What price should I charge for this PLR content?

I'm currently an article writer for individual clients. As much as I enjoy writing unique pieces for clients I would prefer to lessen the rinse and repeat nature of my work.

I'm considering building a PLR article store in addition to my current work.
I want to provide REAL value to the customers. The article niches will mainly be on loans, insurance, health/beauty, medical, legal, education etc.

Articles will be a mix of overall strong content and longtail keyword targeting of 3-5 word phrases.

I want to give the purchasers some form of security/value to their product and therefore only 20 units of each article pack (10 articles) will be sold. EVER.

How much do you think I should be charging for per lot of high quality 10 PLR niche targeted articles? (remembering buyers would be 1 of 20 to own the content)

    I would charge $12 dollars. But that's me.

    The current going rate for 10 article PLR packs is $7 to $30 depending on scarcity. Research current PLR sellers and see for yourself.

      Thanks, I have been researching PLR sellers and prices seem to vary wildly. There is no consistent structure. I have seen 1 article for $10 or 20 articles for $5. Nobody I've stumbled across yet has a sales limit guarantee like I suggested (only ever 20 units sold). I know they do exist as I've come across them before, but I haven't seen any sellers offering under that structure in a while.

      I don't want people to think I'm being lazy and not wanting to do the research. I just thoroughly believe in asking what people will pay, as well as looking at what others are charging.

      That is why I am asking opinions on what people will actually pay. What PLR sellers are asking for and what they are selling at is a different thing.

    Bump.. Are there any actual buyers of Limited PLR content out there that can give me a price of what you actually pay for articles? (not just what people are trying to charge)

    Thanks if anyone can respond, Pete.

      I buy PLR and I also sell my own.

      While I've bought both limited packs and unlimited, I care more about the quality than the limits, and price sometimes tells you a little about the quality. A pack of 50 articles selling for $5 is almost guaranteed to be garbage.

      On the other hand, most of the great PLR providers I've purchased from rarely charge more than $1 to $1.50 per page - limits or no limits. I think that's what people are coming to expect, unless there are a lot of other components to a pack. So, if you're adding graphics and ecovers and slides and screenshots, etc - then you can charge more.

      That doesn't mean that there aren't people out there willing to pay a lot more for an extremely limited release. I'm just not sure you'll find them on the WF, where PLR is normally heavily discounted.

      Also, the PLR providers I buy from that have limits usually have limits closer to 150-250 packs. I'm not sure how many of those packs actually sell out. Sometimes they just clean out their inventory at the end of the year and do a big sale.

      Personally, I think it's important to make any PLR you buy into something more unique. If I'm going to spend a little time editing an article anyway, why pay more for an extremely limited quantity?

      Anyway, that's my two cents!

    Limitations won't make a huge difference IMO. You'd be better off releasing 50 copies and selling 25 of them

    Thanks for all the replies. I've come to realise recently that limits are not what I thought they were, and a limit of only 20 will not boost the value as I thought it would. The fact is most people will be rewriting them anyway.

    Good message in the replies - Focus on quality not on quantity. As you probably gathered I am focused on quality anyway. I'm not interested in spinning trash and dime store sales.

    You could also go more of a premium route nd create a complete info package:

    sales letter
    squeeze page
    autoresponder emails
    ecover
    affiliate tools, etc...

    That way you could create different 'levels' of your offer and
    have certain limits for each level.

    Just throwing out some ideas

      Thanks Kim, they are a good list of value adding ideas. I don't however have experience in writing that type of content yet. Mainly articles, so I want to keep the content as high quality as I can to begin with.

      If it goes well I'll definitely consider branching out into different areas!

      Hi I've had a look at her PLR ATM page thank you. I also watched her video to go with it. Seems interesting enough, although from what I gathered her advice is about getting leads, traffic generation, building a PLR list and also how to generate content that's in demand.

      I reckon that can be picked up through independent research. It looks good but more of a beginners "let me take you by the hand" course.

    This is a helpful thread for me as well as I have PLR membership site launching soon so thanks! I have seen it many times where people limit the number of articles they sell but like was mentioned earlier up the thread, if I am going to edit the articles anyways who cares how many copies were sold.

    I feel like the only time you would worry about numbers is if you plan on pumping this stuff back out word for word all over the net which to me is NOT how you should use PLR and is mainly what gives it a bad name to begin with. Although limiting the numbers whether its the number of members to the site or number of copies sold can raise the perceived value a little bit, anybody that truly knows about PLR won't let that stop them from purchasing quality stuff to use a basis for their own ideas.

    I do think having limited numbers does add some value, not just monetary value but also value for money and can make your article packs more appealing to buyers than packs that aren't limited.

    I do think a limit of 20 is probably too low though and wouldn't make it worthwhile for you. I have lifted my limit to 75 as I felt that lower limits limited my income too much. It's a bit of a balancing game, you need to work out what is a good deal for your customers but will also give you a decent income.

    Personally, I charge $10 per pack of 10 articles ($1 per article). Sometimes I run deals as a WSO or give a deal to my subscribers at a cheaper price, but generally it's $1 per article.

      Thanks for the information. It seems unanimous amongst the industry that $1 per page is the standard rate.

      How long on average does it take for you (or anyone eles) to sell out of a PLR pack at say 50 copies limited? I'm just trying to get an idea of what different people's sales rate speeds are like.

      If people don't want to share the above information then sorry for being intrusive, I just want to know how slow/fast a turnover there is on PLR content (on average).

    I must admit I have only ever completely sold out of one article pack. Having said that, I have neglected my PLR business for a while now and haven't been doing much promotion at all.
