How to Use PLR Articles to Create an Online Income

PLR can be a great source of income if you know how to work with it. I find that the articles give me a new point of view when the writer's block sets in. A quick rewrite from some PLR and I'm back on track.

Yes, article writing is a lot of work. There's no way around it, unless you outsource. One valuable aspect of article writing that people miss, is that it can be timeless. Once it's done, it's not going anywhere. It can take some time to get noticed, but it's out there and waiting. It's kind of neat to see a huge traffic increase and trace it back to an article that you wrote over a year ago that recently got some good press.

Ben,

If you use ppt presentations, keep them short. 5-6 slides can be a 1-2 minute video, depending on the content and transitions you use.

There are websites that convert powerpoint to flash for free.

Depending on how your model is setup, you could also do one or two more steps to add some serious links to your sites.

Below is a cut and paste from my basic marketing plan template that I use to pitch offline clients. But you will see how I utilize existing content as much as potentially possible.


OFF PAGE FACTORS


Link building 101

Submit site to active directory lists in order to receive back-links, this will take 6-12 weeks to have impact, but still useful for long-term effects.


Link building 102

Request links from niche specific sites if possible, time consuming but carry greater weight if they are in a edu, or .gov niche.


Link Building 103

Generate additional content that is published via the site/blog/other, where the content is linked back to sites under our control, as pages are ranked, not sites, these too can provide links and potential landing pages for people to visit.


Link Building 201

Article marketing – create content articles for the purpose of link building. these articles will be generally 300-600 word in length. Submit these articles to top 10-20 article directories. each article includes two links to our site in the bio section. Make sure this content actually answers a question and is useful to the community as a whole.



Link Building 202

Advanced method article marketing – rewritten content submitted to other less known article directories which in turn drive even more traffic. These articles are “spun” to represent unique content, thereby maintaining greater internet stickiness. Tons of sites with identical content has less effect then unique content.



Link Building 301

Audio / video linking - sites like YouTube are taking the internet by storm. Millions of visitors are hungry for new content on these sites.



Take content that presently exists, using either software or an actual audio recording, create the same articles into videos. Higher quality videos can be done if needed but not required, then send those audio and video files to audio and video specific directories. These directories allow for keyword additions to the video and link back to our website/s. A good video series can go viral and produce hundreds of thousands of hits in less then 24 hours.

• do not advertise, but instead provide valuable content services, with links back to the site.
  

Link Building 302

Press Releases - make sure that any and all press releases that are submitted include no less then 1 link and no more then three. Preferably two links in this manner.
1 http:// < link to your site >.tld
2 “some keyword phrase here” <- linked using html


This strategy covers two major aspects of link building. The first link allows for anyone reading the press release to actually know where the site is located, click the link and visit the site. Thereby driving considerable targeted traffic to our site.


The second link is for the search engines. Since each link is attached to a keyword phrase, the search engines will begin to rank us for those specific keywords. A press release will often stick around on the internet for some time, Also many of the sites that host Prs are of a high page rank. This give the link further weight in how effective the link will be.


Since PRs can be done over the long haul, this will mean long term visibility and linking for keywords that we need to continually update.


Not all content needs to be spun. For instance, if you create 6 copies, submit 5 to top places where you want unique content. Then create the sixth one as a full article. Then create a short ppt based on it. Submit that version to multiple article directories using a submitter program. Then take your ppt and convert to vide using free site or software, and distribute it via youtube and other video sites.

Try to get the most out of each article.

Simple & working! Great post Benjamin, thanks.

I understand all too well. I have 3 projects that I am working on right now specifically and have had to learn how to concentrate on just one at a time. FOCUS is a hard thing to do, but when you break it down it is:

F = Find a Project that will Move you Towards your Goal

O = Occupy yourself with nothing else until you finish the project

C = Concentrate on tasks that make up that single project

U = Understand that nothing else is more important

S = Succeed

I am not sure where I originally got this, but when I saw it I had to put it on my wall. I do my best to follow this and it has helped me a lot.

I will keep that in mind. I am pretty decent at writing. What I suck at is typing.
