What is PLR and What is it For?
If you’ve been doing internet marketing for any length of time at all, you’ve probably come across the term PLR (private label rights). So, what is PLR and how is it different from master resell rights (MRR) and other licenses? Do these differences even matter?
PLR is a licensing standard for products which fall under the intellectual property umbrella. This includes audio recordings, video content and written materials. PLR licenses may vary slightly from one license to another, but broadly speaking they permit the purchaser to use the licensed material any way they choose.
Someone wrote, designed or recorded this content. However, they for one reason or another have decided against selling these products themselves and they license it to other people or businesses to market and sell instead.
You can find PLR materials for sale on many websites, some of which require a membership to use their content, others which are available for anyone to browse. Many of the membership sites don’t allow you to choose what content they provide you, so you’ll want to be certain that they offer a lot of material which you can use before you commit to these sites. The unrestricted PLR sites allow you to pick the content you want to purchase, which is often the better deal for people who work in niche marketing.
The PLR license applying to the material will explain exactly what you can and cannot do with this content. The best PLR content is material which has an unconditional use license so that you can do anything and everything you want with it. You can use it as is, rewrite, remix and alter it in any way you see fit. You can even turn around and sell this content to others!
However, it’s important to read the license carefully before you buy any PLR material. You may find that the license prohibits you from doing something with this content which you’d intended to do. If so, then simply keep looking. There’s a lot of good PLR-licensed material out there to choose from.
Before buying any content, have a look at it so you can see if it’s worth paying for (PLR material ranges from top quality professionally produced material to completely worthless, so always check before you buy). You’ll also want to take a look at how many others have already used this material on the web. Google a sentence or two in quotation marks to pull up only exact matches.
Unconditional private label rights content can save you a lot of time and money. You can choose to spend a great many hours creating information products yourself, pay a lot money to freelancers to do the work for you, or get top quality PLR content for only $50 to $200. So, if you value your time and money, PLR could be the best solution.
