subject: Using Plr Content: Don't Make These 3 Deadly Mistakes With Your Private Label Rights Articles [print this page] Private label rights, or PLR, is a special type of license granted to a piece of content. The content can be in any format, including ebooks, articles, videos, and audios, but most often is seen in written form. This license allows the purchaser to do anything he or she wants with the content, including making changes to it, using it in another format, as part of a larger package for sale, or - in the case of an ebook - to break it up into smaller articles. There are very few restrictions on how to use PLR content, but there are a few serious mistakes a lot of PLR buyers make.
Mistake number one: Buying poor quality PLR. This one's a biggie. Many people have been burned by shoddy PLR, and if it's the first PLR they've purchased, they may end up thinking it's all bad. Rest assured that just as you will find good content writers and bad content writers, you will also find both good and bad PLR. The trick is in knowing the difference.
How do you avoid this common mistake? Make sure when you buy PLR that you buy it from reputable sellers. Ask other people in your niche for recommendations. Ask around on Internet marketing forums. Most importantly, remember that old adage that says "You get what you pay for." It's as true for PLR as it is for used cars. If you're buying 10 articles and an ebook for a dollar, you're getting a dollar's worth of content, guaranteed.
Mistake number two: Using PLR content as is. Once you find good quality, well researched PLR in your niche, you might just be tempted to copy and paste it right onto your website. Stop! This is deadly behavior when dealing with PLR. Do you really want to have the same identical content as dozens or hundreds of other sites? That's not exactly going to earn you any bonus points with your readers. And it won't do your SEO any favors either.
Always rework your PLR. Reworking can be anything from moving paragraphs around to a complete word by word rewrite. Put as much or as little work into it as you think it warrants, but do something to it. The more you change PLR, the more unique it becomes, and the better your marketing will be.
Mistake number three: Failing to use PLR. How many ebooks and articles have you purchased that now sit on your hard drive and collect digital dust? If you're anything like most marketers, the number is pretty high. You paid for it, so why are you not using it? Time to dust it off and put it to use!
Gather all your PLR together and go through it piece by piece. Decide if you can use it, and if not, throw it away. There's no sense cluttering up your hard drive with things you'll never use. You'll probably discover quite a lot of PLR you didn't even know you had. Organize what's left into folders. Maybe you'll compile those 12 dog training articles into an ebook. Put them in a folder together. Maybe you'll split that home improvement ebook into a bunch of posts and build a niche blog. Put it in a folder with a note. Once you've got everything organized, you'll be in a much better position to put it to use.
