How to use PLR materials to boost your web traffic and sites revenue potential

There are two types of PLR materials that I use - articles and eBooks. Let me first tell you about the articles.

One thing I do not do is use the PLR material on my site as content/articles. Nope. Never. I don’t even attempt to re-write them. However, I do use them.

 Use #1 - Collect 10 or more PLR articles on a particular topic, and compile them into an eBook/report. Using something like OpenOffice (free MS Office replacement), anyone can create PDF files (it has this as a built in feature), and these are the ideal format for your reports (since they are platform independent, and can be read on PCs and Macs). Most importantly after you have created your e-book or report in pdf format, you're going to want to protect it from theives who'll change your book to their own, or buy it then ask for a refund while keeping the Ebook. Ebook pro allows you to protect your pdf and keeps the thieves out

As you compile the reports, you can insert more information if you wish, plus affiliate links and other stuff that will make you sales, or bring traffic to your site. Offer these reports as a free download, or charge for them. That is your choice.

Use #2 - Collect 5 or more PLR articles on a particular topic, and set them up in an autoresponder sequence. Then, when someone comes to your site, they can sign up for the autoresponder, and they will then automatically be sent your “course” at your predetermined interval (one a day, or once a week etc.). In these autoresponder articles, you can pre-sell a product, whether that is your own, or a product you sell as an affiliate. The other great thing to do within these “courses”, is refer to articles on your site, which you set up as Adsense earners. Then, as people sign up for your course, they are sent to money-generating pages on your site, and exposed to pre-sell and affiliate links for products you promote.

OK, that is how I use PLR articles. What about PLR eBooks? Well, I simply turn these into reports. I do edit these, but not to change the material. I edit them to insert more information.

#1 - I’ll create reviews of relevant products, and add these to the report.
#2 - I’ll insert links to my web pages within the report, so that the reader will go to my site, and possibly click on my Adsense ads, or visit the merchants I promote.
#3 - I’ll insert a FAQ section (again, with links that point to articles on my site. Yes, you guessed it, those articles are setup for Adsense or affiliate pre-sell).~
#4 - I’ll include a sign up form for my autoresponder course within the eBook, just in case they missed it while on my site. If they had to sign up to the autoresponder to get the report, I’ll setup a second autoresponder (maybe a product review autoresponder, where I’ll review 10 products over the next 10 days).
#5 - I’ll include a questionnaire at the end of the report, to ask readers what they are looking for, If you can get readers to tell you what they want, you can build pages to provide it for them.

I’ll then compile it all together, and offer it as a free download (sometimes as a bonus for signing up for my autoresponder).

This type of setup can create a huge web for your site, sucking visitors in and keeping them exposed to your money-generating pages/links. Try it.

Now, you may be thinking about the best sources for PLR material. Well, I have two favourites that I have been a member of since they first opened. Article Underground was the first one, but their doors are going to be quickly closed and not taking in new members, they do this every now and again so I suggest you jump in now. The other ones I like are Kim Standerline’s sites. I am a scientist by training, so her health products are perfect for me. She runs two sites - one for eBooks, and one for articles. Both sites usually compliment each other with the niche articles from her article site, mirroring the eBook topics on the other site.

Now, for those on a budget who want to get started with PLR stuff, I would recommend you sign up for Kim’s eBook membership site. With this membership, not only do you get an eBook, but you also get a bunch of articles as well. I just checked this month, and there are 25 articles to go with the eBook. What more could you need to get started with PLR material? Well, a website would be nice, wouldn’t it? Well, Kim even gives you an Adsense site on the niche. This is not my favourite part of her membership site, as I believe there are no short-cuts to creating a site that will earn good m0ney. I would recommend you build your own quality site, and if you are interested in doing that, read the next section, since the topic discussed there is the same as this months topic on Kim’s site.
