Everybody is talking about private label rights articles or PLR articles for short. Why? Because it works! It’s a great form of leverage for content creation- especially for those who can’t write or don’t want to write.
If you are new to PLR articles, here’s a crash course for you. PLR is a type of articles that once you purchase, in the most part, you can do anything you want with PLR articles. You can edit or change them. You can rewrite them. You can combine or chop them. You can even claim authorship to the articles.
But having said that, what good do PLR articles do if they can’t make you money? Many of us have bought them but never put them to use… or worse we don’t know what to do.
If you have bought or going to buy PLR articles, here are 10 things you can do to make money from PLR articles.
1. Blogs – Use PLR articles for your blog. I do this when I have no time to crank out articles for my blog. Won’t you be penalized with duplicate content by the search engines? You ask? I don’t think so. It never happens to me. But to be safe, mix PLR articles with some original content. Attract traffic to your blog with carefully selected keywords. You can monetize your blog or website with Adsense, affiliate products, advertising placement, or even your own products.
2. Autoresponder messages – Another great use of PLR articles is to use them to follow up with your subscribers. Build trust by providing them with quality content through PLR articles. Not only can you build credibility, you can also promote some products in the messages in an indirect way by telling your list how your offers can help them.
3. Go audio – Turn PLR articles into audio programs by reading out loud the content from PLR articles. Oftentimes, audio programs fetch higher price than ebooks as the perceived value is higher. Better still, you can offer both the articles and audios.
4. Create a special report – This technique is very effective. This is what you do. Turn your PLR articles of the same topic into a report, say 12-20 pages. Use this report to promote your website, newsletter, product in the report. Give readers the rights to distribute the report. This is a great idea for viral marketing.
5. Create a niche mini site – Use PLR articles of the same topic to start a mini site. The main objective is to promote affiliate products to your visitors. Besides providing useful content, you can add one paragraph at the top of the page that promotes an affiliate product. You can do so by providing the benefits of the product in bullet form. Include a picture of the product if you want.
6. List building tool – By combining 5 PLR articles, you have created yourself a mini report or 5-day ecourse. Offer this report or ecourse in exchange of emails. Create an opt-in page for people who are interested in your report or ecourse. Those who want to read the report or ecourse have to sign up to get it. This is an excellent way of building your list from scratch. Once you capture the emails, you can follow up with them with other content or offers.
7. Create an article directory – It’s easier than you think to create an article directory. Firstly, download and install article directory software that manages and publishes your articles. You can get it free from ArticleDashborad.com. Once you have installed the software, post your PLR articles to the directory. There are many ways you can profit from the directory. Such as Adsense and promoting affiliate products.
8. Sell physical book – Not many have done this. But that does not mean you should not do it. You can combine and/or expand on PLR articles and publish a physical book. Not only have you created a new source of income, people also place higher regards on published authors and it’s a great branding tool. One great resource to help you get started is Lulu.com
9. Setup a membership site – Membership sites are great because they provide recurring income. The members pay you as long as they remain members. You only need to sell them once. One of the easiest ways to build content for your membership site is by using PLR articles. The next thing you need is a password protected site.
10. Flip websites for instant cash – Create a new content site with PLR articles (15 – 30 articles). You can use a website template or a blog for this purpose. Put it up for sale as a turnkey website in marketplaces like SitePoint or Digital Point. You can make instant cash with 1-2 day work. Your target market is those who are interested in Internet marketing.
