The video helped with what PLR is, but what can we do with it? There are so many wonderful ways to use PLR and here is a great article by Nicole that outlines some of them for you!

You may have seen the term Private Label Rights or PLR articles
being tossed around frequently lately. PLR articles are articles you
can buy (usually in packages or as part of a membership) that you may
edit and use as you wish. Unlike free reprint articles, you are not
required to link back to anyone else’s website which makes them
appealing to many web publishers.

Once you understand the concept behind PLR articles, you can see
why they are appealing. Most people can envision the value of adding
the articles to their websites. But, did you know there are more ways
to use PLR articles than that?

1. Add them to your blog.

Similar to adding PLR articles to your website, you can take
excerpts and use them on your blog for fresh content. Whether you take
a portion and use it as a “tip of the day” or use the entire article,
PLR articles can be a huge time saver for you.

2. Send them in your newsletter.

Need content for your newsletter? PLR articles are an option. Of
course, if you’re developing a relationship with your readers, you may
wish to edit the articles to make them your own voice. However, you can
pull a section from a PLR article – use it as inspiration — and whip
out a newsletter in minutes.

3. Start an ecourse

If you purchase a package of PLR articles based on a theme, it’s
quite easy to turn them into an ecourse simply by adding them to your
autoresponder. Something as simple as “Five Ideas for Kids Lunches” can
become a 5 day ecourse to grow a big newsletter list.

4. Use them in your podcast

Take a PLR article and use it as inspiration for a podcast. Add the content and you’re done.

5. Send them in a print mailing

Direct mailing is huge. If you have a list of postal mailing
addresses, put together a free report from PLR articles and send it
out.

6. Create a special report

Simply bulk together some PLR articles that have the same topic,
and make them flow into a special report. Turn it into a pdf file and
give it away to your website visitors.

See how easy that is?

The only hard part is finding a high quality PLR service
that fits your niche. Look around. Make sure the
PLR package or membership you choose provides you with high quality
articles so you can create something you’ll be proud of.

Nicole Dean welcomes you to check out EasyPLR.com – where you’ll find high-quality PLR articles on niches sold in very limited quantities.

We are getting ready to relaunch. I’m sure you noticed that we ran
into some technical difficulty this month that delayed July’s content
being added to the membership area and as of today all recurring
subscriptions have been canceled.

This week we are relaunching to a new format and will only be
offering single pack purchases from here on out.

How does this effect you?

If you’re a current monthly subscriber or an every 3 months
subscriber your recurring PayPal subscription has been canceled on our
end. However, this does not mean that you will stop receiving content
from us.

Because you were our founding members and your feedback has helped
us to shape our business model and figure out what’s working and
what’s not working we are going to send you all of our PLR packs from
now until January 1st, 2010 at no additional charge to you.

If you’re a lifetime membership subscriber, you will still receive
all PLR packages and don’t need to change anything at this time.

We will be contacting all premium members one on one this week to
further discuss these changes and confirm the email addresses to send
2009’s PLR packages to.

Going forward we will still be adding at least one new content
package to the site every month, sometimes there might be more than
one package added. The difference is that you can pick and choose
which packages you want to purchase. Bonuses will still be included
and we will always be available to help with anything that you need.

There will be a few announcements coming out this week as we make
the transition to this new format. Stay tuned for more details as they
become available.

If anyone has any questions about the changes, please post here or send us an email. We’re working to get the changes made as quickly as possible.

Note for affiliates* We forgot to mention this yesterday, the affiliate program will also be changing, since we are changing the entire software behind the scenes. However, the affiliate commissions will be increasing, and we’re going to make it easier to link to us and send out news to your lists.

Overall there are good things in the works for everyone! A huge thank you to everyone for their feedback and input over the past few months. We are striving to bring you the best PLR

Recently, in an interview, I was asked “Is it ethical to use private label rights and ghostwritten articles?”

Let me step back a moment and explain… Private label rights (or PLR) articles and ghostwritten articles are used by web owners as a method of outsourcing some of their content.

* PLR articles are packages of articles that are pre-written and sold to more than one person.

* Ghostwritten articles are articles that are written by someone else just for you that you can put your name on and are not sold to anyone else.

In both cases, you are allowed to edit the content as much or as little as you’d like and use the articles on your website, blog, or in your newsletter.

So, back to the question. Is it ethical? My answer was, “usually, yes”.

If you’re using the articles and saying “written by me” without changing anything at all, it may bite you in the butt later, when someone else does the same thing. Does that make it unethical? Not really. It’s just not smart. Can you use the article as it is or edited slightly, without saying it was written by you? Of course!

Most PLR packs are written by ghostwriters. Ghostwriters are professional researchers and writers. If you purchase well-written, informative PLR or ghostwritten articles and share them with your readers, don’t you all benefit? Your readers benefit by getting great information. You benefit by saving time. Is it any different than hiring a graphic designer or webmaster? Not in my opinion. Heck, most politicians don’t write their own speeches. They leave that to people who are professional speech writers.

Of course, you’d want to only use top-notch articles and not “sell-out” just to pump out blog posts or web pages quicker. We recommend you research thoroughly before choosing any ghostwriter or PLR service.

Here’s what to look for in a PLR service so you don’t waste your money:
1. Make sure the articles are written well.
2. Make sure that you know what topics you’ll receive (instead of some grab-bag of articles).
3. Be sure that the people running the program have some experience in article writing themselves, so they know what they’re doing.

There’s no point in doing everything on your own, especially if you dislike writing. All successful business people outsource the tasks they are not good at or dislike. Check it out. It might take some pressure off you and allow you to spend more time with your kids. And, that’s definitely ethical.

I hope this gives you a bit of an idea of what we’re all about. If you only need a few product reviews now and then, or you’re focusing on just a single niche right now, we totally understand. That’s why we now offer single packs of our reviews on the Product Review PLR home page.

Just scroll down to the bottom to see which packs are still available. These are the same product reviews our monthly members receive. The only difference is that the bonuses are not included. We like to keep the bonuses exclusive to members. We may however be offering article packs in the future since we have received quite a few requests for the gardening article PLR to be released individually.

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed the products we’ve reviewed up to this point. It’s hard to believe we’ve done 3 months already! Looking forward to bringing you more product reviews very soon.
