That’s a question I’ve received too many times to ignore

Actually, it’s an excellent question.

Article directories don’t like to accept the same content from a bunch of people. Think about it, it makes them look bad if they have the same article list a number of times in their directory.

Google doesn’t show a lot of duplicate content because it’s not really useful for their customers; that is, people who do searches on Google.

Fortunately, this isn’t a major problem to solve and below I’ll show you how.

There’s really only one solution but there are a couple of proven ways to implement that solution.

Here’s how…
The solution isn’t rocket science… you just need to change the content.

That’s is, problem solved!

Thank you very much!

Come back next time…

Okay, just kidding

Let’s look at how to do it.

Rewrite the Content Yourself

The obvious way to change the content is just rewrite it yourself.

The advantages to this is that you don’t have to lay out any cash to get these changes.

The disadvantages are it takes your time, which might be better used for other things, and, if you aren’t a good writer, the quality of what you get may be not be good enough to really be of help.

Have Someone Rewrite the Content

One good way to get the content changed is to have someone rewrite it.

There are a number of places where you can get that done, here are some:

• www.NeedAnArticle.com
• www.elance.com
• www.guru.com
• www.warriorforum.com
• forums.digitalpoint.com
• writingbids.com
• www.getafreelancer.com

There are also individual writers you can find via Google, in fact, I have one that I use and I didn’t find them from those sites above.

One big advantage of having someone rewrite the article is that you get a different “voice” to the article so it truly does appear to be different.

Make sure that you get 40-50% different. You’ll hear people say that you only need 30% different and that may be enough but it isn’t much more to do more and you’ll stand out more if you get a better job. Software may say it is different at 30% but a person reading it can probably see it as the same.

At 40-50% it becomes just another article on the same topic.

The main disadvantage of having someone rewrite the article is that it takes longer and costs more.

“Spin” the Article

This is a controversial method and some people say you should never do this.

“Spinning” is having software rewrite the content for you.

You’ll find a lot of choices in spinning software.

Truthfully, most of them are pretty bad.

Let me tell you how spinning software works, at least the good ones.

Basically, you first go through the document (the article or book) you want to “spin” and, for words and phrases, you insert words and phrases that mean the same thing; that can be used as replacements for the words and phrases in the document.

Most of the software includes a thesaurus that helps you find words and will insert them in the document for you.

When you are done the spinner software will then create alternate versions of the document by randomly picking one of the replacement choices and inserting it into the document.

Let me give you a quick example…

Let’s take a paragraph above:

Here is a “spin-ready” version of the paragraph:

Notice that for most of the words the software has the options I’ve picked as possible substitutions.

You can then have the software create a “spun” copy like this one:

Or this “spun” copy:

You can create numerous copies, it just depends upon the number of replacements you put in the original document.

Some software will automatically insert replacements into the document but I’ve found that doing this will create some pretty bad documents.

This is one of the negatives of using spinner software but you can go through the articles and reject those aren’t good or do a more careful job of putting in the replacements.

This is work, of course, but spending a few hours to get dozens or hundreds of copies is really a cheap way to get unique content.

Conclusion

You are right to be concerned about the value of PLR content for marketing purposes; in fact, the value of PLR for anything other than knowledge should be questioned.

Fortunately, if you just change it, it provides a lot of value for marketing.

And it isn’t that hard or expensive to make the necessary changes. You can either:

1. Rewrite it yourself
2. Get someone else to rewrite
3. “Spin” the content

Depending upon your situation, each choice can be the right one.

In general, spinning is a great balance of the advantages and disadvantages.

By far, my current favorite spinner is Jonathan Leger’s The Best Spinner which is a desktop tool whose real power comes from the fact that they use a dynamic, online, user-updated thesaurus which gives it the best one I’ve seen with the most replacement choices.

Using PLR Content to Get Traffic

I guess it makes sense because if you been around in the Internet Marketing world at all, products rights is a confusing place with many different type of rights, many rights sounding the same as other rights but being different and even those that are the same are different.

In future blog posts I’ll go into depth about many of them but before that I’m going to give an overview.

We’ll look at the most common rights you’ll find and give you a good basic understanding of each so you know what to look for.

Remember though that each product is different and may give different rights, even if it uses a common term, so be sure to read the rights license to know exactly what you’re getting.

Let’s get to it…

Personal Use Rights (PU)

The most basic rights of all, Personal Use Rights means that you can use and benefit from the product personally but you can do anything else with it, including but not limited to giving it away, selling it, putting it on you Web site or changing it.

Giveaway Rights (GR)

For more details on Giveaway Rights see my blog post Giveaway Rights Products: What? Why? How? but, in short, Giveaway Rights allows you to give away the product.

You can’t sell it or accept payment of any amount for the product but you can give it away as a gift.

This is a good way to do list building and relationship building and the minimum rights you need to do that.

Reprint Rights/Republish Rights (RpR)

Reprint Rights, sometimes called Republish Rights, is a restricted form of Giveaway Rights.

It allows you to take the products, most commonly an article or report, and “reprint” it, that is, put it on your Web site, or on your blog or in your newsletter; you must not change anything including the product or the product author information.

You may not sell this information.

This is particularly useful to add content to your Web properties without cost and with little effort. If the source provides an RSS feed you can even have it done automatically.

Rebranding Rights (RbR)

With Rebranding Rights you are allowed to “brand”, change some very specific parts of the product.

The most common change allowed is to change any links in the product to be your affiliate links but other include putting your name and Web site on the product and adding your advertisement.

To stop people from making any other changes and to make it easier to brand the products a “rebrander” is usually included. Some examples are Turbo Brander and Viral PDF.

While no other rights are given with Rebranding Rights there is no other reason to allow branding without giving some other rights so expect to be able to give away the product; sometimes you are allowed to sell the product.

This is a more powerful way to do viral marketing, list building and relationship building.

Resell Rights/Resale Rights (RR/BRR)

Resell Rights, also frequently called Resale Rights or Basic Resell/Resale Rights, means you get the rights to sell the product to your customers and, of course, keep 100% of the money they pay you.

You may get other rights, like allowing you to use the product as a bonus or the ability to add to a membership site but that should be detailed in the rights license you receive and should not be assumed.

It does not mean that your customers get any rights other than Personal Use Rights nor does it mean you can change the product in any way.

This is the most basic rights you need if you plan to sell the product.

Master Resell Rights/ Master Resale Rights (MRR)

Master Resell Rights, also frequently called Master Resale Rights, means Resell Rights and that you can pass on Resell Rights (and usually Master Resell Rights) to your customers.

As with Resell Rights, you may get other rights, like allowing you to use the product as a bonus or the ability to add to a membership site but check the rights license to be sure.

This is the most basic rights you need if you sell to customers who are looking for product to sell.

Private Label Rights (PLR)

Private Label Rights means you get the right to change the product.

It does not give you the right to sell the product although almost all the time some other type of rights – Giveaway, Resell or Master Resell – are also included; again check the actual rights license you receive with the product.

Usually you can put your name as author on the product and frequently you MUST put your name as author on the product.

Sometimes you are allowed to claim copyright and sometimes you are not, of course, if you change it enough that copyright laws would consider it a new product then you can claim copyright on that.

Frequently, you don’t get the rights to pass on Private Label Rights to your customers so be sure to check that.

This is the most basic rights you need if you wish to modify the product itself.

Other Rights

Nontransferable Rights (NT)

As the name implies, this means the some, or all, of the rights you receive aren’t transferable to your customers.

This is most frequently used with Private Label Rights which would mean you can change the product but your customers cannot.

Physical Product Rights (PPR)

Physical Product Rights allows you to take a digital product and turn it into a physical product like a CD or DVD.

Like Rebranding Rights, you don’t actually get any other rights – like to give away or sell – but there is no purpose to creating a physical if you can’t do something with it, so expect to also receive other rights along with the Translation Rights.

This is good rights to have if you want to have a premium product, sell on eBay or want to take your online customers offline.

Licensing Rights/Royalty Rights (LcR)

Licensing Rights, sometimes called Royalty Rights, is sort of a combination of Resell Rights and selling as an affiliate.

It allows you to sell the product and then pay a license (royalty) fee for each product sold.

This is very similar to getting a commission as an affiliate except that you have the advantages and disadvantages of controlling the sales process.

While not as good as Resell Rights, Licensing Rights is generally better than being an affiliate as you make more money and you get the customer not the product vendor.

Translation Rights (TrR)

Translation Rights allows you to translate the product into one or more languages different that the original language; your license will tell you how many languages or sometimes which languages you have the rights to.

Like Rebranding Rights, you don’t actually get any other rights – like to give away or sell – but there is no purpose to the translation if you can’t do something with it, so expect to also receive other rights along with the Translation Rights.

This is particularly good in being able to sell to specific markets, for example Spanish or Chinese speaking markets.

Unrestricted Rights (U)

Getting Unrestricted Rights means you can pretty much do whatever you want with the product within the boundaries of the type of rights you get.

For example, if you get Unrestricted Resell Rights (URR), you can sell it any way you want: the “normal” way but also you can put it on eBay and other auction sites, you can add it to Dime Sales or Fire Sales, can use it as a bonus, you can bundle it with other products, etc.

This is commonly used with Private Label Rights to give essentially unlimited rights to the product.

Beware though that sometimes products “unrestricted” rights come with some actual restrictions. An example would be an Unrestricted PLR (UPLR) product that restricts you from claiming copyright.

Conclusion

Product rights can be confusing and surprisingly complex.

Understanding the basics of what each type of rights provides you will help you in making sure the products you do get match the needs you have for them.

Remember though that these rights categories just provide a general basis for the actual rights you will get. The ultimate rights are explicitly defined with the rights license you get when you acquire the product; be sure to read and understand that license.

I am providing a handy chart for you to keep track of all the various rights, click here to download it.

Future blog posts will go into detail about the primary rights: what they are, why you would want them and how to use them.

Please leave a comment below and let me if you have any questions about rights or let me know if I missed anything important. Thanks.

Products Rights Explained

In the second part of this series we looked at the various options for rewriting and why you would or would not use each option.

In this third and final part we get to actually rewriting the PLR content – this would be the fun stuff if you like to write or the stuff you outsource if you don’t like to or don’t have the time.

Let’s jump right in

Anatomy of PLR Content

So this doesn’t get to be a long 100-part series I will focus solely on written content, that is, PLR book and articles.

The standard PLR content is made of up these 4 basic things:

1. Title: I don’t think this needs to be explained but remember it is the “headline” of the content so jazz it up some (or a lot!)
2. Introduction: there is usually a section that summarizes what the content is about and gets you hyped to continue reading
3. Chapters or Sections: books have chapters where each main point is gone over in detail; I’d suggest doing 8-10 chapters. Articles have section where each main point is gone over in some depth, but not in the detail you would in a book chapter; I’d suggest sticking to 3-6 sections.
4. Conclusion: this is sometimes called a summary because it summarizes what you’ve talked about. The difference between it and the Introduction is that the introduction focuses about the “problems” whereas the conclusion focuses on the “solutions” to the problems introduced in the introduction.

Put another way: suck them in, evoke emotions with the problems or issues you’ll talk about, amuse/educate/entertain/illuminate, and then pound it into their brains one more time.

You can certainly add addition things like a resources page, disclaimers, copyright and rights information, appendices and other stuff but the foundation of any written PLR content is the above.

Let look at each of the content “bone” in more depth (like we just said to do)

Rewriting the Title

Since the title is the first thing people see and one of the things they are likely to remember it’s a “must change” item.

You don’t want to have the same title as everyone else or you’ll just get lost in the crowd.

Come up with a snappy, attention grabbing, maybe even “in your face” title.

Remember too, that if the content is an article or something Google can index it will also show up in the search results so the more eye catching it is the better it will be for you.

Also for articles, make it keyword rich, this will help with the search engine ranking too.

So sit down, use a thesaurus if you need to, and think of different, more exciting ways you can redo the title.

For example, the title of this article is “Live the Life By Rewriting PLR Content”

Can you think of ways to rewrite that title? Go ahead, I’ll wait…

Here’s a couple to get you started:

• Rewriting PLR Made Fun and Easy
• How to Achieve Amazing Success with Private Label Rights

Rewriting the Introduction

The introduction is where you talk about the problems and issues you will be addressing in your book or article.

Not all books and articles have them but I would encourage you to add one if it doesn’t.

It’s really easy to add one, just take the primary points and create a sentence or short paragraph about each one.

To rewrite, just reword the introduction to add interest and personality to it.

Rewriting the Chapters and Sections

It is best to take a chapter or section at a time and rewrite them.

If a chapter has subsections then do each subsection separately.

So what do you do?

Cut the Fat

First, get rid of the fluff.

Most of the PLR content comes with lots of extra words that don’t add to the actual value. Take out this extra stuff; this “fat” makes for a worse product and removing it starts to differentiate your product.

Mix It Up

Second, usually it is easy to reorder paragraphs, sentences and words to make the content stronger or more interesting.

Lists are Gold

Change paragraphs or add bulleted lists.

Yes, just take some of the paragraphs and make lists from them. It’s as simple as that.

You can also add some lists to differentiate and add value to your product.

Chop It Up

One big problem I see with most PLR content is that there are huge paragraphs.

Not only does it have fat with rambling sentences in long paragraphs but it talks about lots of different things in different ways.

Take these long and rambling sentences and paragraphs and, after cutting out the extra words, chop them up into shorter sentences and paragraphs that focus on a single concept.

It will be easier to read and understand and a lot more interesting.

Modernize

Most of the PLR content available online is months, if not years, old.

This doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable but it may mean that it needs to be brought up to date.

Find the places where this is true and replace or remove those paragraphs.

Personalize

One of the best things you can do is add your unique personality to your PLR content.

So when you are rewriting they may be many places where you just need to put it into your words instead of the words of the original author.

Rewriting the Conclusion

The conclusion is where you tie everything together, reinforce the solutions and have one last chance to bond with your reader.

Like the introduction, not all books and articles have them but can easily add one if it doesn’t.

For each of the points, say again the essential point of the solution.

Points to Remember

For best results, make the PLR content as original and unique as you can.

If you rewrite don’t just rely on the tools to tell you things are okay, make sure it reads right and sounds like you (or how you want to sound like).

If outsource don’t rely on the writer, read it and sure it sounds right.

One good way to check the content is to read it aloud (or have someone read aloud and make a recording). This will find lots of things that you can easily correct to get a superior product.

You can add unique value by putting in charts, graphs, lists, Web sites, additional products, spreadsheets, footnotes and other things that will make your product look sensational when compare to competing products.

If you want to really be extraordinary, create audio and video from the content; either to support the content or to put it in another format. Use that as a bonus or back-end for your PLR content.

Conclusion

We looked at the things to do to rewrite PLR content to make your product both superior and lucrative.

PLR articles and books can be a highly profitable way to boost your income as an Internet marketer.

It saves you time and money and you don’t even need to know anything about the subject matter, although I will admit that helps; this is true though whether you rewrite yourself or outsource it to a ghostwriter.

If you are rewriting yourself then just take each section on its own and do it before moving to the next one

Start with the title and take each section one after the other applying the rules and techniques we discussed above.

After you are done you can use various desktop and online tools to see how unique your PLR content is. I use tools that are part of my content writing tools but I did find the following free tools. I haven’t tried them at all though so I can’t vouch for them in any way:

• http://www.dupecop.com/compare-spun-articles.php
• http://www.download3k.com/Network-tools/Search-Lookup-Tools/Download-GoScorpio-Dupe-Check.html

For Web content you can always use the venerable http://www.copyscape.com/ which is particularly good to use if you outsource to make sure the writer didn’t just copy content from someone else.

By following the steps in this series I think you can see why using PLR content can make it faster, easier and less costly to make additional, maybe a LOT of additional, money online.

Live the Life by Using PLR Content, Part 3

In this second part we will be looking at the various options for rewriting and why you would or would not use each option.

I go from what I consider the worst options to the best options.

Content Wrapping

One method of pseudo-rewriting PLR content is something called content wrapping.

This is where you add an introduction at the top of some PLR content and a conclusion at the bottom of it but don’t change anything else.

You can do this manually or get software to help do it for you.

Advantages: it is quick to do and you no longer have 100% duplicate content.

Disadvantages: the remaining amount of duplicate content is so great that it doesn’t really differentiate you much and doesn’t pass the “duplicate content” filters so you’re limited in what you can do with it.

Notes: Some people do content wrapping and then do small changes elsewhere in the document, particularly to add keyword phrases.

Content Spinning

Content spinning is taking PLR content and replace words, phrases and sentences with synonyms and other content that means the same thing; you can also move around entire paragraphs.

There is a lot of software to do “spinning” and as nice as that sounds usually the content produced by spinning software is almost always pretty bad and sometimes it’s even unintelligible; some isn’t too bad though.

Some require you to modify the content to indicate words and phrases that can be replaced and you have to put in the various replacements. It then creates lots of similar content by randomly replacing some of the words and phrases.

This requires a lot more work upfront by you but it does a much better job of producing readable content.

Advantages: it is relatively quick to do and you can get a lot of unique content. There is lots of software to help and the content will usually pass the duplicate content filters.

Disadvantages: if you do it manually it is labor intensive and if you use software the quality of the spun content can be bad; although it is usually easier to fix the content to correct the English than write from scratch.

Notes: Be sure you don’t just use spun content without serious review.

Manual Rewriting

The method that produces the best rewritten content is if you rewrite it yourself (others, see next option).

PLR content a great way to start because you don’t have to do the research and you don’t have to structure the content. You then just go through it and make it uniquely yours by:

1. Adding your own ideas to the content. For example, one of the things I’ve done with a PLR digital book is add a lot of footnotes highlighting and explaining specific important points
2. Add and inject your own “voice” and personality into the content.
3. Update sections that are old and have changed since the content was originally written
4. Remove sections that aren’t applicable or important anymore
5. Add charts, graphics, screenshots, audio, video, checklist, whatever will make it unique and more valuable to prospects

Correcting any mistakes including spelling and grammar

Advantages: it produces the best content, unless you aren’t a good writer, and it the most uniquely yours with no duplicate content filters to worry about.

Disadvantages: it is labor intensive although there is software that help you research and write to make it easier.

Notes: This way is a great way to do it except some people don’t write well, fear writing or don’t have the time; also it may not be the best use of your time. For all these reason the next option is also recommended.

Outsourcing

You can outsource any of the above options but the best overall approach is to outsource the manual rewriting.

You can hire service companies and individual writers to take your PLR content and rewrite it into something new and original.

Advantages: it produces the great content, the best if you aren’t a writer, and it saves you time and effort which could be used in a better way.

Disadvantages: it requires a cash outlay although an article rewrite should be under $5 and a digital book rewrite under $100. You are also more at the whim of the writer so sometimes you don’t get what you want when you want it; you’ll need to weed those people out and find the ones who are responsive to you.

Notes: This is particularly good if you have more money than time or you can’t write well. One service I’ve used that does a pretty good job can be found at http://www.StreetGuideToResellRights.com/Recommends/NeedAnArticle.

Conclusion

In this article we looked at the 4 major options for rewriting PLR content.

You now know what they are and the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can make a better decision on what to do. In brief:

1. Content Wrapping: adding an introduction and a conclusion to existing PLR content. This is easy but not of great value
2. Content Spinning: replacing words and phrases in a PLR document with different words and phrases that have the same meaning. This is easy but the quality of the spun content is generally not good
3. Manually Rewrite: you, personally, rewriting the content to create a original document. Labor intensive but tools can help and it’s easier than writing from scratch; it produces great, truly unique content if you can write
4. Outsource: Let someone else rewrite the PLR content for you. Particular good for someone with more money than time or people who value there time highly but you can be at the whim and schedule of the writer.

Next time we’ll look at the actual tasks need to rewrite PLR content.

Live the Life by Using PLR Content, Part 2

But how do you do that without spending every minute writing or spending wads of cash to get it written for you?

The answer is simple… Private Label Rights content.

If you don’t know what Private Label Rights (PLR) are let me give you a very quick overview.

Private label rights allows you to take existing content like a digital article or book (an e-book) and edit it however you wish, within the guidelines of the license of course.

Almost always you can also put your name on it, whether you edit it or not, and sometimes you are required to put your name on it.

Some examples of what you could do with PLR:

1. Add additional content, even book chapters, not already in it and create new digital books and articles
2. Put you affiliate links into it, either replacing existing links or adding new ones
3. Update or remove content that is out-dated so it is fresh and new
4. If the PLR product is articles you could combine them into a digital book.
5. If the PLR product is a digital book you could, split it up into multiple articles, e-books, reports or electronic courses (e-courses)

One final thing, their is a common misconception that Private Label Rights also gives you Resell Rights and that just isn’t true.

Frequently, you do get resell rights to PLR products but the have to be specifically granted so don’t assume you can resell the product just because you have private label rights; always check the license BEFORE you buy and don’t buy if you can’t find out.

Why Rewrite PLR Content

You need content to sell and content to bring your hordes of traffic but where do you get that content (and believe me you need lots of good content to get lots of good traffic – free traffic is definitely not “free”).

I say PLR products are a great way to get that content.

You hear many people say how PLR isn’t good because everyone buys and sells the same product or they don’t want Google to penalize them for duplicate content.

I disagree completely. I love well-research and written PLR because it saves me time and money, that is, time and money I don’t have to spend to create it from scratch. It requires:

1. Little or no research
2. Simple and inexpensive rewriting talent instead of a full fledged author
3. Relatively less time to rewrite than create (more money saving because of that)
4. Less concern about legal content because you own the rights to it

So the reasons to rewrite PLR content are to save time, to save money, to create a product unique to you and to not get a duplicate content penalty.

By the way, it should take an hour or two to research and write a typical article but it should only take about 15 minutes or so to rewrite it; so you saving at least 75% of the time and cost of creation.

For a digital book the percentage of time savings is even greater.

Cleaning Up with PLR Content

There are a number of ways to use to rewritten PLR content to pad, if not stuff, your bank account. Here are a couple of them:

Link Power Using Article Directories

One of the absolute best ways of making money with rewritten PLR content is by submitting them to article directories.

Article directories are powerful multi-channel traffic generators you should be using them to promote your Web properties.

Put a link in the resources box of the article, and other places if the directory allows, and you’ll get targeted traffic (the best kind in these ways:

1. A direct link from the article directory to your Web property so when someone reads the article that can click to go to your site
2. Direct links from everyone with goes to the directory and put your article on their Web property (a great article can be on lots of other people’s sites)
3. Indirect links from people who show your article on their sites via RSS feeds or Twitter
4. Lots of Google Love from all those one-way links from authority sites like the article directories and all the other sites who have you article on them

All that will bring in more targeted traffic and then multiply that by every article you submit.

Makes you want to run out and invest in and rewrite lots of PLR content doesn’t it!

Just remember that the biggest and most powerful article directories like Ezine Articles have guidelines so you need to own the rights and you need to rewrite it so it is unique – same topic but different words.

Plus that will just make you look more professional and expert; not bad things in the world of online marketing.

One last thing, you’ll see advertised services and software that will submit to umpteen thousand directories. That is, at best, worthless, and possibly harmful.

There is only a handful, or at most two handfuls, of article directories that have any real “power” so submitting to the others won’t do you much good and if you submit the same article to lots of Web site this could be considered “article spam” or “sparticles” and might actually harm you.

I just submit to one primary directory (Ezine Articles) and use the others now and then depending upon the situation and niche.

Create Kick-a$$ Products

Another great way to make money with rewritten PLR content is to create unique products that are in demand by buyers.

Do some market research, both before and after, your invest in the PLR content and then take it and rewrite it to be just what your research shows you people want to buy.

Let’s take a quick example, I looked at Google Trends and I see that Raw Food has a nice consistent upward trend for the last 6 years.

Further research shows me that there are thousands a month for “Raw Foods Vegan” and even more for “Organic Raw Foods” and that their trend is moving at a faster pace than just general “Raw Foods”.

So taking “Organic Raw Food” I check commercial viability, competition and other factors and end up with “Raw Diet Food for Women” as a good topic.

I then went out and found 50 articles for $5, 50 more for $1, some reports for $10, PLR Raw Food recipe books and a number of other PLR products I could use.

Now, I am wary about the quality of the content that’s too cheap unless I know to source but there is enough content that, for not too much money, I can have enough to create a digital book.

I take the content I’ve gathered, do some additional research on the Internet and rewrite the content into a product and, hopefully, some bonus products as well.

The entire process should take a couple of days, maybe a week if you’re not full-time and not experienced.

Get it all up on the Internet, drive traffic, tweak it so it is optimized and collect your money.

Then, when it’s making you some consistent money, do it all again (and again and …) with another topic or, hint, modify it slightly so it becomes “Raw Diet Food for Men” or “Raw Diet Food for Children” or …; it works great!

Conclusion

Making money with PLR products is a great way to either break into Internet Marketing or to really grow your business.

It doesn’t cost much to get started and you can get a nice business from PLR products, I know people who make well over 6 figures a year just from PLR products.

And using rewritten PLR content instead of creating it from scratch saves time, saves money, still gives you a product unique to you and you don’t have to worry about any possible duplicate content penalty.

Two great ways to use PLR content are by submitting the rewritten content to article directories and creating unique products to sell or give away or, better yet, both!

Next time we’ll talk about how to rewrite the content to maximize the value without costing a lot of time and money.
