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.
