Yes there is nothing wrong in putting your name as long as it is a quality product and you are proud to promote it

I use my own name because this is what I am branding. Myself. If you have a company then you would brand the PLR as a company. This is what PLR products are designed for so you can brand them as your own and repurpose

I think it`s better to put your real name on your products, sites and squeeze pages. That will increase your results from your advertising efforts as well as gain trust and credibility.

I agree with most, but you have 2 options here:

1 - You can rebrand them with your own name;

2 - You can rebrand them with a pen name;

Let's say you want to sell products in completely different industries like weight loss and trading for example. It would be a little weird for your visitors if you're marketing yourself as an expert in 2 completely different industries. So in that case, it could make sense to use a pen name on your WL products and another Pen name in your trading products. You can even use your real name in the industry you feel you're more likely to become an authority and a pen name in the other.

Thanks

Every piece of content that you distribute should include a way to brand your company. It goes without saying that the content should be of the highest quality and something you can be proud of.

My advice is:
- In most cases, use your own name or your company name ... unless you have already been branding everything under a pen name - then I would say to use the same pen name for everything.
- Change the PLR significantly so that no one can tell it is PLR. That means, at a minimum, a new ecover, a new title, a new introduction, new section or chapter headings, and new interior graphics. If you do these simple things, there is only a very remote chance anyone is going to know you used PLR.
- Be sure to "proofread" through the entire PLR. So many marketers don't do this - they don't even take the time to read what they are putting their name to. How lazy can you get?
- Be sure to link back to your main site in your PLR content regardless of what type of content it is.
Marketing is all about giving your prospects and customers what they want. It's not about what's best or easiest for you.

Good advice, in general.

There is an exception. It's quite possible to brand yourself as an expert in two widely disparate niches/markets (people here tend to use these terms interchangeably) if they're the right niches.

I've noticed that it's quite possible to be an expert in both a vocation and an avocation.

Take Tom Brokaw, for example.

Obviously an expert journalist, author and historian. Also a recognized expert in fly fishing. You already know him for doing the evening news for years, and his multiple books. You can also see him as the host of a fishing show called "Buccaneers and Bones", a show about saltwater fly fishing.

Anyone who is into fly fishing is ok by me

I fall in with John McCabe on this one - see his post above.

Take a look at Victor Pride and Mike Cernovich. They are bloggers, successful Internet Marketers, and one of them has a forum. They each specialize in both body building and making money online. Their avid followers don't think twice about the fact that they are experts in two fields; as a matter of fact, they eat it up. Should either one choose to add a 3rd area of authority, they have a built-in following eager to jump on board that boat, too!

It's up to you. Put your game plan together, and I mean really massage it, and your plan will tell you which path to follow. You'll feel it in your gut.

I've actually re-purposed PLR in the past but I did not just slap my name on it.

Granted, I used an alias but that's not the point; whether or not I used my real name (Daniel) I would have still re-purposed the PLR.

By re-purposing I mean I just used the general outline of the PLR product (it was an ebook) and re-wrote it so that it was even more concise and helpful to my audience as an opt-in bribe.

A lot of PLR material is full of "fluff" so it's best used to get a general outline of what your finished offer should look like; all the actual content should almost always be re-written.

Regards,
Daniel

Let's say if your product isn't good or you are feeling that it's not good enough, I would suggest you not to put your real name. But if you fee that your product is good, it's better to put your name, because this will be helpful in future, you will have good name.

If your product isn't good, or you don't think it's good enough, why are you putting it out at all?

Hi,

I always add my real name to my products. The idea is to use your real name so people get

to know and trust you, so you develop your own brand. I like to be as transparent and honest

as possible, otherwise how are people going to trust you?

Yeah, I started to post the same thing, John.

Unfortunately, the young man from Sweden is correct because it's done all the time. Otherwise we wouldn't need the FTC and the FDA.

'Cause they've read here, a bazillion times, that they need to take 'instant and massive action', and not wait for their product/other aspects to be 'perfect' - just get it out there. Further, in the end, as long as it sells without a lot of refunds, well, that is only real test for most marketers, not the actual quality of it or desire to be or not be associated with it. And let's not forget we are talking about PLR, here ...

People call them pen names. But they ain't Mark Twain. They are fake identities, and without using them, many affiliates would NOT have enjoyed the success they have had.

When in Rome, as they say. I piss and moan about it, but creating fake identities is part of the game. Not always, but good luck trying to get females to trust and buy beauty products from you if yer some goofy lookin' beestard and a dude. Plenty of examples like this where success DEPENDS upon hiding your true identity ...

While I don't write PLR, I do put my real name on all my writing projects. It's my brand. As long as it's my best and I'm proud of it, there's no reason to use a pen name.

The only time I'd use a pen name is if I were to start writing something way outside of the norm (for me). For example, if I were to write romance novels, I'd definitely use a pen name to create a separate brand from the commercial writing I do.

Thanks

Yes, because you want to be unique. More then likely people will use the same PLR in there marketing and you want to stand out from the rest.

Not putting its name is a lack of confidence. But you have to know the product and stand behind it. Mc D does not neither produce the potatoes for their fries. Everybody started once in some way. Have faith in what you undertake. Good luck.

Regarding putting out the name you have now 3 options: either you stick with your current name, you change your current name or you take a "marketing name" which is OK as well. Many people do that. Do not hesitate to contact me directly I'd be more than happy to help.

it all depend on your privacy values. Its maybe better for you too use your real details as said before you gain more credibility and more genuine branding. However if you want to keep your identity due to personal reasons, that is fine also.

I do think having your name or brand on any landing page is the way to go.

You want people to know who you are, that's the only way they will start trusting you.

Ideally, you want people to see your brand or name and think, "This guys stuff is good"

When I see pages without a name and brand, I'm far more likely to just close the page due to a lack of credibility.

I'm very shy by nature, so this is something I had to learn to overcome in the marketing world to really gain credibility of my readers and subscribers.
