Hello everyone, I have been seriously considering offering PLR (Private Label Rights) articles for sale here at Digital Point. I have a team of copywrighters who are all based in the US and all without exception would produce amazing quality articles. Hopefully many of you know about BUM marketing and the use of PLR articles to get inbound links or add content to your site. All PLR articles would be 500 words long and would be sold in batches of 8 articles. Anyway I have 2 main questions Would you be interested in buying PRL articles? How much would you consider a reasonable price? With Thanks
The only thing is, you can't use PLR articles in article directories, which is what Bum Marketing is all about. The articles would have to be completely re-written first. What you could do is offer custom articles at affordable prices, or sell PLR articles with an optional re-writing service for an additional fee. I bet plenty of marketers would take you up on it if your writers are good! Just some ideas for you, hope they help.
My issue with every PLR article product/service I've ever looked at (and I admit I haven't done so in over a year) has been the poor quality of the articles, just generic crap that I wouldn't want my name associated with. I'm not up to speed on bum marketing so quality might not be an issue if you're just trying to get links... Honestly it would take some amazing articles to get me to even consider paying for PLR.
Sorry to hear that you've had such bad luck. All PLR articles aren't that way though fortunately. You just have to know who you're buying from, and make sure you're buying something original rather than just simple Web research or rewritten PLR content from someone else.
I agree with the poster who mentioned the quality of PLR articles. Before I began writing them, I bought a few packs to see the average word count, quality, etc. Most of them had multiple spelling and grammar errors and were written with only keywords in mind. Once I started offering my PLR articles, I focused on writing readable articles that had keyword density as a second focus. I think that makes a difference in the quality of the PLR articles. I might charge a little more (not much) but I also proofread my work before sending it out, make sure that each article has the proper word count, research each article, and focus on the audience when writing, so it's worth it to those who have bought from me. As for submitting to article directories, you cannot submit PLR articles to them because of duplicate content rules. However, PLR rewriting services will cost you about $2.75 per article and you can have a totally new article to submit to directories without paying $25 or $50 for original writing. When I offer this rewriting service to my clients, I use Dupe Free Pro to compare the PLR article with my rewrite to ensure that the new article is unique enough to submit to directories; this would be a good tool for those of you rewriting articles on their own.
Why? why no chance? I think like jhmattern said, not all PLR articles are bad, there are some with good quality. articlewriter, I like your post, especially this one: I believe you can make good PLR articles if you consistently do that, that's how an article should be made.
