Are you having trouble coming up with content for your website, blog or autoresponder? Using PLR (private label rights) content is an easy and affordable way to get quality content that you can edit and use as you please without backlinking or naming the source you get it from.

The reasons vary why some turn to PLR content. For some it is used because they lack the necessary skills to write a good article or blog post. For others it may be a lack of time to write , they might just use it for ideas or they may need a constant flow of content in addition to what they are already writing.

There isn’t a right or wrong reason for buying PLR as long as it’s good quality and you use only in the ways the PLR seller allows you to, you will serve your readers and customers well, depending on what you are using your PLR for. Always read the license allowed to your with the PLR you will be purchasing so you know exactly what you can and can’t do.

I heard using PLR is wrong?

Everyone will not agree on this controversial topic depending on if you know much about PLR or if you do and are dead-set against it. If you are, that’s okay. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, though what I find is that most people I talk to who are against it, really don’t understand the concept of PLR and they feel that it is a form of plagiarism.

PLR content is content that you are purchasing the rights to, so it isn’t stealing or plagiarism. It’s not the same as someone scraping content from many different sites on the internet. I see products like that and it makes me mad because that is stealing. How can one actually put a site together from content belonging to someone else , not including public domain content, without their permission and failing to credit them or compensate them and think that it’s ok?

This is something that someone new to internet marketing may fall for because they don’t know any better but those who create products like this do know and they don’t care about anything but getting your money for their crappy products. They don’t care if you ruin your reputation as long as you fork over the dough.

Some people who want to add content to their blogs and sites just go on a copy and paste adventure, not even attempting to change a word or even scrape from a site or two. They actually think it’s okay to take all of the content they need from your site and add it to theirs because either they are new and uninformed or this is what some so called “Guru” has taught them. This isn’t the way and it’s far from okay.

Time for a change.

If you are doing this, it has to stop NOW. There is a much better way. Using PLR is an ethical way to get the content you need without having to shell out the big bucks.

With quality PLR being so affordable there is really no excuse to steal. When I say affordable I don’t mean PLR that you might pay five bucks for and get 1000 articles because most times that stuff is barely readable. If you aren’t skilled in article writing  or rewriting or if you are short on time, you will be in the same exact boat as if you needed to write all the articles yourself.  Don’t waste your time.

Some are reluctant to use anything that isn’t free.

Some are die hard freebie seekers and that’s okay too. I used to be one. If it wasn’t free I wasn’t interested. I didn’t understand why people paid to host their own sites or why they paid to learn. If you feel that way right now, I’m not going to tell you that you are wrong because it’s your business, blog or site and you have every right to run it the way you want to.

You could use free reprint articles from various article directories to fill out your blog and as content for your reports and autoresponders. You can still get great content this way, depending on who the author of the article is, but you can’t edit it and you must leave the bio box (the part of the article that advertises the writer of the article with a link of their choice) intact. If you don’t mind directing your traffic somewhere else than this is a viable solution for you.

What I personally learned the hard way is that I needed to invest in my business, sites or anything else I do, as much as I possibly and reasonably can. By doing this I reap benefits that it would take me longer to get, doing things the hard way. You do get what you pay for and this is just the way I choose to run my business. Paid services make it easier to do things that would require much manual labor. PLR is no different. It makes the writing and content gathering load so might lighter for many.

Does PLR product cookie cutter sites only?

Though many people directly copy and paste the articles without changing the titles, you don’t have to. You can use PLR and still have an original site. When you purchase PLR you get the right to edit it as you see fit and that means that you can end up with a different article than someone else once you add “YOU” to the equation by adding your thoughts and feelings, quotes, statistics, switching up sentences, paragraphs or even turning text into a PDF report, audio or video. Breathe “YOU” into the content if you want unique.

You can also add photos and videos that compliment your articles too.  You don’t even have to use the title the article came with. Change the titles to interesting titles while still keeping the main keywords.

You really are only limited by your own creativity when it comes to using PLR. With quality PLR the hardest part is already done for you. How do you feel about PLR? I’d love to get your opinion, leave a comment with your 2 cents.
