PLR vs Original

How can you tell the difference between the two, or is it just that PLR ebooks are old ideas?

    Well PLR products are one product that gets sold to everyone. So it's not particularly original (well, not at all!).

    Original content, on the other hand, would be your own work, and you would own the copyright thereof.

      Hi

      Your question is a little bit "apples vs oranges", in that PLR is just the rights that belong to a product. Therefore you could have original material that is being sold with PLR (Private Label Rights), allowing you to amend the original or just put your name as the creator.

      People who buy and edit PLR material may or may not sell on with PLR (it depends on the details of the PLR license that cames with the original). Therefore the resultant edited document could be sold as "original".

      I hope this helps/makes sense.

      All the best

    If you wanted to know if something was PLR on the internet, a good way could be to paste it into Copyscape.com and see if any results come up (of course it's not 100% foolproof, sometimes it won't show all results, and sometimes just because it has copies doesn't mean it's PLR). A lot of people do rewrite their PLR so the words are unique but the ideas are still the same.

    Private Label Rights are written by someone else that you can buy for your own use. Other people can buy the same content as you. To check if it's PLR copy and paste a sentence or two on google or any web browser. If you see several copies that's more likely PLR.

      PPLR Private Label Rights can include:

      [YES] Private use
      Learn from the materials but you can't do anything else with the content.

      [YES] Can be sold
      Sell the content as an ebook and keep the profit. Set up an affiliate program and your affiliates can sell the content as long as you remain in control of it. You have to provide the download link and collect the money and pay your affiliates. Or you can use a program such as Clickbank which collects the money and then pays you and the affiliate.

      [YES] Can be given away as an incentive
      Use the content as a freebie to motivate people to sign up for your list. Or just give it away.

      [YES] Can be packaged with other paid products
      If you have other materials on the same subject that you're selling, combine the content and sell it all together.

      [YES] Can be offered as a bonus with paid product
      Give the content as a bonus when you sell a product.

      [YES] Can Be submitted to article directories (follow their Terms of Service - TOS)
      If the article directory says the content has to be 100% written by you, or you have to have exclusive rights to the content, you can't submit PLR content. You can rewrite it to fit their TOS.
