PLR Re-Branding: Is It Necessary to Market?

PLR Re-Branding: Is It Necessary to Market?

Right now, people are looking for ways to secure their financial future. As employment is skyrocketing to new highs and many Americans are concerned about their financial future, many are turning to the internet. Many are surprised to see just how easy it is to make money online. One opportunity people closely examine is PLR products. When you buy a private label rights product, like a software program or e-book, you gain rights to leave as it, edit, add your name as the author, and sell. There is definitely the potential to make money, but there are thousands of other e-books and software programs available for sale online. For that reason, advertising and marketing is required. In fact, it is vital to your success.

Right now, many first time PLR re-branders are thinking this opportunity isn?t a good as it originally sounded. Many mistakenly believe you can buy a PLR product, leave it as is, and make it available for sale online. Yes, you will get a few sales, but nothing like it should be. Don?t rely on the search engines to bring people to your sales page. The key to selling products online is to generate interest. You need to lead interested buyers to your product.

Once again, many first time PLR re-branders are reconsidering this moneymaking opportunity. After all, marketing and advertising not only costs money, but it requires time. For starters, do not believe all the hype that you can make money doing nothing online. This is a sure sign of a scam. All good and legitimate moneymaking opportunities require both time and money.

In terms of time, know that it is limited with private label rights. You buy a PLR product, make necessary changes, and add your name as the creator. Then, create a sales page. This page should highlight your product, summarize what is included as content or software features, include eye-catching graphics, have customer reviews, and a shopping cart. This process can take a few days or a week. Then, focus on marketing. Start with a bang upfront. Start a Google AdWords campaign, post links on message boards, do banner and link exchanges, and write articles for article directories. After a hard-pressed marketing campaign for one or two weeks, you can lax. You did most of the hard work up front. Every other week, add new articles to directories, make more posts on message boards, and so forth.

So, the time you spend on marketing and advertising isn?t as bad as you may originally thought. Start out hard-pressed and then taper down. You do not need to spend years marketing your re-branding PLR products before you see a profit. In fact, you will likely see profits right away. Continued marketing ensures those profits continue to flow for years.

In terms of money, the old saying ?you must spend money to make money,? is true. As previously stated, there are thousands of software programs, e-books, and digital products available online. You must lead interested buyers to you. This requires advertising and money. As mentioned above, a Google AdWords campaign is recommended. This allows you to create advertisements with related keywords. These ads are placed on top of search engine results or on relevant websites. You pay each time someone clicks on an advertisement. You pay only when your sales page is viewed. If you are concerned with money, set a budget. Your ads can stop when you exceed %200 or whatever limit you set.

Although it does cost money to market and advertise a product online, there are free tactics too. Mentioned above were online message boards. For message boards, find your targeted market. If you are selling a pet themed e-book, your target market is pet owners. There are many pet themed message boards online. Register for a free account. Create a signature linking back to your e-book, add a link in your profile, and post a listing in the for sale section. The more you participate in discussions, the more the link to your sales page is seen. This approach is free and works because you are catering to your targeted market. These aren?t just any internet users, but those who will benefit from buying your product.

Is PLR Re-Branding Worth the Time?
March 24th, 2009 under Re-branding PLR. [ Comments: none ]

Is PLR Re-Branding Worth the Time?

Do you want to make money with PLR products? If so, you are not alone. For years now, experienced internet users and home based workers have realized the potential to make money. And now, it is quickly catching on as a relatively easy way to make money. Private label products come in many digital formats, including e-books, audio books, articles, and software. However, many new buyers make one mistake. That is not re-branding their PLR products. This is a mistake because PLR products aren?t sold exclusively, but to hundreds or even thousands.

Before focusing on the importance of re-branding PLR products, understand how they make money. It varies. PLR article buyers tend to create a website and use the articles as pages. These websites make money by selling a product or a service or by relying on affiliate programs. As for e-books and software, the products are usually resold to interested buyers. For example, you buy a time management software program that is designed for small business owners. You pay %500 for the resell rights. Sell that program for %100 and you only need to make six sales before you see profits.

As for re-branding, it comes in different formats. For PLR articles and e-books, re-branding involves rewriting the content. It is harder to re-brand software. You don?t want to mess with the program applications, so you are more likely to leave it as is. This is okay, but the problem comes when people want to price compare. The economy is causing many individuals and businesses to watch their spending. Now, many consumers find a product they like and first search for it online. They are looking for it cheaper elsewhere. If you bought a PLR software program and didn?t change a thing, they likely will find it cheaper elsewhere. What does this mean? You just lost a paying customer.

As previously stated, it is easier to re-brand written content. You can just change a few words, paragraphs, and sentences around. It will only take a few minutes of your time. So, do it! For the purpose of this article, we will focus on PLR software. For starters, you saw how easy it was above to make money on software programs. Why wouldn?t the original creator sell the product? They likely still are, but they also realize the potential of giving away resell rights. These developers rarely have time to market a product and a sales page because they are onto the ?next big thing,? right away. This is where you come in.

Most PLR software buyers do not have the experience needed to add in new features or make program changes. That is okay. What you want to do is think outside of the box. You make the software available for digital download. This is great, but some people like to have actual disks with typed instructions. You can also redo the original cover work and change the name of the program. Then, there are problems with buy and run products. What if a buyer runs into a problem? Do you want to automatically give a refund or take a few days to familiarize yourself with the software and help with troubleshooting? Your thoughts on these points will determine your income.

Once again, most new PLR buyers assume it is as simple as 1, 2, and 3 to make a profit. Yes, it can be, but you can see even bigger profits with a small amount of re-branding. In fact, test the waters. Buy a PLR software program or e-book. Create two sales pages. One you keep everything as is. Do not change the content, the name of the e-book, the cover design, or anything. Then, take that same software program or e-book and re-brand. Whether you change the cover artwork, the name, make a physical copy available, or do all, make the change. Re-brand your product and list it for sale on a separate website. Try http://www.NakedPLR.com for super PLR products, but more importanly training on how to rebrand the products to make them your own.

Marketing is important too, so do a small amount of marketing. Try to setup link exchanges, utilize article directories and online message boards. Create links to your sales pages. Then, see what product sells best in two to three months. It should be the one your re-branded because you are no longer selling a product available elsewhere for a lower price. You are now selling a unique product, which will generate more interest and income.

5 Reasons Not to Let Search Engines Sell Your PLR Products
March 19th, 2009 under Re-branding PLR. [ Comments: none ]

5 Reasons Not to Let Search Engines Sell Your PLR Products

If you bought, re-branded, and are selling a private label rights product, such as an e-book, article pack, software program, or audio book, you should have a sales page. Whether that sales page is one you created yourself or one hosted on a third-party website, marketing is important. Unfortunately, too many newbies make the mistake of relying on search engines. This has the potential to be a very costly mistake.

For search engines to pick a sales page, it must be optimized with relevant keywords. Use a free keyword tracker tool and see exactly what internet users are searching for. . Say you have a chiropractic care e-book for sale. You will see that people are looking to ?find a chiropractor,? wondering ?can a chiropractor fix TMJ,? wondering the ?difference between osteopath and a chiropractor,? and curious as to how they can find a ?Los Angeles chiropractor.? Incorporate these phrases into your sales page and the search engines lead internet users to your website.

Optimizing your sales page for the search engines sounds nice, but it isn?t full proof. Why should you do more?

1 ? The Competition

If you are selling a PLR product, like an e-book or software, that same product was sold to 100 or more people. Many of those people are also trying to sell the same thing. For starters, that is why you should make a few edits, as you get a new, unique product. The overall theme is still the same though. For that reason, you will still have competition. If 100 people bought the above mentioned chiropractic care e-book, you could expect to find at least 50 similar sales pages with similar keywords. Your sales page will still appear in Google and Yahoo search results, but possibly not until the tenth page. Rarely do internet users go that far into search results.

2 ? Search Engine Optimization Isn?t Always Easy

For most individuals, search engine optimization, also known as SEO, is easy. For those just getting started, it requires trial and error. As recommended above, find a keyword tracker tool. Know what internet users are searching for, but don?t make a common mistake. That is only using popular phrases. Thousands of people search each day wondering how to ?work from home.? Work from home is one of the top searches performed and a keyword tracker will tell you this. Way down the list, you will find ?work from home ideas.? Although only 20 people may use this phrase a day, people still use it and there is less competition for it.

It will require trial and error, but experiment with keywords and keyword placement. Rarely do internet marketers get SEO 100%PRCTG% perfect on the first try.

3 ? Translates Into Less Money

Having Google lead people to your sales page is nice and easy, but it rarely translates into sales. People use the internet to do research, rarely are they looking to buy a product. You may get a few sales, but they will be limited. Market and advertise; target those who want to do more than just gather information, but make a purchase too.

4 ? The Money You Can Lose

As for why buying, re-branding, and selling PLR products is so popular it is because it has the potential to be a goldmine. It is common for buyers to make hundreds or thousands of dollars on one product alone! These individuals do more than just optimize a sales page and let it sit. They invest time and money into marketing. Think of the money you may lose if you don?t. Would you rather sell your re-branded software program 100 times or 5,000 times?

5 ? Your Other Options

Marketing a product and a sales page does require time and money, but is very easy. You can make use of Google AdWords, create an affiliate program and let others help you market and sell your product, use article directories, advertise on message boards, and so forth. Your options are endless and all are relatively easy.

How to Expand Your PLR Products for More Money
March 13th, 2009 under Re-branding PLR. [ Comments: none ]

How to Expand Your PLR Products for More Money

Private label rights ands their products are rapidly increasing in popularity. Many internet users looking to make money online are realizing the potential for huge profits. Private label right products, otherwise known as PLR products, come in a number of different formats. One of the most popular are written products, such as articles and e-books.

As for how people make money with PLR articles and e-books, the options are virtually endless. To get started, we will first focus on e-books.

A PLR e-book is traditionally sold for twice or three times the average selling price. For example, a 50-page e-book on saving money at the grocery store may sell for %19.99. For private label rights, you could expect to pay between %40 and %60. While this seems like a lot, you aren?t just buying an e-book to read. You are buying the re-branding and reselling right. You can rewrite all or portions of the e-book, change the author?s name to yours, and sell. When doing so, you sell to interested buyers for the %19.99 price. At this price, if you paid %60 and sell just 5 e-books at %19.99 and you make a profit!

As for how you can sell these e-books, the best option is to buy a cheap domain name and web hosting. All you really need is one or two pages. Outline your book, include a sample, mention the price, and include eye-catching graphics. Drive traffic to your sales page and generate interest with online message boards, article directories, or create your own affiliate program. You can also rely on popular third-party website, like Lulu.com, where you list your e-book for sale on an established website. However, these websites take a percentage from each sale, cutting into your profits.

As for PLR articles, you have much more freedom. Most buyers take the articles and use them for website content. For example, if you purchase a package of 25 articles on how to choose a chiropractor, you have 25 pages of web content. Link those pages through the menu bar and content links. Choose an affordable web-hosting package and pick a related domain name. As for how these websites make money, there are pay-per-click advertising programs, affiliate programs, and the outright selling of ad space.

Above were two easy ways that you can make money from one PLR e-book or one batch of 25 PLR articles. These methods will make you money, but how would you like to make even more? In some instances you can and with only spending a few minutes or hours. Checkout http://www.NakedPLR.com for a great way to get 5 new PLR books that you can rebrand each month in a new niche topic and I also really like http://NitroBlogger.com for PLR articles you can use on your blog.

Mentioned above was the example of a 50-page e-book on how to save money at the grocery store. It was a specific e-book, which focused on the grocery store. However, there are many other locations were consumers want to save money and much of the same advice applies. Create a sales page to sell your grocery store e-book. Then, take the rough draft copy of that e-book and make changes. Create a new e-book on how to save money at farmer?s markets, how to save money at organic food stores, how to save money clothes shopping, and so forth. Many of the same tips apply, such as using coupons, looking for good sales, looking for price errors, and so forth. You can literally just interchange a few words and get two, three, or even four new e-books, all of which you can sell to interested buyers!

The same can be done with PLR articles. Mentioned above was the example of buying a 25 pack of PLR articles on the subject of finding a chiropractor. This is a medical profession and just one of many. You can easily interchange chiropractor with doctor, surgeon, or dentist. Only a few content changes are needed, as much of the content stays the same. So, you created a website with Google AdSense ads and affiliate banners with the original articles. This website will make you money. Slightly change your articles three times for dentists, surgeons, and family doctors. You now have three more additional websites you can create, all of which will earn you money!

As originally stated, it is very easy to make money with written PLR products, like e-books and articles. Nevertheless, why not aim higher? With only a small amount of work and time on your part, you can easily double or triple your earnings.

Is Re-Branding and Marketing Important for PLR Products?
March 8th, 2009 under Re-branding PLR. [ Comments: none ]

Is Re-Branding and Marketing Important for PLR Products?

Do you want to make money with PLR products, like article packs and e-books? If so, you are not alone. PLR products have been making thousands of people money for years and many more are now jumping on this moneymaking bandwagon. Unfortunately, most are making a costly mistake. That is not injecting enough time and energy into their PLR products.

PLR products, also known as private label rights products, are products that you buy the rights too. You can edit them or leave as is, as well as claim them as your creation. PLR article packs usually generate income as website content. A webmaster puts these articles on their websites hoping to sell a product, get a paid membership for the site, or make money through affiliate and pay-per-click programs. PLR e-books are often sold to interested buyers or given away as a free gift for joining a membership website.

What all new PLR buyers must know is that they are not exclusively sold products. If you buy a pack of 25 articles, you are not the only buyer. There may be 50, 500, or 5,000 others with the same articles. Each person is trying to make money too. At least half will try to use the content to generate income through pay-per-click programs, like Google AdSense, and affiliate programs, like ClickBank. If you do the same, you have competition. Who is to say that internet users won?t find a duplicate website before yours? Re-branding is important to seeing success with this moneymaking opportunity.

Luckily for you, re-branding comes in a number of different formats and most are easy. To reduce the competition for a content driven website with 25 PLR article as content, you need to rewrite the articles. 50%PRCTG% to 70%PRCTG% rewrites are best. Change around a few words in each sentence, rearrange a few paragraphs, and you are done. The search engines and readers will never know the difference. You now have a unique website, which increases your visitor count and earnings.

Re-branding private label rights e-books are easier. These come in a downloadable PDF format. Search engines do not capture them like traditional website content. You still want to rewrite most of the e-book. Once again, just change around a few words in each sentence, rearrange a few paragraphs or add and delete a few. You can also change the e-book cover and content graphics. You now have a unique e-book. It is no longer the same as the one for sale by the other 100 rights buyers. Checkout http://www.NakedPLR.com for a great way to get 5 new PLR books that you can rebrand each month in a new niche topic.

Re-branding not only eliminates the competition with PLR products, but it also increases your earnings. Content is important for websites. It generates organic search engine traffic. With that said, video and audio is rapidly increasing in popularity among internet users. When learning how to market a website, people would rather see it done with their own eyes than just read about the process. Did you buy an internet marketing e-book? If so, implement a few of the marketing tactics mentioned in front of a video camera and share the content with your readers or paid members. E-books can easily be re-branded into audio books, video series, article series, and visa versa.

As for marketing, it is the second most important component of profiting from PLR products. Since many article packs are used as content with Google AdSense and affiliate links, traffic is needed. Marketing results in that traffic and this should result in sales. The same is true for a re-branded e-book you are selling through a sales page. Just because you list a product for sale online, it does not mean people will find it or buy it. Marketing is vital to your success. Luckily, you have many effective and affordable options. Start a Google AdWords campaign, start an affiliate program, arrange banner and link exchanges, utilize article directories, insert yourself into online communities, and so forth.

Yes, re-branding and marking a PLR product, whether you intend to use it or sell it, does take time and it does money. If you want to make money online, you must invest in these two things no matter what the venture.

Use Re-Branded PLR Products to Create Membership Websites
March 2nd, 2009 under Re-branding PLR. [ Comments: none ]

Use Re-Branded PLR Products to Create Membership Websites

Internet websites come in all different shapes, sizes, and formats. There are content fill websites, online stores, video websites, social networking websites, and the list goes on. Most websites are free for all internet users to view. However, you will find membership websites. They also vary. Some restrict entire site access to paid members and others make special bonus material available. If you want to setup a membership site, but are nervous about the experience, first test the waters with PLR products. They are easy to find and relatively affordable to buy.

Before explaining in detail how you can use PLR products to create membership websites, do you know what PLR stands for? If not, now is the time to learn. It is private label rights. These rights have varying meanings; usually the seller sets the standards. With these products, you can leave as is or make a few changes and add your name as the creator. Some products you can sell, like a PLR e-book to readers, but there are limitations. Rarely can you take PLR e-books or articles and sell them to resellers. In this case, the practice continues keeps going and it isn?t good for buyers like you.

Returning back to membership websites, just about any type of website can be transformed into a membership one. You might be surprised what people are willing to pay to gain access to. Homeschooling parents are likely to pay for homemade workbooks, tips, and more. Pet owners are likely to pay for how-to guides on pet grooming, healthcare, and more. People, just like you who want to make money online, are willing to pay for quality work-at-home information.

Since any type of website can be turned into a membership site, keep this in mind. Consider buying your PLR products in bulk or with a membership subscription. For example, if you pay %150 for 250 articles each month on a wide range of subjects, you pay less than %1 an article. If you choose to use some of those articles, great. If not, there is no big loss. But, since any subject can translate into a membership site, use all the products available.

Speaking of those products, what works for membership websites? Everything. Common private label rights products include e-books, audio books, videos, articles, and software programs. What can you do with each of these items?

An e-book has a lot of potential. Say your paid membership website for homeschool parents has printable worksheets, which can also be bought as PLR products. You want readers to pay for these, but since they are available for free online too, you need to offer a bonus. A re-branded PLR e-book with tips for homeschool parents that you offer for free to all new members draws attention.

As for PLR articles, these tend to have more restrictions. Since you cannot usually resell the articles themselves, you can use them to generate interest. Say there is a paid membership website for photos. You take quality digital photographs or hire a professional. Members pay to gain access to these photographs. As an internet marketer, you know that photographs can generate income online, but not everyone does. Don?t let visitors think opting into your membership only enables them to view quality photographs. It allows for use on websites, in e-books, printed books, and more. Explain this with articles. Find and buy PLR articles with anything related to making money and photographs online. Post them on your opt-in page.

As for PLR videos and audio books, they are available for sale too. You can use them as membership content. Let your free viewers read the information. Let the paid members see you implement each step or tip in action. With that said, do not pay extra for PLR audio books and videos unless you have to. Instead, think outside of the box. You can take one product and easily transform it into more. With paying for only 1 PLR e-book, you can get a total of 4 uses. They are the e-book, shortened articles, an audio book, and a video series.

To make money with membership websites, cost limitations are a must. Do not spend time and money to create a new product from scratch yourself or pay a professional. Use private label products instead. You can re-brand them for half the time and cost.
