I wanted to outline an example of using PLR (Private Label Rights) articles for blog posts. This is EXACTLY what I did and how I did it – so that you can see what you can do with this type of bundle.

Recently I sent a notice to my subscribers about a guest blog post bundle.

As you know, I rarely promote anything I don’t use myself. So I had already purchased the bundle before I sent the notice.

I have now uploaded all of my summer blog posts – which were all written by “Amy Sommers”. In fact, you can meet Amy in today’s blog post.

I uploaded them with the plugin that came with the bundle. And I used the WordPress-ready versions, since the images are already placed in that version of the zip file. I mostly followed the instructions, but I found I could upload the plugin directly from within WordPress, so that saved me some time.

I also loaded them to appear every 168 hours (once a week, on Wednesdays), and set them to come in as drafts.

I edited the introductory article, but left most of the content for the other posts alone.

I did go back and shorten the permalinks for each of the articles and added the Featured Image (a part of my theme). Plus I changed the schedule and order somewhat so that all of the articles will appear before Labor Day.

Finally, I wrote a short email about each of the posts and pre-scheduled them to go out to my main list every Wednesday, shortly after the article appears.

The outcomes from this project? There are actually several.

1) I have at least one blog post that will appear weekly for the next 10 weeks. That will bring the search engines over to my blog, even if I don’t get around to writing anything.

2) Because I’m using the Yet Another Related Posts Plugin there is a list of up to 5 related articles that appear beneath each of these posts. Naturally my hope is that visitors will take the time to also read some of the related posts.

3) Many of the guest blog posts lend themselves to recommendations of my own products. So as I have time, I’ll add short ads for my products into those blog posts. (I have another cool plugin that does THAT!)

4) It broke the ice. Frankly I’ve never done much guest blogging, either as a writer or a host, because in my head it was “hard.” Not sure why, but I had that crazy idea. I now see how easy it is! So I’ll definitely be doing more of this – even with real people! (grinning)

5) While I could have stopped at just uploading and scheduling the blog posts, I went ahead and did a little more. I wrote an email promoting each of the posts and pre-scheduled them to go out to my main list.

Total time it took me was about two hours. Naturally I could do this over several weeks, since the articles are coming out once a week. But I followed this principle:

Group similar tasks for more efficiency.

That’s just one of the principles I teach in my course at Overcome Information Overload

I hope you found this helpful. I think it’s fun (and educational) to watch what other marketers do and how they do it. We’re all on this path together!

Do you have a hard drive full of PLR articles, just sitting there collecting dust? We all do!

So let’s get them out, dust them off, and start profiting from them! Here are three easy steps to get you started. And best of all, two of the three steps don’t even require that you rewrite the PLR. Let’s watch the video…

Jeanette’s Note: This is a guest blog post from Nicole Dean. She’s one of my favorite sources of PLR (Private Label Rights) content and a true expert in her field. I know you’ll enjoy this article.

Recently, in an interview, I was asked this question:

“Can you explode any misconceptions that stop people from using PLR content?” Read More→

Many people wonder about how to choose PLR Products – and how to combine them into a cohesive plan. This short video illustrates several ideas within a single PLR site – and also combining with PLR products from a second site. You can get a lot of ideas by looking at the topics of the PLR products – then deciding how you can use them “outside the box”. Enjoy the possibilities!

There are many PLR (Private Label Rights) products available to you. But if you’re like most people you buy them – and they sit idle on your hard drive.

Stop that! You paid good money for content you could use – so use it. Here are three ways to ensure you profit from the next PLR package you buy.

1. Grab a piece of paper before you start to read the sales letter. Then as you read and you think “I could do this…” – write it down. Those bright ideas seem to fade right after you download the product. Having a written plan prevents your losing them.

If you prefer putting your ideas into a word processor, you can save that document in the same folder where you stored the PLR product. That way you can’t tell yourself “I had a great plan but I lost it.”

2. Record your purchase on your Product Tracker. Not only does this give you a written record of your purchase, but it also reminds you of where you stored the product. The only thing worse than not being able to find something you know you purchased is buying it a second time! And your Product Tracker keeps that from happening.

3. Choose the most profitable idea from your list and do it within the first 48 hours of buying the PLR product. You’ll make your money back multiple times over – and you will get into the habit of action.

That idea may be as simple as posting the product for sale on a new domain – or as complex as recording it as a video product. Regardless of what you need to do, take action quickly – or that product will be relegated to the vast store of “great” PLR materials on your hard drive, that are sitting there collecting dust.

By following these three simple steps you’ll be able to profit quickly from the next PLR course you buy. Learn how to set up your own Product Tracker and increase your online productivity to make this just one of the techniques you use to grow your business.

And remember – between now and August 27, you can pick up a GREAT package of PLR Content here.

Many people feel like they’re gambling when they choose a a PLR product to sell. After all, there is no cut-and-dried formula for finding a topic and a product that people are sure to buy.

Enter the Slot Machine. With its spinning reels, flashing lights, and occasional payoff, you can at least feel like you’re having fun while you do it! Here’s how it works.
