I've been selling a good amount of PLR, so I don't think it's too competitive yet. I think that PLR membership sites are the way to go. That way you can have a steady income and your clients will get a steady stream of content. I'm even a member of one myself and I love it!

Heh George,

Most marketers will pay for content because search engines reward uniqueness when it comes to content. Not to say there isn't a market for PLR, because as you have discovered there is a lot of PLR membership sites out there already. It all depends on what your need is regarding content. Do you just want to throw up content that is a re-hash of some PLR or do you really want to rank well by using original content?

Good luck to you.

There was a dot com bubble. There was a housing market bubble. There is now a dollar and debt bubble. But there ain't no stankin' PLR bubble.

Remember - you get what you pay for. Yes, there is a ton of free PLR. But like the health niche, which is what I do, misinformation is a dime a dozen. Or cheaper. Even if I had to rework an entire article, I would rather start with one from a writer I trust, rather than one from Granny Clampett's Annals of Backwoods Medicine.

I for one do not want to bother with PLR that is not written in very good English or that is not well researched. There's a lot of free crap out there, but it's made the rounds a million times and it's all over the place.

George,

On a more serious note, Suzanne is right. There are lots of PLR that's gotten more use than an old pair of baggy pants. There is a lot of competition, though, but each one of the better writers is unique. Like Suzanne's niche blogs with unique PLR content. There is room for every good provider, especially with a unique point of view.

There was an interesting WSO (certainly not the only one) on this topic
a few weeks ago.

The specific approach is selling the PLR articles from Tradebit as it has
a good reputation in the eyes of Google and your plr articles will appear
high on Google Search Results.

It sure needs some testing and tweaking, but seems like it is worth
trying.

i dont think plr dead at all. however, quality is much more important than it was a a few years back.

there was a time a few years ago when you just needed to have huge plr packages to make sales. now, you need quality, well though out content that is designed with the user in mind and not just your profits.

while you can never know how your plr content will be used, you goal should be to create it so that it is very close to ready to use "out of the box". the plr packages i buy now are not just collections of articles on a topic, but more well thought out content that is already organized into a series of autoresponder messages or content that is already designed to be packaged as an ebook (think a logical table of contents).

What I always say to people who post threads about the competition of PLR (which is a real concern, so it's good to do your research) is that you need to find your USP. Do things differently to other PLR sellers by providing different formats, or new spins on popular niche topics. Differentiate yourself and you'll have less competition AND the bonus of other PLR sellers promoting your stuff to their lists.

It does take time with PLR - it took me a while to get to the point I'm at and I can say that, for me, it's about building foundations with a good stock of PLR content and building a loyal subscriber base that will buy from you each time you release a new pack. It takes time to get there but every bit of work you do constantly builds on itself.

And in answer to the question of why anyone would pay - well before I started selling PLR (and still now for my niche sites) I would buy PLR. Let's just say I have a lot of free PLR on my computer but it usually saves a lot of time just to buy from a quality writer instead. Yes, I always rewrite my PLR, but it's SO much easier to rewrite something that's been well research and well written. I think most PLR buyers appreciate that fact.

PLR content is great (if it's written good) for cranking out new content and products quickly... basically, all the research is done for you, you have all the important information so you are saving yourself a time... that's why marketers love PLR content... but, if you are just entering PLR content, make sure to provide your customers with high quality content because that's what is important for succeeding in PLR business

George, don't let the free PLR put you off. Personally, if I am buying PLR I will rewrite but there is just some PLR I won't even bother rewriting. Good quality, well written PLR is much easier to rewrite than bad quality, crap PLR.

So even though there is a lot of free PLR out there, many people won't bother with it, they would prefer to buy good quality PLR that gives them a good basis to rewrite into their own unique article.

You can be very successful with UNIQUE quality PLR.

Don't try and sell the same stuff everyone else is. Create your own or have it created.

Hey guys, I appreciate the feedback. Tiff was right, Warrior IS the place to go! :-)

I believe there is more than enough room for someone
who wants to sell PLR products online.

Selling PLR products online wouldn't be for me...it just
seems like to much work.

Let me mentioned this...there is a known name Guru who
sells PLR products but the products on his membership
site, he gets from another PLR website.

So he doesn't have to create the content, ebook design, salesletters,
opt-in pages etc.

So i guess that could be a faster way to have PLR success.
Without all the other tasks.

To the OP...

I sell PLR content. And it does ok.

Why? Because I have niched it down and cater to a specific market.

If you want to just resell everything to everyone, then you're in for a huge challenge.

On the other hand, there are a few people who have carved out a great business by catering to a specific market.

Bottom line: You have to find a way to differentiate yourself. Do that and provide quality... and you will succeed.

Best,

Sal

Can somebody tell me how best to remake a PLR material, giving a different name and re-recording the videos. I went to freelancer and the guy I hired seems to be asking one question after the other. I will appreciate any precise step by step explanation of how to go about this.

The main issue that I see when people start selling PLR products is that they are literally trying to get their hands on every product they can and resell it to every person they can. There are already enough websites doing that and generally I see people searching for niched PLR products. If you break up your PLR products into different membership websites then you can earn a recurring income from them and attract more people by targeting the different niches.

If you don't have the money to start multiple sites you could even use different subdomains like health.membersite.com and seo.membersite.com for the different niches. You just have to make sure that you put quality before quantity. Nobody wants to pay for PLR products that are years old, outdated, and weren't quality products even when they were first released.

There are also a lot of WSO's posted (none of mine btw) that can teach you how to run a membership website using PLR products. Here are a couple that look good from taking a glance at the reviews:

With PLR, the 2nd customer has already wasted his money. It doesn't matter how "good" it is because it loses its value the minute it shows up on Bob's, Mary's, and Joe's website. All customers who finally wise up to the PLR strategy, in fact, lose respect for the industry and avoid it in the future (like many of us here have).

So instead of setting yourself up for the ass-end of buyer's remorse, why not license out your content like professional writers do. Get an account at Constant Content if you don't want to go it alone. Or just read over the site to see how their writers earn money via paid and restricted licensing. If you do want to go it alone, then write something and solicit magazines, newspapers, whatever.

Via licensing, you maintain control over the content, you remain the content's author, AND, you get paid while doing it.

Having to pay for it generally also means that it will be less crappy lol. That's why IMers do pay for it

You'll make good money providing unique content to website owners as long as you don't go and sell tons of licenses. Maybe sell 5 per article or something. True, there is a ton of free PLR out there, but I would never used that (nor would most other experienced marketers) because there are probably thousands of others using the same content.

Panda. Panda. We're all tired of hearing about Panda, but if you want to rank in Google, you need relevant, unique content. And, if what most people mention is true, you need to have fairly recent content. No more putting up 10 blog posts and letting a blog sit around, you need to put something new out there once in a while.

So there's a market for PLR. There's a market for well written PLR too. If you can provide affordable, well written PLR that's not crap, you'll make sales. It might take a while, but you'll make sales.

The folks who use nothing but spinners and free plr, and turn out non human readable items are not going to buy your PLR. Doesn't matter how cheap it is, or how good it is, if they have to pay, they won't bother. But they're not the market you're going for.

I would say it's all about WHO you are selling to.

If you have a list of trusting subscribers that you have built over
years, that have bought products from you and take your advice regularly,
Then those people will buy PLR products and packages for sure.
Easy Sell.
If you try to use PPV or something to get hits on a page,
with total strangers with popups they didn't want in the first
place....
I'm afraid your PLR package won't convert very well....
or at all.
So it's all about WHO you are selling to, and how much they trust you.

I find that loyal subscribers are buying plenty of PLR right now,
it's not dead.

It's all a matter of building trust first, and showing them you're not
out to screw them over, and provide no customer support.

Give them support, and they will warm up to you enough to buy
more of your products from you than just one.

Judging by the amount of PLR products that are being sold in the WF special offers section, PLR is alive and well.
A word of warning though, if you wish to use PLR to sell on, then you must change the content, site graphics and tweak the sales page too, that way you have a brand new product ready to launch.

I think PLR is good as long as you rewrite. A lot marketers still need to buy content in order to rank in google but the key here is make sure that the PLR you're selling is not that old.

It wouldn't come as a surprise if the PLR bubble does burst, the search engines will surely take notice of many of the same articles being spun to death, and start amending their duplicate content algorithm

As of this morning... I can confirm that the PLR bubble is expanding is nowhere near maximum expansion levels.
