How Can You Tell "Garbage PLR" from "Decent PLR?"

I would suggest checking out reviews. Look for sites that are suggested by people you trust. Another great source (and no plug here I promise) is Warrior. There are many great PLR deals is WSO and the classified sections.

Most Warrior PLR is original writing too which is a bonus.

Pretty much "you get what you pay for".

All of the free PLR gets passed around so much that it is useless.

You could go out and look for PLR that you have to pay for and the more you have to pay the better the chances that the "riffraff" is kept out.

Of course digital PLR is not the only PLR out there.

You can sell your own label bottled water, vitamins, and other physical products under your name too.

IMO, the free stuff is mostly garbage and if you download enough of it, you'll have your hard drive full of the same articles just with different zip file names.

I look for PLR that has added value, like graphics (since I suck at graphics).

If someone can't put together a decent-looking site to sell PLR, I pretty much figure their content is garbage, too.

However, I find I use PLR articles as a starting point. I usually rewrite so they're about 50% original, then I spin them for more originality.

No readable PLR content is worthless if you do what you're supposed to and re-write it to make it your own. People who use it without actually changing it up do get diminishing results, because they're all competing with each other. I find the easiest way to do this is to change the format. If it's PLR e-books, break it apart and make an e-course. If it's PLR articles, compile and re-write them to make an e-book, and then script-ify and make an audio course. Those are just examples, but you get the idea.

To me, Garbage PLR is stuff that's not even re-writable because it's gibberish to begin with. Most of the time, it's hard to buy that kind directly, because the salesletters selling it are unreadable garbage too. At least in my experience.

Anything that comes up on Google search results has been passed around for years and barely edited at all, so it's basically the "same old s**t" that people have seen before.

If it's sold as a WSO on the other hand (where products have to be original), chances are the credibility is much higher.

I don't really trust reviews because many who get something for free will give a good review, even if it's crap. Unless I know the person giving the review or their reputation.
You really don't know what's good or not until you read it. Maybe reading a sample paragraph? Most should be happy to show a sample so you can see the style and grammar.

(btw-ru on metropolis?)

Good question and the next question is:

where do you find the quality PLR products...????

I see some quality PLR as wso from time to time...

You can basically tell by reading the first few sentences. There is a lot of bad PLR out there. A good strategy is using PLR as content for rewriting. You're able to get basically a unique article for really cheap this way.

I like to stick to buying PLR from the same sources and if I ever choose to get something from a new source, I try and find testimonials on the "writer" or the "membership" in general as opposed to basing my decision on the reviews of one specific product on a thread or a sales listing.

Tiffany Dow and Nicole Dean always have quality stuff.

And here's a thread with TONS of PLR Resources you should bookmark.

High-quality PLR articles are limited to a certain # of buyers. They are well-written, usually by a writer who is an expert in that particular area. The best PLR articles you will find are those that are written by a "real" writer who understands something about internet marketing.

Also, you can download my report that talks about uses for PLR and goes into "What is high-quality PLR." If you like it, you can rebrand it with your own links: Click here!

I'd beware of sites that sell you a membership but don't actually tell you exactly what kind of product you will be receiving each month. You may get a random niche product that is no use to your whatsoever.

I use Tiffany Dow's PLR shop.plrminimart.com

You can say there is no garbage PLR if you do what you're supposed to and rewrite it, but if you start with great PLR, you'll know that there is really garbage PLR out there, and plenty of it. A lot of it isn't interesting, isn't written by people that speak English well, isn't checked for spelling, etc.

I would never join a PLR membership. I want to buy only content that I need and not trust that a membership will provide what I need when I need it.

I am personally developing my own plr from scratch. There are some quality resources for PLR, but I agree with most here you need to change it up a little bit at least. So much of the same PLR makes the rounds very fast. I limit my Original PLR that I create myself.

The most important factor in terms of deciding "Quality PLR" is the intent of the seller (Besides commercial). If the seller is not providing a sample article then that should be sufficient to trip your garbage plr filters. Also, fixing the number of PLR copies to be sold, is another pointer that the seller actually cares for its customers. After all, selling 75 copies of a 10 pack articles will make it very difficult for everybody to rewrite it to qualify as "original content". Also make sure that you go through the PLR terms & conditions related to the product. Personally, I prefer NOT to provide resale rights to PLR buyers, so that they don't have to compete with another batch of customers on second tier.(Although some PLR sellers may differ on this point)

On warrior forum, PLR related WSO's are usually worth a look if the seller has a website (On his own domain). Past testimonials from related WSO's is another good indicator of quality.

I've sold several plr products in the WSO section with much success. I guess the fact that I limit the quantity sold to 30 (Or less), has played a huge role in my success.

Bhupinder

I think Colin is right. Even the free stuff, if you rewrite it and make it your own isn't necessarily garbage. Although using it as is would qualify as garbage. I guess it depends on whether or not you are able to rewrite it. I'm a writer so it's easy for me to say just rewrite it.

If you want no fuss plr seek out plr that has a limit to it. Like only 30 or 50 sold. Of course that comes with the higher price tag.

Typically many of the free PLR sites that come up on the first page of Google when you do a search contain a lot of crap. You only need to read through a few paragraphs of these ebooks to figure out it is filled with mindless, recycled crap and/or written by someone whose first language is not English. It is best to buy PLR from people who are reputable and have been in the PLR business for a while. Try to make sure it is not priced at a ridiculously low price like $1 or $2, because that sort of material is probably already worthless due to too many people picking it up and reusing it.

In every Market you will find good and bad products, That is the same for free PLR eBooks.

Interesting find and discussion here. At least, I am better informed about PLR now. I am always suspicious of PLR products and whether the content is good enough. Thx u.

You're welcome Jason!

Many people think it is easy to write PLR material and they have no idea how to research the topic to give good accurate information. This is why people like Tiff Dow creates excellent PLR because she is a good researcher and writer.

Good writers are just that, good writers whether they are being paid $$$$ of dollars to write for a client or to create PLR, they know and understand what is needed.

In these cases you will find quality PLR. But, many throw together some articles just because they have heard there is money to be made selling PLR.

The rights given also play a big part here. If someone says no more than 50 copies will be sold, and then gives unrestricted rights, you can assume a lot more than 50 people will end up with the source code.

Many of the bad PLR can come from wholesalers, who don't always care about the quality, they want to sell as many copies as possible.

Bev

I was thinking PLR was bad as well but after I have sold probably 50 dozens of a PLR wordpress plugin then finally realized there are good PLRs products especially they are useful ones. I was told information that if a PLR product is beyond 2 years aren't good at all.

So this judges what is a good and what is a bad PLR product. But of course sometimes don't know until you read the actual stuff because there are 10 thousand people on the net that aren't too shy to sell craps...

Hello,
I have turned garbage into gold,I have bought many plr where the author
just missed the mark and with a little tweaking I made it into a winner.
Lou

As others have suggested, make sure the PLR you're looking at gives you samples. What I would do beyond that is to copy and paste the first sentence or two of any given sample into Google and see how often it comes up.

I don't use PLR (writing and selling articles being my thing) but what you should really look for is good information. If the information in the article is good, then things like grammar and style can be taken care of with a rewrite. If the information is crap, as it so often is, you're just polishing a turd*.





*Which the Mythbusters proved you can do, but I still don't recommend.

Thanks for the kudos about the PLR Mini Mart (aka: ME) guys.

Also, for the ones giving tips like "you get what you pay for," stop telling people to bypass $1 PLR - that's what I charge and it's not bad quality. LOL. I just like the $1 pricetag for it.

Tiff

Tiff, I read the $1 price as those who sell 10,000 articles for $1 or a pack of 10 articles for $1 not $1 per article.

Bev

What the HELL is level 1?

I don't even WANT to know ... *shudders*
