Private Label Rights is written content that you purchase from
individuals that you can sell to other individuals. You may have great
marketing skills but be unable to write. Another person may have
terrible marketing skills but be able to write. By purchasing their
content, you can use it to market your own product. In some cases,
as in the case of e-books, the private label rights are the actual
product that you are marketing to others.
You may have seen the term “PLR” and wondered what it meant. This
is private label rights and usually refers to articles or e-books. The
concept of private label rights have really made niche in the internet
marketing world.
The point of purchasing private label rights is to enable you to be rewrite
the content over and over again. You can put a different spin on
each writing. You can thus sell it to other individuals. It can be
modified or used as is.
You have to be careful, however, when buying private label rights.
There are different types of rights that you can buy for the product
which we will be discussing later on. In some instances, the original
creator of the content will not allow you to change anything. This can
be a problem for you as you will be stuck with a product that has been
pretty much everywhere and cannot be changed.
Private label rights come in a variety of formats. The most common
are those that are in the .doc format, which is short for “document.”
Also common formats are .rtf (rich text format) and .txt (text format).
You can discover the type of format by looking at the three letters
after the dot.
Doc and Rtf files usually indicate that the content was written using
Microsoft Word. Notepad or Wordpad will give a Txt file. You can
specify what type of file you prefer to the person who produces the
content. You can also cut and paste and put the content into a
different type of file. Many people like to check the content out in the
document format because you can easily do a spell check. Work with
whatever program you find easiest.
You can put your name as the author of the book if you have
purchased these rights. You can also put down a pen name, if you so
choose. Many people create pen names such as “Dr. Smith.” to give
an indication that they are a doctor. This is perfectly legal, however,
you cannot put “MD” after your name and attempt to certify that you
are a medical doctor.
You should read the book and edit it according to how you see fit.
Remember that most people read at the third grade education level.
Take a look at a newspaper and see the type of words that are used in
this media. Eliminate difficult words that most people do not
understand. Remember that you want to sell this product to the
masses and in order to do so, it has to appeal to the masses and be
easy to read.
Why change the content? Because you may be one of several who has
purchased the same content. This is particularly true when it comes to
using articles on websites. The same article can be sold hundreds of
times by the same author. If you want your article to stand out on
your website, you have to change the words around. Unless, of
course, you have exclusive rights to the private label content.
In some cases, the seller has a limit on how many times they can sell
the content. In such cases, this makes the content more valuable.
The least amount of times the seller sells the content, the better off
you are. You still need to change things around, however, just to
make your content original.
If you and many others have the same content on your websites, this
can over burden the search engines and they will not pick up the
content. This makes the content that you purchased utterly useless.
This is why it is so important to rewrite as much as you can after you
purchase private label content. You do not want your competitors to
offer the same content as you on their websites. Again, the more
original the content, the more value.
Read the content carefully and then make sure that you add some new
twists so that it stands out even more. Have you ever read a book and
thought about different things that you would have written or said if
you wrote the book? This is your chance. Take your PLR content and
make it your own. Spice it up a bit and make it more interesting to
the reader. Make sure that you use easy to understand language,
personalize it, add some humor if possible, and make if a fun read.
You will get a lot more response with a cleverly written article or ebook
than one that reads like an encyclopedia entry.
Are you good at writing headlines? This is an art form unto itself. You
want to be sure to make the headline as catchy as possible so that it
grabs the reader’s attention right then and there. You do not have a
lot of time to really get the attention of someone on the internet so
snappy headlines are crucial to draw people to your website or
product. If necessary, hire a headline writer to spruce things up for
you in this department.
If you saw the following two books on a shelf, which would you rather
read?
“I Lost 20 Pounds Of Ugly Fat In 20 Days (Without Cutting Off My
Head)”
Or
“How To Lose 20 Pounds in 20 Days.”
Even if the second book is more informative and of better quality,
guess which book people are going to pick up? Yep – the first one.
The humor is going to grab them and above all, it’s something
different. How many diet books are out there that promise to make
you lose weight in a certain amount of time? Countless. How many
add humor to the whole experience? Few and far between.
Grab them with a good title and the rest will go like a piece of cake.
