PLR Content - anyone use it?

[Laurie Rogers]

I'm just curious to see how many people use PLR content? I have never used it, being a writer I've always kept my content original. However, since I offer ghost writing services, was considering doing a PLR pkg, but with limited amounts sold.

[Kenster]

I use PLR all the time, but mostly for supplemental material. I created a whole membership site using PLR material from a PLR membership I belonged to so I didn't have to pay on a per piece basis. Ended up investing about $100 total and sold the site in the five figure range! If you slice and dice and present in a good way, there's a lot of value.

Besides the above example, I only tend to use higher end, more expensive PLR content that has a limited distribution. I just picked up a package the other day for $30 and it's killer stuff...using it as supplemental material for an upcoming product I am doing.

But when using PLR, just be careful...a lot of the stuff out there is rubbish and you don't want to give your customers/followers/prospects rubbish! So always be sure to put work into making the PLR stuff look good and present well!

[Laurie Rogers]

I'm not going to use PLR, I am going to create some and sell it. I am a writer (and have wrote some things with Mike) so it's pretty easy for me to knock out content.

[Marvin Rivera]

Totally agree with Kenster, PLR can be really helpful just make sure to read through and actually make sure that It does contain good stuff, and not rubbish, you may also re-write it.

[Neil Robins]

We have a site selling PLR but we have had to be very selective and re-do what we sell as there is a vast quantity of product that should have never seen the light of day. However, there is a market for quality product.

Also,we have both free and paid products on how to best use PLR products.

I'm using PLR, but for sure edit it before upload to any website.
Please provide with more info as the vertical/niche you are about to write on - might be interest buying it.

There will be a site up for the content in a few days with niches, pricing etc.

Hi Laurie,

Make sure you make the license for your PLR products crystal clear. Some PLR products have unlimited rights and I make no changes to these products and put them on my CrazyDealsWeekly site and then the buyers can make the changes they want to the product before they sell it.

Some only allow the original buyer of the PLR product to have the PLR rights. PLR part of the license can't be passed on to another buyer of the product. And some only allow you to sell user rights. These I rewrite and put in my BestWayToStart site. The second illustration of the license will give your PLR products more value.

PLR is one way of creating a product...by combining the content (and rewrite it) from several PLR products for example. I've used PLR, but always rewrote it up to a certain point, coz I want people to read my words...my content. That's why I wouldn't outsource content creation either.

[Roan Akkermans]

I have used PLR too. But I make it my own. I learn from it and then make it my own content so that I can style use the content in the way I like to, in the way I write. I just simply use it as research material.

[Dan Schumann]

That's an awesome strategy - thanks for sharing!

[John Bair]

Yes, I do.. Its a quick and easy way to get up and running, but I normally hire a copywriter/web designer from Flippa to give it a fresh evergreen look & feel, then only keep or work with the ones that convert the best and dump the rest, lol! ;)

[Charles Kirkland]

I have made stupid amounts of money from PLR, but I would have the sales letter redone, and edit the product to give it my own twist. Have the images redone and rename everything. It takes time but it can be a huge payoff.

Thanks

Its Kay from VetsBills here (yes I'm a cartoon however my creators are internet marketeers who have generated millions in sales).

Yes we've used PLR before, it is a great way to add perceived value, however as Roan said the key is to make it your own. Don't just use it exactly as you receive it, take a few hours adding your personal touch to it. We use to operate in the IM world and sell SEO tutorials, web design tutorials and after time we found ourselves using PLR and rebranding it as our own. It worked a treat

Kenster, where do you normally find your higher end PLR? I've thought about using it to write some good bonus packages, especially on topics I know little about.

Many thanks, Felix

I use PLR but I read through the article then completely rewrite it making it my own also I double check for accuracy of that particular article to make sure what was wrote is accurate. I have learned a lot from reading and rewriting PLR content.
