My bestfriend keeps giving PLR articles and I never know what to do with them so I have roughly around 700 I know fa sure over 500. My question is what should I do with them? I need some suggestion. I appreciate any advice possible. Kip
Try to sell them at the freebies section mentioning that they are PLR articles. Though you can get very little money from that, that is better than being with nothing.
As jagan says, you can sell the PLR articles here on DP or any other related site for profit. Also, another option, which will undoubtedly get you more money, is to rewrite the articles so that they pass Copyscape and are unique, and then sell them as a pack. This way, people will pay more for them as they are unique.
You will have two option. You can sell your PLR collection at Freebie section or Content Section. Or you can do re-write those articles and sell them at higher price or you can use it to put on blogs and website too. You must take care that it will pass CopyScape test.
Man it wasn't copy. It's re-write. Well I guess you posted post when I was typing here from my desktop keypad which is really wired one.
Fair enough, I wasn't trying to have a go, just wondering why our replies were so similar BTW, to the original poster, if you do rewrite, then you have two choices. You can either sell the articles to one person, or sell them to many different people, again with PLR rights. If you do the first, then be sure to charge higher than if you do the second
If you're building a mailing list, you can offer a pack as a bonus for signing up. Then that gives you an audience who will want future PLR articles that will help you market them in the future.
Step 1. Buy 50 niche-related domains with free hosting for a year. Step 2. Rewrite 10 articles for each site emphasizing a particular keyword or two. Step 3. Do a bit of marketing for each site as you finish it and allow traffic to build a bit. Step 4. Monetize using paid links, ads, AdSense (or similar) or sell each site outright to a buyer. If you buy a domain for less than $10, rewrite the articles yourself and put them on the site using a basic, free or cheap template, you'll have a site created for less than $25. Age it, market it, and then sell it for $100-$500 and you'll make a nice return on your investment if you can wait that long for a return. Building traffic and showing profit from the site can earn you larger amounts in a sale or over time if you add the site to your arsenal.
I mean that, should you rewrite them and sell them on, you have two choices. You can either sell them uniquely to one person, or sell them on as PLR to many different people. The first option, selling them to only 1 person, would get you a reasonably high one off amount, but selling them to many different people will get you a lower, but constant earning. In hindsight, I would definately had put the same point internetauthor has made. This could make you a lot of money if you do some SEO work, and will also fetch quite a lot if/when you come to sell the sites on.
If your articles are quality or at least decent content that attract people rather than turning them away to escape through your ads, your site is just one of millions of small sites or blogs online. A small website with decent content is an information site. If adsense scares you, use affiliate ads or links instead. Most MFA sites have crap articles that don't make sense. They are designed to turn people away rather than bringing them back. Adsense is just one way to monetize a site, information or otherwise.
Ah, I see, so basically a quality site that has AdSense is totally OK if the intention is to get people onto the site, but if the intention is to turn people away then it's MFA. Thanks for the explanation.
That's my take on it. If I build a site with the sole purpose of putting ads on it and driving people to the ads, I've made it for adsense. If I build it so that people can read interesting things and just happen to have adsense on it, that would be a totally different matter - especially because my goal would be to keep the visitor on the site moving from one article to another rather than clicking away on sneakily placed ads that sound much better than what I've made available for users.
Yea true I think I'm going to sell them. I have have over 11,000 so i might just sell them as is for like 50 or 75 cents an article. If anyone's interested let me know. Thanks for all the help everybody!
Hi Kip, Keep some of those before you sell them off or put them on sites for adsense. Webgal's thought is a true one that works very well. Many people purchase PLR packages simply to use them as ecourses as an enticement for joining a mailing list. So if you have plenty of them you can surely get a bunch of potential prospects coming to your site and deciding to join. That is if you have a website. Cheers~
gotcha, well even if you start out small you can hit up the .info sites right now for $1.99. They come with 5 free pages, but if you want unlimited pages you can purchase the $12.99 a month hosting setup. Then you can start doing a little bit of everything that people have suggested here. Or at least the ones you find suitable for yourself. Good luck!
