If I were to take a dozen or two plr articles, use them for ideas, rewrite them completely, and offer them for sale, do you think that this would go over poorly? The content would be totally rewritten, albeit in the same form and thought-flow as the original article. Essentially, it would be paraphrased, but with a few of my own ideas thrown in. I would tell the prospective client upfront that these are rewrites of plr content, and I would be selling them relatively cheaply (maybe $2 per article) since they are not totally unique. I don't see what the problem would be. The only thing that I think could happen is if some else rewrote the same plr article and tried to claim that my rewrite was a derivative of his work. However, I could prove that my original article was from a plr. Personally, I think that this situation would be rare and that the person buying the articles should understand that since they are derived from plr articles, there is a possibility of them resembling some other work. Maybe I will even make them explicitly aware of this possibility. What do you think? Thanks.
Why don't you just write a real article and sell it for $5 instead of rewriting someone else work for $2. Unless you are just running a spinner then people will probably refuse to pay you $2.
The rewrites would all be done by hand and proofread. I definitely understand your point on original content, but it is a lot faster for me to rewrite these plr articles and, besides, I kind of want to get some use out of them. I just don't want my buyer getting ticked and thinking that I ripped-off someone else's content. Thanks for your input.
Hi, I sometimes do that myself. When it's a hard niche and I can not find it anywhere else, I have 10,000 Plus PLR articles on almost every single subject you can think about so I try and use them to help me with my writes but I make sure that all of my writes are unique and pass copy scape, regardless if I use the idea from a PLR article. I must say that 99.9 percent of the time, I really do not use PLR articles. I save that for a emergency only but I do see how it could be turned into a money making profit. Good luck if you try it.
I guess it depends on how good your rewriting skills are. I have got some articles before and then looked at and they were just rewrites off of the first couple of sites in google and they were the same info just shuffled around. So to me they were worthless..I paid for them because the person did the work then I had to rewrite them. I never used the writer again.
I see your point. However, for someone who wanted some copyscape passed content to stick up on his site and did not want to spend much, then this might just be what he is looking for. Your first post, however, is starting to make me lean more towards writing my own original content, just simply for the increased potential markup.
Yeah I'm sure you can sell rewrites for $2. if they are on a subject people want, especially if you put them in a pack 5 for $10. It just not that much money though seems like a lot of work for $10.
What are some good subjects in your opinion? Is general small business in demand? How does one go about finding popular topics? Sorry for all the questions; thanks for all the replys.
IMO if something is popular it is played out.. and the market is flooded. But people still invest in a flooded market, so I guess popular sells. If you play around with google keywords tool you can find lots of popual searches and subjects. https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal I don't really keep up on what is popular I make my money off of small businesses that need websites. On my spare time I makes sites and sell them, I always try to find future treads that I find interesting or little niches I find interesting.
If you combine 2 or more PLR articles and use it to present something new, you're technically using the PLRs only as research data. For example, let's say you have an article on Shakespeare, and another on John Donne. Using these two, you come up with an article on how each one's work may have influenced the other(they were contemporaries). In this case, you are fully justified in calling your work original, since the correlations and deductions are all your own. Whenever you rewrite, try to restructure with it. This adds originality, increases the reader's pleasure, and gives you higher value.
I was wondering on that subject; that is, how many sources I had to get my information from in order for it to be unique. Also, good tip on the restructuring of the plr content. I definitely try to do that in addition to adding in some of my own observations. Thanks for you knowledge.
