How do you go about purchasing/getting your PLR?

by InternetSuccess001

Hi guys!

Wondering... how do you go about purchasing your PLR, specifically:

a) 'True' authentic sources (as opposed to someone reselling other PLR) (of course using tools like copyscape is an immediate way of doublechecking), but...
b) 'Quality' PLR (obviously samples is one way, do you use any other criteria?)

Before, never quite understood the benefit -- but now I am starting to see how it might be useful, and might almost go on a PLR 'buying' spree

But want to make sure it's done right... So what do you do to make sure you get the best quality PLR, and derive maximum benefit from it?

Thanks,

John

    I buy from people I've bought from before, and from those who come recommended by people I know and trust. As far as knowing whether it's rehashed PLR or fresh, I find price is a good indicator. Expect to pay around a dollar a page for fresh, and significantly less for the more "used and abused" stuff.

    Not sure how Copyscape can help you with this, though. You're bound to find copies of most PLR products out there somewhere.

    It's more a matter of trial and error, than anything else. Look for recommendations from others, preferably that you know would recognize the quality you are looking for.

    And then just try out different providers. When you find one that you like, keep going back. Chances are you will need to find several good sources because each of us tends to specialize in different areas or different types of PLR products.

    Some providers that I recommend would be Tiffany Dow, Nicole Dean, Lisa Copes, myself (hey, I had to, didn't I?) and Sheryl Polomka. There are others that I've found produce good quality work, too, but these are the ones that I've used the most.

      Thanks Tina and this is a good list and Tina is very good herself Peggy Baron and Ruth P are also good.

      I have bought cheap PLR before and rewritten it but some cheap PLR is just not even worth rewriting and really just a waste of money and space on your computer.

      Buy from a good trusted source and when you find someone you like keep using them. Oh and many PLR sellers have a 'request' box where you can request a topic - they can't always keep up with demand but it doesn't hurt to put in your request.

      Take care

        Here's my short list:

        > People I've come to know and trust.
        > People recommended by those in the first category.
        > I keep my eyes open for sample packs. These can turn me on to new sources.
        > I avoid membership-style sites that provide X number of articles, etc. on Y topics per month. Not because such services are bad, but they don't suit my purposes. I need to be able to handpick my subject matter.

        Tina, you had to. You would have been short-changing readers if you didn't...

    Tina and Cindy are right. To get high quality PLR, you'll need to pay for it. The free stuff is junk. I'd look for someone in the Warrior Forum with a solid reputation.

    Everyone is definitely right about getting what you pay for, but there are ways to use cheap alternatives. There is some decent stuff on tradebit, and while the free stuff usually stinks, you can always package a few together and edit it a bit to make it better. It all depends on if you want to spend more and get better PLR products right off the bat, or if you want to get it for free/cheap and put some work into it to make it better. Classic time vs money issue.

      That is true. And I don't mind rewriting poorly written stuff. My bigger concern is poorly researched stuff. I don't want to have to fact-check everything before I can use it, because that eats up all the time I'm saving by using PLR in the first place.

    It's the same with most things in life - you get what you pay for. If you are willing to pay a bit more, you can find some good quality PLR products. However, I would also concur with a previous post suggesting that collating some free PLR articles, placing them together and editing can create some good stuff if you are smart and give some attention to detail.

    Just remember that for best results (no matter where you get the PLR content from) you should actually USE the private label rights (imagine that) and make changes and improvements to the product and make it your own.

    It's a little more work, but it eliminates all of your competition right away.

    Wow, so this quality PLR writing is a woman thing then?

    Nothing wrong there, I'd get rid af all men. I'm sure that I could handle the rest. As long as they don't insist that I learn how to research and write quality PLR

    Long time ago I bought cheap PLR several times and then re-wrote it, and by the time I was finished, it cost me a lot more (my time is worth something, too) than what I would have spent buying quality stuff. Most people (me included) sell high quality PLR articles for about $1 per page -- think about how long it would take you personally to turn out a quality article -- that $1 per page for quality stuff is a bargain.

      This is so true! I've done that too - spent too much time re-writing bad PLR. It's easy to get in the mind set that "I've spent money on this, I WILL make it work."

      Thanks to Tiffany Dow's PLR ATM course, finding quality PLR will become easier and easier. As students of hers, we are building our businesses around creating top notch PLR at a great value. Keep an eye out for WSO's here - they are bound to start popping up soon as new writers build their inventories.

      Good luck to you. You'll be able to do good things with PLR!

        It's can be worth paying for your own custom articles if you really want them to be exclusive, at least for a while anyway.

        Don't think all "cheap PLR" is rubbish though.

        The service I've set up to help my membership only supplies good quality PLR and I've priced it low on the basis of selling multiple packs.

        I know this puts some people off but most don't want to pay $20 per article and then end up rewriting it anyway.

    You check that it's from a reputable source.
    You find samples of the material and check this for quality, whether it's articles or other forms of content then grammar, punctuation, things like this.
    Ease of use, flexibility is always a good bonus, such as different file format options and spinnable content.
    Lastly, check the TCs to ensure you can use the PLR for the things you want.

    When I'm looking for PLR, quality PLR that is, can't do anything with rubbish, I always turn to the same people: Tina Golden, Tiffany Dow, Ruth P. I'm always looking out for new people to add to the list, and I have noted down some names already mentioned in this thread.

    Once you have your quality PLR you need to make it your own, don't keep it as is 'cause, unfortunately, that's what most buyers will do when they use it. Make it your own, be unique and that will help maximize the results from using PLR.

      I've had better luck buying PLR from individuals rather than membership sites.

      I find that PLR available from membership sites is too widely distributed and the quality is all over the place. If I just need filler for Web 2.0 sites, I often use this type of PLR. But as content for my own websites, it's rarely good enough, even when rewritten.

      On the other hand, most of the PLR I've bought from individuals has been quite acceptable. I think people who put their name on their products are more likely to care about the quality because it reflects on them. I try to buy PLR that is sold in limited quantities but you can never really be sure how many people have the same articles.

      Personally, I expect PLR articles to be as good as unique articles, but most people don't share that expectation!

    Like most people, I get my PLR from people I know and trust. My top recommendation is Tiffany Dow.

    I suggest going with people you know and trust or people that have been recommended by others, OR checking the sample work offered by the PLR site. Reputable PLR sites will offer some sample work so you can see the writing style and type of content that can be expected. You may or may not have to opt in to receive the samples. Seeing for yourself is truly the best way to determine if the content will meet your specific needs.

    Besides writing style, the research is definitely important - all PLR content should be tweaked at least a little before it is used.
