Tips to Organize All That PLR Content

folderIf you’ve been working online for any amount of time, you’ve probably purchased private label rights content at some point or another. PLR is a great tool that helps website owners add quality content to their websites without having to hire a ghostwriter to write it all for them or spend countless hours writing all of their content from scratch.

If you’ve purchased your fair share of PLR and find that it’s taking up tons of space on your computer’s hard drive and you’re having a hard time determining what content you’ve used and where and which articles you still have available for use, you’ll be happy to know, you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon to becoming disorganized with your PLR, until now that is.

Here’s one way you can organize your PLR content so that you know what’s been used and what is still waiting to find it’s way to the spotlight of your website or newsletter.

First, organize all your PLR by either niche or website. If you own more than one website it might be best to use the later organization method. Move all the articles that you want to use on that website into the site’s folder. Within your website folder create two folders. The first labeled “Rewritten – Ready for Posting to site” and the second, “Used.”

By creating two separate folders you can move the articles to the “Rewritten” folder once you’ve reworked them and they are ready to be added to your blog or website. After you have added them to your site, simply cut and paste the article to the “Used” folder.

And don’t forget there are tons of ways to use the same article over and over. If you’re looking for PLR eCourses that you can use to teach others about the many uses of PLR, have a look at this ecourse over at EasyPLR.

What is PLR?

PLR stands for Private Label Rights.  What this means is that you can purchase the rights to sell and edit the product you are purchasing.  Most common PLR products are articles , blog posts, and ebooks but software, scripts, and web designs are becoming increasing popular as well.  You can claim the PLR product as your own without having to give the author credit.

One of the most popular ways to use PLR articles is to post the article on your blog.  If you do this however, I would suggest you edit the article and make it your own.  Rewrite the article to make it fit your blog niche and your voice.  I use PLR articles as blog post ideas but completely rewrite the article. Why?  It is a great jump starter for me when I can’t think of what to write.  I already have the data and research in the PLR articles, all I have to do is take the same information and reword it to my normal style of writing.  By rewriting the PLR article in to my own writing voice, my blog readers have no idea that I am using PLR, just that I am giving them great content.

Also when starting a new blog, PLR is a great way to get a lot of content quickly posted so that Google can start indexing your pages.  Again, I would suggest changing the PLR articles you use to your personal style of writing, even when starting a new blog.

PLR v. RR

Utilizing Private Label Rights (PLR) content is just one of the ways online business owners are increasing their sales. You can purchase PLR content and other products to use on your site, in your newsletters and more. Another way to make money is implementing the use of resell rights somewhere in your arsenal of tools.

It is important to know the difference between the abbreviations that are used in online business. PLR stands for Private Label Rights. These products make it easier for an online business to draw traffic to their site, create products and more. With PLR content, you can use it in the format that you purchased it or rewrite it and create a new product. All PLR content can be sold again by the purchaser, but there are almost always certain rules you should follow regarding exactly how you sell that content. You’ll have to check with each individual PLR site to find out what those rules are.

Many PLR users combine their PLR with other products to create something new for their customers. With quality content accompanying your offerings, you can make more money. The number of new products up for sale is now limited by only the creativity of your mind.

For more enterprising business owners, one option to consider is resell rights products. Resell Rights (RR) can be offered to buyers who are looking for ways to build a brand with a variety of new products. It is important to note that resell rights have a different set of rules than Private Label Rights. With Resell Rights, the buyer is able to resell the product with their name on it but cannot in any way alter the product. On this front, you make money by selling the same product you purchased and keeping the profit for yourself.

Here is another twist on the scenario. Purchase a Private Label Rights product and rewrite it to create a whole new product. With the new product, offer Resell Rights to it and you’ll find another avenue for free traffic. Your investment in the whole process was a small amount of money for the PLR product and a few hours to rewrite and create the new product. With a couple of sales, your modest work has paid for itself. By creating your own resell rights products your links stay put even if someone else is selling the product, which drives even more traffic to your site.

Both Private Label Rights and Resell Rights have a place in your online business. When you know the difference between the two you can effectively use them both to increase your visibility with other online businesses and customer sales.
