German PLR - anybody interested?

I don't think the English-speaking market is saturated. Perhaps full of not-so-clever marketers, but not saturated.

Thanks for your kind words ;-)

You're right - of course I'll also intend to offer my PLR to German speaking IMs. Reason why I asked here: There's also a demand of IMs all over the world who want to get started with German pages. I've seen a lot of bad quality articles written by other freelancers (partly no native speakers). If you have a look at Freelancer.com, the rates are lousy: US $1 for 500 words?! Stop textploitation...!

And you're right concerning "just doing". Time to reduce my perfectness ;-)

But you could also profit from such PLR articles even if you don't speak fluently German. Many of my customers live in other countries, like the US, Italy, Romania, Turkey, China, and they only know some German words. Some of them want to expand their business (travelling company, mobile repair services, ...) and create according sites in German, others just do a broad business. They let the articles check by a proofreader and have a VA to put them online (I do this also for some sites).

So my question here was also a kind of hint that there could be a market that has been neglected yet ;-)

Hi Brad,

thanks for your info on the CPA offers; didn't know this yet (to be honest, I didn't care for CPA yet because I'm involved in other things ;-) )

looking forward to hear from you ;-)

btw: just bought your great report offered in this WSO ;-)

Thanks for sharing your experiences ;-)

I did such translations also for some customers, and I sometimes use such articles for my own sites. But there are some problems with just translating PLR:

• the translater should be a native
• the keywords don't fit if only translated, so the translator should also have some SEO knowledge
• the tone and style of a foreign language document don't fit the German ones (it's a difference between word by word translation and a rewritten, adapted translation). Besides there are some differences between German language used in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (even I myself have often to look up such things when writing for Austrian or Switzerland customers)
• the documents don't always fit the German market (think of bankruptcy or other fnancial topics or of legal related things, cars, real estate and so on)
• esp. for Amazon product reviews, many of the products aren't available here or there are slightly changed or adapted products (think of electrical products or products with software)
• there could be even legal issues (e.g. in the health niche, if a remedy isn't available or is even forbidden in Germany, like steroids or certain sex pills and nutrition supplements, or in the gambling niche)

So these are things you could avoid with original German PLR.

And that's why I rarely seldom just translate PLR articles for my sites but rather use them as a basis for the structure and contents of my own articles. So I can at least benefit from the already researched information and use them for a research of information that would be useful for my readers.

Thanks for your input ;-)

I do offer PLR as well as premium content on main stream topics and in various niches like health, fitness, hobbies, etc, and the according subniches, and I seldom refuse a request. Though there are some topics I don't really prefer like gambling, brokerage or smart phone apps.

My PLR articles are of course also well researched, but if a customer requests premium content he can expect (and will get) deeper information. E.g. for the health niche (I have a deep medical background) I'll also research, check, interprete and compare medical studies. It's all a matter of price ;-)

LOL ;-)

Some weeks ago I happened to watch a video of a so called IM guru. In his video, he also showed a list of some TLDs including .de (for Germany), read this aloud and then wondered what it would be...

OK, but some others are already jumping on the train.

I'm already working on a small report to show why this would be a good idea and what should be taken into consideration by starting IM business in the German speaking market zones.

Thanks for sharing your ideas;-)

As stated in a previous post, I'd rather not translate existing PLR but completely rewrite it or better provide my customers with fresh content. So maybe this could be another plus for my work ;-)
