Before you buy another PLR ebook READ THIS

A couple months ago I got some PLR which I thought was a great package.

After a search yesterday, my analysis of it has been downgraded to just "ok."

I'm usually pretty good about searching out the product and seeing if it is being listed anywhere - and finding the lowest price. On my first tries, I didn't seem to come up with anything, but yesterday I did.

I went looking to see if I could spot the item being sold to see what others might be charging for it.

I was a bit upset to see it listed at Barnes and Noble - for only 2.99

This massively changes how I intend to use the content.

Also, there were some bonuses included with this content.

One was a list of links to particular services. I decided to click a few of those yesterday and found I'd be pulling my subscribers away from me if I included this list.

Not only should you edit PLR, but don't be afraid to go and search parts of it after you've purchased so you can see who else might be using it and what they're doing with it.

    This is a similar problem those reselling MRR or RR eBooks will run into. Selling the same or very similar eBook as others will lead at least a few resellers to compete on price.

    Which is probably why it's better to use PLR content (even PLR eBooks) only as a starting point and create something with even more value than what you started with. Or find uses for the content other than doing minor edits and then simply reselling it.

    With PLR you should always be doing your due diligence. When I first started I would just post PLR content to my sites in its ordered form. Now I rewrite it... in fact the only reason I buy PLR content is to save on research time--but even then, due diligence is required.

    Just MFO.

    I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again.

    This includes fact-checking. There is so much bad PLR floating around, offered by people who have no clue about their subject.

    Now suppose you publish this PLR content, either in original form or edited (but not fact-checked), complete with errors.

    At best, people who do have a clue will simply discount you as just another peddler with only your own interests at heart. At worst, in some niche markets, you could kill somebody.

    $2.99 can be a comparatively high price for this type of stuff. Usually, the idiot crowd drives the price down as far as possible. Next month check eBay for the penny listings. In two months it will be free in return for an email signup.

    Hello

    I often use PLR, and also search for it online to see what kind of prices are on offer before I purchase.

    I think the main thing about PLR content is to use it as a starting point to your content, and completely edit it and rewrite it into your own words.

    It is far easier to edit a PLR article than to stare at a blank notepad/word file.
