Tips For Using PLR

It seems everywhere I look these days, marketers are discussing the pros and cons of PLR or Private Label Rights. Since there is such a demand for content on websites, these ready made PLR articles are an easy way to fill a site with material. Or are they?

Personally, I've tried using PLR a few times without much to show for my time and effort. Many of the articles are so poorly written that I don't know where to start. Sure, there may be some jewels of content, but you sure need to dig for them!

Some marketers use their PLR material as research and idea generators, rather than ready made reading material. Others break the text up, add their own content as well, and use it as blog posts or in emails to their subscribers.

I'm on a quest to learn the best ways to use Private Label Rights, especially since I have enough on my hard drive to fill a library. I did find a free report, again by Melanie Bremner, titled "Using PLR For Business". Have a read and let me know how (and if) you've been using PLR for your online business. All tips appreciated!

Update: Since my rant about having to give my life away to download this free report, Melanie has changed her service. It's now a simple download with no questions asked. Thanks Mel.

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol

Jet Lag and NAMS 4

Okay, it wasn't a jet, but I did take a 747 to NAMS. And yes, I've been back for a week now. But it takes me a while to recover so you won't get all the juicy details for a bit longer yet. All I can say is I took loads of notes, hung out with some amazing people, and wish they didn't live so far away. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the sessions with Bob 'The Teacher' Jenkins, Karon Thackston, and Kathleen Gage. Of course all of the presenters were great, but those three I got the most from. And I had a 15 minute consultation with Mark Hendricks as well. The last NAMS I didn't think I had anything to discuss with him, but this time I forced myself to sign up. I was super nervous, but he was very easy to talk to, and he actually liked my idea for a membership site. I'll talk more about that another time. Once I get my notes organized, I'll give you my top ten takeaway points. Now the challenge is to do them, not stay in learning mode. So
