How Do I Change & Link PLR eBook...

by TylerC
13 replies
I'm a little confused as to how I make tweaks to a PLR eBook in PDF format, which I will offer after an email opt-in. Do I have to convert to Word, make adjustments and then convert back to PDF? I'm also confused on how to create a link connected to the PDF. Is there something I'm missing? Besides everything?

I'm using the free WP Email Capture, and know nothing about Adobe Reader.

Any help is appreciated.

    If you have it only in PDF... that's not likely to be PLR. All the text-based real PLR products I have seen were in some kind of document format that was editable: Word, OpenOffice, LibreOffice etc.

    Maybe you have only resell or master resale rights (MRR).

    Ahh! You are exactly right. Thank you. It is with Master Resell Rights. So I can not edit it at all? It has a "Thank you for the purchase, click here for more ebooks..." message page at the beginning.

    No. You are NOT allowed to modify the content of a MRR product. Did it come with terms (TOS) and/or clarification of rights? If yes, did you read it?

    Yes I understand the consequences. But I would not alter the text of the eBook itself, just the annoying marketing message at the beginning. I wouldn't mess with the artist's work. And I see that the only way to actually edit it is by buying a yearly Adobe subscription.

      You absolutely don't get it!
      If I give away or sell a PDF based ebook with the resell rights... I do it because I want my links to stay there. What you call the "annoying marketing message" - is exactly the reason why you are allowed to sell it = to distribute to as many people as possible, so that they come back to my site and buy more.

      If you don't get this simple marketing method - maybe you are in the wrong line of work

        You're implying that I don't understand the concept of a few links pointing back to a website of eBook reseller's, who naturally place a marketing message at the beginning of each of their distributed books. I get it. But I don't have to like it or even put up with a marketing message that in no way relates to the eBook I'm trying to get browser's to read, and I'm fairly sure there's nothing in the reseller's website that says I cannot remove that message.

        No one in their right mind would leave a choppy message up like that for potential customers. If I'm in the wrong line of work, then you are the nicest person I have ever encountered across the Interweb

          No, he's implying that you don't understand the concept of resale rights.

          You don't have to like it, but you do have to put up with it if you want to sell and profit from someone else's work, unless you're willing to risk facing a lawsuit.

          The reseller doesn't have to specify it - the terms of a MRR product are quite clear.

          If you don't want a marketing message, either buy and modify a PLR product or write your own.

      It's not nitpicky in the slightest. I have a bunch of resale right stuff out there right now, and weather you like the message or not. They are mine to test and track. That is the point.
      You get to make good money and set the price wherever you want. I get my message across(weather you like it or not). My product my test. Not your place to mess with it. I would also be the type of person to take action on it legally.

      Don't like it use a different product. That simple.

    The main difference between a PLR eBook and a MRR eBook, is that you're allowed to edit, change and add to the PLR eBook but you can't make any changes to the MRR eBook.

    So, if you plan on reselling a MRR eBook, you have to sell it as is... you can't make any changes to it. It doesn't matter how small of a change you want to make to the MRR eBook or even if you're convinced the changes will make the eBook better. You aren't allowed to make any changes to an eBook licensed under a Master Resell Rights license.

    If you want to make changes to an eBook before selling it, then it's better to buy an eBook that's licensed under a Private Label Rights license.

    Tyler.....the bottom line here is that you CANT change it. It's not about finding a way round what you have.

    My advice would be to search the forum for PLR products. There's plenty out there from as little as $2.00 a pop! You can edit all you like and come up with something your happy with in the long run.

    As for Adobe, you don't need it. Download OpenOffice. It's a free alternative to microsoft word but has the added bonus of a built in PDF converter.

    Simply open the text file copy of the PLR product you want to edit, and once finished you click the PDF button at the top and "BOOM" you have a nice PDF version ready to rock!

    Hope that helps buddy!

    Having established that it probably wouldn't be legal for you to do that, please excuse my mentioning something else highly relevant, in this context - even if it were entirely legal, it wouldn't be advisable, from your own perspective, anyway: sending out some MMR material, in exchange for people's email addresses, is missing a hugely important opportunity - and this is typically what determines whether you're going to end up with an opt-in rate of 85% or 15% for the emails you send after the "free report", from which you're doubtless planning to derive income.

    Building a successful business from a list depends on achieving and maintaining a high open-rate, and is hard work. But not as hard as trying to convince yourself later, when it's all gone wrong because you've used an existing MMR product, that "a 15% open-rate is normal in this industry" (as I've honestly seen some people trying to do!).

    The problem with "the MMR product", of course, isn't that it's necessarily going to be terribly poor quality (I dare some are high quality, anyway): it's all the personal and branding things not included in it which you need to be included in it, the links to your own site, the reassurances about what you do/don't promote, the explanation of what "affiliate links" are and how they work, the initiation of the specific continuity-process which ensures that your emails are awaited, expected and read, and all the things your income depends on.

    If it helps/interest you, here are the primary objectives that whatever you send out in exchange for the opt-in ought to be specifically designed and created to achieve: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7747655

    And this thread contains some general observations about list-building which may help you: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post6123982

    Good luck!
