Read First Part Here.
1. 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, Amazon.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
long tail keywords get traffic, but also have very little competition in
the search engines. Finally, submit your rewritten PLR articles to
article directories like ezinearticles.com.
You
should also include a resource box at the end of the article to point
people to your website, which should encourage people to get on your
mailing list.
2. 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.
3. 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 long tail 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, Digital Point 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. Note,
however, that 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’ll need to look for PLR content that
includes transferable rights.
4. Create the site – and keep it.
Of course you can create a content-rich niche website as described
above, except don’t sell it. Instead, keep adding content to it, keep
promoting it, and keep monetizing it and keep all the profits for
yourself.
5. Create a site using PLR and sell advertising.
As described above, one way to monetize a content site is to insert
advertising links or AdSense on the site. Another way to do it 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.
6. 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. Just tweak PLR articles and upload it to your
site. Now membership maintenance only takes a couple hours instead of
days (or weeks)!
7. 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. (Naturally, of
course, it’s best if you have products – your own or affiliate products –
available in this same language.)
8. 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.
9. 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. (Indeed, you’ll
discover other non-text uses for PLR articles in just a few minutes.)
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.
10. 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.
