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.

New Year, How Are You Doing?

I've got a good feeling about this year. I'm finally getting it as far as understanding affiliate marketing. People have told me before that it isn't that difficult, but I think something needs to click and it finally has. I'm still doing a lot of offline workshops for the local community centre and have also started renting my own venue to present them. I've done two so far. The first one I allowed people to pay at the door. Big mistake. They registered, but then sent me an email at the last minute saying they couldn't come. So after I paid for the location, I was in the hole. The second one I did, I finally got smart and put a Paypal registration on my website. So much easier, not to mention nice to get the Paypal notification that I had made a sale. Ended up with three times as many paying attendees and they paid $5 more each than the first group. Lest you think I made a fortune, my first workshop only had two payees, but it sounds better to say three t...

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

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
