Read on to find out my favorite shortcut to creating content & products.
What is PLR?
I think of PLR as a starter template or guide to help me create things faster and better, for you. If you’re familiar with the term “White Label” or “licensing” or “ghost writing”, this is a similar concept. Someone else has gone to the trouble of researching, and putting together content/training on a specific topic, and then sells it to more than one person/company.
It’s an affordable way to outsource a big part of content creation. Whether it be a course or program you want to create, a membership site, or regular blog content.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights
Which mean you are purchasing the right to use the content, put your own name on it to resell it, or in some cases, you can give it away. Each seller chooses the terms of sale. Some will say that you can give it away free, others say it can’t be sold for less than $27. It’s important to read these terms before making a purchase. And of course, to make a plan of how you will use it.
PLR is something that can become a bit of a buying addiction, so please be careful if you’re prone to shopping addictions. And sellers of PLR are wise marketers, so you will likely feel a sense of urgency (the sale is only this weekend, they are only selling to X number of customers, or the price is going up with every sale “dime sales”).
Only buy it if you will actually use it. And, be sure to have a system in place for tracking your purchases.

Wow! This sounds pretty cool. I have a blog I would love to start but haven’t found the time and organization to fit it in since I thought of it many months ago. This might be the trick.
PLR is a lifesaver when you need a little inspiration! It’s easy to take quality PLR and tweak it to fit your business and your particular writing style.
I love using PLR as a fill in for those times my brain is not functional, which is pretty often these days! 🙂
I’ve used PLR in the past but not for a long time…..great reminder for times when I need some inspiration or am just out of time.
