How You Can Turn PLR Material into Original Content
If you are developing a website you are aware of the need of filling it up with original useful content. The more content that your site has the better that both visitors to the site and Google will receive it. It will help to establish you as an authority in your chosen niche. The producing of this content can often be a daunting task.
Types of PLR Products
Purists often frown upon the use of PLR. This probably due to the many people who purchase it and then use it without changing a word. The other knock on PLR material is that it can be of extremely poor quality. However if one searches carefully it is possible to find well-written high quality PLR products. Not all PLR material should be tarred with the same brush. There are many excellent writers out there who use their skills to create this material for others to use.
Although we have been discussing written material, PLR is also available in other forms. It is possible to purchase PLR videos and audio productions. Just like the written items the quality can vary from provider to provider.
What to Do With PLR Material
Once you have found some high quality materials, how can you use these productions to your best advantage? The very best idea is to use them as a research resource. Take the ideas presented in the material and rewrite them in your own words. One of the time consuming tasks in producing content is the research necessary. In purchasing PLR products this has been done for you. You can then embellish on the ideas in the material or you can take an opposite stance.
A series of articles can be turned into an eBook that can be sold or given as a freebie. An eBook can be a series of articles or a course delivered over several weeks. A report can be turned into a how to product and offered for signing up to your list. A series of articles, email autoresponders, reports, or eBooks can all be turned into a Power Point video. The video can then be turned into an audio product.
Make PLR Your Own Production
Almost every report on how to use PLR suggests that you should just alter it a little. They suggest you change the title, the introduction, and the conclusion. They recommend you go through and change the keywords to suit your niche. For example if the keyword that you are targeting is weight loss and the PLR uses the term dieting you can just swap out the words. By altering the original by only 20 percent that is considered sufficient to make it your own.
On the other hand if you truly want to have original content it is better to buy several PLR products about the same subject and using the points in each as your research material. Then you can rewrite it. You can use it for a Power Point video. Or you can talk to your bullet points that you have taken from these resource articles and make a podcast. You can use the material as a course and with the different approaches to the subject added to your own it give a fresh take on the subject.
It does not take that much effort to turn these various affordable PLR products into something that is truly of your own creation.

I like using PLR material as a list building technique. Compile 10 articles into an ebook or give them away separately over the course of 10 weeks to new subscribers.

Hmmm, how about getting a high quality PLR, and having it rewritten? The benefits of outsourcing your PLR, assuming you outsource it to the right person, will be high quality content, maybe even better than the original. Plus, it should save you time. You can cut up the material into several, more in depth articles about the selected topic? Anyway, it’s just a thought.
Thank you for your post, Pat. It made me think about something.

That is a great idea to take your PLR and outsource it to a writer. You will then have original content to use. You can check on your writer by running it through copyscape.

Pat,
Thank you for writing a great article on PLR. I am familiar with it but have never used it, yet.
Lebron, thanks for a great idea on creating a ebook. I have a new blog and have almost 10 more articles saved up to publish. I think I will turn them into my first ebook. Thanks!

Hi James;
When you use the PLR for an eBook do you rewrite any of it? Do you have a favorite source for PLR?

Hi Pat! As someone who is just starting to get into expanding my online presence (setting up my own blog and website)…I appreciate reading articles that provide tips on how to create compelling content withot having to re-create the wheel.
I know this may seem like a silly question but what does PLR stand for? Thanks in advance for the helpful response!

Hi Dana;
No it is not a stupid question. It took me a long time to figure out what people were talking about when they used PLR. It stands for Private Label Rights. It is material that is offer for sale to many buyers. Different suppliers of this material have different rules as to how you may use it; but generally once you buy it you may do just about anything with it except resell it as PLR material. You can post it your blog, you can combine a number of these articles into an eBook or if you have purchased a PLR eBook you can break it up into articles, you can use it as email messages, you can make a video from it, or you can make a course from it etc. Although you can use it just as is it is advisable as per the above article to rework it into your original product.

Good material should have its equival cost, because it represents very specific material, and described knowledge should provide you a profit in the future, like any knowledge.

Hi Pat,
Excellent article on PLR! Yes, you need quality PLR and yes, you should change it to some extent. There are two ways to go regarding “changing” it – either rewrite it or simply ADD to it.
Adding to it isn’t too hard. For example, if there are 7 bullet points then add a few more, or take those 7 bullet points and explain them in more detail with examples. Adding to a PLR ebook might be adding an additional chapter, adding brief case studies and adding graphic images including screenshots.
The advantage of using PLR is the research has been done for you already. It’s like Playdoh; you just have to take it and shape it into the thing you want it to be.
Thanks, Pat.

Thanks for an excellent addition to the conversation about PLR. If you are in the habit of writing articles you will be aware that doing the research is usually the most time consuming part of the writing. To have it already done for you allows you to churn out new information much quicker.
Thanks
