PLR - Some Personal Experience
I’ve been talking about PLR a lot these past few days, but what about my own personal experience with PLR? Certainly results speak louder than words. Well, even though I am a writer and create most of my own products, I have, from time to time, used PLR material when I knew it was good and knew it would help me in the long run. I’m going to share a few of my uses with you today.
My first experience with PLR came in the form of a book on article writing. I was actually doing some research on the subject because I wanted to see if the ideas on the Internet jived with my own, since I had been writing offline for over 25 years.
Well, the book I found was well written. So well written that I used it as the basis for my new book on article writing. I added a few of my own ideas and put it out. This did two things.
The first was that it allowed me to make some sales without having to put a lot of work in.
The second was more subtle. See, I knew there was a lot I wanted to add to the book, but I also knew it was going to take me some time to do this. So having the book out there gave me time to create my second version and still make money at the same time.
Eventually, I replaced the PLR product with my own totally original product. But it had served its purpose. It made me money and bought me some time, AND it gave me some inspiration.
My second experience with PLR was a health related book. I’m going to keep the actual book under wraps because I don’t want to expose my other niche which I promote in under a pseudonym.
The book I got was very well written but I knew that since it was PLR, I had to rewrite it slightly. So I did and put it out under my name. The book has made me several thousand dollars with just a little bit of promotion.
My last experience with PLR to date was an autoresponder series that I bought for another niche. It doesn’t make me money directly, but it’s excellent content that I can use to give to my list and then in turn, they become buyers because of it. So it indirectly makes me an income.
Granted, it’s not a lot of material that I have used. As I said, I do most of my own writing. However, the few times I have used PLR, they have always produced me an income either directly or indirectly.
Point is, my own personal experience with PLR shows that IF you get PLR that is good to begin with and IF you know what to do with it, you can make a nice income from it without a lot of work. As a member of a forum I attend said in one of his posts, and I am paraphrasing, “All those who dismiss PLR as a viable means of income generation, it’s just more easy money for me.”
It is SO true.
To YOUR PLR Success,
