PLR: What is it and how can it help your freelance career?

Published by reginapaul at 12:22 am under Make Money Writing Edit This

Up until a year ago I had never even heard the term PLR and because of that would never have considered it to be an avenue to helping my freelance writing career. PLR stands for Private Label Content. The great thing about PLR is that online business owners are always looking for it. PLR articles and content can be rewritten and in fact it is encouraged that business owners rewrite any PLR articles or content that they purchase from writers.

So how does this help you the freelance writer to make more money? Well, believe it or not, you can write PLR content. That’s right you. Even if you’ve never written PLR articles before you can start right now. The nice thing about PLR articles is that they don’t have to be perfect, nor do they have to be particularly long. The main things online business owners who purchase PLR articles are looking for are a) articles that fit their niche b) articles that are written well enough that it is easy to rewrite them c) articles that don’t cost an arm and a leg

As a writer you have two avenues for selling PLR articles and content, you can a) sell them yourself in packages from your own website using a Paypal buy now button or b) you can find a website online that is willing to pay you to write PLR articles and content for their membership website. Personally, I prefer the idea of selling PLR articles from my own website. While this does entail a bit more work on my part such as advertising and setting up the Paypal buy now button, I like it because I can set my own price and I get to keep 100% of the money made.

A few pieces of advice I would give those just starting out writing PLR articles a) don’t get too detailed, or do tons of research because typically you’re only going to make a few dollars an article on PLR articles b) Pick a niche, research it and then write spend a day or two writing ten or twenty articles in that niche, then you can sell a pack of twenty articles for $20 c) If the idea of not being able to claim the work bothers you ie that you don’t get to say “you” wrote those articles since this is essentially ghostwriting, then you may want to skip writing PLR content and articles.
