The Profit-Pulling Power of Private Label Rights
You hear it about it everywhere:
PLR content, short for private label rights. Here’s the scoop…
Private label rights content refers to text, audio, or video content that you can modify to suit your needs.
Indeed, this generally includes putting your name as the author or creator.
You can then use the content in a variety of ways (as long as you stay within the PLR license terms), such as by distributing it as a means of driving traffic to your site, using it as a bonus to get people to buy your products or join your mailing list, or even creating paid products from it.
So what’s the big deal?
Why not just create the content yourself or hire someone else to create it for you?
Read on for five reasons why you should start using PLR to grow your business…
Reason #1: PLR content saves you time. You get an idea for ebook writing. So you spend a few days if not weeks researching and writing it.
Now imagine if you use PLR content instead – you can tweak it to suit your needs in a matter of hours, meaning your product is ready to go almost instantly.
Reason #2: PLR content saves you money. Maybe you entrust your content creation to a good ghostwriter.
In that case, PLR content can save you thousands of dollars per year.
Even if you hire a ghostwriter to tweak the content, that’s a huge saving over having this same ghostwriter create your content from scratch.
Reason #3: PLR content is extremely flexible. The first thing you need to do is read the license terms that come with your PLR content, as your flexibility is only limited to these terms.
But generally, you’ll find that PLR content is extremely flexible, meaning you can do things such as:
- Modifying the content.
- Putting your name as the author.
- Giving it away.
- Using it as blog content.
- Stocking your autoresponder with it.
- Repackaging it, such as turning text content into a video.
- Creating paid products out of it.
And more – there are a nearly endless number of ways to use PLR content to grow your business!
Reason #4: PLR content makes you look like an expert. If you’re not already an expert in your niche, then you’ll need to spend a considerable amount of time researching various topics in order to create content that establishes you as an expert.
Alternatively, you can choose to use well-researched and well-written PLR content. Bam, you’re an instant expert!
Reason #5: PLR is easy
to obtain. Several years ago you may have been
hard-pressed to discover PLR content, especially a good, steady stream of
niche-related content. These days PLR providers offer PLR content in most of
the major niches.
And better yet, they tend to offer fresh content every month or even every week, meaning you’ll never run out of content.
And there you have it – five reasons why you should starting using
PLR content to grow your own business.

How to Rewrite PLR In Five Easy Steps
You’ve heard that you should rewrite your PLR content to make it more unique. But how do you do this?
Do you rewrite everything or just parts of it?
And do you use it as a foundation for your content… or do you merely tweak it a bit?
If you ever wondered about these questions, you’re not alone.
Read on to discover exactly how to tweak your content in five easy steps…
Step 1: Combine Multiple Sources for Creating Products
One of the easiest ways to make your PLR content unique is to combine multiple pieces of PLR.
Example: You can compile a set of articles to create a report. Or you can use parts of multiple ebooks to create a new ebook. You can even do things like combine two articles to create a brand new article.
Step 2: Delete Unnecessary Information.
Does your PLR content contain fluff or other irrelevant or unnecessary information?
If so, delete those sections. It not only makes your final product more unique, but it also makes it a better product.
Step 3: Write a New Introduction.
Since you combine multiple sources, you basically have a new article, ebook, or other product.
And that means you need to write a new introduction.
However, don’t just write the traditional introduction where you blandly tell people what they’re going to learn about.
Instead, whet their appetite for the content. Get them excited. How? By arousing their curiosity.
Example: “You’re about to discover a surprisingly simple way to get rid of belly fat!” You can bet your prospects will keep reading after they see an enticing line like that!
Step 4: Create a New Conclusion.
In its simplest form, you can use your conclusion to highlight the main points of what your reader just learned.
However, you can use your conclusion to accomplish two other goals:
- Surprise the reader. Here you can offer one last juicy tip for your reader, which will surprise and satisfy him. And if he’s a skimmer who didn’t read the full article, report or ebook, this juicy tip will motivate him to do so.
- Inspire the reader to take action. Your conclusion is also a great place to provide a call to action. You can tell your reader to take action on what he just learned. Or you can encourage him to take another specific action, such as signing up for your mailing list or buying a product.
Step 5: Tweak the Content to Make it Yours
By now your content is pretty darn unique.
However, with the exception of the introduction and conclusion, it really doesn’t sound like your “voice.”
That’s why you should take a few minutes to tweak the content to make it better reflect your own writing style.
Here are ways to do that:
Remove and/or replace slang, sayings, or other phrases and words you’d never say.
Add in your own examples, which help clarify complex concepts.
Insert your own stories, which personalizes the content.
Toss in your own unique tips and twists on the concepts.
Use fun languages like metaphors and analogies.
See how easy that is?
In just five simple steps you can turn your PLR content into exclusive, exciting content that meets your needs.
Articles take just a couple of minutes, while ebooks and longer content may take a few hours.
Either way, you’re saving time and money!

7 Things to Look for When Buying PLR Content
Here’s the cold, hard truth: Some of the PLR content that’s floating around the web is just plain BAD.
You know what I’m talking about. Some of it is gibberish.
Some of it is factually incorrect.
And some of it is outright plagiarized. (No kidding.)
So how can you protect yourself?
Simple: By using this seven-point checklist to be sure you’re buying high-quality PLR content from reputable sources. Just look for the following:
1. A Reputable Vendor for Creating Products
The best way to protect yourself from purchasing plagiarized or otherwise illegal content is by making sure you’re dealing with a reputable vendor.
That means you need to do a little due diligence before making your purchase. You can do this by:
Asking around. Are you a member of any business forums? Then ask around to see what others think of this vendor.
Running a Google search. Simply search for the vendor’s name to see if you turn up any unfavorable reviews.
2. Well-Researched Content.
You’ll need to take a look at a few samples in order to determine if the content is solid.
Basically, however, you’re looking to see if the content is factually correct.
3. Well-Written Content.
Again, you’ll need to ask the vendor to see a few samples of the content.
As you read it, ask yourself if it’s engaging.
Is grammar decent?
Is the piece easy to read?
If you answer yes to all three of these questions, that’s a good sign.
4. Limited-Availability Licenses.
You’ll have to pay a little more for PLR content where the vendor is selling a limited number of licenses.
That’s because you have less competition (and that’s a good thing).
However, if you tend to make your PLR content completely unique – such as by combining multiple PLR pieces – then the amount of competition needn’t factor into your purchase decision too much.
5. PLR With License Terms That Suit Your Needs.
Not all PLR content licenses are created equal.
Example: Some licenses offer unrestricted rights, meaning you can sell the PLR licenses to other marketers. Other licenses forbid this activity.
As such, be sure to read the licenses carefully to be sure they don’t restrict the ways you intend to use the content.
6. A Steady Supply of Related Content.
Once you realize how much time and money you save by using PLR content, you’ll be on a constant hunt for fresh, new PLR content in your niche.
And that’s why you should check if your favorite PLR vendors tend to put out related content on a regular basis (such as monthly or even weekly).
7. PLR Extras.
Many times when you purchase PLR content you get the content only with no extras or bonuses.
Example: If you buy a PLR ebook, then you get a PLR ebook… period.
If you want the most bang for your buck, then keep note of which of your favorite PLR vendors offer bonuses and other extras.
These extras may include:
- Minisite designs, which generally include a header, footer and “buy now” buttons.
- Graphics, such as ecovers.
- Sales letters.
- Supporting sales materials, such as an autoresponder series, pay per click ads, solo emails and more.
- Supporting sales funnel materials, such as a lead generating report and squeeze page.
Again, these aren’t a requirement, but they are nice perks when you’re purchasing private label rights content.
