Love, Life And Internet Marketing
I know you love the title – and you can thank me for the smile later. I’ve recently made connects with a super-innovative blogger over at ImWithJoe.com, and while reading through his posts I stumbled upon a great video he did describing private label rights and resale rights with some unique, but effective examples. You can check out his post and video here. While we’re on the topic, I want to introduce the newer bloggers and affiliates to private label rights products and how you can use them for article marketing, e-courses and various other content driven applications within your online ventures.
To put it plainly, PLR or Private Label Rights products are nothing more than e-books, articles and reports that you can purchase, manipulate, brand and use as your own. There are individuals who make a decent living authoring e-books and reports for licensing to other webmasters and Internet marketers – as well as licensing the right to sell those exact same rights to someone else, which is known as Master Resale Rights. I know it might sound confusing, so let me give you the definition of Private Label Rights and Master Resale Rights from our good friends at InternetMarketingDefinitions.com:
Private Label Rights – Content, particularly articles, written by a 3rd party and made available for several purchasers to buy and use. These articles can then be used as-is or edited as the purchaser desires – within the guidelines of the PLR company. Guidelines will differ with each company.
Master Resale Rights – If you have a product with “Master resale rights” this means you can resell the product and keep 100% of the profits. You cannot alter it in any way but it’s yours to sell as is.
While there are several high quality Private Label Rights portals and membership sites, make sure the content of the product is informative, and more importantly, up to date. There are so many dated sales pages and membership sites floating around the inter-web that you want to make sure if you are purchasing the license to use someone elses content for your websites – that the content is up to date and current. Another tip – it’s always good to use products that have a limited release, so you know the content you are using is only in the hands of a selected few.
Here are a few PLR sites you might want to consider:

I have to admit, I have cheated too and used PLR in the past. I know many bloggers who use PLR now. I did an email cource with some PLR contest I had. It worked perfect for what I needed it for.
I will have to check out those links you have, as they are different from the companies I have used in the past.
The only word of caution I have for anyone that is thinking about using PLR content is to make sure you re-work it! I have saw many bloggers slap up PLR content exactly how it comes! I only know that is what it is, becuase I have saw the same content on 10 other blogs.

Good stuff man! Glad you liked that post, and I agree, it’s a very good situation to get into. As long as you know how to use the stuff properly, plr and master resale stuff is great! You forgot one site bro
If I may…. http://imonabudget.com lol
Check it out, mixture of PLR and Master Resale Stuff monthly….
See what you think.
Your outline is good though, about how to properly pimp the plr man, too many think you can just throw it up the same way, but when others have the same stuff, you gotta make it different a lil bit….at least that’s how I see it!

@Tara – Exactly. It is vital that you rewrite and edit your PLR products (I have one of those words used at least once in each of the 9 points!) If you’d like to share some of the companies you’ve used, please let me know and I’ll update the list with your credit…

@Joe – My spam assassins stopped your post from coming through, I was like “Yo, ease up off Joe. That’s my man right there”
Great link (and even greater site matrix) who’s site is that? I like the format, gave me a ton of ideas as I’ve been digging through some cheap membership site concepts for the last month or so.

Wow, is that how so many bloggers are able to keep up with writing 1 (or even more) posts per day? Great idea for submitting PLRs to article directories.

@ T not sure, I guess it depends on the blog. For personal blogs, probably not so much, but for niche blog indeed! It helps.
You can get creative with it man.

Two point to add to Tara’s comment about re-writing PLR. 1. If you’re trying to rank at all, you’ll need to re-write it to avoid duplicate penalties, and 2. Most PLR is written very plainly specifically so that the purchaser can mold it to fit their image.
I’ve used a bit of PLR, but mostly I just know a lot of freelancers who also write PLR. Good post on its uses!

I’ve been hearing a lot of people who prefer the freelancer route than the membership or one-off way of acquiring PLR. It’s something I’d like to get more into for sure.
