www.inkthinkerblog.com — On Tuesday, we talked about just what private label rights (PLR) articles are, and yesterday we talked about how to create a PLR article. Today, in the last part of this three-part series on PLR articles, we’ll talk about how you can turn PLR articles into freelance income.
How Can I Start My Own PLR Business?
The most important thing, in my opinion, to consider when starting a PLR business is if you can commit time to it. A PLR article business needs quick turnaround. Are you able to quickly write articles on a wide variety of topics in a short amount of time? If not, you may need to consider other income possibilities.
One of the easiest ways to test the waters is to join an Internet marketing forum such as the Warrior Forum. Browse through the topics and get to know people. Once you have interacted with the community for a while (give it at least a month or so), you’ll be able to post a WSO (Warrior Special Offer). Here you can offer a pack of PLR articles for a special price.
It is important to test the market first before you plunge into a PLR business. Get some feedback and testimonials from marketers. Find out what they want and need. See if they like your PLR content. If your WSO is well-received, follow the first one with a second one in another week. Do this every week for 1 or 2 months. You’ll be able to determine whether or not this is something you still want to do, and you’ll also be building trust between you and your market.
After your initial run of PLR sales is complete, do a quick review. Did you net a good profit? Did you lose money? What topics were more popular than others? What kind of feedback did you receive?
If after doing this you still want to run your own PLR business, grab a domain name and get busy. Build a compatible website and start selling your PLR. Remember, marketing is key, as it is with any type of business you do. While getting started might take some time, once your name starts getting out there, you’ll start seeing more and more business over time.

Has anyone considered that selling PLR content is pretty much taking a hit on the entire profession of copywriting? You’re basically undermining our value by cranking out low-cost content and reselling it really cheap.
I mean really, you’re taking down the entire profession by doing this. When you turn around tomorrow and want to charge your clients $40, $50, $70 or $100 for your work, and they object because “they can get content cheaper,” this is why?
It’s worse than syndicated articles. At least in that case, you get credit and link love in exchange.
Am I alone here in this feeling? I mean really, copywriters complain plenty about how difficult the article crap factories make it for us to be paid what we’re worth, and here the PLR copywriters are actually contributing to the problem.
Oh: I meant “per hour,” I forgot to add “per hour” after $40, $50, $70, $100″.
