PLR Buyers - Limits or No?

by Doug Wakefield
8 replies
I have been really considering changing the format of my store from having no inventory limits to lowering the amount I sell per shot. With 35 packages available, it would be a little bit of work to change things over, so I want to get a little feedback first.

Would a lack of sales limits on a PLR pack break the sale?

How many licences would you have? I am leaning towards 100-150 if I go this route.

I've used EJunkie and JVZoo at different points, so tracking inventory wouldn't be too difficult. I know what has sold, so it would just be a matter of reflecting it on Ejunkie and setting up the sales pages with the number available.

    I don't purchase PLR all that often but, when I do, I always focus on those offers that provide limited copies.

    Yes, I do a rewrite of the material ... but I'm concerned, perhaps overly, that no amount of restructuring can erase the 'footprint' that hundreds (maybe thousands?) of other purchasers of your PLR will create by throwing their copy up all over the Internet.

    I certainly do not have any verifiable proof, but I would certainly argue in earnest that you would make more sells by limiting the amount of times one of your PLR packs can be sold.

    But, of course, I've been wrong before.

    PS. I think that the amount of copies you allot is directly in relation to your price point. The higher the price, the fewer amount to be sold (and vice versa).

      I like PLR (I re-write it of course) and if it is limited in quantity, then to me this adds to the perceived value and I will pay more for it.

      Having said that; if you were to sell 150 copies of unique PLR, that is written by you (or for you, with you owning all rights) then provided that you sold it with limited PLR, I would probably purchase.

      Just to qualify - the PLR would have to have contained in the license several provisions (just some suggestions):

      1. CAN NOT be sold as PLR (only you as the OP and author can do this).
      2. CAN NOT be given away in PLR format.
      3. CAN NOT be placed on a paid or free Membership Site in PLR format.
      4. CAN NOT be sold on auction sites (any format).
      5. CAN NOT claim copyright unless at least 55% of content is altered.
      6. CAN be converted to PDF and given away to build a mailing list.
      7. CAN be converted to PDF and sold with personal use rights.
      8. CAN be altered in any way; then sold with any rights except PLR.
      9. CAN be altered in any way; then given away with any rights except PLR.
      10. CAN put your name on as the author.
      11. CAN post on websites, use as reports, articles or create an ebook.
      12. CAN do anything not prohibited above.

      I'm sure that you can think of some others to retain the value for the purchasers.

      Just My Thoughts,

      Jeff.

        Limited quantity can do you good in more ways than one.

        Other than increasing the perceived value of your product, it forces you (somewhat) to come up with new stuff and prevent you from stagnating in complacency.

        Of course, that means a little more hard work on your part. But hey, because of the 'limited'-ness of your PLR, you can charge a little higher too.

    Yes a lack of limit would be a deterant to most folks who use PLR - its just as easy to write your own from scratch with the amount of time to rewrite in most cases with mass articles

    In my shop I do a mix of both. Especially with really hot topics that are popular now but may not be popular forever, or topics where information changes every six months, you will want to do limited quantities. Sometimes I do limited packs in really popular niches as well. I would say about 75% of my packs are not limited though, and they sell just fine.

    I have both in my shop. I'm actually leaning towards selling more unlimited packs especially on the evergreen stuff because it doesn't really seem to make much of a difference according to my buyer stats.

    Everyone always says that they prefer limited edition PLR but Tiffany Dow is probably the most successful PLR seller in the business and her stuff isn't limited. Doesn't seem to hurt her at all.

      That's what I've noticed too when selling PLR, Lee.

      It really makes no difference to my sales.

      Limiting the PLR just makes me have to pull a hot offer down and make less sales.

      I thought limiting PLR mattered because it mattered to ME, but it doesn't matter to others.

      Thinking I'm my market has caused me to lose a lot of money in general. lol
