Are you using Private Label Rights in your business?
These are articles, blog posts, autoresponders, reports, ebooks, even videos created by somebody else, but that you can use as if you were the author.
As a former high school teacher, I’ve always had a bit of a reservation about using PLR in my own business, because I’ve always thought that I needed to be the author of my own work.
But maybe I’ve been overlooking a great way to help more people by utilizing content created by somebody else who has given permission to reuse their work.
To help answer this “ethics question” about PLR, my friend Nicole Dean sent me this video to share with you.

Hi Bob-
I also have not used PLR for several reasons myself. I do prefer to create my own content, yet, as Nicole explains PLR and the use of it in business, it makes sense to look at even content creation as a tool that can be outsourced. Thanks for expanding my horizons this Monday morning as I freeze here in Chicago while you’re on your cruise ;-)

Hi Bob,
As a former teacher, I can see your hesitation with PLR :-)
I think PLR is a great way to start with something and craft it into something that is even more valuable and more unique than the original.
For me, the advantage of PLR is you don’t have to start with a blank slate.

Hi Bob,
Thank you for sharing this video from Nicole. PLR articles, reports and e-books are my friends. They let me have lots of quick content which ties in with what I do to share with my people and I don’t have to create it all myself. It saves hours and hours of work!

A useful post, I agree with Brian in that one of the main benefits of PLR is that you don’t have to start completely from scratch.
A number of the products provide a useful skeleton framework which you can flesh out with even more content and value. Additionally they enable you to get content out quickly which is both topical and useful when you are pushed for time.

PLR is just coming into my life, and I still prefer writing my own material from scratch, but…
PLR does the research for me, provides an outline, and gives me ideas for additional articles on the subject.
However, I find well written material difficult to rewrite. I have the idea that it would be much easier to rewrite something where the syntactical errors, along with grammatical and spelling errors and typos, just scream at you.
I’d be interested in hearing what you and others that about that.

Sorry for the double post; I saw the error and tried to stop the first one. DUH!
I have built a successful online business with PLR. I use bits of PLR mixed with original content as well. As for me, I will continue to use as long as the results are postiive. Thanks for the information, its great.
