Here are several ways you can use PLR articles to make money.
- Use PLR articles to create web pages
- Post them to article directories
- Use them to create Squidoo lenses
- Post them on your blog
- Post them as comments on other people’s blogs (especially those that don’t use rel=”nofollow” in their links, or those that you think will drive a lot of traffic to your site)
- Use them to make posts in forums related to your niche
- Use them to fill up your auto-responder series, or as content for your newsletter
- Use them to compile or create reports or e-books that you can sell or give away, either as a standalone product or as a bonus with another product
- Use them to create a membership site
- Use them to create reports or e-books that you put inside the members area of your website (combine 8 and 9 above)
- Use them to create audio reports or podcasts – just read the articles aloud and edit the resulting audio
- Use them as idea joggers – to get ideas for topics you would like to write about, either in your blog or your web site
- Use them to start sites in niches that you know nothing or almost nothing about
- Use them for “bum marketing”
- Use them to create offline newsletters (that your customers get in their mailbox)
Hope that gives you a few ideas. Enjoy!
PLR articles, or Private Label Rights articles are articles written by others that you can use on your website or blog as if it’s your own content.
You can change the content of the articles in any way, if you want. You can edit the opening paragraph, or add a new one. You can change the title of the articles. And best of all, you can put your own name as the author of the article.
A warning, though. Just because you obtain private label rights doesn’t mean you become the owner of the article. You don’t have any rights that haven’t explicitly been given by the seller to you.
For example, you may or may not be able to sell the article as part of a paid product or membership site. Similarly, you may or may not be able to provide PLR rights to the modified (or unmodified) article to others.
The creator of the article may have restrictions on the way you distribute and publish the PLR article. Also, obtaining PLR rights does not mean you also become the copyright holder. The author of the PLR article retains the copyright.
In each case, it’s best to stick to the rights that you have been explicitly provided. When in doubt, you can ask the provider of the PLR articles.
