How do you explain PLR to clients??

Screw him.

Take a look at the following and be at peace.

As a matter of fact, use the search function and hunt down posts by Alexa Smith on the topic.

I've been thinking about this and what I've realized is we tout the word PLR but forget the last word licence.

Licensingpages® - What is Licensing?

It's something I need to read into so I can better explain myself (... if you say writer they always joke that I write romance or dirty novels).

The only other comparison I can think of is a little like white labelling. Lots of food and supplements are white labels.

Thanks for the great reads!

Wow this is timely! I had a similar altercation with a guy on another forum. In fact he's one of the owners.

I had asked for feedback on my squeeze page (in the appropriate forum of course) and he went into one about how much he hated PLR, it was all rubbish and how he would never sign up to my list (not that I ever asked him to) blah blah blah.

I kept my calm but firmly put him in his place and I've not heard a peep out of him since. I still post there with my head held high - I refuse to hide in the shadows, so he's just going to have to deal with having a PLR seller on his forum (unless he bans me because of my PLR association... but whatever lol). In fact, I'm going to a networking event next week that he co-runs - I'm relishing the thought of educating this fool in person.

If you don't like PLR because you've been burnt before, fair enough, I can respect your hesitancy to want to try it again. But to say ALL PLR is rubbish, when someone hasn't seen your work is just small minded ignorance as far as I'm concerned. Yes, it annoys the heck out of me when people diss my business model like this because I work damn hard and I'm passionate about what I do.

Don't let anyone knock your confidence. Believe in your business regardless of what others may think and put out the best quality you can.

All the best!

I tell them that they are written by newpaper editors and therefore used a lot. That is the reason to rewrite it so that they become unique.

He's a dumbass. Ignore him.

When you write something, you own it. You can license it however you want, and if you sell someone a PLR licence, he can use it however he sees fit.

PLR gives your customer the right to completely rework it and have something entirely unique. If he doesn't do that, then it's because he doesn't want to, and it's his fault - not yours.

It is not your job to say "I'm sorry, you are too stupid and lazy to buy my product." You have every right to take money from stupid people who will do stupid things with your product, and you are not responsible for the stupid things they do unless you told them to do that.
