Make Your PLR Material Unique
Do you use PLR material?
PLR stands for private label rights. That means you can put your own name on the article, or ebook, and get the benefit of it.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Somebody else does the work and you get the credit - and sales. But there are some pitfalls for the unwary. I’ve written a guest blog at Frank Haywood’s blog addressing the whole question and showing a technique for overcoming a couple of the pitfalls. I won’t repeat it all here because you can read it in full on Frank’s blog.
To show you exactly how easy it is to follow the technique I’ve created a short video which you can watch here. I worked slowly on the video so you can see everything.Using this technique you can make your plr material unique.
If I’d just been doing this for real it would have taken far less than 4 minutes. You’ll understand what I mean when you’ve seen the whole video, but please read the article first! You won’t get the video until you’ve read my article over at www.frankhaywood.com
UPDATED 20 July 2008: I read some of the comments on my guest blog post. One of them said it all for me. I’ve repeated part of it here, but you need to read the full post and comments to get it in context.
I’ve always thought that editing plr you should do it al at once, hence I’ve never touched any of my plr.
That is exactly why I have suggested a technique for overcoming that problem. Read the guest post and you’ll see what I mean.
Like your site some very useful information

But, you do need to make sure you start out with high-quality PLR in the first place. I’ve seen some pretty bad PLR out there, but there are also good PLR sites to be found.

Hi LShep
You’re 100% correct. Poor quality PLR material is certainly harder to edit than good quality material.
Of course, I think you probably know that the vast majority of people don’t even use the PLR material they buy and of the ones who use it only a few make any changes to it.
Of that few, only the smallest percentage actually make enough effort to turn the article into something that will reflect well on them.
That’s good news for everyone who actually takes ‘pen to paper’, as it were. There’s just so little competition that it’s possible to do really well. Your return on investment of time can be very high.

So I guess even though you buy PLR still need some imagination to put right words when you rewrite it. I guess much better to hire a someone that can create fresh and original article.

Hi Racquel
If you can find a good article writer it’s always easier than doing it yourself. The problem for most people is the cost. If you pay $7.50 for a 500 word article (about the going rate for a good article), then it will cost you $150 for just 20 articles.
For most people, paying that much on a regular basis may not be possible. Of course getting just a single article may be worthwhile, but usually it is better to have more content, rather than less.
This is where PLR makes it possible for large numbers of people. What you’re doing is trading a little sweat equity in return for the savings of not buying a unique article.
It’s scary to think of taking the money you earn online and giving it to someone else, but if you think about it the biggest businesses in the world do the same thing. They pay people to do the work. A business with 1 employee is unlikely to be able to do as much as a business with 10 employees.
And if you think about it, what you’re doing by outsourcing your articles is taking on an employee of sorts.
Anyone who starts to make decent money online should certainly consider paying someone else to do some of the work for them. Having your articles written, when you can afford it, is a good way to release your time to work on your online business and make it grow. Just make sure you get good quality articles, or you’ll still have to edit them anyway.
