Private Label Rights products (PLR) are everywhere. Most are used for three simple things: list building, selling, and articles. Though these are three very good and common uses there are plenty more. Most people talk about the general uses of PLR but never go deep down into it. So I decided to write a detailed article of the top 10 best uses of PLR products.
Starting with the #10 spot, going to the best use. I won’t go into step-by-step instructions for how to do each one because each step is a huge long topic of it’s own. I will though provide as much information as I can in this one article. You’ll see why each idea is good and what exactly you can do with it. First up, #10.
#10) Buy & Hold:
Just like the real estate concept, the idea here is to buy PLR and keep it. This will not profit you right here and now; this is a longer term strategy. You keep PLR for many many reasons. One great reason is to sell it off in as a PLR pack later and thus giving yourself some passive income. Plus it’s fun to keep a bunch of PLR, after a while you’ll have a huge collection with potentially unlimited knowledge resources.
The main goal with Buy & Hold would be to keep the PLR in packs, then selling off those packs for residual income. Go on Google and search for “PLR Megapack”, you will find plenty of results of people doing this exact same thing. If they are doing it, why not you since it cost you nothing extra to put the PLR you already have into groups.
#9) Combining PLR
Having one PLR product is great, having two must be even better. If you have PLR’s from similar topics why not combine them into one brand new unique product! This won’t take much work since you already have all the content, all you have to do is fit it all together.
If you have several PLR articles about, lets say, search engine optimization you can combine them to create your own e-book “My New SEO Book 2010″. This won’t take much work. You’ll just have to copy and paste the article together.
You can also combine PLR to create “collections” of poems, article and just about anything else. Many people like to have collections since they are organized by topic and easy to reference.
#8) PLR inside your own product
Are you writing your own book and just need extra content? Use PLR! You can easily incorporate parts of any PLR into your own work. This way you have some extra meat in your book.
If you don’t have a ebook and have video instead, that is even better. You can use a PLR ebook for extra training. Other PLR videos can be use to grow your video training library and even incorporate parts of videos into your own so that you do not have to record anything extra.
There are no legal limits on how you can incorporate a PLR into your own product. Feel free to use PLR articles are extra chapters, extra training material or even as “extra recommended reading material.”
#7) Break writers block
Ever have that moment when you’re writing and then BAM! You’re stuck. No matter what you cannot think of the next line! Try reading a PLR product. There is bound to be a PLR in that exact subject you are trying to write about. So use that PLR to help move your ideas along. Though not recommended, you can even use the PLR copy in to fuel your article.
If you have severe writers block, try rewriting the PLR into your own words. That is bound to get your brain juices flowing. Once you rewrite the PLR, or parts of it, it’s now in your own words … so feel free to use that in your article.
#6) Make a PLR to sell as a PLR
Why not make a PLR product? That’s easy sales. You can even just slap your own articles together, make a PDF out of it call it an e-book and BOOM! You have a PLR product ready. Just remember to include all the required items for whatever PLR type you are creating.
If you are making a plr article, all you need is a PDF version, word count and a editable version. If you are making an e-book, you should probably have a full mine-site included with the PDF and .doc (or .txt) versions of the book.
#5) Split up the PLR product into smaller articles or posts
This is a well known idea. What you do here is take a PLR article or e-book and separate it into parts. You can use these parts in your articles and create blog posts. If you’re ever really short on content you can always trust a PLR to have extra content for you.
#4) Newsletter e-course
Splitting a PLR e-book is easy, and it’s just as easy then to use those parts are training courses in your newsletters. Nothing creates loyalty on your newsletters like extra ‘free’ content. Using a PLR product for that not only saves you time, but it can and will create extra sales. This e-course can be offered as a ‘sample’ of the full e-course.
So once you offer these short e-courses for free in your newsletter, you can start pointing readers to the full product to buy.
#3) List Building
It’s easy to give away a e-book. All you have to do then is ‘lock’ the e-book in-order to build your list. To unlock your e-book the read will have to sign up for your mailing list in-order to receive their unlock code. Once it’s unlocked it’s unlocked forever.
Once locked, you put your e-book up on high traffic sources. You can put it up on Upload.com, newsgroups, torrents and even forums. Give it away anywhere and everywhere.
#2) Opt-in bribe
Got an opt-in page? Great! Do you have a reason for them to join? Yes, Great! But do you also REALLY give them a reason to join: a bribe. A opt-in bribe is what you use (a e-book, a article, a special report) to get people to sign up by offering it to them for free. Many people will sign up just for the free report or e-book.
Though should make is something that relates to the website it’s on and to your list. Don’t bribe them with a cooking e-book when your newsletter list is about water skiing. Look on my page, on the top right you’ll see my newsletter optin box WITH a opt-in bribe: a free e-book on making money from blogging.
#1) Flipping PLR
Don’t have a product of your own to market? Perfect! You are at a prime spot in the business. Since you have no product, just pick one. Which one? Any one. Though I do recommend you pick a good one. So what does flipping a PLR mean? That means you take a PLR product and you resell it.
Of course you really should not resell it in the same way you bought it. To make the PLR actually sellable you need to do several things:
- Enchance the graphics, making it look better
- Redo the sales page to make it your own and better looking
- Redo the covers
- Redo the text to make it more proffesional and in your own words
There are several other things you should do, but that’s not the point of this article. What you need to do when you flip a plr is to just make is actually sellable as a stand alone product … which most PLR isn’t. You have to make it a really great product that will be unique and stand out from the rest. You can outsource all of this, it’s not hard and it’ll cost you only around $150 (or less).
This is the way to use PLR because it is the easiest to do and the most profitable. How easy? Extremely: You outsource all the work and it won’t cost you most than $200 – $400 to completely remake a PLR product. After it’s remade, just put it up on the web and easily sell if for $37, or what not. And that’s it. Easy profits. The easiest way to outsource everything to the search on the internet for “Flip PLR” and “miniwebsite design”. Companies from both should be able to handle anything you might require.
