Questions for PLR Rights users

by N4PGW

For those of you who make your living with PLR rights products:

Would you be ready and willing to pay more for a PLR product if you could get a short period of exclusive or nearly exclusive rights?

For example, if a new PLR product were ready to be released, what would you be willing to pay to have exclusive rights to it for 2-4 weeks before the release were open for sale to the public for $20.00?

What would it be worth knowing that for the first 30 days only 10 copies would be released?

Some authors restrict PLR products to a fixed number of copies and then they remove the product, supposedly forever. I have seen that number range from about 40 thru about 80 copies. Then, there are those who have no limit at all. Do you think they should be restricted, if so, to how many?

Finally, do you have a favored price range for the PLR products?

I would really love to hear the opinions of regular PLR users about these things.

Thank you.
Buck

    I would be willing to pay extra for a period of exclusivity, but I'd need to be pretty familiar with the content and quality of the report before I'd do it. I'm not sure how much extra I'd pay - that would depend a lot on the product - but it's something I'd consider.

    As for favored price range, under $10 if it's a seller I'm not familiar with or up to $30 for a seller/writer that I know does good content.

      Yo,

      I'm a huge user of PLR stuff...videos, audios, ebooks, software etc. In fact, my ventures with PLR alone have brought in close to 100K profit just this year alone.

      When it comes to PLR sellers and whether or not they should limit the number of licenses, it really depends on the kind of product and the quality the product is.

      Let's say I am selling the PLR rights to a stock trading system that is in the form of videos, in order to protect my clients, I would definitely restrict the rights to no more than 100-150.

      In terms of pricing, I wouldn't mind paying as much as $197.00 for a really superb quality PLR product.

      Regards

        Thank you, Brian,
        While I did place the $20 marker in the OP, I really left the definition of the product wide open.

        Thank you Sarah and Brian for your replies. Here is some more information for you and other readers.

        I am in the process of writing a secular (non-IM niche) book primarily for a large group of friends who are having a common problem. I am not sure how large the book will be, but I am guessing it will approach about 50 pages. Obviously, I think it will be the best book written on the topic, but it will be my first book ...

        Ok, folk, you can quit laughing, get off the floor and catch your breath now ...

        When I am done, I plan to give a copy to a few of my friends to use, but I am also trying to figure out how best to capitalize on it. I could create a retail product and market it myself, put it on clickbank or paydotcom and offer it to affiliates, I could make it brandable and create a resell product, or I could sell it as PLR (which would take the least amount of work.)

        I am considering the PLR route because I would not have to create the websites and graphics required for the other forms of marketing and I could start making income sooner. However, the income would come and go rather than become a steady stream of income.

        What are your thoughts on this.

          My thought on this is for you to spend less than $100 bucks, and get someone to create the graphics of an ebook cover and mini site that just needs a sales page - and put the whole package together as a PLR product.

          Please note: make sure the graphics you have put together for you can be distributed via PLR if you do this (ie if a stock photo is used in the mix).

          Spend some time down in the copywriting forums and make a simple sales letter to go with it.

          In some cases many marketers are looking for a complete package (salespage and graphics) to purchase. This allows them to immediately begin selling the product while they make the cosmetic changes required to truly make it their own product.

          You would probably be better off having some graphics done for about $100. There are several high quality graphics providers here in this forum that will provide a great set of graphics for that price and in some cases even a little cheaper.

          Respectfully,
          Tim

        Is that in the IM niche or are you finding some good value outside of that niche with various other topics?

        Also, are you selling this by building a list and gradually building up to the sell or are you sending traffic directly to your salespage/funnel?

          Hey Tim,

          I am doing that both within the IM niche and outside of it. And yes, I normally build up a list in the various niche products before launching it for sale.

    Thank you to everyone's answers. Tim and Jill hit a point that creates a new question.

    If I get the graphics and website, would I expect to do better adding branding and selling resell rights?

    Back to the graphics and website, if someone buys PLR rights, would they not be expected to change the graphics and website to be their personal product? If so, I might see the copy page, but why would they need graphics?

    maybe my mistake is believing what I read.

    Thanks
    Buck

      Buck, even with products that include graphics, mini-site and salespage, many people choose not to use them and have new ones created instead - just for the sake of having a product unique to them (assuming they alter the product too).

      By the way, even if you sell some licenses to your book, you can still make it into a unique product afterwards and market it yourself! I wanted to be sure to point that out because your initial post seemed to indicate you thought it had to be either/or. With all of the PLR packs I've sold in the past, I kept one license for myself. Some of those packs became products that I then sold via Paypal or Clickbank - some of them are still selling to this day. Some of them I reworked into an opt-in report or a free gift for my subscribers in that niche, etc. It's your work and you can absolutely keep one "license" for yourself and sell the other 9 (or however many you decide to offer).

      I think your overall idea of very limited licenses is good - it would just depend on how popular the topic is, how good the product is, and whether you can accurately convey that value to your buyers so they'll see it too.

      Hope that helps,

      Wendy
