Let's get started...

 "$$$$ With PLR Articles"

Found some?  Ready?...

1. Load articles into an autoresponder.

You already know you need to load up an autoresponder series as a way to automatically build a relationship with your readers.  PLR articles make this task easily.  While you should consider loading at least seven to twelve articles into your series, you can also put your business on autopilot by loading 52 articles into the series – one per week. That’s a full year’s worth of content that you can use to build a relationship, help you close sales, and so on.

Autoresponders have stacks of uses and you'll find it hard to be a success online without one.  If you're wanting to run a business online, then don't use one of the free ones that put ads on your marketing.  We use aWeber.

N.B. Make sure you use “evergreen” content if you're going to plan this far ahead.  In other words, use content that’s always relevant and timeless.

2. Use the article content to create regular newsletters.

You don’t need to use all your PLR content in your autoresponder. You can also use PLR articles for real-time broadcasts to your entire list.  And since you’re blasting it out live, you don’t even need to worry about it being “evergreen” content.

For best results, weave affiliate links – or links to your own products and services – into this content.

3. Use the content on your blog.

You can get your blog off to a good start by populating it with PLR content. Then you can keep your blog going by posting PLR articles once or twice a week. In fact, if you’re using a blog platform that allows you to autopost, then you can load it up any time you want and the software will post it for you once or twice a week.

Since blog posts can be short – even as small as a couple of hundred words – you can easily take one good PLR article, chop it in half, and create two blog posts.

4. Create offline newsletters using PLR articles.

Many marketers use PLR articles to help create their autoresponder series or their online newsletter. However, PLR content can also be used to create an offline newsletter – either free or paid.

5. Use PLR articles as the basis for your research.

I’m sure you’ve seen it before:  PLR articles that are written so horribly that they are difficult to read.  Obviously, they were written by someone whose first language is not English. While they might pull in search engine traffic, you know that any human who reads these types of articles will hit the back button or just leave your site.

Worse yet, sometimes you run into PLR articles that are beautifully written – but you can’t use them.  The problem is that when you run them through CopyScape.com, you find out that they’re plagiarized. That opens you up to copyright infringement and intellectual property lawsuits.

Obviously, you can't use these articles as-is. But does that mean you wasted your money buying these PLR articles?  Not necessarily.  If the articles are well researched and the content is good, then you can use them as the basis for your own research to write completely new articles.

Think about it: researching for your website, your eBook or your articles, usually takes more time than writing it.  So if you have a well-researched article in front of you, all you need to do is totally rewrite it to create a completely original (yet factual) article.  In other words, don’t despair the next time you buy dirt-cheap PLR articles only to find out they’re cheap because they’re poor quality.  Just consider that it's reduced your research time.  And make a note of where you got them... so you don't make the same mistake twice!

6. Add affiliate links to articles and submit to article directories.

Here’s an easy way to make money from PLR articles. Simply go to Clickbank.com or any other site with an affiliate program.  Find a best selling product.  (Clickbank in particular makes this easy to do, since they list their hottest products at the top of each category.)

Next, find PLR articles closely related to the same topic of the affiliate product.  Rewrite the content, as most article directories won’t accept PLR articles or duplicate content.  As you rewrite, insert your affiliate links into the article.

It’s also a good idea to rewrite it around one or two keywords that your market will use to find your article.  Use WordTracker.com (or your favorite keyword tool) to determine what longtail keywords get traffic, but also have very little competition in the search engines.

Finally, submit your rewritten PLR articles to article directories like TheArticleCollection.com (that have good quality article packages for sale too) and  EzineArticles.com.  Always include a resource box at the end of the article to point people to your website.  Your website should encourage people to get on your mailing list.  Use a squeeze page as the address in your resource box.

7. Use PLR articles as search engine food.

Instead of merely posting PLR content on your blog as mentioned in strategy #3, you can rewrite it around your niche keywords and then post it. That way these articles will not only serve as “sticky” content to draw visitors back again and again, you’ll also pull in new search engine traffic.

8. Create a content-rich site - and sell it!

That’s right... you can use your PLR articles to create a content-rich site based around a particular niche.  Then you can monetize the site by adding AdSense to the site or adding affiliate links to the content (or both).

Usually you might then start working on promoting the site, such as tweaking your content around longtail keywords to bring in search engine traffic, using article marketing, using  expired domains that are already bringing in traffic, or similar traffic generation strategies.  However, your other option is to simply sell the site outright to another marketer on eBay, DigitalPoint forums, or a similar marketplace.

You also have two options. You can either create one site – with a domain name and everything – and sell the site and domain name.  Alternatively, you can sell the site template (design) and all of its content to multiple buyers as an “out of the box” solution. Major N.B. Some PLR licenses may not allow you to resell the content, even if it’s part of an overall site. This is especially true if you’re selling it to multiple buyers.  You need to look for PLR content that includes transferable rights.

9. Create a content-rich site – and keep it.

Of course you can create a content-rich niche website as described in No. 8.  But choose not to sell it. Instead, keep adding content to it, keep promoting it, and keep monetizing it with more products of your own and other affiliate banners in the same niche, and keep all the profits for yourself.

10. Create a site using PLR and sell advertising.

Another way to monetize a content site is to insert advertising links or AdSense on the site. Yet another way is to sell advertising on the site. You may sell text ads or banner ads. If your site has a high Google page rank, many advertisers will be content to merely buy a link as a means to get the benefits of your high page rank.

11. Run a membership site.

Membership sites are good profit models, because of the residual income. However, generally membership sites are also tedious to maintain, simply because you need to constantly be creating and uploading new content. 

That’s where PLR articles come in. No more struggling to brainstorm your next topic. No more spending days creating the content.  Tweak PLR articles and upload it to your site. Now membership maintenance only takes a couple of hours instead of days (or weeks)!

12. Pull in foreign search engine traffic.

Are you bilingual? Or do you know a good translator?  If so, you can translate your PLR articles into foreign languages. As usual, pay particular attention to one or two keywords in each article. Then upload to your site and watch the traffic start coming in.  (It’s best if you have products – your own or affiliate products – available in this same language.)

13. Turn PLR articles into an online course.

An alternative to offering a regular ebook is to offer an online course. You can send each lesson directly via an autoresponder, or you can merely send the link to a downloadable PDF.  Either way, PLR articles can be used to create the online course. Best of all, you can either offer a free course as a lead generator, or offer the content as a paid product.

14. Use PLR articles as the basis for a teleseminar series.

Just because your PLR articles are in text form doesn’t mean the content needs to be delivered strictly in a text format. (You’ll discover other non-text uses for PLR articles in later posts.)  Here’s an idea: use your PLR articles as the basis for a teleseminar series.  You can give a presentation based on one or more articles, and then open the phone lines for questions. Or, you can have a friend interview you based on the content and you can give your answers straight from your articles.

It’s two products (free or paid) in one. First, you can give access to the live teleseminars. Second, you’ll have the recordings to sell or give away to others.

15. Use articles to create content for others.

If you have a writing business, you can use PLR articles to create content for others.  Since you need to provide unique content to your clients, partial rewrites won’t do.  However, good PLR can save you a lot of time in the research department.

You may also take on clients who can’t pay as much by offering to use PLR content as a base for their content. They get something that’s nearly 100% original (yet they don’t have to pay full fees), and you get paying clients.  It’s a win-win situation.

Note: you should only use PLR content as a base with prior approval from your clients. Otherwise you’re likely to ruin your reputation if they discover that you’re not giving them unique content.

16. Use PLR content to post answers on Yahoo Answers.

One way to get valuable backlinks to your site (for search engine optimization purposes) is to post answers on YahooAnswers.

Since it can be tedious to create “fresh” answers for every question related to your niche, you can use PLR articles instead.  Ideally the full article should be posted on your website. That way you can simply post your own site as the source of your information.

17. Use PLR articles to post comments on other people’s blogs.

Just as you can use PLR articles to post on Yahoo Answers (No. 16), you can also use it to post relevant comments on other people’s blogs. Then leave your backlink to get human traffic and – if the blog allows search engines to follow links – the benefit of a one-way link for search engine optimization purposes.

Be sure the content you use is relevant, however. And in general, you don’t want to post entire articles. Instead, post a portion of the article that’s relevant to what’s being discussed.  You can then link to the entire article that’s posted on your own blog.  More traffic!

18. Use as content to post answers on forums.

Now you can do this one of two ways. On forums that encourage people to post articles, you can post all or part of an article – particularly if you add your own comments about the article. If you add something controversial, you’re likely to spark a debate (and that can be a good thing).  Some forum owners frown on this, however. They’d rather people have natural conversations rather than post articles. In particular, new members of a forum are likely to get their hands slapped for posting “drive by” articles.  Or banned!  So the first rule of using forums for your marketing... check the individual rules first.

If you run into a forum that discourages posting articles, then use your PLR to help you brainstorm topics to post about on forums – but don’t necessarily post the articles themselves (at least not in a transparent way).  On the other hand, some forums have specific sections where you’re allowed to post full articles. In those cases, consider posting a few along with a byline.

Another way to use PLR content on forums is to use it to answer other people’s posts. Here you may post part of an article, along with a link to the full article that’s posted on your blog.

N.B. Most forum owners prefer if you answer the question in its entirety on the forum – so you don’t want to just post a line or two with a link.  Instead, post a complete answer with a link for those seeking more information.  Tip: you can pay other people to post these articles or article snippets. Post a project on elance.com to find freelancers willing to do this work for you.

19. Use PLR articles to create Squidoo pages.

Plenty of savvy marketers set up Squidoo pages (AKA lenses) around specific niche topics. You can do the same using PLR articles to create the lens. You may want to rewrite some of the content around specific keywords. Then add interactive features, affiliate links, and links to drive traffic back to your own site.

20. Use PLR content to create Squidoo lenses – then SELL the lenses.

Here you set up a lens as described in #19 above. However, instead of keeping it yourself, you sell it immediately to someone else. It’s a quick and easy way to make a nice chunk of change.

Note: Check your PLR license to be sure this is allowable. To be safe, find content that comes with transferable rights.

21. Use PLR articles as content on social networking sites.

Social networking sites like MySpace are great places to network with like-minded people, build a list of “friends” in your niche, and more.  However, in order for your social networking page to be truly effective, you should regularly update it. Usually this means posting frequently to your site-sponsored blog.

Now if you’re maintaining your own site and other blogs, the thought of maintaining yet another blog might sound like a lot of work. It’s not – especially if you use PLR articles to create your blog.

22. Use PLR articles to populate your own forum.

If you’re just starting a forum in your niche, you already know the “chicken and the egg” problem. Specifically, you need people to start posting in the forum to get it going with some good content.  And yet most people don’t want to post in a forum that doesn’t already have lots of posts and content.

The solution? You need to populate the forum with good content to encourage others to start posting. And to do that, you can use PLR articles to spark discussion. Either get your friends to post these articles for you, or ask them to join the discussion on the threads where you’ve posted the articles.  Either way, in no time at all you’ll have a thriving forum full of good content!

23. Offer your affiliates PLR articles to help promote your products and services.

If you want to encourage your affiliates to promote your wares, it’s a good idea to have a full suite of content to help them do so, including banner ads, text ads, newsletter ads, solo ads, PPC ads, and so on.

However, you should also give them relevant articles they can rebrand with their affiliate links and load into their autoresponders and on their blogs. To make it easy on yourself, you can offer them PLR articles to do just that.

24. Tweak PLR articles and sell them.

You already know that you can sell PLR articles to niche marketers who are desperately seeking solutions.  However, here’s another idea: rewrite the articles and sell them to newspapers, magazines, and other paying markets. You can find these markets by getting a copy of the yearly “Writer’s Market” publications.

25. Use PLR articles as a basis to create an “advertorial.”

An advertorial is an advertisement that’s made to look like an article. Because it looks like a newspaper or magazine article, it tends to get read more often than a regular ad.  After all, most of us have trained ourselves to ignore advertisements. So the less your ad looks like an ad, the better response you get.

Flip through any magazine or newspaper, and you’ll see plenty examples of advertorials.  Study how a sales pitch is woven into solid content, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of how you can use your PLR articles to create advertorials.

26. Use PLR articles as a basis to create a press release.

Just as you can use PLR articles to create advertorials, you can also use them to create press releases. The difference, however, is that the “advertising” component of a press release is even more subtle.  Typically press releases point readers to your site for more information. If you pitch anything in your press release, the newspaper editor will probably pitch your release straight into the garbage.  If you address "who, what, where, when, why" in your release, you've got it covered.

27. Use PLR articles to create offline flyers.

One way to advertise your business offline is to create advertising flyers that you hang on bulletin boards at related businesses or elsewhere around your city. You could also do a joint venture with business owners to insert your flyers into customer shopping bags. Or, where allowed, you can hand flyers out on the street.

Most people create their flyer by creating a regular ad. You know what happens with these sorts of flyers... the majority get thrown into the trash and promptly forgotten.  However, you can make your flyer more valuable to prospects simply by turning it into an advertorial that includes solid information to help them solve their problems. And of course you can use your PLR articles to create these advertorials.  The end result? Your prospects will take your flyer with them and act on it.

28. Use articles as the basis to create an interactive survey, quiz, petition or similar.

One way to engage prospects online is to get them interactive. And a good way to get them interactive is to have them take a quiz, fill out a survey, or sign a petition.  Naturally, you can get the content to create these interactive features by turning to your PLR articles.

These sorts of interactive features work particularly well on sites where commercial activity isn’t allowed or at least not encouraged. For example, you can ask your MySpace friends or your friends on a niche forum to take a quiz.

So how do you monetize these interactive features?  One way is to ask people to submit their name and email address in order to participate.  However, you’ll need to offer them something else (a bribe, if you will) to encourage them to do that.

An alternative isn’t to force them to sign up for your newsletter, but rather ask them to.  Again, offer them a compelling reason to do so, such as a free report (which can also be derived from PLR content).

Finally, place AdSense ads, text links, or banner ads around your interactive features to help monetize that page.

29. Create your own niche article directory.

Here’s an idea: instead of submitting your modified PLR articles to article directories, you can create your own niche-specific article directory.  You can populate the directory by submitting dozens of your own articles. Then you can ask other webmasters to submit their articles, too.

What you do after that point is your decision. You can keep running the article directory and keep all the profit, or you can sell this established, content-rich site on eBay, the DigitalPoint forums, or anywhere else websites are commonly sold.

30. Combine your PLR articles with other PLR articles to create an ebook.

You can use one or more articles to create chapters for a report or ebook.  Put together just 20 articles, and you’ll instantly have a report of around 10,000 words.  So what should you do with this report or ebook?   Check out "Making Money With PLR EBooks" below.  You'll enjoy dozens of strategies to profit from your PLR ebooks.

31. Put the information to use.

In addition to selling or giving away the information, PLR articles are also personally valuable to you if you’re interested in the topic.  Don’t forget to use the information in your business or personal life.

"$$$$ With PLR Reports & eBooks"

Okay... you've grabbed what you need.  Let's get started...

Some of the following strategies are going to take you a little while to put into action.  Think about going through just two of these strategies each week, so you don't become overwhelmed and do none!  Done properly, these will really work for you... go ahead... get started.

1. Combine your same subject PLR ebooks to make an entirely new ebook.

It’s a great idea to modify your PLR ebooks so that your content is at least inpart original.  To accomplish this, most marketers rewrite their PLR content. However, there’s another way. Instead of totally rewriting, you can simply copy and paste two or more related ebooks together. Indeed, this method can be even quicker than seriously rewriting content.  Where re-writing an ebook might take you days, copying and pasting chapters from multiple ebooks may take you as little as a couple of hours.

You don’t have to use every chapter from every ebook – and in fact, consider not doing so. Instead, use a couple of chapters from one PLR ebook, a couple of chapters from another PLR ebook, and so on.  You can even throw a few PLR articles into the mix to make your ebook a truly original creation.

Do this, and you can be assured that no one on the market is selling (or giving away) a product exactly like your ebook.

2. Use your PLR ebook as a lead generator on your website.

If you’re not already building a prospect list, you should be.  After all, most prospects won’t buy the first time they see your advertising or your site. Your newsletter then serves as a tool to expose your prospect to your products multiple times, while allowing you to build a relationship with them.

So... you need to put up a squeeze page or otherwise encourage all prospective customers to join your list.  One of the best ways to do this is to offer a highly relevant and valuable freebie (a “bribe”) as a bonus for joining your newsletter list.  If you're not at the stage of producing your own freebies as yet, go join the free Gold Membership at GiveawayVault.com and see if there's one of the hundreds of free products there that would appeal to your target market.  There's a new gift for members each week.

Some marketers use any old PLR content they have laying around to create this freebie. What you should offer is high quality guides, reports, ebooks, graphics, templates or software as freebies.  That way your prospects will think, “Wow, if they offers this for free, just imagine what their paid products must be like!”

3. Use PLR ebooks as lead generators on eBay.

eBay made changes to their auction policies a while ago, to make it clear that they didn’t want people selling downloadable information products any longer.  For many marketers, that was the end of using eBay as a lead generator.

However, that sort of attitude is entirely short-sighted. Instead of selling downloadable products on eBay, you can ship ebooks on CDs, or you can create physical books using Lulu.com or similar.

You can price these physical products so you make a profit.  However, for this strategy we’re focusing on generating leads.  That means you need to price these products as low as possible.  As such, you may want to charge a penny or cent for the book, and then charge the bare minimum to cover your shipping expenses.

If the ebook is doing a good job of converting prospects to customers, do your sums and consider absorbing the shipping and duplication costs, as you’ll know you’ll make it back on via your backend marketing system.

Note: There are two ways to generate backend income from these PLR ebooks.  First, you can use follow up emails or postcards to contact your buyers to encourage them to purchase more products (and more expensive products) from you.  Second, your PLR ebook should include links to your own and to other affiliate products.  Every time someone clicks on those links and buys, you make a profit.

4. Turn your PLR ebooks into physical products you sell on your site.

As mentioned in the previous strategy, you don’t have to sell your PLR products on eBay dirt cheap as lead generators – you CAN turn them into physical products and sell them for a profit.  Likewise, you can sell these same physical products right from your website.

One way is to put your ebook on a CD and ship it. Another way that’s completely hands off is to load your PLR ebook onto Lulu.com.  They have all the tools you need to create a physical book, including cover templates.  And best of all, they handle collecting payment, printing the book, and shipping it out – as mentioned, it’s a completely hands off system for you. All you have to do is promote and enjoy your money.

5. Turn PLR ebooks into audio or video products.

Just because your PLR ebooks are in text format doesn’t mean they need to stay in text format. Indeed, one way to increase the perceived value of your product is to turn it into an audio or video product. A well-researched PLR ebook gives you plenty of content to create videos or audios.

You can give these new products away as freebies, add them to your existing products as bonuses, or use them as backend products.  If your PLR license allows you to transfer the rights, you can even sell resell rights or master resell rights to your video and audio products.

6. Use a PLR ebook as the basis for creating a video that you submit to YouTube.

Instead of making money selling a video product, you can use your PLR ebooks to create videos that you submit to YouTube. 

Ideally they should be either extremely useful videos, or extremely controversial (to get more views). Either way, be sure to include your URL multiple times in the video, and give people a compelling reason to visit your site.

Now... that's going to keep you out of mischief for a while!

7. Turn PLR ebook into a video or audio tool for your affiliates.

Motivate your affiliates by giving them plenty of marketing tools and content that they can rebrand.   So, another use for the PLR-based videos and audios is to give them to your affiliates to help them promote your products and services.

Since rebranding videos and audios must be done manually, it tends to be time consuming. 

The best way to allow affiliates to give them to their subscribers is by pointing their affiliate links towards the audio or video. Ideally, you should present a squeeze page before the audio or video. This builds your list of prospects, while also helping you close the sale on behalf of your affiliate.

Tip: Offering affiliates the opportunity to use their affiliate links to send visitors to your audio or video is a particularly good pre-launch sales tactic.  Try it.

8. Give your PLR-based audio or video away as a freebie on your site.

Even if you don’t have affiliates promoting your products, you can still use the tip in No. 7.  Simply ask prospects to exchange their email address for a valuable freebie.

Instead of the typical ebook, they get a video or audio instead (which you created using a PLR ebook). These sorts of freebies tend to have a higher perceived value, and they're well worth devoting quite some time to get them right.

9. Use PLR ebooks as lead generators in newspaper advertisements.

If you’ve ever advertised in a print publication such as a newspaper – and especially the classified ads – then you already know this sort of advertising is a two-step process. You see, there’s simply not enough room in a classified ad to sell a product, so you shouldn’t even try. Instead, your advertisement’s job is to get prospects to step forward and say, “I’m interested.”

How do you do that?  Simple: by offering a compelling freebie such as a free report that’s highly relevant and interesting to your tightly focused niche market.

Of course you can send prospects to a website, where they enter their name and email address and instantly receive their free report.  However, the traditional method also still works.  If it suits your target market, which is a local one to your country, you could ask prospects to send a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to you.

When you receive these requests, send the free report back to the prospect in their SASE. Then you can add their names and addresses to your database so that you can send them postcards or other mailers.

Your PLR report will also include links or advertisements for mail order products.  If you’re using good content that has relevant pitches woven into the report, you should make money on the backend whenever someone purchases a product you recommended in your report.

10. Turn your PLR ebooks into viral products.

Another good strategy to monetize PLR ebooks is to rewrite them, add something controversial, add your links or affiliate links into the ebook, and then distribute around the Internet for free. You may post it on niche forums, other people’s blogs (where allowed), and anywhere else that you’re allowed to distribute free ebooks.

Notice I suggested adding something controversial. The reason is because you need to give people a reason to pass the ebook to their friends. While solid content helps you do that too, something controversial seems to light a fire under people. The next thing you know, people are posting the link to the ebook on forums and telling others, “you will not believe what this dude said!”

The more controversial, the more likely it is that your product will truly go viral. Sometimes humor works too. Use your judgement, as controversy and humor aren’t good fits for every niche.

You make money whenever someone clicks on and buys from a link inside your ebook. You should also be directing the ebook’s readers to your site, where they can join your newsletter list.

Tip:  Never post a direct affiliate link in your ebook. Instead, use a link from your own domain that redirects to your affiliate link. That way if something should ever happen to the affiliate program, you don’t have thousands of ebooks floating around in cyberspace with dead links.  All you have to do is change the redirect link from one affiliate product to a different product.

11. Allow others to rebrand the PLR ebook and give it away.

This one is simple but works great – either as a stand-alone strategy, or in conjunction with some of the other strategies we’ve already talked about. Here’s the idea.  Take one of your well-written PLR ebooks and tweak as needed. Ideally, you should choose a PLR ebook that’s highly relevant to your own products or services. Then weave into this content links to your site.

Tip:  If you’re counting on this ebook really “going viral,” then try to add controversy (as described above) where ever possible.

Next, get a software product that allows people who download your ebook to quickly and easily rebrand the ebook with their affiliate links for your product.  One such tool is ViralPDF.com. (You’ll find similar tools if you run a search for “PDF rebrander” or similar.)

Finally, get this ebook into the hands of as many people as possible, and let them know they can make money by rebranding it with their affiliate links and posting it on their blogs, on  forums, giving it to their newsletter readers, and so on.  Of course, you should also give this rebrandable ebook directly to your existing affiliates so they can start making money immediately.

12. Use your PLR ebook as a bonus ebook alongside your main product.

Sometimes we get so excited about launching our products that it’s not until very near the launch date when we realize we don’t have any bonuses to offer our buyers. 

The solution? Use PLR ebooks as bonuses for your buyers. You can offer the ebooks as is, slightly rewritten, or in different formats (such as audio or video products).  Indeed, using PLR ebooks as bonus products is a good strategy to use any time – not just when you’re under a rapidly approaching launch date deadline.

13. Use PLR ebooks as unannounced bonuses for existing customers.

One way to help quell buyer’s remorse and reduce refunds is to offer unannounced bonuses to surprise and delight your customers.  Another way to reduce refunds is to offer timed bonuses.  For example, you release a new bonus product every week, right through the refund period and beyond.

If your clients are loving the bonuses, asking for a refund shouldn't enter their heads!

PLR ebooks make great unannounced bonuses either way.  For best results, modify your PLR ebooks so that you’re giving your customers fairly original content.

14. Use PLR ebooks as unannounced freebies for regular newsletter subscribers.

Of course your paying customers needn’t be the only ones to get unannounced bonuses (although certainly your paying customers should get your BEST bonuses).  That means you can take your PLR ebooks, tweak them slightly, and offer them from time to time to your regular newsletter subscribers.

In particular, offer these unannounced freebies at the beginning of your autoresponder series. So for example, you can offer these freebies in the first few weeks or the first month. After that, you can offer them a few times a year.  Doing so helps build your relationship with your subscribers. It also trains them to eagerly open every single newsletter you send. Of course you’ll notice that I didn’t say you should give these freebies regularly for as long as your subscribers are on your list.

That’s because you want your subscribers to eventually become your customers where they’ll get even BETTER content from you.  Indeed, you should be encouraging your free newsletter subscribers to become paying customers.

15. Repackage a PLR ebook and add it to a giveaway event.

One way to build your mailing list fast is to participate in giveaway events. This is where several marketers come together as joint venture partners, with each of them offering a “free gift” in exchange for email addresses from prospects.

The reason everyone participating can build their list so quickly is because every marketer who participates is required to promote the event to their own list, on their blog, or similar.

Indeed, the marketers who send the most traffic are usually rewarded by having their giveaway product near the top of the list – thus ensuring the highest number of downloads (and subscribers).  And the ones who don't meet minimum requirements in having other people signup for the giveaway... can have their product removed.  No such thing as a free lunch!

Where do you find all these giveaways?  Bookmark Updates.GiveawayVault.com for a daily updated list of every online giveaway.  Never miss another one!

One way for you to easily participate in multiple giveaway events is to give away your PLR ebooks.  However, you should have modified them at least in part, ensuring no one else will be giving away identical content.

16. Put PLR ebooks into your backend marketing funnel.

When you finish your first product in a niche, your mission is to move as quickly as possible to start building your sales funnel so that you can make money selling products on the backend.

In order to do this quickly so they can launch their first product, many marketers sell affiliate products on the backend – at least initially.  Then when they have time to create their own products, they substitute the affiliate products for their own products.

That makes sense, as it’s better to get all the profit selling your own product on the backend, as opposed to a portion of the profit selling someone else’s product.  Of course when you use PLR ebooks as backend products, it becomes a win-win situation for you. Not only can you build your backend line of products extremely quickly, you also get 100% of the profits immediately.

Tip: turn your PLR ebooks into audios or videos to create backend products with higher perceived values and higher price tags.

17. Run a membership site and use your PLR ebooks as monthly content.

This is the same as Strategy #11 in the PLR article chapter, except you’re using PLR ebooks instead.  Indeed, because ebooks have a higher perceived value than articles, giving ebooks to your members increases the perceived value of your site.

If you buy PLR that includes transferable rights, then pass on these rights as well inside your membership site.  That way you’ll get customers who are interested in the ebooks themselves, PLUS you’ll get customers who are interested in the money-making aspect of these ebooks.

18. Translate PLR ebooks into different languages to create new products.

This strategy goes well with Strategy #12 from the chapter on PLR articles, which suggests you translate your articles into foreign languages to pull in foreign-language speaking search engine traffic. 

You can sell your translated PLR ebook to the search engine traffic that comes in on these articles.

If your PLR license allows you to resell rights, and you don't want to go to the trouble of finding someone to translate the ebook, then you can sell the foreign language rights to your PLR ebooks.   You find a marketer who’s willing to get the ebook translated into the language of his choice.  Sell the Italian language rights, then the French and so on.

19. Choose a product you’d like to sell, and use a PLR ebook to promote it.

Here’s a nice way to promote an affiliate product.  First off, find a suitable product to sell by visiting Clickbank.com’s marketplace.  Ideally you should look for products that are already selling well. These are easy to find on Clickbank, since the best selling products are listed at the top of each category in the marketplace.

Tip:  I’m assuming you already have a hungry niche market in mind, and that you just need to find a product to sell to that market. If you don’t already have a hungry market in mind, find one before you do anything else.  If you haven't already researched and decided on your particular niche for your online business... now's the time.  Niche Dynamite shows you exactly how.

It’s much easier to find a hungry market and then figure out what they’re already buying ,as opposed to starting with a product and then trying to figure out who to sell it to. 

After you find the product you’d like to promote, then find one or more PLR ebooks that closely compliment this product without being in direct competition.  Modify the ebooks to make them unique, perhaps by combining two or more ebooks together, rewriting, or otherwise changing the content. Then insert your Clickbank hoplink (affiliate link) for the product you chose.

Finally, all you have to do is get your free report into the hands of as many people as possible. You can give it to your list, post it on your blog, include it in your signature link on forums, mention it in articles that you submit to directories, and more.

Note: if you’d like to make this a viral product, then allow others to rebrand it.  You can do this one of two ways:

1. You can find a two-tier affiliate program, meaning you get a small commission every time someone in your downline sells the product.

2. You can allow other marketers to rebrand the ebook with their own affiliate links. While they get the backend income in the ebook, you’ll get subscribers since you’ll include links to your own site in the ebook.

20. Hold a fire sale using your PLR ebooks.

You can do this in any niche, but check your PLR licence first.  Some do specify "no firesales". 

Simply gather together as many related ebooks as you can, and then sell them all at a ridiculously low amount for a few days to a week. To increase a sense of urgency, you can raise the price every day (by $10, for example), or you can raise it a small amount after each purchase. Either way, a script can handle this automatically for you.

If you’re holding a fire sale in the Internet marketing niche, then ideally you’ll want some of your PLR products to come with transferable rights. That way your buyers can resell the products for a profit.

21. Sell your PLR products with resell rights.

Many PLR licenses do not allow you to transfer rights to the products. If your license comes with transferable rights, then you can tweak your PLR to create original products and sell these new products with resell rights or master resell rights.

Ideally you should rewrite major sections of your PLR ebook to create an ebook with fairly original content. If you have multiple ebooks that include transferable rights, then you can take sections from these multiple ebooks to come up with an entirely new product. You can even take it a step further by creating audio or video products from the PLR ebooks.

Once you have modified it in some way, you can now sell resell rights to this new product. That way you not only make an income in the long-term from selling it to the niche market, but you also make a big profit in the short-term by selling the resell rights to other marketers!

22. Use one or more PLR ebooks as upsell on your order form.

You can use your PLR ebooks to make more money from every customer, simply by adding one or more ebooks as upsells on the order form. You can either add them as “upgrades” to the current product you’re selling, or you can even offer related PLR ebooks as a one time offer (OTO).

Here are just a few examples:

• Offer a related PLR ebook as a traditional upsell.

• Offer a package of PLR ebooks as a one-time-only offer.

• Offer audio or video products based on PLR ebooks as an upsell.

• Offer a live teleconference (based on a PLR ebook) as an upsell.

• Offer a package of physical products (derived from PLR ebooks) as a one-timeoffer.

In addition to offering these at the time of ordering, you can also make similar offers on your thank you/download page.  Always monetize this page.

23. Rework a PLR ebook and submit it to ebook directories.

If you don’t already have a platform or ready-made audience, such as a newsletter list, blog, or high-traffic website, you can still get your free ebook into your prospect’s hands.

How? Simple: by creating an extremely useful, entertaining or even controversial ebook (for viral purposes) and uploading it to all the free ebook directories you can find.

For starters, run a search for “free ebook directories” in Google, and you’ll find dozens if not hundreds of potential places where you can submit your ebook.

Insider’s Tip: Don’t forget to submit your ebook to Lulu.com!  While it’s not exactly considered a free ebook directory, it is a place where you can create an ebook and allow others to download it.  They also give you other promotional tools on the site, such as an author’s page and free blog. Take advantage of these, if nothing else, they give you free oneway links to your site.

24. Use your PLR ebooks to create tips booklets.

You already know that you can chop PLR ebooks into smaller reports to sell or give away, either as hard copies or digital copies. However, here’s a twist: create small “tips booklets” from your PLR ebooks, and then sell these tips booklets in large quantities to businesses as employee training guides or advertising specialties.

You already know what an employee training guide might look like. For example, the tips booklet might be centered around safety in the workplace, sexual harassment, meeting and exceeding sales goals, motivation, or any number of other issues related to a business and sales environment.

But what, exactly, are advertising specialties?  These are small gifts companies send to their good customers as “thank you’ gifts. The key is that these gifts are branded with the company’s logo and advertising. Since these are useful gifts, it makes it more likely that the customer will hang on to the gift.

For example, many companies give away refrigerator magnets, calendars, or even pens to their customers. Indeed, you probably have a calendar or other item in your own home from your electric company, car dealer, insurance agent, or other business.

The idea behind this strategy is to create a useful report that’s highly relevant to a company’s business and then brand this report with the company name and advertising.

For example, you may create a special tips report for car dealers that centers around issues like saving money on car insurance, simple at-home maintenance and repair tips, how to drive in a way that saves gas, and more.  Then the auto dealer can pass along this booklet to all their customers for free.

The bonus for you is that instead of selling one copy to one person at a time, you can sell hundreds or even thousands of booklets at time to a business.  Because you’ll make your money from volume, you should take a small profit per booklet to make the overall price attractive to businesses who might want to buy copies from you.

25. Use your PLR ebooks to create fundraisers for charities.

This idea is basically the same as the above Strategy #24, except in this case you’re creating physical products for charities to resell in their fundraisers.

You’ll be taking a relatively small profit off the price of each copy, but you’ll make it up in volume since you can sell dozens, hundreds or even thousands of copies at a time to a charitable organization.

"How To..." books to do with the home, with cooking or recipes, with things to do with leisure, could all be great subjects for you to tackle. 

26. Create a backend income stream using P2P networks.

First, rewrite a PLR ebook, being sure to include relevant affiliate links in the ebook.  Then upload to peer-to-peer file sharing networks such as Kazaa and dozens of similar networks.

Note: Most of these networks are full of pirated ebooks that make any ebooks that appears on the site a bit “forbidden.”  That means there are certain people who are more likely to download your ebook just because they think they’re “getting away with something.”  As such you may not get the most targeted prospects from these sorts of sites, as they may not be interested in purchasing information since they know they can download it for free elsewhere. That means you need to find something they ARE interested in, like ringtones.

If you do decide to check out P2P networks, you'll find a list of file sharing networks at Filesharefreak.com

27. Create a bonus product using PLR ebooks and swap with another marketer.

In a previous strategy we talked about how you can quickly turn PLR ebooks into bonus products. Here’s a twist: trade your bonus products with another marketer. That way you each get a fresh bonus to promote and if you include your links in your bonus, you’ll get a backend income stream, too!

Go find someone that has a great product in your niche, but isn't in direct competition with yours.

28. Use your PLR ebooks as a basis for self-promotional speeches.

Giving speeches to local groups – whether at the Garden Club, the Humane Society, or a Chamber of Commerce meeting – is a great way to promote yourself.

You can easily create speeches simply by basing them off of your relevant PLR ebooks.  Now what club or society are your target market members of?  Yellow pages is a great place to start checking out clubs and societies.

Don't think about charging for your speech.  You're simply going to drum up business for your product.  Be sure to take along a brochure or info booklet to give to each person, which contains your site address.

29. Use PLR ebooks as the basis for a workshop or seminar.

Instead of using your PLR ebooks as the basis for a mere speech, you can create an entire daylong or multiple-day workshop or seminar from the material.

You can also use the material to create Power Point slides as well as worksheet and summaries sheets that you pass around to workshop attendees.

In the last few years conference organizers in the internet field have made vast amounts of money by putting on free-to-attend conferences that are packed with information, but with a high priced product available to attendees at the close of the conference.  Make the numbers of the product or packages limited and watch the rush!  No-one likes missing out.  And if they loved the information you gave away for free... they'll be keen on making a purchase that's going to tell them more.

30. Create short reports to hand out at trade shows.

The next time you rent a booth at a trade show, expo, or similar event, it’s a good idea to have on hand short reports that you can give away to prospects in exchange for their contact information.  PLR ebooks can be used as the basis for these giveaways.

If you encounter some resistance from prospects re their contact information, just give them a copy of the report.  Ensure it contains heaps of relevant information that these prospects will find useful, and all your contact details, including your website address.

31. Use PLR ebooks to help you do JV’s with local businesses.

First use one or more PLR ebooks to create a short report that’s highly relevant to both your business as well as a local business. For example, if you provide dog training information, you could do a JV (joint venture) with a pet supplies store.  Explain to the store owner how it works with him being an affiliate for your product.  How he gets paid when someone purchases something via his affiliate link.

Next, rebrand this short report so that it includes the affiliate links for your new joint venture partner.  Then supply enough of these short reports that the owners and their staff can add to customer shopping bags, leave in the waiting room (where applicable), or posted on their bulletin board for anyone who wants to take one.

Your joint venture partner gets a commission for every customer who buys something through the links in this short report and you get a new customer!

So that the link doesn't look obviously like an affiliate link, you'd need to "cloak it".  You can do that for free at TinyUrl.com

Don't try to manually handle your affiliate accounts and payments.  It will probably get you in all sorts of strife.  And if you can tell your potential jv partners that they can check their affiliate account at any time online... just think how impressed they're going to be.  RapidActionProfits is a highly regarded affiliate management system.

32. Sell your PLR ebooks and give your affiliates 100% of the profits.

Giving your affiliates 100% of the commissions on a product has always been a great way to joint venture with super affiliates.  It’s a win-win situation: you get the customer list and the affiliate gets 100% of the profits.  Indeed, because this is such a winning model, programmers have even developed scripts that quickly and easily allow you to set up 100% commission affiliate programs.

To make it even easier on you, you can create your product from PLR ebooks. To make them original, however, it’s a good idea to rewrite them (at least in part) or combine them with other PLR content.  If it's not a top product, the super affiliates won't be interested in promoting it for you.

33. Use the PLR ebook content for personal reasons.

You don’t have to make a profit from a good PLR ebook in order to find it valuable. If you’re interested in the topic, be sure to apply the information and strategies to your business and your personal life, too.

34. Break your PLR ebooks into articles

And use all the strategies mentioned in the previous “Making Money With PLR Articles” posts.

Quick recap...

So far we've looked at 31 ways of making money with PLR articles and 34 ways to make money with PLR reports, guides and ebooks.

You're going to find that some work better for your particular niche or product, than others do.  One of the tricks to working on the internet... successfully... have a success with something?  Duplicate it!  Yes, before you go on to the next strategy, duplicate the one that just worked so well.  And if you know you're a bit of a scatterbrain... document it for future.

Hope you're enjoying this series.  Let's move on to...

"$$$$ With PLR Software"

Note:  You may need to hire a programmer to tweak the code and interface of your PLR software in order to meet your needs and your customers’ needs.  Go to elance.com, rentacoder.com or warriorforum.com to find a good programmer.

1. Create a membership site using PLR software.

If you’re interested in creating a successful business around a residual income model, then one way to do it is to offer new software products each month in a membership site.  LoginFrequencyMarketing is the membership script that we prefer and use.

And you don’t need to worry about spending thousands of dollars each month getting new software created – instead, you can use PLR software.  For example, you can create a “business tools” membership site that offers software such as article-posting tools, autoresponders, content spinners, accounting software, and the like.

If you purchase PLR software with transferable rights, even better: then you can give members a chance to make money by reselling the software.

2. Offer PLR software as a freebie for joining your list.

In other words entice people to sign up for your mailing list by offering them a valuable piece of software in exchange for their email address.  Simple!

3. Use as a bonus product alongside your main product.

Here’s another strategy that’s commonly used with PLR ebooks too. In this case you offer relevant software as a bonus for your main product.  For example, if you’re offering a diet book, then you can offer a software bonus that helps customers track their eating habits, estimate their bodyfat percentage, determine their macronutrient break-down in their diets, and more.

4. Use PLR software as an unannounced bonus for customers.

This is a great way to build customer loyalty, tamp down buyer’s remorse, and reduce your refunds.

5. Use PLR software as a surprise bonus for newsletter customers.

Your existing customers should get your best bonuses and products.  However, your free newsletter subscribers will also appreciate getting surprise freebies, too.  This helps ensure your readers always drop everything and read your newsletter when it hits their inbox.

6. Sell your PLR software outright.

Instead of using PLR software as a bonus or freebie, you can make money by selling it directly to consumers as your main product.  You can even burn it on a CD and sell it as a physical product, thus increasing the perceived value (and the price) of the software.

7. Give away branded versions of your PLR software.

Here’s an idea for web-based software tools:  offer your PLR software for free as long as users keep your branding (name, link, and perhaps a short ad) intact.  For example, if you offer an autoresponder script for free, you make it a requirement that all users leave your link at the bottom of outgoing messages.

If you’d like to give your users the option of using an unbranded version of the software, simply charge a fee for an “advertising free” version.

8. Rebrand your PLR software and submit it to free software directories.

Simply put, this is a really good way to have your software seen – and downloaded – by more prospects.

Just create a free version with your company’s name and link branded on the software, and load it up to all the free software directories you can find.

Tip:  Many of these directories ask users to rate the software. Ask your newsletter readers, blog visitors, and forum members to give your software a good rating.  The better your rating (and the more people who’ve reviewed it), the more downloads you’ll receive.

9. Where allowable, sell your software with resell rights.

You can charge more for your software if you sell it with resell rights or master resell rights.  However, be sure to check the terms of your PLR license to ensure you have transferable rights to the software.

10. Add your PLR software to a fire sale.

You can hold a fire sale that just consists of useful software, or you can add your PLR software to a fire sale that includes PLR ebooks and articles. Check your PLR licenses to determine which PLR software you can offer in your fire sale with resell rights.

11. Add your PLR software to giveaway events.

This is the same as Strategy #15 described in the “PLR Ebooks” section. The only difference, of course, is that you’re adding software to the event instead of an information product.  List of the latest giveaway events... GiveawayVault.com

Note:  If the events are already open ("Up & Running" section) you're probably too late to be a contributor.  Scroll down the Updates page for "Coming Soon" and click on the contributor button for the giveaway of your choice.

12. Use the software yourself!

PLR software isn’t only valuable as a product you can resell to your customers – it’s also valuable because you can use it to make your business and your life easier. 

13. Do a JV with a programmer.

If you don't include programming talents in your own skill set, then chances are you’ll need to hire a programmer to modify most if not all of your PLR software. This may take hundreds to even thousands of dollars – and many months – to modify and debug by hiring professional programmers (depending on the quality of the PLR software).

Here’s an idea: instead of hiring a professional programmer, you can offer to do a joint venture with one.  Of course you’ll need to be able to bring excellent marketing skills to the table.  If you can do that, you two will be a good match. 

You can then create membership sites together, create individual products together, build a backend marketing system together, and so on.  You bring in the customers and your joint venture partner modifies the software. It’s a win-win situation.

14. How to use PLR software if you are a programmer/

Many times your clients want a code and interface that’s original and to which they’ll maintain the exclusive rights.  However, sometimes your clients will ask you to create a quick software or script for their own needs.  If they’re not selling the script as a product, they might tell you they don’t care if it’s all original.

You can offer to do an original script, just in case they decide down the line that they want to sell it as a product.  But you can give them the option of you creating their custom script from a similar PLR product – they won’t have an original (exclusive) script, but neither do they have to pay for “from scratch” code.

It's great to be able to give your clients a choice.  Be sure to be totally up front with them about the PLR product.

That's it guys!

That's 31 ways to make money from PLR articles,

34 ways to make money from Reports, Guides & eBooks plus 14 ways to succeed with PLR Software.

But then... If you have a combination of PLR ebooks, articles and software, there are certain strategies you can use that combine all three. 

For example, you can start a membership site, or run a one-week fire sale.  You can even use your articles, ebooks and software to create a content-rich site with built-in software tools and then flip the site on eBay for a profit.

When it comes to PLR your profits are only limited by your imagination and your marketing skills. 

Oh... and, of course, the right site to purchase high quality PLR products from!  And you already know that FastPLR.com is the first place to head for when you need another pack of PLR Articles or a PLR eBook package or a great script or software.
