Many people are confused about the difference between resell rights, master resell rights and private label rights. Some believe that these terms mean the same thing; however, they are not. Take a look at the differences.

Resell Rights

If you purchase a product that comes with resell rights, you have the right to resell the product “as is” in conjunction with the terms and conditions set forth in your license. Basically this means that you are not allowed to alter, edit or in any other way change the product. And you may not put claim it as being your own by putting your name on it as the author.

Check your license, though, for specific resell rights rules. Not all are the same. For example, some products are not allowed to be sold in eBay auctions, potentially devaluing them.

Master Resell Rights

There is one big difference between resell rights and master resell rights. While resell rights allow you the right to resell the product, master resell rights allow you to resell the product along with the resell rights.

This is a powerful combination for potential buyers who also make a living selling to others. Because with master rights, they can use your product for themselves plus they can include it in their product line to generate extra income.

And just as with resell rights, make sure to look closer at the license that comes with the product. There may be limitations about where you can sell and not be allowed to add unlimited products to a membership site, for example.

Private Label Rights

Private label rights are considered by many to be the “grand daddy of all rights.” When you have private label rights, you are allowed to edit, alter, revise and in any other way change the product as you like to suit your needs.

Plus you can claim authorship, slapping your own name or company name on the product as the author or originator. This means you are able to change paragraph order, sentence structure, insert other paragraphs or entire articles, graphics, ads… whatever you want to the product.

Or you might choose to break the product down into several different products. Regardless of what you decide to do, you can brand it and do what you want with it- toss up sales materials, promote and sell it as your own product, naming it what you like.

Many buyers prefer private label rights because they help save lots of time, money, energy and hard work creating new products. And some private label rights products come with lots of marketing materials that you can revise to go with the products, more of a win-win; like websites, sales copy, articles for marketing and autoresponder series and more.

Which to Choose

Since products with private label rights do come packaged with so much more freedom to do with as you wish, private label rights product packages generally cost more to purchase than resell and master rights product packages.

And some products may even come with a variety of different options offered to buyers, each priced accordingly; for example, buying the product with no rights, with resell rights, with master resell rights or with private label rights so that you can revise the product then package it to resell any way you want.

So print out this handy reference page to help with any confusion with these various terms. And if you are ever given a choice, always opt for private label rights. These will allow you to have a product of your very own, without actually having to create one yourself, and to market it as well.

How to make the most of your Private Label Rights membership

General, Ideas for PLR Profits No Comments »

A private label rights membership (PLR membership) is more than just a place where you get access to private label rights content (ebooks, articles, videos, audios, templates, and other stuff).

Usually, these memberships provide a huge collection of tools and strategies to help you make the most of your membership. Well, the good ones, anyway! ;-)

For this reason, it’s always a good idea to take some time reviewing the instructions and any helpful tips and guidelines provided in the private label rights membership site you have joined or are considering joining. The more time you spend learning, the more money you can make.

In addition to the tips and strategies you get inside the membership area, here are a few basic guidelines to help you make the most of your private label rights membership.

What rights do you get with your PLR membership?

It’s important to familiarize yourself with the rights you get with the PLR products. These rights should be something along these lines (but check with the individual programs to make sure, as they vary a lot):

With private label rights, you have the right to make the content unique to you by editing, revising or altering the original content. You can claim authorship after you have altered the original works. Often, it’s a requirement to make the content unique in at least some ways.

Again, do check with your program to learn about specific requirements. Some ask you to revise a certain percentage. And others may have additional rules like not selling the packages for under a certain price or on eBay. When in doubt, ask questions so you know exactly what rights you have.

Tackling your private label rights projects

Break your private label rights projects up into small action steps, noting them on paper or a document on your computer. Once that is done, tackle each step one by one. This will help you complete each project with success.

Work on just one project at a time.

If your membership site gives you more than one ebook package for example, only work on one at a time until it’s completely finished and loaded, ready for sale, and your marketing materials are in place.

Working on more than one project at a time means you will delay your results for each project significantly. Completing projects one at a time ensure you start getting results for each project as you finish them, not at the end when you have finished working on all of them.

And this is assuming you do manage to finish all of them and don’t get bored and give up half-way! ;-)

Break each private label project into small, manageable steps

Breaking each project into small steps and writing them down will help you create a system that works for you.

You will also be able to replicate this system again and again for each PLR project. You just need to follow the plan that has proven to work for the first product, the next one, and so on.

This is the single best thing you can do to get the most results out of your PLR membership.

Example steps-breakdown for your PLR products/projects

Rewrite your product and marketing content

Edit for spelling & grammar errors as needed. Insert graphics/digital photos. Insert other articles or paragraphs into the content. Rewrite some sentences and paragraphs. After rewriting the sales copy, insert audio/video, links, images, etc. Maybe change chapter order or orders of sections and headings in the ebook too.

Brand everything

Add your contact information and especially URL to the product header / footer of each page, the sales copy, articles, autoresponder series, etc.

Insert monetization

Find as many ways as you can to monetize your product, website and marketing materials: Google Adsense ads, affiliate links, banners, product images for back-end sales, sponsor and classified ads, etc.

Load everything in place

Add autoresponder messages and lead capture form code into the sales page or as its own web page, main product website, product and bonus download files, audio/video files, etc. Of course, don’t forget to create your thank you page/download page and upload your product somewhere so your customers can download it.

Start marketing

Marketing is something that needs to be done daily! Set up a daily Task in your Outlook or other calendar and spend a little time each day for promotions: submitting articles with your byline & URL, post on forums and send out emails with your URL in your signature (sig) file.

Just by following the above guidelines and tips, you can stay ahead of most folks that join private label rights membership sites. By taking consistent and systematic actions, you can produce incredible results.

Thinking of submitting PLR articles to article directories?

General, Ideas for PLR Profits, Rewriting PLR 1 Comment »

There are just a few things you need to keep in mind before submitting your private label rights (PLR) articles to online article directories.

Take a look at the quality of the PLR articles you have

Of course, the first thing to do is to make sure that the content you provide is well written and informative.

Grammatical or other kinds of mistakes that come from poor writing skills are going to drive readers (and thus your traffic) away faster than anything else you might do.

So go through your PLR articles, revise them to fit your marketing needs and edit them as needed. Make sure you correct all grammatical errors, fix all the typos, and rewrite where necessary.

Long article or short?

One question that plagues more article writers is whether they should submit long articles or short ones.

Article directories themselves insist on long articles. Long articles also help you rank well in the search engines, because search engines LOVE content.

On the other hand, long articles tend to lower your results in terms of getting click throughs from your article resource box. Very few people end up reaching the end of the article and reading your resource box, let alone click it.

So in the end it’s a balancing trick between trying to get higher search engine rankings and getting around people’s low attention spans.

Something like 300-400 words should keep both you and the article directories happy. If necessary, make changes to the article to get an optimum word count before you submit it to any article directory.

Rewrite the article before submitting

As you know, several people, sometimes even hundreds, have access to the same PLR article. Submitting them as-is to the article directories will get them rejected on account of duplicate content.

So all you need to do is rewrite the article a bit to make it unique. Here are a couple posts on this blog to help you with this task and achieve it quickly:

  1. Turn old PLR articles into fresh, new content in 10 minutes
  2. How to create unique content using PLR articles

Rewriting the articles will not only make them stand out, it will increase the chances of getting your article accepted in the article directories.

Add a resource box at the end

A byline or resource box is crucial to the success of your article marketing efforts.

Just add a few sentences about your website, and include a link back to it. Make sure the anchor text for the link uses keywords that are relevant to both the article and your website.

At a minimum, your resource box should contain these items:

  1. Your name
  2. Your website address
  3. 1-3 sentences describing you and your offer
  4. Your “call to action” (where you ask them to click on the link, or to buy, etc.)

The better your resource box is, the more results you will get out of your efforts.

Other tips and do’s and don’ts:

  • Make sure you provide useful and accurate information in your articles.
  • Your article should provide useful information, but not the “whole” information. It should only serve as a “teaser” to entice readers to click the link in your resource box and come to your website for the rest of the information.
  • Avoid any hype or other useless information. This can only get your articles rejected by the article directory.
  • After you’ve revised your PLR article and submitted it to article directories, look for ways to promote the article AND promote using the article to increase traffic to your web site.
  • Look for other marketing means like using snippets of you articles on blogs and in forum posts, and tagging them in social networking sites as helpful resources for others.
  • Don’t break the rules. Before you submit your PLR article to article directories, make sure that you meet their guidelines.
  • Make sure that the articles you write are free of character errors (i.e. run your content through a text editor like Notepad first). This will make sure there are no funky or non-ASCII characters in your article text. This is important especially if the PLR article is in Word .doc format.

By taking these few steps, you’ll ensure that you are able to utilize all your PLR articles for your article marketing by submitting them to article directories. It pays to spend a little time to check these few things first when using PLR articles.

Turn old PLR articles into fresh, new content in just 10 minutes

General, Rewriting PLR 1 Comment »

(This post is a live example of producing fresh and new content using private label rights articles in just a few minutes. I took an old PLR article and created fresh content out of it in just over 9 minutes. All I did was follow the instructions laid out below.)

The purpose of this article is to hopefully help those of you that can’t seem to rework those PLR articles into fresh content the search engines are going to love.

But first, a disclaimer:

I can’t guarantee you can make every PLR article unique in 10 minutes. I simply don’t know you and everyone is different. For example, some of you may be able to type 100 wpm while others are hunt and peck typists.

But yes, I personally have taken articles and made them unique within 10 minutes. In some cases it has taken 30 minutes to an hour depending on the type and length of the content.

That said, let’s move on.

Turning PLR articles into unique content

If you own lots of private label rights articles and they’re just collecting dust sitting on your hard drive because you feel it just takes too long to make them unique or too expensive to have them rewritten then you’ll want to read this article.

You really just want to make yourself a little more unique than everyone else out there promoting the same PLR ebooks and articles and by combining PLR’s together, you can be more unique.

Another really good idea is to make audio eBooks out of some of the PLR articles you have not doing anything but sitting on your hard drive. Audio files make it easy for folks to get the information they are looking for but without having to read it.

Not only are audio files easier to “consume,” but you can also charge more for this type of media due to the perceived value and the ease of use.

Now that I’ve given you some ideas of what can be done with articles and eBooks, I’ll go ahead and walk through one of the methods I use. Let’s go ahead and get started!

(More ideas for creating unique content using PLR articles.)

Steps to turn old PLR articles into fresh, new content

First of all you need to change the title to something that is a good match to the content and also something that would have one or two good keywords in the title.

Normally I’ll take an article that has around 500 words and add a short paragraph at the beginning and maybe at the end as well. But usually just adding a paragraph at the beginning is sufficient.

After the title is changed and a paragraph is added then it’s time for the content to be changed. I’ve found the quickest way to do this is changing the words into my own as I read the article. Perhaps I’ll add a sentence or delete a sentence here and there as I’m going through the content. This really depends on the flow of the original article.

Once this has been completed it’s time to proof read the new article. Finally after any errors are corrected I’ll read the entire article one more time to make sure that it has good content and that people will genuinely benefit from the content.

The final step is to get my article published. I use Isnare.com most of the time. The reason I use them is they will distribute your article to over 40,000 publishers and hundreds of article sites. They charge a small fee per article but it’s well worth the money and the time you save by submitting only one time.

I hope you have enjoyed this article and it has been helpful. If you have any ideas to share, please comment below.

Setting up PLR membership sites – Virtually guaranteed income

Ideas for PLR Profits, Making Money, PLR Resources No Comments »

If you are like me, and your hard drive is full of PLR, membership sites are something you should definitely think about. In this post, we will talk about how to create a full-fledged membership site using PLR material, and only using free tools.

Why start your own membership site

The most important reason for starting your own membership site is that it can virtually guarantee your income from month to month. Each member pays you a fixed amount per month, and the more members you have, the more money you make.

The beauty of this setup is that you only have to sell each member once. Once you get a customer to join your membership site, you keep getting paid by that customer month after month, for as long as they stay a member.

So what this means is that you can have a very nice monthly income just by making a few new sales per month. This is because you keep getting paid each month for the sales you made in the past months, plus you also start getting paid for the new sales you made this month.

So as an example, let’s say you have a membership site that sells for $19/month, and you make just one sale per day. At this rate, you make $570 at the end of the first month. At the end of the second month, you make $1,140. At the end of the third month, you make $1,710. At the end of the sixth month, you make $3,420. And so on.

Do you see how it keeps increasing? Just one sale per day translates into a healthy monthly income after just a few months. And it goes up from there.

How to start your own membership site

In spite of what you may think or may have heard, it’s not hard to get started at all. And it doesn’t cost a whole lot of money either. In fact, you can get started in just a few minutes if you want.

And I will show you two methods, one of which will let you get started using just free tools, and the other will require you to invest just a few bucks per month to keep going. I suggest you take a look at both, and pick the one you like best.

I have personally used both methods to make money for myself (still do) and can vouch for their ease of use and low-tech setup.

Method 1: Start your membership site using free tools

This method is not just low cost, it’s also low tech, and takes just a few hours per month to maintain. It’s basically a set of videos that you can watch to learn the full details.

Just one thing: The video will show you how to get your membership site started in six minutes, but it will take you a little longer to put the content in place (of course). Just something I thought I should let you know before you dive into the full details.

More details are out of scope for this blog post, so if you are interested, you can click here to learn more.

Method 2: Start your membership site using low cost tools

Once again, this method is also pretty low tech, and employs a low cost tool to get going. The advantage of this method over the previous one is that you only need to do the work once as far as creating content is concerned. After that, as new members keep joining, they start at the beginning, and go through the rest of the content in a linear fashion.

You can get started in 48 hours or less.

Read more on this page.

Like I said, I have personally used both methods, and still use them to make money every single month. As different as the two methods are, they have one thing in common – make you money using your own membership sites, month after month.

You can use PLR content for these membership sites, or you can write your own if you want. A package of 200,000+ PLR articles is available here.
