hi everybody! I ve been studying medicine for 5 years and in university we have a research group i am leading.I am also interested in web developing but i can do less cuz i cant work on it that much. For my research group studies i ve collected more than 2000 pages of unique articles that hasnt been realised on internet before.It contains diseases,threatments,medicines,news and more.The good point is both patients and doctors even medicine students can benefit from them also has an easy language for everybody to understand.If i could make web portals i should go on it cuz i know google loves unique content as far as i consider.And i could earn good money from ads, hospitals-medicine companies pay good for advertisements.The problem is i dont know to prepare a good web portal and if a use a GPL i think i can waste all the content even the site wouldnt seem so prefessional.I'd like to get PLR to sell teh content and make some money for myself and the research group.I would be pleased if someone helps me about this. Thank you
Where did these articles come from? You need to make sure you've got rights on them for whatever your doing. If you pulled them out of a research database like EBSCO, you cannot reprint them online. If you've written them yourself you can sell PLR (which is what I think you're asking) and make a bit of money upfront. You might be better off collecting them into focused niches (like, one per disease/condition/ ect.) and creating sites out of them.
i think i have the rights to publish or sell them as long as i lead the research group.Authors of the articles are also doctors of our university hospital,and the medicine students with whom that i ve been working for years.
I would make sure that you have the rights. If not, you can wind up in a sticky situation. That being said, Constant-Content would work as would ContentTycoon. Both have rather stringent standards about quality, FYI. Another option is to pull them into smaller packs on particular topics and offer them through the Content forum here on DP. Rebecca
The core question here, though, is: does anybody want them? I'm not being critical here, but speaking more to the realities of search. If the articles are consumer-friendly and aimed at something like diabetes, you'll probably have a good market. If they are technical and aimed at medical professionals, you'll have a much more limited market. It's not enough just to have content. It has to be content that people are searching for. In either case, good luck.
i think they are consumer friendly contents,less medical terms has friendy language everyone can understand.But what about the prices? how much should i ask for 2000 pages of unique health content?
To figure out the top range, go to Elance and spend some time looking at what people will charge and pay for similar articles. Again, this will give you only the topmost limit, as Elancers tend to be fairly pricey. So at least you'll know what price you cannot exceed. As for the bottom limit...hmmm, can't help there.
I disagree that Elance tends to bring in top dollar. Without seeing a sample of the work, I can't offer an idea of what to charge. Elance writers are all over the board. Some are very inexpensive content writers and a (very) few charge professional rates. Most articles, if they are more than keyword content, run anywhere from $0.05 - $1 per word.
So you've essentially admitted that you didn't write the articles. Then, no, you don't have the rights to republish and monetize them. Especially if these are written by medical professionals, there are legal implications of publishing their medical "advice" and such without their consent, and not only from a copyright standpoint. If you don't have something in writing turning over the copyright to you, or similar rights adequate to grant the right to profit from the work, you shouldn't be using them online. The fact that doctors would generally have deep enough pockets to sue you if they wanted to over it is a pretty good reason to start. If you want to make money online from content, write your own.
i am smart enough to take permissions from the doctors of my hospital (my teachers) before i publish them! And also in the research group i am the only person who have rights to publish them as i lead the group + i' ve spent a lots of time to gather them under topics and change the language as patient frinedly(i mean easy understanding).
My point is that you better have something in writing (like a copyright assignment). Having the right to "publish" is not the same as having the right to "monetize" the work of someone in your research group. You'd better make sure you have the right to make money from their work before you try to. Also keep in mind that having the rights to use an article doesn't mean you have the right to edit and then use it. Those are completely different rights, and again, you'd better have proof of that to protect yourself. It's a money-making niche, meaning you run a bigger risk of problems if you're suddenly successful and people decide they want a cut for their efforts, and you don't have anything legally laid out in writing as proof of rights being transferred. Even an email is better than nothing, detailing each piece. But a contract or copyright assignment would be better. I'm not trying to rain on your parade. You asked for advice, and you're getting it from several professionals on this board who work in exclusive content, monetizing their own content, and using PLR content. Just don't take it lightly.
Jhmattern thank you for your nice advices! I will decide to sell them after considering the rabels&rights situation.For further details is it possible for me to send you pm and ask about the circumstances?
Hi, I buy a lot of PLR related content and get most of my stuff from people at the Warrior Forum. (can google it) Have a good day. Dino
