How to Use PLR to Benefit the Bottom Line
Private Label Rights are pieces of content (articles, blog posts, ebooks, etc) that are written by one author but the ability to sell and keep the profits is given to others.
Inherent in this process are pitfalls that create problems for people who buy it and try to sell it. Last week I ranted a bit about those problems.
But, when you find quality workmanship that isn’t sold to hundreds and hundreds of people then you’ve got a gem. The real gold in Private Label Rights material is in the research behind the article and not necessarily the article or ebook itself.
Here are a few ways to profit from using PLR content in your current business that goes beyond the usual blog post, ezine, ebook, or Special Report.
1. Audio or video record the content for posting to podcast sites or video sites – great backlinks and a good way to get new readers.
2. Use the research behind the articles to post short, concise and targeted comments on other people’s blogs.
3. Use the research to answer a burning question that you put to CD and use as a lead in to a membership site.
4. Content can be used as education material on affiliate sites that sell related products.
5. Publish an offline newsletter for related businesses. For instance, PLR in the financial field would be helpful in pulling together a financial newsletter which investment brokers can send to their clients. The same can be said for Health & Wellness PLR to be used in offline newsletters for Chiropracters, massage therapists, alternative medicine practitioners, nurse practitioners or physical/occupational therapists in private practice.
Really – PLR can be used any other way you would normally use content. The trick is to find high quality, well written work that the owner stands behind.

I’d never considered what you’ve written about with regard to PLRs. Thanks for those tips. You hear some many arguments for and against using PLRs that I didn’t take the time to look at them from another perspective. That’s cleared up now that you provided some alternatives.
I had noticed that some PLR material is just too quaint to even be considered, while I’ve read some that were actually pretty good and informative. I guess the old saying about “diamonds in the rough” applies to PLR as with many other things.
Again, thanks for the article.
