What is PLR and What is it For?
Anyone who has spent any amount of time in the internet marketing field has at least heard of the three letters PLR. PLR stands for Private Label Rights; but just what does this mean; and what does it mean for you? PLR is a type of licensing agreement like MRR (Master Resell Rights), but what's the difference between this and other licenses? Do these differences even matter?
The term PLR refers to the licensing rights attached to information products such as a basic set of articles or a more complex content package containing eBooks or audio recordings. This license gives purchasers of the content the right to use it in whatever way they wish.
Someone else has written or recorded the information. They may even have created a website template and sales letter with graphics. However, rather than try to market these themselves, they have distributed it for sale to others.
There are different types of PLR websites. Some require memberships to access the content others do not. Membership sites limit the number of buyers for certain information products, however not all the content you get will be relevant to your niche. When you buy content from PLR sites that do not have memberships, you are able to choose content specific to your niche market. That way, your hard drive doesn't fill up with useless files.
The PLR license for the content offered for sale will specify what you are and are not permitted to do with the material. The most useful PLR content of all is content which offers unconditional use. This means that you can literally do anything you see fit with the material. You can rewrite, edit, re-mix, repurpose and generally suit it to your needs. You may even be able to resell your PLR material!
Even PLR material with an otherwise unconditional license may stipulate that you can't resell this material. Be sure to read and make sure you understand the terms of the licensing. If they don't allow you to use the material in the way you need, then pass it by; there's plenty of other PLR content to be had out there.
Try to get a sample of the text before buying, so you can see the quality and find out how many times it has been used on the internet. By simply Googling some of the text (in quotes) you can discover how many other people have used the content.
Unconditional private label rights content can save you a lot of time and money. You can choose to spend a great many hours creating information products yourself, pay a lot money to freelancers to do the work for you, or get top quality PLR content for only $50 to $200. So, if you value your time and money, PLR could be the best solution.
