PLR Concern

You do realize that it is your choice whether to put yourself as author? If you don't feel comfortable with it, then simply don't put an author's name on it.

The best solution would be to buy PLR that is in an area that you actually know something about so that you can read it over for accuracy.

I agree with Tina, you don't have to put your name to it if you don't feel comfortable. PLR is no different than resell rights in that respect, you can still use them and not put your name as author.

Depends how you use PLR like the above said, and also if the content was in fact written by an expert (which seems to be rare these days) then you don't need to worry about putting your name on it as long as they gave you the right to do so.

What the guys have said above was my initial thought too. But, there are many people who put their names on texts they don't write - including almost every celebrity autbiography you read - and we are generally familiar and comfortable with the approach.

Why do you have to put your name branded on the material in the first place? As Tina mentioned this is your own choice and many other people decide to use names they have personally created instead.

There are no ethical or legal issues here as it is PLR, PLR is created with the focus on giving rights to those who purchase the material as PLR.

I think you have just as much chance of PLR being written by a real expert as you do with reseller rights so I'm not sure why you feel that products with resale rights would be more accurate or better written and I wouldn't think using one over the other would be more "honest".

As mentioned above, you don't need to claim to be the expert at all in either case.

You don't have to name yourself as author of the content, it's a choice. I usually put "Presented by soandso.com" for reports and ebooks, and PLR articles are posted under whatever my blog ID is.

When you buy PLR, it should come with a license stating what you can and can't do with the PLR. Plus, you should always tweak or rewrite the PLR, at least changing it up a little. Most of the time, you don't HAVE to change the PLR, it's just a way to make it more unique.

Hope this helps......

Great I agree with Tina

When I use PLR, I often use it for subjects I already know something about, as Tina said. I definitely think it's up to you and your particular code of ethics whether you want to use it to present yourself as an "expert" on something you know nothing about. Personally that's not how I use it, I tend to rewrite it - at least a little - so it carries my own unique voice.

Maybe you should look at it from a different viewpoint and depending on what you are using the content for?

For example are you giving important advice on something such as health, or are you just providing fairly standard information on something like how to improve your golf swing.

You might want to be seen as an "expert" in both cases but the implications can be a lot different.

Hey all that matters is your income, I think, you must concentrate to market and advertise your products. Not like its original, created by me

always repurpose your PLR

I guess you need to be more concern about the quality of the product than the manner in which you create that product. All in all, people don't care how you got the content, the materials, they are more concern of whether your product can solve their problems.

Besides, PLR are that...Private Label Rights....It gives you the rights to do whatever you want with it...

I wouldn't worry about the "legal" aspects of using PLR. By purchasing a PLR product you and the person who created the PLR product enter into an agreement that you are both considered owners of that product and the original owners can't attack you for using their product.

As far as the "ethical" aspect of using PLR as long as your product delivers value equal to what you claim it covers than you aren't necessarily doing anything wrong. If you state that your product can help someone lose weight or help someone make money then your plr product better do that or you are teetering on the grounds of ethics.

And like other people said you don't have to claim that you personally wrote that e-book that you purchased from the PLR store. You do have the legal right to say that you wrote and designed the book but if you are worried about morals and ethics then don't claim that you wrote that e-book.
