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.
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.

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

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!
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.
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.
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.
