she makes a name for herself on odesk, elance etc
  
  And before anyone say "who the hell would pay $10..." I do and
  I am glad to for amazing original content that I don't have
  to even think about.
  
  The only thing with this model is that it is one off payments
  so you will earn more up front but there is no recurring like the
  plr. Test them both and see what you get better results for over
  time. check out Private Label Rights Products including PLR articles, ebook, templates, software and other PLR products they seem to have
  some good stuff and good upsells, cross sells etc

I'd recommend to "strategize" by creating a Funnel, say...

$1 - 350 word Blog Post
$3 - 500 word Topical Articles
$7 - 500 word Articles with Niche Keyword Integration
$10 - 750 words, 3 File Formats
$12 - Custom Articles: Keyword Rich, Niche Specific

You could also target high value Keywords and create articles around those keywords. Sell them to the sites / blogs that target those keywords.

Distribution:
1. WSO - 1st Choice: $37 Value is well worth the investment
2. Sell them from your own site
3. Sell grouped articles in PDF format in online book store here's a few:

1. Kindle Store - (Amazon)
2. Lulu.com
3. E-Junkie
4. Tradebit
5. Smashwords
6. LoDingo
7. Scribd - can't sell, but has massive distribution.

Thanks

Krysti, your daughter will make way more writings unique articles and selling them one at a time.

But if it was me I would just write the articles and post them on the directories. She will make way more in the long run with aged, unique articles on net.

I've very recently got into writing and selling PLR article packs, and my advice would be for you to sell your daughters packs at no less than $1 per article(like you said), but in the beginning I'd recommend closer to $0.50 per article until she has established a reputation. I'd also recommend packs of more than 5 - at least 10.

In terms of your question about submitting them to EZA first - I'd say absolutely not. By doing this, you are immediately devaluing them to potential buyers, at least in my opinion anyway.

Your second question - yes, you could set up a dedicated site to sell them, but at first it might be worth selling them here, either in the WSO section or the Classified section. If they are well written and competitively priced, there's no reason why they won't sell The best of luck

If your daughter wants to really make a business out of selling the articles, then a website is a must. If it's just for fun money then you could try just selling in WSO's or in the classifieds.

I also agree that a 10 pack is better. Even better than that is a short report with a cover graphic.

I wouldn't use them first either. I don't with my PLR because I don't want to be "competing" with my customers. I do reserve a license for my self for later use but I never submit the articles to article directories as is.

is a 20 pack too much? Even if they are selling at .50 each?

I'm just trying to find ways to make my PLR packs more attractive before I start banging my head against the wall trying to create more.

I just put up a 20 pack myself and it made a few sales. Too early to tell for me if it works better or the same as a 10 pack but I was thinking that when I buy PLR I actually want more than 10 articles on the topic so I figured I would do that for some of my packs. Of course it depends on the niche too so it's kind of hard to judge.

I sell them for more than .50 cents each though. Sometimes lowering the price doesn't really result in more sales and it makes it harder to charge more later on.

I did a 20 pack for a WSO and dropped the price for the pack from the original price of $25 down to $25 for the WSO and then down to $10 and have bumped it up once. It just fell off the 3rd page. One sale. It probably has to do with the niches but I'm not sure I want to experiment with other ones unless I can find something that will generate enough sales to pay for a WSO, bump, and WSOpro.

I don't know what I did wrong. I do know I want to find out before I waste anymore money, though. I even used WSOPro to make sure everything went right.

It's been a very frustrating couple of days.

I'm probably not allowed to talk about mention my WSO in here so if this gets deleted so be it. Not really in a caring mood right now.

I see you are a War Room member, why not hop over there and grab the free WSO Machine Guide that teaches you exactly how to launch a successful WSO? Maybe your next WSO will kick butt!

It's worth a shot.

I just don't know if there is anything wrong with my product or not. I can't get any gauge on the quality of it. I believe it's good, or at least I thought it was good, but I just don't know if it's marketable.

I'll just go look at that machine guide.

thanks again for the help.

PM me the link to your WSO and let me see what you were offering. Maybe I can spot something.

  Hi there, Krysti here...
  
  I just wanted to give you all a huge "thankyou" for all your recommendations
  and help here. I really appreciate all of your ideas.
  
  I too was very leary about grabbing some of my daughters articles that I had
  already posted on EA and decided to add to a PLR pack so I am glad I
  asked that. I won't go that route. I do have 10 articles just newly written from her that I will think about packaging up. I am just still in the thinking stage though.
  
  One of the reasons I thought of a plr pack for her articles is because she is
  doing her last semester in college and doesnt have much time to write for me
  (about 5 per week for me at $5 per article -350word). So If I sell a plr pack of
  5 for $5 per pack and sell 20 of them, she can make $100 instead of $25 just from
  me. That's just writing 5 articles one time for a better profit. Or I'll do the 10 pack.
  
  I'll check out the WSO to sell them and may also build a site for fun.
  
  Again everyone...thanks so much for your help!!
  
  Thanks
