Affiliate marketing, product creation, blogging, Kindle/Nook or CPA offers; they all have one very important factor in common. They all require content.
You need content for your site, your marketing, your videos and your social media sharing. You use content in your podcasting, forum posting, content sharing and blog posts. So, basically, you need content for just about anything in order to create or promote your online products and services.
But, if you’re like most people, creating and managing all of that content is time consuming and generally just a pain in the neck!
You can outsource writing for as low as $5 an article (500 words) to $40.00 and up. Or you can sit at the computer for most of the day, typing until your fingers hurt. But there is a third alternative! You can use what the gurus have been using and profiting from for years now.
The difference between how they use this resource and how you have used it in the past is often the difference between their income and yours. They use it to leverage their knowledge and time by using specific techniques so that even the search engines recognize it as original content.
No black hat work-around techniques. This is straight-up, just-what-Matt-Cutts-ordered original content, infused with your ideas and your voice.
Definition
Private label rights, also known as PLR has been sold online for about a decade now. Unfortunately, it has developed a bad reputation from poor business practices.
However, true to the original intent of the product, you can still find some of it that retains its quality and versatility.
Basically, PLR is content is written by one person and sold to multiple people at a reduced price. So, while one original article written for a client may cost as much as $40.00, a quality PLR article may cost just 20 cents!
Each author who sells PLR will define exactly what you can and cannot do with the material. So, be aware of the terms of use and understand that there is NO legal definition of PLR. This means that any court will define the use of the content you purchased by the terms of use published by the PLR author.
Best Practices
In order to achieve the originality demanded by search engines to please their customers, there are specific techniques that must be used. The true gold of using private label rights is the research behind the content. Good PLR is researched first and written second. With some rewriting, quality PLR will give you enough solid information so you can add your voice and ideas to create an original work.
This means that you are not facing a blank white screen, unsure of where to start your content creation. But rather you have ideas, thoughts, philosophies and wisdom already on the screen, ready for you to instill with your own voice and ideas.

My youngest son loves to collect baseball cards. He thinks nothing of plunking down $3.95 of my money for a packet of 12 cards. He'd do it every week if he could.
