Another Lesson re-Learned

I admit it, I am a junkie for IM ideas. I am a real sucker for PLR and “How to Write yada yada”.

Because I am the info junkie I do come across ALOT of excellent offers, usually they come with a freebie attached to an upgrade…

So what is the lesson I received?

Well….I have been forwarding those opportunities to my small but esteemed list…

not bad in itself…

However, I have been relying on the freebie part as my content. BAD IDEA it smells of I WANT TO SELL YOU SOMETHING !!!

Keys to Killer PLR

I know this has been promised…and its a bit longer in the wait than I planned…

Before you can rewrite PLR you need to have some…I know, duhh.
However what I suggest is the PLR you accumulate have the following attributes;
1. Title
2. Introduction
3. A couple 3 or 4 paragraphs of content
4. Summary

Now if you have a boatload of PLR articles that do not meet these criteria DON’T pitch them. They will simply require a little more time for the rewrite.

Anyone Else Had This Happen?

I recently sent a “Bonus” download page to my list. It has several freebies…BUT…there are just as many upgrades offered. Now the freebies are awsome…I thought…

BUT…

I received an email from someone who just had to tell me I am a jerk for sending something that offered freebies and then an upgrade.

On one hand I felt pretty bad…on the other I was just trying to offer what I felt was good stuff…and yeup the upgrades were good as well.

So has anyone else experienced this and what did you do?

An Open Apology

I absolutely have to apologize to all who followed…

Recently I promoted a JV Giveaway event, Valentine Free Giveaway. All was going well. I added my products, sent a contributor link to my list, after opening day I heavily promoted it to my list again for members.

But I didn’t check the giveaway again until just this morning..

Dang it, I have learned a hard lesson…This giveaway is promoting “Adult” content…(HOLY CRAP…that is totally the other way from my beliefs, human dignity deserves more..but no more preaching)…

Internet Marketing Humor

This cracked me up…

There are many more at the link above…have a laugh.

Rewriting PLR is essential and easy

PLR, private label rights, comes in many different forms. Articles and books or reports are primary forms.

Let me address a reason not commonly reported for why it is essential to rewrite. When you are going to put your name on something, your reputation goes with it. Why are you writing content anyhow? To develop trust from your readers and show your expertise. When you write you develop a “voice” thats how you say things in your prose. If you simply cut and paste from a source, your voice is not projected your content is someone elses, your readership may not put a defenition on it, but they know its not you. And your genuineness is tainted.
