What is Private Label Content?

As everyone knows there are unlimited ways of making money online and new ones being created all the time. Today I want to talk to you about Private Label Rights Articles and Products. If you want to learn about it in much more detail I suggest you sign-up for our free e-Course here. It is a 2 week email course that teaches you all sorts of ways of making money online with Private Label Rights content. We use Aweber as our autoresponder service, so if you don’t like the course (which I know you will love) you can unsubscribe at any time, plus we will NEVER share your email address with anyone.

I am sure most of you know what Private Label Rights content is, but there are some people that don’t, so I think I better go over exactly what it is first…

For those of you that have signed up for our free PLR Secrets Course the description below might sound very familiar, as I am taking a lot of the information below right out of the first day of the course. It was easier than having to rethink everything over again, plus we only have a little over 30 subscribers so far… so most of you have not actually read it yet.

You probably keep seeing the term Private Label Rights popping up everywhere you look these days. You may have even seen them abbreviated as PLR products. If you’ve been wondering what the heck they are, but were afraid to ask, well now you’re going to finally learn.

In a nutshell, Private Label Rights products are products that you buy (sometimes when you’re lucky, they’re even given away) that you can use, basically any way you please. These types of products can take on a several forms nowadays, as you can see them as articles, e-books, software, graphics, audios and we are starting to see a lot of PLR videos as well.

PLR content is sold in several different forms; people sell articles and products individually, they sell them bundled together as packages and there are lots of membership sites that charge you a monthly fee for unlimited access to there usually ever-growing collection of PLR content. We have joined several of these type of membership sites over the years and still belong to a few which we love.

So listen up, because here’s the good part. Let’s say that you were to buy a bundle of PLR articles. You’d then be able to take those articles, and change them in anyway you want – by rewording them, adding to them, taking away from them; you name it, and making them your own. In fact, though many people don’t change them like this, I highly recommended that you do. Actually… the more you change them the better. If I am using PLR content for a project I really just like using it as a starting point. From there I delete whatever information is not needed, then I try and add a lot of my own content, and then I arrange it so it fits my project

What Are Your Rights?

Before I go on any further and confuse you, let’s talk about different types of rights on the products you can buy, and the rights you have with those products. We know that with Private Label Rights you can change them however you want, but that’s not always the case with everything you buy, and it’s important to know the difference to help keep you out of heaps of trouble for using someone else’s content illegally (as in getting sued!).

Okay, the one you’ll see very often are products with Resale Rights. These are very simply a product that you have the right to resale, however you do not have the right to claim them as your own, or change them in anyway whatsoever. You pretty much have to sell them for whatever they’re priced at by the creator of the product. You can make money from resale rights, but more often than not, these products are sold by everybody and their mother. You can definitely make money promoting these types of products, but there are better options in our opinion.

Master Resale Rights on the other hand are a little more lenient. With these, in many cases you have the right to give them away (but check with the TOS) – for instance to your list, or to new subscribers as a gift, etc. You also can pass the right for others to resell them, or give them away to their customers. This comes in handy for the purpose of viral marketing.

Here’s something else that you’ll like. With Master Resale Rights, you usually are given the sales copy, plus the graphics for the website, very often given in a handy little zip file for your convenience – therefore letting you bypass that step which is not easy for most.

All of your rights are given to you in what’s known as the Terms of Service (TOS). ALWAYS read these… just because you’re getting a certain bundle of rights, say Master Resale Rights, it doesn’t mean that all Master Resell Rights are the same. Some things change just as in any contract. The only one way for you to truly know, and keep yourself out of the deep stuff, is you must read the (TOS) and follow the rules.

Okay… now I am sure there are many of you that will scoff at the idea of using PLR content as they think the quality is poor and that they are way overused. Well like anything there is not so high quality content out there, but I am here to tell you that there is some really great PLR content out there as well… a lot of it.

To be honest, I would never use PLR content for any of our blogs (except for an occasional website flip or maybe some post ideas), but for creating some product giveaways and some other ways of generating money online… PLR is perfect. If I told you how much money I made over the past 5 years using PLR content you would be be amazed.

I better stop here for today as this post is getting way too long. Stop by tomorrow and I will tell you a little more on why you should think about using PLR content for “some” of your projects and where you can get a lot of really great PLR content for FREE.
