Hey blog readers!
You’re in for a treat today. I managed to snag Nicole Dean, master internet marketer and all around awesome lady, for an interview on using Private Label Rights (PLR) content. You’ll want to check this out if you’ve been struggling to find the time to create enough content for your websites, blogs, email marketing and more…

Hi Angela,

Thanks for asking me here today. You and I have known each other for a number of years and have worked together, too, so this is a fun stop on my guest blogging adventure.

You sent me four questions for this interview to help beginners understand PLR and how it can help them in their online businesses.

The first question you asked me is “What is PLR Content?”

First of all PLR stands for “Private Label Rights” content, such as articles. In fact, articles are just what we’ll focus on today since that’s where most beginners start with PLR.

Here’s a quick video that’ll help explain.

In a nutshell, PLR articles are articles that you can purchase very inexpensively from a site like mine (EasyPLR.com – link with your aff link) and then use them in your online business as a shortcut, to save you time, and establish you as an expert.

At EasyPLR.com I hire highly-skilled writers to create a series of 5-10 articles on a topic, like Pregnancy or Social Media, and then our editors review the articles and improve them by adding more ideas and value. Then, we sell the pack of articles to around 100 website owners.

BUT – the best part about PLR is that you can edit it. You’ll get the articles in both .doc format and .txt format so you can tweak them and add some of your ideas and experiences to them, and use them in a variety of ways in your online business.

The next question is “Who can benefit from PLR?”

That’s a great question, Angela. Actually pretty much anyone with an online presence can benefit by using PLR.

Some of my customers are…

* Bloggers.
* Affiliate marketers.
* Virtual Assistants.
* Authors or those who wish to be.
* Podcast owners.
* Infoproduct Sellers.
* Membership Site Owners.
* Coaches.
* Consultants to Offline Businesses.
* Network Marketers/Direct Sellers.

Pretty much anyone who has a website or blog or who assists someone who has an online business, can benefit from using PLR.

The third question was “Will readers know they’re not getting 100% original content and be turned off from reading?”

There are two parts to that question.

1. If the articles are quality, readers will be happy. Honestly, people look for a few things when they’re surfing the web. They want to be educated, entertained, or enhanced in some way. So, as long as you’re buying PLR that accomplishes at least one of those goals, you’ll be good.
2. I always recommend that you add some of your own personality and experiences to the PLR that you purchase from my site EasyPLR.com. That will ensure that no other customer of mine will have the same article, because yours will have you in it.

We’ll wrap up with the final question “How do I know if I’m buying high quality PLR content to use on my sites and not junk?”

That’s another great question, Angela. There are several things I recommend when shopping for PLR.

Check out who is running the site.
I’ve seen PLR sites that have no name or face on them. That scares me. Heck, I wouldn’t buy a purse from a website that didn’t earn my trust. Why would I purchase articles that will represent me in my online business from a nameless & faceless company? I wouldn’t.

Find out the reputation of the company.
Ask around. For instance, EasyPLR.com has been selling PLR to repeat customers since 2006, and that’s a fact that makes me very proud. When I notify my customers that new PLR is available, I get a surge of orders – and I recognize many of the names because they’ve been buying my PLR for years.

Are they writing their own content or recycling?

Some PLR sites buy content from “wholesalers” and then resell it as their own. While that’s a legitimate business model, you’ll want to know if the site has their own writers, or if you’re buying content that’s being sold by multiple PLR sites on the web. At EasyPLR.com, I work with a team of writers and a team of editors to provide unique PLR content that is only available at my site.

While sharing is a good thing in Kindergarten…
Find out exactly how many others will have access to the exact same content that you’re buying. Some sites put absolutely no limit on the number of customers they’ll sell their PLR to. That means that you could be competing with thousands of other web site owners who have the exact same articles. While that’s not a deal-breaker for me, it’s something to consider.

Again, thanks, Angela, for inviting me here. I hope that this helps your readers to benefit from PLR. Please let me know if there are questions and I’ll swing back to respond.

Warmly,
Nicole Dean

Ever wish you could clone yourself?

I do all the time.

Here’s how:   I use private label rights articles, reports and ecourses.   But here’s the trick – I only use high quality PLR written by smart people like me. Often I use PLR as a starter but it saves me tons of time. Other times I’ve pretty much use great PLR as is.

Private Label Rights (PLR) content is professionally written content that is sold to a limited number of people. It is much cheaper than hiring a ghostwriter and can save a ton of time over writing all your own content.

Here’s one example: You might have noticed I offer a number of mini-courses on the Marketers Mojo website. Many of them have private label rights content included and all of that content came from the website a brilliant internet marketer who I’m lucky enough to call a friend named Nicole Dean. Her website is Easy PLR and you can click my referral link there to check out all the great content available.

Again, let me stress this is quality stuff. It’s written by professional writers who understand how to research, write and communicate effectively.   How can you use this to clone yourself?   Here are a few ideas:

• Use the articles as content for your website.
• Compile the articles into an ebook.
• Use the ecourses as ecourses!
• Give the reports away as promotional freebies.

Here’s where you can grab this quality content at a fraction of what a ghostwriter would cost: http://www.MarketersMojo.com/recommends/easyplr   There are many topics, not just internet marketing.   If you’re not sure what PLR is, see this Easy PLR Review & Video.

Product Description: Private Label Rights Article Packs

This site offers private label rights articles which are sold in packs to web publishers looking for top quality content for their websites or blogs. This site also sells content to offline publishers like local parenting magazines and coffee table book publishers.

Who This Product is Intended For: The customers at EasyPLR are website or blog owners who are interested in adding quality content to their website or blog to give added value for their readers. These people are usually in the market for unique, quality content, but cannot afford to pay ghostwriters higher prices. Their solution is to purchase quality PLR and edit it to become unique and their own.

Uses: Use the PLR articles from EasyPLR for blog posts, articles in your newsletter, or to create e-courses for your auto-responder. Pull the articles together in a document, add graphics, and turn it into a pdf. Then, offer that pdf as a freebie to your list. Create an information product, put your name on it and sell it. The uses are only limited by your imagination.

Pros: EasyPLR offers affordable articles. They always have many different topics to choose from. The articles are top quality, written by a paid writer, and then also edited by a second writer.

The articles can be personalized to better fit your site and you can claim them as your own. The people at EasyPLR only sell a limited amount of articles in each topic so you aren’t regurgitating the same stuff everyone else is. The other benefit of choosing Easy PLR is that there is no membership required. You can shop just for what you need – and get what you need without loading up on miscellaneous content.

The folks at Easy PLR also include suggested affiliate programs to monetize the PLR that you purchase.

Cons: The content will not be original to you. However, unlike most PLR sites, the packs are sold in very limited quantities.

The only other negative for this site is that I can’t always find content on the topic that I’m looking for. However, the quality more than makes up for that when I can find the topic I’m looking for. One way to get around this, although you will have to wait a bit longer, is to send an email and request a certain topic. Usually, they will have an article pack written up at customer requests.

Personal Opinion: www.EasyPLR.com allows me to provide my readers with quality information while saving me time (it’s available when I need it) and money (no ghostwriters or PLR memberships)
