Beware Of Exclusive Friendships

An excellent and gentle man of my acquaintance has said, "When fifty-one per cent of the voters believe in cooperation as opposed to competition, the Ideal Commonwealth will cease to be a theory and become a fact."

That men should work together for the good of all is very beautiful, and I believe the day will come when these things will be, but the simple process of fifty-one per cent of the voters casting ballots for socialism will not bring it about.

The matter of voting is simply the expression of a sentiment, and after the ballots have been counted there still remains the work to be done. A man might vote right and act like a fool the rest of the year.

The socialist who is full of bitterness, fight, faction and jealousy is creating an opposition that will hold him and all others like him in check.

And this opposition is well, for even a very imperfect society is forced to protect itself against dissolution and a condition which is worse.

To take over the monopolies and operate them for the good of society is not enough, and not desirable either, so long as the idea of rivalry is rife.

As long as self is uppermost in the minds of men, they will fear and hate other men, and under socialism there would be precisely the same scramble for place and power that we see in politics now.

Society can never be reconstructed until its individual members are reconstructed. Man must be born again.

 When fifty-one per cent of the voters rule their own spirit and have put fifty-one per cent of their present envy, jealousy, bitterness, hate, fear and foolish pride out of their hearts, then socialism will be at hand, and not until then.

The subject is entirely too big to dispose of in a paragraph, so I am just going to content myself here with the mention of one thing, the danger to society of exclusive friendships between man and man, and woman and woman.

No two persons of the same sex can complement each other, neither can they long uplift or benefit each other.

Usually they deform the mental and spiritual estate. We should have many acquaintances or none. When two men begin to "tell each other everything," they are hiking for senility.

There must be a bit of well-defined reserve. We are told that in matter solid steel for instance the molecules never touch.

They never surrender their individuality. We are all molecules of Divinity, and our personality should not be abandoned.

Be yourself, let no man be necessary to you.

Your friend will think more of you if you keep him at a little distance.

Friendship, like credit, is highest where it is not used.

I can understand how a strong man can have a great and abiding affection for a thousand other men, and call them all by name, but how he can regard any one of these men much higher than another and preserve his mental balance, I do not know.

Let a man come close enough and he'll clutch you like a drowning person, and down you both go. In a close and exclusive friendship men partake of others' weaknesses.

In shops and factories it happens constantly that men will have their chums. These men relate to each other their troubles they keep nothing back they sympathize with each other, they mutually condole.

They combine and stand by each other. Their friendship is exclusive and others see that it is.

Jealousy creeps in, suspicion awakens, hate crouches around the corner, and these men combine in mutual dislike for certain things and persons.

They foment each other, and their sympathy dilutes sanity by recognizing their troubles men make them real. Things get out of focus, and the sense of values is lost.

By thinking some one is an enemy you evolve him into one.

Soon others are involved and we have a clique. A clique is a friendship gone to seed.

A clique develops into a faction, and a faction into a feud, and soon we have a mob, which is a blind, stupid, insane, crazy, ramping and roaring mass that has lost the rudder. In a mob there are no individuals all are of one mind, and independent thought is gone.

A feud is founded on nothing it is a mistake a fool idea fanned into flame by a fool friend! And it may become a mob.

Every man who has had anything to do with communal life has noticed that the clique is the disintegrating bacillus and the clique has its rise always in the exclusive friendship of two persons of the same sex, who tell each other all unkind things that are said of each other "so be on your guard."

Beware of the exclusive friendship!

Respect all men and try to find the good in all. To associate only with the sociable, the witty, the wise, the brilliant, is a blunder go among the plain, the stupid, the uneducated, and exercise your own wit and wisdom.

 You grow by giving have no favorites you hold your friend as much by keeping away from him as you do by following after him.

Revere him yes, but be natural and let space intervene. Be a Divine molecule.

Be yourself and give your friend a chance to be himself.

Thus do you benefit him, and in benefiting him you benefit yourself.

The finest friendships are between those who can do without each other.

Of course there have been cases of exclusive friendship that are pointed out to us as grand examples of affection, but they are so rare and exceptional that they serve to emphasize the fact that it is exceedingly unwise for men of ordinary power and intellect to exclude their fellow men.

A few men, perhaps, who are big enough to have a place in history, could play the part of David to another's Jonathan and yet retain the good will of all, but the most of us would engender bitterness and strife.

And this beautiful dream of socialism, where each shall work for the good of all, will never come about until fifty-one per cent of the adults shall abandon all exclusive friendships.

Until that day arrives you will have cliques, denominations which are cliques grown big factions, feuds and occasional mobs.

Do not lean on any one, and let no one lean on you. The ideal society will be made up of ideal individuals. Be a man and be a friend to everybody.

When the Master admonished his disciples to love their enemies, he had in mind the truth that an exclusive love is a mistake. Love dies when it is monopolized. It grows by giving.

Your enemy is one who misunderstands  you why should you not rise above the fog and see his error and respect him  for the good qualities you find in him?

Have A Nice Day.

The Secret Of The Art Of Conversation

The grand object for which a gentleman exists, is to excel in company. Conversation is the mean of his distinction, the drawing-room the scene of his glory.

In company, though none are "free," yet all are "equal." All therefore whom you meet, should be treated with equal respect, although interest may dictate toward each different degrees of attention.

It is disrespectful to the inviter to shun any of her guests. Those whom she has honoured by asking to her house, you should sanction by admitting to your acquaintance.

If you meet any one whom you have never heard of before, you may converse with him with entire propriety.

 The form of "introduction" is nothing more than a statement by a mutual friend that two gentlemen are by rank and manners fit acquaintances for one another.

All this may be presumed from the fact, that both meet at a respectable house.

This is the theory of the matter.

Custom, however, requires that you should take the earliest opportunity afterwards to be regularly presented to such an one.

The great business in company is conversation. It should be studied as art. Style in conversation is as important, and as capable of cultivation as style in writing.

The manner of saying things is what gives them their value.

The most important requisite for succeeding here, is constant and unfaltering attention. That which Churchill has noted as the greatest virtue on the stage, is also the most necessary in company, to be "always attentive to the business of the scene."

Your understanding should, like your person, be armed at all points. Never go into society with your mind en deshabille.

It is fatal to success to be all absent or distrait. The secret of conversation has been said to consist in building upon the remark of your companion.

Men of the strongest minds, who have solitary habits and bookish dispositions, rarely excel in sprightly colloquy, because they seize upon the thing itself, the subject abstractly, instead of attending to the language of other speakers, and do not cultivate verbal pleasantries and refinements.

He who does otherwise gains a reputation for quickness, and pleases by showing that he has regarded the observation of others.

It is an error to suppose that conversation consists in talking. A more important thing is to listen discreetly.

Mirabeau said, that to succeed in the world, it is necessary to submit to be taught many things which you understand, by persons who know nothing about them.

 Flattery is the smoothest path to success; and the most refined and gratifying compliment you can pay, is to listen.

"The wit of conversation consists more in finding it in others," says La Bruy,re, "than in showing a great deal yourself: he who goes from your conversation pleased with himself and his own wit, is perfectly well pleased with you.

Most men had rather please than admire you, and seek less to be instructed, nay, delighted, than to be approved and applauded. The most delicate pleasure is to please another."

It is certainly proper enough to convince others of your merits.

But the highest idea which you can give a man of your own penetration, is to be thoroughly impressed with his.

Patience is a social engine. To listen, to wait, and to he wearied are the certain elements of good fortune.

If there be any foreigner present at a dinner party, or small evening party, who does not understand the language which is spoken, good breeding requires that the conversation should be carried on entirely in his language.

Even among your most intimate friends, never address any one in a language not understood by all the others. It is as bad as whispering.

Never speak to any one in company about a private affair which is not understood by others, as asking how that matter is coming on, &c.

In so doing you indicate your opinion that the rest are de trop. If you wish to make any such inquiries, always explain to others the business about which you inquire, if the subject admit of it.

If upon the entrance of a visitor you continue a conversation begun before, you should always explain the subject to the new-comer.

If there is any one in the company whom you do not know, be careful how you let off any epigrams or pleasant little sarcasms.

You might be very witty upon halters to a man whose father had been hanged. The first requisite for successful conversation is to know your company well. There is another precept of a kindred nature to be observed, namely, not to talk too well when you do talk.

 You do not raise yourself much in the opinion of another, if at the same time that you amuse him, you wound him in the nicest point, his self-love.

Besides irritating vanity, a constant flow of wit is excessively fatiguing to the listeners.

A witty man is an agreeable acquaintance, but a tiresome friend. "The wit of the company, next to the butt of the company," says Mrs. Montagu, "is the meanest person in it.

The great duty of conversation is to follow suit, as you do at whist: if the eldest hand plays the deuce of diamonds, let not his next neighbour dash down the king of hearts, because his hand is full of honours.

I do not love to see a man of wit win all the tricks in conversation."

In addressing any one, always look at him; and if there are several present, you will please more by directing some portion of your conversation, as an anecdote or statement, to each one individually in turn.

This was the great secret of Sheridan's charming manner. His bon-mots were not numerous.

It is indispensable for conversation to be well acquainted with the current news and the historical events of the last few years.

It is not convenient to be quite so far behind the rest of the world in such matters.  Have a wonderful day.

2 Suggested Online Business Models To Profit From

Model #1: Private Label And Resale Rights
Do you like the idea of owning your own product, but still don't want to go through the hassle of coming up with products ideas and doing all the creative work? 

Private label rights/resale rights might be for you. First, let's define our terms… Private Label Rights: These give you the ability to take a pre-existing product, and put your name and branding on it.

In other words, you get to label and promote the product as if it were your own. Note, this is not affiliate marketing.

You'll actually be the one delivering the product, and processing payment transactions (you can set up your own affiliate program to promote it). There are lots of products which can be private labeled.

 

 

 The most common private label rights products are usually ebooks or software, but there are also opportunities to private label services, such as autoresponders, and physical goods, like vitamins or candy bars, etc.
Resale Rights:
These grant you the right to sell a product as if it were your own, but without the benefit of putting your name on it. You aren't allowed to alter the product in any way. If you want something you can alter, edit and improve upon, then look for either private label rights or master resale rights. Now that you understand the terms, let's talk about how you set up shop. 

First, you'll want to choose a niche market to focus on.Your choices might be constrained somewhat based on where you're acquiring your rights from. Most of the information product rights opportunities center around popular subjects like cooking, relationships, health and finance. Rather than acquiring rights one product a time, people generally sign up with membership sites which offer a variety of resale and private label products on a monthly basis.

Model #2: Creating And Selling Products 

 
The Public Domain: The public domain is really a blessing to info-product marketers. Imagine creating a full-length ebook without ever writing a single word? You can find a lot of usable content in the public domain – everything from books to images to audio. 

 

As long as the copyright on the work has expired, it’s for you to do with as you wish. The bulk of the work you'll have to do to create products this way comes down to getting them into a salable format.  

 

Most public domain books, for example, are not yet digitized – and the ones that are, are typically distributed as text files. This means you'll have to reformat that content into a .pdf file (the standard file format for ebooks) before you sell it. Of course, you'll want to use your own header graphics and other bells and whistles in the ebook as well. Although public domain content is a great way to get an instant product, there are also some obstacles involved in uncovering appropriate niche topics. 

 

Again, only a fraction of the public domain has been digitized and made available on the Internet. So, if you're just using site like gutenberg.org try and locate the content, you'll have a difficult time locating it. In order to unearth the real gems, you need to search through the WorldCat database. WorldCat is a database which links the card catalogs of libraries around the world.When you do a search via WorldCat, you have access to literally thousands of little-known public domain titles.
 

Somewhere out there is a library which holds the physical copy of the work you're looking for in its collection. Once you locate that library, you can request that work via the Inter library Loan System, and have that work mailed to your local library for pick up.  

 

Pretty neat, huh? So, the first thing you need to do is log on here: http://www.worldcat.org, and then click on “Advanced Search” .
 

Now, you can do one of two things:
 

1. Use some of your niche keywords in the “Keywords” search, or
 

2. Use some of your niche keywords in the “Title” search.
 

Now, go down to the bottom of the form where it says “Publication Date”.
Enter something like 1870 as the year for the start date, and enter 1923 for the end date.
What this will do is pull up titles matching your search terms for works which should be in the public domain.What we're aiming for here is to get a broad list of titles pertinent to your niche.

For my search, I entered “cooking” as my keyword.
One of the interesting titles the search pulled up is: “Clever Cooking”, published in 1903.
 

This should be in the public domain. I go ahead and click on the title. Now, here's where it gets interesting. The WorldCat has automatically detected my location based on my IP address, and returned a match for the library closest to my location that has a copy of “Clever Cooking”. 

 

I can now click on the web link to that library's website, and fill out my Interlibrary Loan Request to check out the book.
- What happens when I get the book? Once you've found a good title you want to turn into a product, you'll need to get it into ebook format. This is probably the hardest part of the process. 

 

Unless the book is extremely short, you're probably not going to want to type the entire contents of the book into your word processing program :)  What you'll need to do next is find an OCR scanning service. OCR stands for “optical character recognition”, and it’s basically a type of software that can recognize text within images.When you do an OCR scan of a book, you scan it on a regular scanner, just like you would for a picture. The software then tries to convert what it sees into text. 

 

You should be able to find some companies in your area that will perform this service for you. If you can't find any, though, you have two options:
1. Do the scanning and conversion yourself (still somewhat time intensive and will require you invest money into the needed tools)
 

2. Send the book by mail to a company such as http://www.datadash.com - Whether you can do this will depend on how long you're allowed to keep the book checked out.
 

Some titles ordered through inter library loan can be kept for the standard 2 weeks. This is usually enough time to mail off the book, get it scanned and mailed back to you. I recommend going with a pro service whenever you can. It will take a lot of the burden off of you, and ensure more professional results. 

 

Once you've got your book in its final format, its time to start marketing. You can sell it as a digital download, or you can put it on a flash drive. You can sell it from your own website, or you can sell it on Ebay. 

 

It’s never too late to start looking for your next public domain product, either. You can have a 2nd product in production while the sales are coming in on the first one. The fact that you can roll out product after product with public domain information is one of the reasons it’s so addictive, and so profitable. Have a nice day.

16 More Profitable Ways To Use PLR Articles

1. Use PLR content to post answers on Yahoo Answers or other Forums.
One way to get valuable backlinks to your site (for search engine optimization purposes) is to post answers on Yahoo Answers.

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.

 
2. Use PLR articles to post comments on other people’s blogs.
Just as you can use PLR articles to post on Yahoo Answers, 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. 

3. Use as content to post answers on forums.
Here’s another way articles can be used to get links: post the content on other people’s 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’s 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. 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). 

 

Note: 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. 

Note, however, that 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 additional 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. 

4. Use PLR articles to create Hubpages pages.
Plenty of savvy marketers set up Hubpages (AKA Hubs) around specific niche topics.You can do the same using PLR articles to create the hubs.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.
 

5. Use PLR content to create Fiverr Gigs – then SELL the Gigs.
On Fiverr you can set up a Gig. However, instead of keeping the PLR to yourself, you sell it immediately to someone else. 

It’s a quick and easy way to make a nice chunk of change of $5. Note: check your PLR license to be sure this is allowable. To be safe, find content that comes with transferable rights.
 

6. 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.
 

7. 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!
 

8. 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.
 

9. Tweak PLR articles and sell them.
You already know that you can sell PLR articles users to niche members 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 Markets” publications.
 

10. 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.
 

11. 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.
 

12. Use PLR articles as the basis 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 may 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.

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

14. 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.
 

15. Combine your PLR articles with other PLR articles to create an ebook.
You can use one or more articles to create chapters for an ebook. Put together just 20articles, and you’ll instantly have an ebook around 10,000 words. So what should you do with the ebook? Read about strategies to profit from your PLR ebooks Here
 

16. 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. Have a wonderful time.

10 Ways To Personally Develop Your Potentials

1. Remain flexible. As long as you keep focusing on your strengths and potential, the right thing will come along - and probably sooner rather than later. But don't quit at the first sign of boredom.  Even if you have truly found your niche, you will not feel enthusiastic 100 percent of the time.

2. Don't worry about others - don't compare your progress with that of others. No matter how successful you are, there will be someone else who, to you, looks like she's got it made - who looks like she's getting where you want to go faster and easier than you are. Maybe she is.  Maybe she isn't.  Who cares?

3. Focus on your own achievements.  Work to develop your skills and talents to their full potential.

4. Compete with yourself - your short term goals should be based on today's accomplishments. If you have reached Point A today, make Point B your next objective - improve yourself and don't worry about the other guy. OK.  You have decided what your ultimate goal is.  Make sure it is a definitely defined goal.  "Someday I want to be famous" just won't cut it.

5. Define exactly what you want to do.  Define a reasonable time frame.  Know what you have to do to get there. You don't need to know every little detail, but you do have to have the big picture and many of the details. If you have a goal in mind but don't know what it takes to reach it, then you need to find out. Do some reading, talk to people who know, ask questions and LISTEN to the answers. Think that sounds like a lot of work? Well, remember what you are preparing for - your success and happiness. Surely you want to put a little effort into that! Anyway, a little research into what it will take for you to reach your goals isn't too difficult.

6. Train yourself into making this "research" the next focus of your life.You will be focusing on your strengths, on your purpose, and on learning and doing.  If you have chosen a goal that is right for you, focusing on these things and devoting the necessary time should not be too difficult. It may take a bit of self-discipline at first, but your determination and interest will carry you through until the focusing process becomes a habit. When you have a real desire to accomplish something, initiative should only require an occasional shove - but you may need to give it a nudge now and again.

7. Get into the habit of visualizing your success.  Now sitting around and day dreaming in generalizations about it is not what we mean.

8. You need to visualize specifics.  To return to the basketball example, daydreaming about being carried off the court on your teammates' shoulders is just daydreaming. Picturing in your mind how you will work a play if your opponent makes a particular move, picturing your exact response to it, is visualizing specifics. If you run through specific moves in your mind, you will be prepared when the need for those moves arises.

9. Don't be afraid to use your imagination to visualize new and better ways to accomplish things, as well. Here in your mind, you can try doing things in ways that are different from the usual. This is a creative process - you may have heard of creative thinking. Training yourself to think creatively is largely learning to let your imagination work on methods that are different from the "way things have always been done." It's breaking away from the idea that a thing can be done effectively in only one way. It's looking at a problem from all angles.  Just play a game of "what if."

10. Ask yourself, "What if I did this thing this way?"  It's OK to get a little crazy sometimes.
But, you must also spend some of your thinking time at specific visualizations of the moves you need to make to accomplish your goals.Visualizations are important but actual physical practice of your skills is important, too. Practice the boring little skills that are necessary as well as the skills that you enjoy. Don't let yourself rely on just the things that come naturally and easy to you. Develop your limited potentials as well as those that you feel are your assets. Have a wonderful day.

14 Tips To Profit From A 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. You can go to Fiverr.com, elance.com, rentacoder.com, or warrior forum.com to find a good programmer. 

1. Create a membership site using PLR software.
If you’re interested in creating a business around a forced continuity (residual income) model, then one way to do it is to offer new software products each month in a membership site. And you don’t even need to worry about spending thousands of dollars each month getting new software created – instead, you can just use PLR software.

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.
 

3. Use as a bonus product alongside your main product.
Here’s another strategy that’s commonly used with PLR ebooks. 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 body fat percentage, determine their macronutrient break-down in their diets, and much 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 refunds. 

5. Use PLR software as a surprise bonus for newsletter customers.
Your 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 one good way to get 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 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.
 

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 can’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. So 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. Have a wonderful day.
