How 'useless' PLR lets me test niches out for FREE

    I posted this on another forum, but I think it's relevant to anyone in IM, so I thought I would share it here.

    A while back, I decided to start testing out 'testing niches for free.' I have several of the test 'tests' running right now, but I'm going to tell you about the two I'm getting results from.

    Here's what I did and the results I got.

    I took a PLR product I had and put up a blogspot blog
    I copied and pasted PLR into the blog
    Put up an opt-in
    Put adsense on the blog
    WENT TO YOUTUBE AND MADE A VIDEO ADSENSE PLAYER! And installed the code on a blog post.
    I SPUN, that's right SPUN, 3 articles into ONE BRAND NEW ONE using Word and a tool I just LOVE, (ContentBoss), and submitted to eza.
    The eza article is still on p.1 of the SERPS today
    I went to Clickbank and grabbed some related product affiliate links and hyperlinked some keywords in the article.
    I made a cheesy video and uploaded to Youtube.
    That's it.
    I submitted the RSS feed to the aggregators
    I submittd the video to a free online podcast directory submission site.

    Time Invested: 3-4 hours
    Adsense Revenue: $0.00
    Video Adsense Revenue: $.93
    No optins
    No Clickbank Sales

    Case Number 2:

    Yesterday, I was stuck somewhere *waiting* for several hours, so I decided to build another blog.

    I grabbed a CPA offer off a network and built a blog around it.
    I used a blogger blog
    Again, I used PLR material from my collection to populate the blog
    I grabbed links to some affiliate products from clickbank and hyperlinked the keywords to them
    I installed Adsense
    I made a Youtube video Adsense player
    Grabbed pics some royalty free pics and hyperlinked them to the CPA offer
    Plus, I hyperlinked some keywords in the blog posts to some additional CPA offers.
    Used them to make a video, uploaded to Youtube
    Once again, spun the articles to make 1 article, submitted to eza
    THEN, spun THAT article and submitted to about 15 other article directories.

    By this morning, I made one $32.00 CPA sale and it wasn't even from the primary product.

    So, today, I submitted another article, social bookmarked the site at about 15-20 social bookmarking sites. I'm anxious to see what happens tomorrow when I submit the RSS feed to the aggregators and the video to the podcast directories.

    Gotta love those blogger blogs and PLR.

    P.S. Update- $300.00 give or take in CPA commissions
    Adsense and Video Adsense earnings remain the same.
