Hi Everyone I know a lot of folks don't have their own product and don't know how to create one. here is some quick tips that you can use immediately.

Go to google type in free plr.

grab yourself 3-4 ebooks centering around your niche of interest download them. Check the license to make sure you are in full rights to edit if it is plr usually this is the case.
Open the ebooks up go through them. rip apart pieces of each and paste them into a word document. now add your own thoughts to each sentence using the text as a guide make it flow

****Edit I wish to elaborate on this just a bit. when I say use it as a guide I mean just that use it as a guide but write your own information DO NOT just use the information in the product if you need to learn more on how to do it you can either google it or join us .

next add some graphics graphics can also be found in the plr site you go to make your new ebook look nice I create my own

Next convert your word document into a pdf using any free converter.

now.
your ebook is done.
now here is how you turn that 7-17.00 book into a course.
you take the ebook and as a guide you record the audio for this and add things in exapounsion regarding each topic in the book. for instance the book gives a bit of info on say traffic generation so you take what you know about traffic generation then go find other methods of traffic generation that work and add those into the audio recording hence the expounding of the topic now you have created a course within 1 day and now have a 47-67 dollar product instead of a 7-17 dollar ebook.

it really is not that hard and not that complicated to get into . once your done with the product download a few minisite templates use them as a guide insert some catchy text add an order button I would adivise altering the graphic if they are in psd format you can simply download gimp it is free and will edit psd files or even a free trial of image broadway by filestream.

download winrar if you don't have any unzip program use winrar to input the files of your product into either a zip or rar format upload everything to the server and whammo drive traffic to your own unique product
rinse and repeat test and try different things consider adding video etc once you have the base the sky is the limit.

  • Why would you go threw all that trouble creating a product of PLR re-hash stuff. Especially when you can just go to Flippa.com and buy a unique product and get the domain, graphics and just about everything else professional done for you.
    • [1] reply
    • It is because you need money to buy some site in flippa.com.
  • That is like saying why don' you learn programming so you can make your own.

    people just starting out generally don't have a ton of money to go spend nor do they even know of flippa in existence and that is not the way I would personally start
    there is 0 reason for your above comment. Why not tell everyone not to do anything?

    It is rehashed only if the subject and things within said product are the same with only graphics changed it is not doing it the way I mentioned it makes the product your own and unique.
    thank you though nice to see the other side of the coin too
    • [1] reply
    • So you are comparing, buying a site from flippa and learning various computer languages what takes months and a lot of effort to learn? How stupid is that... I have a HUGE problem with this thread, basically sickening to me, yeah lets go tell people to grab PLR and chuck it into a PDF, change a few words and hey presto, 60 dollars product. The internet is filled with enough sh*t, its crap like this which has given internet marketing a bad name... I suggest before you offer advice, make it something which has value.
  • He says add your own thoughts to EACH sentance. If you read a crap PLR book and went through it explaining the proper way to do all the things it mentions, you'd have a very, very different book. Very probably one far better, especially if you took the best bits of 4 books like he says and explain them properly.

    • Sure but it is still going to basically read the same, its rehashing an existing thing basically. With a few extra added thoughts but packaging something which cost a small amount or in some cases free and selling it for 60 odd bucks. So basically he puts down his thoughts on the key points which are already free or costs 10 bucks... Thats what I see wrong with it.

  • Hello Butters,
    Thank you for your response.
    I don't see why this would be upsetting to you but I suggest you get over it. there is an entire industry created around this and what I just provided is a very simple albeit very simple way to make a product within 1 day. I am sorry if you don't like that but at the same time you are not correct in what you say.
    The bad name IM gets has nothing to do with PLR it has to do with scammers liars and those willing taking advantage of others at all cost for the sake of a few dollars.

    I will not repent for offering sound advice on a simple technique if you think I am wrong why comment at all?
    -WD
    • [1] reply
    • The bad name IM also gets is by rehashing a product and just adding a extra bit to it, its nothing original, its nothing new, if someone has seen that PLR before and then buys the ebook, they are basically getting the same read. Why would I comment on something which I think is wrong? Simple, because I think it is wrong...
  • Hello Butters. Your personal opinion is missing the important ingredient. you have not understood the plan.

    I do not say to use the information I say to use it as a guide and write your own thoughts then get some graphics and then sell it. yes it is a little thing called making money . there is a multibillion dollar industry you are standing in front of saying your wrong.
    how on earth does that make any sense and why try and make it out to be a negative thing . the object is to get people making their own and eventually that turns into writing their own. you are not making any sense and certainly not being very polite in your responses
    -WD
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • Yeah your right it is about making money, that the problem, its about make you money why people on the other end get screwed. I am not saying in all cases, I am sure some good things would come out of it. All what is being done is taking PLR and re writing it, I don't like it, sorry for being rude, wasn't meant to come across like that... Thats my view and that is it.
      • [1] reply
  • I think it all depends whether your using the PLR for inspiration or just changing the title.

    I see nothing wrong from getting ideas for your own product from anywhere you can. If a bit of PLR had a technique I hadnt mentioned I would certainly research the technique and write about it.

    I've seen PLR that is quite good, and some that is horrible. Usually the free PLR is awefull though in my experiance. LOL

    Knowledge is never bad though, as its always good to learn other methods even if you don't intend to use them.
  • Hi Colin,
    es your right. there is a ton of cr@p out there . very true. this is why it is important to have fresh content you can use some of the info if it flows and pertains but the most important thing is to have a product that is unique it is not unique if it is rehashed . plr is good if used correctly

    -WD
  • Hello Butters this seems to be turning into a debate. I will not debate this.

    This is not my opinion this is a proven formula I do not appreciate the inference it is ripping people off . That is complete hogwash.

    -WD
    • [1] reply
    • There are a lot of proven formulas out there, shame all of them aint in favor of the consumer. No worries, no need to debate this, I just wanted to put my view across.
  • I'm backing out of this one before the weapons come out LOL

    But you could use this technique to turn out rehashed crap, or distilled gold from multiple sources. It all depends how you do it.

    Consider that you distile four PLR ebooks down to 2000 words of pure gold. Now neither of the books alone offered all of this, so explain it in a way that tells any level of marketer exactly how to do these methods.

    I'm not saying use the 2000 words in anyway except as a check list for information it would be criminal not to include.

    Problem is one of you is talking about one way, and the other is taking about the other LOL Your arguing different arguements and both right. Think about it for a while.

  • Noting the changed headline. Was that necessary? Whether you agree or not, it is not a reason to hijack someone's headline. Don't know who did it, but please reconsider this in the future.
    • [1] reply
    • Actually Robin, only the OP can change the headline of a thread outside of
      the mods. So he must have changed it himself when he saw the attacks
      coming.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • You can also do your research in the library for instance on whatever subject you are wanting to create a product with and then write a very well done e book for instance. You could use any number of books as a guide also. There are many different free ways to do this. You don't have to use PLR material.
  • Oh Ops I did that actually and I requested it be closed it is not having a great impression and it is not a thing I figured would set anyone off it was a helpful thread but now no longer is
    -WD
  • Learned something new. Did not know only the OP could do that and WD just posted. Oh well, I thought it was helpful PLR tips.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • WD, why did you rename the thread to "Please Get Rid Of This Thread It Is Pointless"?

    One of the great things about open communities such as this one, is the "debate" factor.

    You gave tips on an idea and method that works for you, and others in disagreement post their views on it. It just makes for a more educated thread for any lurkers who may be looking into creating their own products via these methods, or just food for thought for anybody.

    Personally I liked your tips and maybe you could've communicated it in a better way, but I think what people missed is that WD's point was how you can use PLR along with other reseach to rip apart the best bits and pieces and create a completely "unique", quality product out of it.

    Ofcourse there will be those who will not want to do the work, think this method will be their million$break, copy/paste crap from a bunch of different PLRs, throw it on a free webpage, do no promotion whatsoever, and then call the prospect of internet marketing a GIMMICK and BS.

    There's not much that can be done about that. That happens in every industry, online and off.

    So, no need to feel bad about your insightful post WD.
    • [2] replies
    • I agree. PLR is hotly debated and you either love it or hate. I use it. Don't mind admitting it. Does not mean I never have an original thought of my own (do a search for me on ezine articles).
    • At the risk of having arrows thrown at me from the anti PLR crowd, I am
      going to throw my 2 cents into this.

      First of all, let me start out by saying that NONE of my products were created
      from PLR material.

      However...there is a use for PLR. Problem is, most people don't know HOW to
      use it and don't REALLY understand the purpose for getting PLR.

      The purpose is NOT to just take it, slap a new ecover on it and sell it. The
      purpose is to save you time on research.

      Research is the most time consuming part of the product creation process.
      It can take weeks, if not months. By getting good PLR material, you save
      yourself valuable time on research.

      Now, I'm not going to get into a debate on whether PLR material is any
      good or not. I know that a lot of it is CRAP. However, there are people
      out there who take pride in their PLR products and create material that is
      excellent. I can name names but I don't want this thread to turn into a
      promotion fest.

      Point is, well made PLR material can save a lot of research time.

      However, it can't end there.

      If you want your PLR product to be more than just rehashed crap, this
      is what should be done with it.

      The material should not only be completely rewritten for clarity, but it
      should also be turned into other formats.

      For example, and ebook on self help should also be turned into MP3s so
      that customers can listen to them on their MP3 players or whatever.
      This adds real perceived value to the product.

      Also, bonuses should be added to the product that also increase the
      value of the product itself. If these bonuses are also PLR products, then
      they too should also be totally rewritten for clarity and turned into other
      formats such as audio and video.

      The sales page should be totally redone as well as the ecover and any
      other graphics.

      This is the proper and responsible way to use PLR.

      Do most people do this? No, they don't, which is why PLR gets a bad rap.

      In purchasing PLR, you should do your research and see who has a good
      reputation. Don't just buy from anybody because you never know what
      you're going to get.

      Also, if you're smart, you won't turn your PLR product into another PLR
      product. You'll sell it as a main product OR as a list builder in order to sell
      other related products, which can either be other PLR products or products
      that YOU create down the road.

      There is a valid use for PLR. Problem is, most people are so irresponsible
      with it that it's almost a crime to allow the practice to go on. So I
      understand the opposition. They can only go by what they've seen.

      However, the smart product creator can turn that PLR into a gold mine
      not only in dollars and cents for him, but in a quality product for the
      consumer.

      Anyway, that's my 2 cents on the subject.

    • I agree with WD as far as the helpful bit is concerned.

      In life, things are evolving all the time - they largely become better as time passes.

      Taken as a whole, and not just viewing things from a narrow and personal perspective, if an information product is better than the last, ie. if it offers better value, then it's value speaks for itself, whatever common or widely-practised methods of the day are used to create that product.

      The reality is that this suggestion by WD is definitely both helpful and educational to countless people who are themselves warriors at heart.

  • Not bad.

    I have seen some crappy info products with a few great points hidden inside. If someone took all the good points and put them together, you would have a great product.

    I don't see anything wrong with this plan, if it's done the right way.

    The garbage comes from people being too lazy to compile all the good info together.
    • [1] reply
    • Hi Matt Yup I agree that is why I stress the fact of writing your own into it and using it as a guide it is just another part of business it requires work LOL

      I don't offer rights with my stuff so it remains what I create however I am sure people will be like they are and try and get around it maybe write a license or whatever. LOL people are so strange at times

  • Yeah I agree the rehashed graphical change stuff is just garbage I don't know how many products I bought that were just the exact same thing with different graphics it is very important to write as you say kevin with your own flavor plr for newbies wishing to start online with their own at least can use it as a guide.

    I love PLR Stuff but there is so much cr@p I see it is just overwhelming I teach my members product creation I mean i take it a bit further I show them how to turn stuff into software etc but the purpose of this thread was just to help those who don't have a clue as to how to start it does after all cost 0 dollars to start and is incredibly useful.

    Thanks for all the comments everyone
    • [2] replies
    • Here's something else you can do with PLR material that very few people
      think of doing.

      Take the product and break it up into articles. Turn the articles into
      videos.

      Find a product at Clickbank in that niche that's closely related to the topic.
      Give enough info in the articles and videos to make them useful, but not so
      much that the prospect doesn't have to make a purchase, just as if you
      were writing articles and creating videos on your own.

      From these articles and videos, direct these people to a review of the
      product...a real review...warts and all.

      The trust you will have gained will be enough to make quite a few sales
      IF the product you chose has a decent sales page and actually converts.

      PLR has so many uses, it's ridiculous.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • WD,

      I think you missed a great opportunity here. At the end of your tutorial you could have added: "Take a look at the quality of this ebook I just created using this method" and then offered us a glowing example.

      When I want to learn something I find someone who is already doing it well and then study and model them. I looked for an example of your work via the link in your sig but all I found was:

      IMO not the best use of the opportunity you created for yourself.

      Please tell me this doesn't involve converting ebooks or html into an .exe and choking the software directories with crap that is only considered 'software' due to a technicality.

  • Hello Butters.

    Wow having just started yourself you have found all the answers. that is awesome.

    However. If I own a computer store for example. Does that mean because I have no idea how to run a computer I should not have the power to make wealth using them or the software that comes along in that business?

    You don't make much sense at all Creating a product that you have a passion about seems to be something you don't understand. let me break this down very simply for you.

    1) you get the student doing something instead of just "learning"

    2)you get them understanding and reading and APPLYING what they are learning the incentive is they will have their very own product.

    3)it teaches patience perseverance and research techniques all at once

    4)it causes them to actually systemize their workload

    5)it gives them an understanding of exactly what product creation which is a process.

    6) this is big it gives them confidence in themselves once completed and causes excitement as they slowly watch it come together....

    7)obviously it gives them a product to bring to the marketplace and generate some income.

    You make 0 sense at all and I and the others who do this Know what we are talking about. your attitude will prevent you from succeeding at all you have got to stop thinking your right . everything that is done in the world does not require one person to know it all.

    All that is required to sell a product is the will and drive to do so. creating a product on the other hand causes much more then that and that is what winners are and do they stick to something they persevere and they kick @ss you have done 2 things in your comments.

    1) is you have offended me by being accusatory in your remarks as if I somehow were trying to mislead someone accusing me of offering something of no value. for that I forgave you and let it go it really did not make any difference to me but certainly gave me yet another lesson in human nature.

    2 it showed that when someone is adamant they will not follow a system they will soon realize the need to do so .

    See you miss the whole purpose of this and that is ok but don't presume to try and throw your ideas around like your right because quite simply you are not. there is an entire purpose to why a process should be followed on top of that fact it allows for one to actually offer something of value and make some money for themselves as a result. by then adding audio to it they increase the value and perceived value therby giving them a higher market value for the sale price.

    Thank you for your input I hope you better understand the purposes of my training lesson here but I will make 0 apologies for trying to help someone.Period.

  • Hmmm That is weird I clicked the link it comes up fine. hmm I will have to check it out in different browsers.
    ***Edit I write my own products though no need to use stuff I already know but some stuff I suppose is pretty standard information.

    I am not going to reveal how i turn certain things into software but it certainly is not that way . i mean you could just use a free ebook compiler for that exe style that is not really a software application and more often then not it has parts that don't work

    There are certain informations available you can turn into a useful product in a few minutes.
    that is all I will say about that

    Oh I just reread this comment. Nope not an opportunity thing I just changed my sig about 15 mins ago not really a great insinuation there

  • Great Ideas thrown around here... personally I liketo outsourse most of my work. Freelancer.com and guru.com are great places to get some labour done for 1/10th of the cost. Many businesses will literally FIGHT for your business, which means, you will likely get a much better price.

    FYI- I was priced by a North American company on a custom website, i got quoted for over 5K. I ended up paying $400 for it and it was done to specifications.
  • WD,

    This is the Warrior Forum my friend .

    Don't back down from your opinions unless you are proven wrong .

    Instead of getting upset and telling others they shouldn't answer a post , answer them back with the proof .

    You know I don't like PLR because it has bit me in the ass before . You still convinced me your plan could work.

    Suit up warrior and stand your ground.

  • tHIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY INTERESTING TRAIN WRECK---- I love it from several perspectivies. I like the brain fodder to be honest. It shows people are actually thinking.

    Not that some peope are thinking so well in my humble opinion but that, they think they are.

    Listen, PLR is nothing special to one person and is extremely EXCITING to another. Why is the answer to the question. LOL

    Look, listen, and learn. Is that not what you were taught in school? The school you went to had books correct? They were not brand new ones eery year? So I guess those were PLR--- I guess since the teachers used books that they read and someone else used, that PLR made you stupid----

    What is cr@p for one is gold for another. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Yet sometimes it is better to keep that opinion to yourself.

    When you teach someone how to do something, it does not mean that someone has not used that same "way" in the past. It does not mean that same "way" is good or bad. How would you know IF YOU have not used both ways?

    You need to think that sometimes using time tested stuff is good and sometimes it plain old sucks---- What you love I hate and what you hate I love. That is what makes us all different. It is why there are so many niches with so many people in each one of them.

    Just my two cents.... Now let the beatings continue until moral improves!!!!

  • WD,

    I have probably seen more PLR than many PLR authors on this site have written. I just lost a large HDD that had tens of GB of IM material I collected and well over 10 GB of just PLR articles. 1/2 of that was text files.

    I want to re-word what you said as I understand it. First of all, I am to find 3 different PLR articles on my niche and basically, thru cut and paste, merge them into one. Then I go thru the document and add or rewrite sentences so the content of the three documents flow together smoothly into one.

    I have seen a lot of rehashed PLR, but the chances of your document being mistaken as a duplicate of anything I had would be slim to none! I have read a great deal about how to edit PLR material and your plan is superior to anything I have seen to date.

    Now, for the first time, when it comes to the PLR articles, I feel I lost something of value when I lost the drive. (Easy come, easy go, and I suppose easy come-back as well.)

    When I read from the Gurus who actually post useful information, I pick out nuggets of golden information and put it in my "nugget basket" which is where your OP is going.

    I'll throw in a little nugget I found, in return.

    If you can't find PLR for the topic of interest, search the web and blogs about the topic. Then go to the first hit and copy either one headline or one sentence that relates to your niche. Do this for each site you find until you have a full pad. Now, arrange the topics and sort the sentences under each headline to which they relate. Finally, modify the sentences so they transition smoothly in the paragraph.

    Now you have a unique article or book about your niche.

    Before someone says anything, I know that using the dartboard approach to picking sentences or headlines will result in garbage, but remember, someone is selecting the headlines and sentences to go together. If that person has a basic grasp of their language's grammar, it can become a decent read worth paying for.

    Thank you!
  • I like the idea of using another book as a template.

    It's kind of like making a resume. If you've never done one before, would you try to figure out what information should be on it and where it should go and how it should be laid out? Absolutely not. I'd find a template, or use someone elses and put my own information in.

    I couldn't say whether or not our ebook on personal finance basics was done this way, as I'm not the product creation specialist on the team, but it sure is a good idea.

    I can say, however, that we have turned the product into a video course which is launching in Feb and we are all really excited about it. It's our first launch and it should be good.

    Great post, thanks for the help
  • Thank You everyone for the words. I am very very glad people are getting help out of this. it really is a simple plan but the results can literally explode your income. I hope you do more then learn but apply and succeed.

  • Good point Dennis,

    PLR only stands for the license private label rights. the content I produce you would never be able to know it was PLR because I don't use it. i use the info as a guide if some info compliments what I have to say I use it but even if you ripped apart different parts that made an incredibly useful product do it. selling it is just par for the course.
