Feedback on PLR packages & topics for potential WSO

Thanks kenj,

that's a good idea. Though maybe I shouldn't make the price too crazy or else I won't get a really good read on how many people would buy the bigger set at a somewhat more reasonable price...

actually, I don't think I could make myself write a 50 article plr pack all on the same stuff. I was thinking more in line of different 10 packs...

Language niche? As in learning languages? Sounds good. I don't think I've ever seen a PLR offer on that.

P.S.: I love your sig!

I think you may be on to something with the former. I bought some weight loss PLR WSOs a couple weeks ago, and when I was buying, there were, if I remember right, about 5 different WSOs that were offering weight loss articles. I think I bought two, and the ones I bought were the ones that, from the WSO page, sounded like they would give me the best bang for the buck. One was strictly weight loss and the other, I think, had a variety of topics. And, since I have more than one site, I went with that one, as opposed to some of the other strictly weight loss offers.

If there are any specific areas of Twitter that you feel have not been addressed yet, in my book or in other people's books, PM me and let me know!

A while back I was thinking of doing PLR, I asked about it (on the old forum) and got a couple dozen responses as to what people were looking for specifically in PLR. The fact that this thread has been kind of quiet has me wondering, again, if the market for PLR is slow right now for some reason.

Let's just "attack" new writers (in a friendly way) wanting to write and sell PLR (whether that be here or somewhere outside the WF). You can be the greatest writer on this planet and still have a crappy WSO:

- the topic you've written about isn't of high interest (or sales are slow due to low mass interest)
- your sales copy is bad
- you don't understand your target market


The thing is unless you have someone else marketing your writing skills, you need to be just as much a marketer as you are a writer. There are currently approximately 1000 offers on the WSO board. Really, think about it. How in the heck can you stand out, from 1000 offers? What I'm trying to say is while it's equally important to select profitable PLR niches (which does NOT always equate to what a profitable niche would be in your mind), it's also equally important to know how to market your PLR successfully.

Let's just say you really are doing a "general" PLR package in the weight loss field. And also let's assume there are currently 10 other offers in the "general" weight loss field. What can YOUR offer do to be just a LITTLE better than the others? Can you offer additional content? Can you offer it in different mediums? Can you throw in extra graphics? Can you write persuasive copy and add some autoresponder courses? Can you provide keyword research data from a popular or reputable keyword tool? Can you supplement with additional PLR bonuses (even if it's 3rd party PLR)?

Think outside the box. What if you said the first ten buyers would get free rewrites of the articles in the PLR package? There's so much more you can do to make YOUR PLR packages stand out from the crowd (but first and foremost, the writing needs to be top notch to build repeat buyers).

And I have to disagree about the comments made (sorry was too lazy to multiquote) about PLR slowing down. Really think about this. Wouldn't PLR sales slowing down mean that people are weaning off of putting fresh content on their money sites? Come on that is nowhere near the truth.

I apologize in advance if I offend anyone - but if you have PLR in a mass-appealing niche (this includes drilled down niches), and sales are bad, then it's likely due to either POOR writing or POOR sales copy. More often than not, from offers that I look at, it's likely poor sales copy.


The other important lesson I learned awhile back, from personal experience, is do NOT create an offer that is NOT targeted. Meaning, I put together a WSO with 3 packages of 3 completely totally different niche topics. The packages were huge (ebook, keywords, autoresponder course, graphics etc.) and quality. Sales were BAD and I know for a fact that it's because I didn't attract the right people to view my sales copy. Why? Because I couldn't have a post title that explained all 3 niches, and people who would have been interested in any of the niches wouldn't even have known the PLR existed. I know for a fact this was the problem, because later on I changed methods and launched the offers individually. WSO titles specifically stated the niche, listed in short form the massive content, said the word LIMITED, and said the word PLR. Sales? Awesome, I sold out on all 3 niche packages (30 package limit on each). Very valuable lesson learned: TARGET TARGET TARGET. Plus, your WSO post title is extremely important. It's your ONE SHOT at getting someone to click on your post.

I haven't done any PLR article packages (I've focused mainly on ebooks in the past), but I wouldn't even consider doing a PLR article package unless the word counts for each article were at least 500 words. That's just personal preference, not based on market research or any statistical data of what buyers would prefer. Just thought I'd stick that in there.

Also, I think an important strategy when selling PLR is to make it blatantly obvious that it is LIMITED. I always put that in the WSO post title. Limited fresh content attracts buyers.

Here's a hint I just thought of. If you're considering writing PLR, go over to the WarriorPlus (sorry don't have url off the top of my head) site and search through past WSOs that have the word PLR in the post title. Study the ones that have been successful. Make a list of what the niches are. Make a list of points about each posts' sales copy and key things that you figure helped the sales.

One final thing (brain is going in overdrive here!)... always consider seasonal niches when coming up with PLR articles, they tend to move very fast. Halloween is coming up and I've hardly seen ANY PLR offers yet, even though people will be getting their halloween niche sites ready by now to get indexed etc. in time. Um halloween costumes are already out at the stores, how come the content isn't out yet in the WSO forum?? Somebody get moving! Disclaimer: I have no idea if the halloween niche is of enough mass appeal - was just an example. But on that note... I would bet my bottom dollar that Christmas niche topics will do well, and I'll probably do a couple article packs myself.

Fun fun!
