Nicole Dean Answers Your PLR Questions
As promised, each Friday I have a guest blogger on Best of Both Worlds at Home. Today’s guest blogger Nicole Dean from EasyPLR.com will answer some of the common questions that bloggers ask about PLR or Private Label Rights articles.
*Welcome Nicole.*
Hi Tammy! Thanks for inviting me to come by and get a chance to get to know your readers.
*For those that are new to the concept, what is PLR?*
PLR or “Private Label Rights” articles were invented to make it easier and more profitable to be in online business. Any blogger or webmaster knows that you want to create a large amount of valuable information to keep your online business growing. It doesn’t matter whether you’re writing a Food Blog or are selling Beauty Supplies – you’ll want articles for your blog and also for your ezine or newsletters to offer fresh information to your customers on an ongoing basis.
The problem comes in creating it all. That’s where PLR comes in. PLR articles are written by professional writers and sold to multiple people. It’s kind of like splitting the costs of having them written for you. You get great content at a very affordable price (usually around $1/article). The great thing is that you can edit the articles to make them more in your voice, and use them in your home business.
*What is the best way to use PLR content to increase my affiliate income.*
The absolute most important thing you can have for your online business is an ezine, ecourse, or some kind of email mailing list of people who are interested in what you have to offer and say. PLR is one of the easiest ways to make that happen – and help grow your affiliate income at the same time.
You can use the PLR in several ways to achieve this:
1. Add the PLR articles to your blog as blog posts, tweak with some
of your own tips and ideas, and include a “call to action” at the
end of the article or advertisement for a product through your
affiliate link. Then, send the readers an email note telling them
about that blog post. OR
2. Include the article in your ezine and send it out to your readers.
Include the product recommendation in your email.
Each option has its benefits.
If I was sending an email with an article about food and cooking, I could interrupt with a sponsor ad like this…

Would you like to share your favorite recipes on a blog and get paid to do so?

And, I could include a call to action like this at the end:
If you love food and share recipes for free, why not get paid for it?
Be sure to check out my favorite resource to see how it works at Get Paid For Sharing Your Favorite .Recipes.
See? Of course, you’d want to make sure the affiliate products that you were promoting were totally related and relevant to the article that you’re sending – which should be only what people signed up to receive.
For instance, if you have a homeschooling list and they signed up to receive information about homeschooling, then by golly, don’t send them stuff about scuba diving – unless it’s an underwater homeschool project that you can do with your kiddos.
*Is it ok to “tweak” plr content to suit your needs?*
Absolutely. In fact, I highly recommend doing so. Add the following:
*
Personal stories.
*
Tips.
*
Examples.
*
Photos.
*
Lists – like this one.
*
Video.
*
Quotes from famous people.
*
Related Products.
*
Relevant News.
And, anything else that will make the PLR even meatier and more YOU!
*Will using PLR content hurt your search engine rating?*
Not at all. First of all, the sad truth is that most people that buy PLR articles do not ever use them, so there really isn’t as much competition out there are you might think.
Secondly, those that do use them, normally post the articles quickly and don’t do any search engine optimization or editing to make the articles unique. So, by doing those things, you’ll be head and shoulders ahead of the competition – and the search engines will still love you.
*What should you look for when deciding what PLR content to purchase?*
Unfortunately, there is a lot of junk PLR online. The things I recommend looking for are PLR sites that meet _all_ of these qualifications.
*
The site has been around for some time with a good reputation.
*
The owner is a respected name that you can find when you Google
him/her.
*
Visible contact information provided on the site.
*
The option of purchasing packages of PLR as opposed to being
locked into a monthly membership.
*
The ability to buy only the topics that you want, instead of
getting a huge package of recycled junk.
*
Preferably a site that sells limited quantities of the PLR. (Some
sites sell the same content to thousands of site and allow them to
do the same. NOT good.)
Be picky. It’s your money and it doesn’t do you any good to purchase articles that are so poorly written that you have to rewrite them completely in order to use them at all.
*Where can I find PLR that meets all of the standards above?*
You’re in luck. I started one of the most-respected and referred PLR sites on the internet back in 2006 and it’s still going strong. All of my articles are written by professional writers and then edited by a second writer. Both of my main writers are paid highly and have been working for me since 2007. Our PLR packs are sold in limited quantities and we always include extra bonuses with every pack.

I’ve been a fan of Nicole’s Easy PLR articles for quite some time and one thing I really like is that she puts 10 articles on the same topic together. I can take those articles, paste them into one document, add a title page, an intro and a few recommended resources and I have a 12 – 14 page report that I can then use to build a list. Works like a charm and perfect for affiliate marketing in just about any niche.
