GT Bulmer Web Bizz Blog: Private Label Rights Articles - How To Avoid The Controversy

Private Label Rights Articles - How To Avoid The Controversy

Private Label Rights (PLR) Articles are a great resource for busy marketers too busy to write their own material for websites, blogs, eBooks, etc., but not every Internet Home Business marketer likes to use PLR. Here's how to use PLR to your advantage ... without actually using it!

© GT Bulmer
http://www.StarrBizz.com

I am a freelance writer and Internet Home Business enthusiast who has a very difficult time using material that other people have written. I prefer my own style. I trust my own writing.

When I first learned about Private Label Rights articles and related content, I was not interested. I knew that I had the skill and the confidence to research and write on virtually any topic that I wanted to, so why use something someone else had written?

I soon found out why a marketer would be willing to use Private Label content: Because busy marketers are often too busy to research and write the amount of material they need on a continuing basis to properly promote their online business!

In the beginning, the more I learned about marketing online, the more I came to realize the vital importance of blogging regularly, adding new content to your website home page regularly, adding new content to inside pages on your site regularly, and submitting articles to online directories regularly. That's a lot of writing for one person!

Even so, and as busy as I was trying to do everything to develop my Internet Home Business that my mentors recommended, I could not bring myself to actually use articles written by other people and call them my own. I knew it was a very common, highly widespread practice in the industry - nothing wrong with that as long as proper permissions are granted. But I couldn't do it.

Then, another factor entered the picture that caused me some degree of concern: there is quite a controversy among opposing parties as to the value of Private Label content. The concern revolves around "duplicate content."

If you get your PLR from a source that is making it available to the masses, that means the same PLR article you use could also be used by countless other marketers. And most sources of PLR content do make the material available to the masses.

On the other hand, if you pay to have articles written for you exclusively, or have a source that guarantees exclusivity, duplicate content is obviously not an issue.

Also, if all you need is content for a blog, website or whatever, and duplicate content is not a concern for you, then PLR is a great choice.

How to Avoid the Duplicate Content Controversy

I subscribe to the InfoGoRound.com Private Label Content service and here is how I use PLR without actually using it. You can do the same:

- Use it as inspiration for article ideas: read through the PLR titles for insight on what topics readers may be interested in

- Use it as resource material for articles you write in your own hand: read through several PLR articles on a particular topic and pick out the best parts to highlight and write about

- Pick out highlights or particular details in a PLR article, then do Internet searches to find additional insight on the topic to help round out the article

- Use a well-written PLR article as a style template for your own articles: notice how the PLR article has a clear introduction, several points of explanation in the body, then a clear wrap-up or closing comment that ties it all together. Follow that same format, but using your own words, descriptions, experiences, ideas, etc.

That is a brief outline of how I use Private Label Content without using the actual pre-written article.

Some marketers won't touch PLR with a ten-foot pole. Some swear by the value and convenience of PLR. It all depends on your purpose, needs and goals as an Internet Marketer.

While on the topic, I do have one confession to make (for those astute marketers who have the inside track on such things). Many of the articles in my free StarrBizz.com Internet Home Business Tips Newsletter have been written by an outside source. There are about 400 pre-written articles in that series and that is something I subscribed to when I first launched my StarrBizz.com website.

However, the majority of my blog posts are substantially or completely my own writing, except where otherwise indicated. And articles on my website with my name as author are also by my own hand.

My writing is a mix of experience, observation, opinion and research.

If you are looking for inspiration, ideas and content, I do recommend Private Label Rights Articles as an ideal resource to help you promote your online marketing and Internet Home Business ideas and opportunities.

Hi GT,

This is a good overview of the role of PLR articles. The services you mention, SYA and IGR are both excellent.

You are right to point out the danger of duplicate content when publishing a cheap PLR article that has been recycled thousands of times already.

I gave this post the thumbs up over at Stumbleupon!

Best wishes,

Awesome article GT

I am not a writer by any stretch of the imagination. I have a few of my own from scratch I am quite happy with, but I rely on J. Schuman, D. Hurley and free PLR for my articles.

I find that the free stuff, there is very little that is written well enough to my liking. By the time I correct the grammar and spelling, I have an article that would not be duplicate. Even the monthly download packages with IGR are generally poorly written.

Thanks for a great observation.

Hi Leon,

That is the problem with free or bonus PLR packs - you have to edit and proofread them as well as modify them. The other problem is that there is no limit to the number of people who can recycle them.

Best wishes,

David H
