Cheap PLR Articles

2011-09-15T00:52:00.003-06:00

PLR should be less expensive than custom articles. By its very nature it is created to cost less by being sold to more than one buyer. However, lately I have been seeing some very cheap PLR articles. I don't mean inexpensive like $1 an article- I mean inexpensive like a dollar or less for four or five articles. How is that even possible? Can you sell it to enough people to possible be worthwhile? And on the buyer's end, is it worth it to buy it?

Your answers: Foreign writers. Yes. No.

The article packs that are priced so low are often written by Chinese, Filipino and Indian writers who write in English as a second or third language. Their articles are hard to decipher and harder yet to use for any marketing purposes. To use them, they must be rewritten by an English-speaking writer. Some buyers purchase the packs and then spend time reading and rereading them in an effort to understand them well enough to rewrite them. Others hire a rewriter to try to do the same.

So, in order to save time and money you buy PLR articles. If you then have to either spend an enormous amount of time to fix them or hire someone else to do the same, why buy them? In PLR as in everything else, you get what you pay for. If you're serious about what you do online, stay away from the bargain bin and go with professionally written content.

Using PLR Articles in Newsletters

2010-09-30T22:38:00.003-06:00

One of the easiest ways to build and keep an email marketing list is to create an email newsletter that is sent to your list. It's a reward for customers who sign up for your list as well as a focal point for your email advertising. Using PLR articles in your email marketing campaign is an easy way to create the framework for your newsletter.

One PLR article can serve as the basis of a full newsletter by expanding the main points of the article or by combining two or three articles together into a longer piece. Intertwine a few marketing sentences that contain a link to you products and you have a complete newsletter. It all takes less time than writing a newsletter from scratch, and if you choose professionally written PLR content (such as mine!), you start with a solid basis for your email marketing.

Uses for PLR Articles

2009-10-22T20:08:00.002-06:00

I have not added any articles packages to The PLR in a while now, but the sales of the packages have been pretty slow this year, so there are many, many more packages that are available for purchase. Some of the packages have been purchased only one or two times, making them practically unused. In fact, many people who buy PLR articles and ebooks end up not using them, making them much more unique than many people realize.

One of the packages that has only sold two times is the package of candle articles. These are meant to make it easier to sell candles through a website, to create Web or print materials to market a home candle business or to use as marketing articles for candle affiliate sales.

Here are the article titles:

Candles Articles Package:

1. Why Use Scented Candles?
2. What Are Candles Made Of?
3. Types of Candles
4. The History of Candles
5. Giving Candles as Gifts

The current trend in Web marketing for people who want to earn money from monetized sites and blogs is to create a number of smaller niche sites that center on one specific topic. If you are creating a few of these niche sites, think about using one of my least-purchased PLR article packs in order to quickly create content that will draw in readers.

Updates Coming Soon

2009-08-19T00:59:00.002-06:00

I haven't updated the PLR site this summer with new packages, but there will be new PLR articles to choose from in the fall. Starting in September, I will be creating new packages regularly for the site. And yes, I am still available fore rewrites. I get a lot of emails asking if I am "still here," and believe me, I'm always here. There's no need to email me before placing an order. Thanks!

PLR Rewrites

2009-03-23T13:40:00.002-06:00

I have the occasional buyer who comes through the site, The PLR, for PLR rewrites, but I often wonder if people just don't understand the deal they can get by doing so. If people did, I would likely be inundated with buyers. If you are a PLR article buyer who doesn't know about my rewriting service, here's how it works:

1. Choose the PLR package you want from the site and purchase it from the Buy button located underneath the package.

2. Go to the rewrite page, choose the rewrite package you want (4, 5 or 6 article rewrites) and purchase the rewrite package.

3. Receive the PLR articles immediately and the rewrites will follow through email within two days. That's it. I rewrite them all personally and send them through email in a Word file. If you would prefer a .txt file or you have some other special request, you can email and ask for it. Otherwise, you don't have to do a thing.

I literally don't know of anyone else online who has this service on their site, PLR or otherwise, and I don't know why it isn't used more often. So far this month I've only had three packages of rewrites purchased. I have to assume that either a) the word just isn't out yet about this deal or b) people are confused about how it works. I'm hoping that this post can help to take care of both of these issues in one swipe.

Dog PLR Articles Coming Soon

2008-12-30T22:39:00.001-06:00

The next PLR article package will be about dogs. It won't be about any one specific breed- just dog behavior and care in general. I expect it to be completed by the end of the weekend.

Weight Loss PLR Articles are Available

2008-12-28T23:26:00.001-06:00

Well, that took me awhile, but now that Christmas is over I can devote more time to developing new PLR articles. If you haven't checked the site, take a look at all of the PLR packages that are up for purchase. Some of them have never had a buyer and none of then have had more than a few. The site is still relatively new, so your articles will be a lot more unique than you think!

Online Dating PLR is On the Site

2008-10-11T18:23:00.002-06:00

The Online Dating PLR package is up and ready on the site. I will have a weight loss PLR package on the site within the next week.

New PLR Package Coming Soon

2008-09-27T15:28:00.003-06:00

The MLM Business PLR articles are up on the site right now, and I have another package in the works. I'm putting together a PLR package of online dating articles that should be ready within the next three to four days.

Online dating sites almost always have great affiliate programs, so these articles can help you to put together a site devoted to online dating sites and why people should sign up for them and start meeting people online.

I also recently started a separate page on the site devoted to rewriting PLR articles. I can rewrite my articles or any other PLR articles that you have. Just go through that page and the rewrites are guaranteed to be delivered to you in two days. I've already had a client come through there and the rewrites were delivered to him on time and to his satisfaction.

If you have been going through Elance, RAC or GAF to find someone who will rewrite your PLR articles for a decent price, you don't have to ever do that again. I have payment buttons right there and nothing more is required of you. You don't have to interview bidders or try to collect rewrites from slow writers. You can drop in at any time, send the articles and the rewrites will be emailed to you within two days.

New Package Coming - MLM PLR Articles

2008-07-29T00:37:00.003-06:00

The ebook PLR book was put onto the site a few weeks ago and is ready to go. I will be putting up a new package sometime this week about MLM marketing and sales. These will be invaluable PLR articles for people in MLM who want to recruit others. The titles will be up within the next few days and the article pack will be made available then.

Ebook PLR Packs Up

2008-07-09T13:50:00.002-06:00

I put up the ebook articles PLR pack last week. The titles will be helpful for anyone wanting to find affiliates to sell their ebook, selling information about ebooks or marketing and people who have internet marketing sites. The titles are on on the main site and they are all ready to go.

PLR Packages

2008-06-27T01:00:00.002-06:00

Wow, I hadn't realized how long it had been since I posted here. I've had so many clients recently that it's been hard to get new PLR packages done. The vitamin package is out, and it's perfect for a vitamin supplement affiliate campaign.

I will have an MLM marketing PLR pack soon, but first there will be one about ebook marketing and sales. Look for it within the next few days. If anyone has a PLR topic request, just contact me. Thanks!

This Weekend

2008-02-22T19:28:00.001-06:00

The flu is mostly gone now, so I'm going to work on finishing these. I'm hoping to have them up by the end of the weekend.

Not Yet

2008-02-18T13:53:00.002-06:00

I've been down with the flu for several days now and I'm starting to believe that I always will be. Two pieces of advice: ALWAYS get the flu shot, even if you have to drive across town, and ALWAYS go to the doctor the minute you suspect you have the flu. Tamiflu only works if you take it within the first 48 hours. I had a good, healthy start on the vitamin PLR articles, but they've had to go on the back burner for right now. It's all I can do to think straight and attempt to keep up with regular clients the best I can. I don't have an ETA on these articles- it will probably be the first day that I can stay out of bed all day and lift heavy objects.

Vitamin Supplement PLR Articles

2008-02-10T21:32:00.000-06:00

I am planning on having these completed, edited and into the system by Tuesday or Wednesday. There are five of these articles, each about a different type of supplement. Each will be the standard 400-500 words that all of my PLR articles consist of. One of the things that I won't write about is questionable supplements that don't really do anything, so don't expect anything like that. These are well-researched articles that detail the benefits of each type of vitamin. These will be extremely useful if you have a Drugstore.com affiliate account or have signed up with any of the large, online vitamin sellers. If you haven't signed up with any yet- go for it. This is a huge industry, and they do sell worthwhile items that have a positive impact on people's health.

The PayPal PLR Articles are Available

2008-02-04T02:43:00.001-06:00

The title says it all- the PayPal PLR articles are up on the site and ready to go. Right now I am planning a package about vitamin supplements, including a general article about the health benefits and a few about individual vitamins. Vitamin supplements are a huge industry, and there are an incredible number of affiliate programs for the largest online vitamin websites. The package will be able to point out the health benefits of supplementing the diet with worthwhile vitamins.

PayPal PLR Articles

2008-02-01T13:44:00.000-06:00

The PayPal affiliate program isn't to get people to sign up to pay for items- it's to refer merchants to PayPal. The bounty on doing so is high. For each online merchant that you convince to accept PayPal you can receive up to $1K. Money is made by the affilaite in the form of .5 percent of each of the transactions that goes through PayPal for one year, with a maximum of $1K.

PayPal provides a banner ad as well as a simple link that can be used to refer merchants. There's a lot of potential in this program, and it's going to be the focus of the next PLR article package on The PLR. I'm currently putting together a few articles about why merchants should use PayPal and how it benefits them over other payment methods. Using some of these articles on a small site about PayPal, or on a Squidoo lens or HubPage, or even on one page of an existing website, has the potential to bring in a tidy residual income.

New Package up Soon

2008-01-29T10:20:00.000-06:00

The new eBay package will be up within the next day or so. I was striving to do about two or three packages a week, but for now it looks like one per week is going to be more realistic. Check the main site in the next day to see the package titles and to pick them up for cheap!

New eBay PLR Package Underway

2008-01-21T00:31:00.000-06:00

The eBay affiliate program is a very lucrative one. Affiliates earn for sign-ups, and for sales made through the links. Many affiliates are doing quite well as eBay affiliates, and I'm making a PLR package just for that purpose. To get people to sign up under your affiliate links, I'm making a package of PLR articles that convince people to sign up for the site and start bidding and buying.

Addressing some of the worries that some potential buyers have about the site can assuage fears and convince them what a great idea it is to join. And let's face it, it is. Once buyers get hooked on eBay, they never look back. And, you can keep earning as they do it. Here's some information about the program. If you haven't signed up as an affiliate yet, right now is a great time to do so. Winter is the best season of the year for eBay sellers, and there are millions in profits to be made for both sellers and affiliates.

Even if you don't have a website to use for affiliate sales, you can put together a HubPage or two or a Squidoo lens and fill it with your eBay information.

Mortgage PLR Package

2008-01-16T00:43:00.001-06:00

The mortgage PLR package is completed, but I haven't had a chance to put it through a final edit quite yet. I expect to have the editing completed later today and to upload the articles then.

After the mortgage articles, I have an ecommerce set planned. I've written a set about how to sell on eBay, and now I'm going to write a set about how to buy on eBay. People interested in joining the site may be nervous about the bidding and payment process. Having it explained to them will go a long way toward making them comfortable with the idea. The eBay affiliate program is a high paying one, and I hope these articles will help affiliates to bring in plenty of sign-ups.

I also have a set of articles about ebooks that I have not completed, but I've been mulling over a few other topics as well. I think there is a need for MLM marketing, based on the number of people who hire me to write about it. A set of those could be in the near future.

New Package Underway

2008-01-09T09:15:00.000-06:00

I'm working right now on a PLR article package about mortgages, which I know is a lucrative topic for a lot of webmasters. These should be completed within the next two days. Mortgage articles are particularly big right now as so many people are trying to benefit from the whole subprime debacle. I'm working on one about how to go after foreclosed properties, one about how to qualify for a mortgage, how a mortgage works, how to avoid defaulting on a mortgage and what types of mortgages are available.

Herb Article Package

2008-01-04T23:44:00.000-06:00

The herb article package is completed and will be uploaded to the site shortly. The articles were quite research intensive and the result is a package of articles that gives specific, concrete information.

Before I started with the PLR site, I listened to what webmasters were saying about their PLR web content. The most common complaint I heard was that the articles were too generic and didn't give enough real information. My own PLR articles are well researched and need no editing. They're written with all the time and care I put into the articles I write for clients. So, check out the newest PLR article package, and stop periodically by to see new packages. My plan right now is to put two to three packages on the site every week, time permitting.

Site Move Planned

2007-12-24T00:33:00.000-06:00

I've decided to set a firm date for when I want to move the site. I know there isn't much on it yet, but I have a lot of plans for it and want it to have better organization. By January 31, 2008, I plan to have it moved to a new host. Of course, by then I plan to have at least 20 article packages up. Several are being planned right now and more sought-after keywords are being chosen. So, with a firm date in mind, I can make more concrete plans as to the growth of theplr.com.

Working on a Package

2007-12-23T18:33:00.001-06:00

I've been working on a package of PLR articles about herbs and herbal supplements. It should be finished tonight or tomorrow, but it's taken longer than I anticipated. With articles like these, there isn't room for any detail to be incorrect or even for the meaning to be misunderstood. I'll stick them up onto The PLR once they have been completed.

PLR Blog

2007-12-21T15:58:00.001-06:00

I've been interested in PLR articles and content for some time, and am now getting serious about my PLR site. I have consulted with a web designer because I was planning on a complete redesign to make the site easier to navigate once I get all of the content up that is planned. The web designer didn't show up to do the actual work, though, so I have a new plan. I'm moving the site to somewhere that will allow me to have a better site design and provide more customization.

My PLR site, http://www.theplr.com, is still very new and there's not yet as much content as I like. As soon as the whole Christmas thing is over I'd like to put up a new article package at least every other day, working up to one package per day if the resulting sales allow me to do so.

Why should you come to The PLR for your PLR content? Because I'm a professional. I'm not someone who dabbles in writing or thinks it might be fun to do part time. I have a degree in journalism and write for the Web full time. I've been hired to rewrite PLR articles so many times that I've literally lost count. The thing I always noticed, though, was how bad they were. Even the better ones weren't very good. I'd like to change that with my own PLR content. I'm also planning on including services that I've never seen on any other PLR site before. So, stay tuned!
