Hey Warriors,
I am new to the PLR world and have yet to really even understand it and how to use it. I am looking to hire someone or have someone point me in the right direction on what PLR is. Can it be learned quickly within about a hours worth of my time? Or is it something that takes a big of investment and study such as PPC and awords.

Thanks for the support!

    Sean,

    PLR isn't something you study as much as a resource to grow your business. It stands for Private Label Rights and designates a product that comes with a license to modify, re-brand and resell as your own.

    Hope this helps.
    Alex.

    Ah see I had no idea what all this hype was on PLR's going around so much in the internet marketing world it is hard to grasp all of them. Are there recommended warriors anyone knows of that sells PLR content? I like to give back to the forum by ordering from other great members of this forum. Also any products that rewrite this content without doing it by hand?

    Sean,

    I am myself provider of PLR content and I manage a monthly membership, you can find more about my current offers through the links in my signature. Those audio products can be sold as stand-alone or complement very well other e-book or reports offer, as upsells or simply to add more value to your package.

    Another great resource for PLR products I would recommend is monthlycontent.com, the owner is also a warrior.

    As for rewriting, some people choose to outsource the work, some rewrite it by hand, but my favorite method is to print them out and then with the document in my hand, paraphrase the content and add my own notes and experience to make it mine as if in a conversation with myself, recording everything through a speech-to-text software (I use Dragon Naturally Speaking, but Windows Vista has a similar feature built in).

    Alex.

    PLR products (ebooks and stuff) are one thing. You may or
    may not have to rewrite it to come to a standard you are pleased
    with and have it reflect your ideas. Some of it, in the business
    arena, is written by people who are ignorant. It's good to check
    the facts and make sure you aren't selling outright crap that
    will hurt people, like quack health advice.

    The other issue with PLR is the salesletters that come with the
    products are all over the map. Some are just awful, some are
    better. In most cases improvements are in order if you want to
    sell info-products to people who aren't as dumb as cocoanuts.

    This is a little jaundiced.

    Generally with a PLR product you get a word doc source file for
    the ebook and a website to sell it. You upload the stuff to
    your server, edit the links for your own e-commerce system
    (I use DelAvo - there are many others that work fine for this
    too) - and start promoting.

    Did I mention? the copywriting on PLR salesletters is often...
    well, let's say it's usually written in a hurry, on the cheap.

    You can also break-out PLR content and feed it into blogs and
    your own ebooks and stuff like that.

    I've found rewriting and editing PLR to submit to EzineArticles
    to be more trouble than it is worth. Depends on your goals,
    but in many cases the thinking of PLR writers is insipid and you
    wouldn't want to put your name on it if you are branding yourself
    as a communicator - by the time you've rewritten it to reflect
    your higher standards it might have been faster to write from
    scratch.

    I had a couple beers. Letting it all hang out. PLR is cool if you're
    smart about how you use it. If you are undiscriminating you'll
    look like an idiot publishing everything you buy.

    Hi Sean,

    PLR is available everywhere, including the WSO thread in this forum.

    I think the question is how will you make use of your PLR.

    You must have a way to deal with it, manage it so that
    they wont be another cyber dust in your desktop.

    I have recently started leveraging PLR now (only
    quality ones) because I find that it is the same as
    engaging ghostwriters to write and package them.

    Getting PLR will be cheaper too.

    So how you can make use of PLR:
    1. split them up into smaller books as freebies to collect optins
    2. give them as freebies regularly to make your subscribers happy
    3. package them to sell them etc

    PLR comes in many forms such as:

    1. articles
    2. ebooks
    3. audios
    4. videos
    5. membershipsites
    6. business in a box

    Hope this helps. =)

    Cheers,
    John

      If you want to learn the right way to use PLR, John Rhodes has an
      excellent guide that covers everything...and I do mean EVERYTHING.

      John's a member of this forum so you might want to PM him for details.
