Why I choose PLR from Nicole
I have read 10′s of PLR sites, and seen hundreds of PLR articles – some for free. I downloaded some googled PLR (probably not a good idea unless you have a very active security program) and it was nearly COMPLETELY unusable. The content was obviously written by someone whose native tongue is not English. And in some cases, I saw content in my research that was obviously PLR re-produced and sold. This is called “Master Rights PLR”. Although not unethical, it isn’t ideal either. We’re after unique (or slightly less unique for a better price) content.
Here is an article that explains Nicole’s philosophy of PLR content. The article below is NOT PLR, it is an article that is available for re-printing, and must contain the author information box (you can see that below the article).
PLR Articles: How to Choose a Good PLR Service
by Nicole Dean
Private Label Rights (PLR) articles are hot right now. The
only problem is that many people have tried them and been very
disappointed. I can’t say I blame them. I’ve been disappointed, too.
Oftentimes, the PLR services you may have tried are lacking in
several areas. So, what makes a good PLR service and how can you make
sure that you don’t waste you money on a bad one?
Here are some questions to ask yourself before investing any money into a PLR package or membership.
1. What topics are you getting?
I mean, seriously, if you are promised 100 articles each month, but
you end up receiving a selection on Laser Hair Removal and Divorce,
when all your websites are about cooking… You just wasted money.
2. What quality are you getting?
Say you’re lucky enough to get a series of articles on your topic.
Take a minute to look at them. Are they pure fluff? I’ve paid for
articles that had no original ideas, or worse, were written so poorly
that there’s no possible way I’d put them on my website. Make sure your
PLR package contains quality articles. Otherwise, you just wasted
money.
3. How many other people are getting the exact same articles?
If 1000 other people signed up to get the same articles, are you
really receiving any value? Perhaps if you don’t mind reworking the
articles. However, if you’d like more unique articles, then you may
consider a more exclusive PLR service.
4. Does the PLR service give you any extras?
Are they offering training on ways to use their PLR articles? Do
they provide you with ways to monetize the articles you’ve purchased?
Some PLR sites will include recommended affiliate programs and training
on how to use their articles to get the most benefits from their
service.
Really assess the value you’re receiving when investing in any PLR
package or service so that you don’t end up wasting your money. I don’t
want you to make the same mistakes I did.

PLR e-books and PLR articles are great resources. I use PLR and rewrite them because PLR articles and ebooks are great for ideas generating and cutting down on research.
So far, I’ve only used PLR where I already know the content b/c I’m a little distrusting – want to be sure the content is right, you know? But it sure helps with me actually STARTING to write! Sometimes it is the biggest hurdle!
