If you are trying to succeed with ebook marketing, PLR products (Private Label Rights) may give you some real advantages. PLR products are normally not only quite easy on the pocket, but they also will save you from lots of research and writing. Using PLR e-books and articles are therefore a great way to create a decent ROI (return on investment).
But there are dangers lurking with PLR content. For many online business owners know the value of Private Label Rights e-books and articles and are using it to its full extent. In real figures, the same PLR articles and PLR ebooks may have been sold to hundreds or even thousands of customers, who then may have posted the material on their web sites, with or without changing it a lot.
Succeeding with PLR
Consequently, we can say the following on how to rewrite your PLR ebook or article: your rewriting have to be done in a manner as to guarantee that the end result becomes actually unique. If you do, it may very well serve you better in the search engines. Having unique material will always be a plus as seen from the viewpoint of the search engine robots.
The potential customers are, of course, another motivation to provide good content: for who wants to visit a new website and read an article or ebook that one already has read somewhere else? And the potential customers may not be as accepting or forgiving as the search engines may be, in terms of overlooking a (nearly) identical article or ebook. It is therefore vital that you spend some real time and effort rewriting the PLR e-books and articles adequately, so that they may serve both you and your customers well.
Yet another reason for a more thorough rewrite of the PLR material is that no two writers think exactly the same. So after having bought the PLR article or ebook, you may very well find that the text is not as comprehensive or targeted as you would have liked it to be. Or perhaps it is out-of-date, so that it requires to be modernized? Or perhaps the original writer is using a tone of voice that is simply unacceptable to you, or to your readers? Whatever the exact reason, you should seriously consider a rewrite.
Here are some, I hope, helpful ways of how to rewrite your PLR ebook or PLR article for better results:
1. Changing the main title
Sometimes Private Label Rights materials have badly chosen titles. Thus, you may want to change it into something which is more to the point. For proper search engine optimization (SEO), you must be especially careful to choose the exact title.
But even though the original title of the PLR e-book or article is well chosen and fits with its content, you must still change it. In that case the challenge is that you may not be able to change it entirely. However, it is better to make it just a little different and still staying on topic, than it is to make the title very different but not keeping the main keywords in the title.
2. Reorganizing paragraphs
It is not uncommon to find that, especially in low-quality PLR content, that paragraphs are arranged in a somewhat peculiar order. There may be many reasons for this, including that the paragraphs may not originally have been written to produce the current PLR text.
One way to “rewrite” such a PLR ebook or article is therefore just to reorganize the paragraphs in the text. By moving one paragraph before another, the total flow of the article (or ebook) could become significantly enhanced. And the advantage of this method is that there is no actual typing involved!
3. Removing paragraphs
Erasing one or several paragraphs is another approach to “rewrite” or reorganize the paragraphs. This technique may be especially suitable to make use of when one is editing PLR articles and PLR ebooks of low quality, which may have numerous paragraphs that fit badly with the topic of the PLR article or ebook.
4. Rewriting paragraphs
Another way of editing the PLR ebook or PLR article may be to perform some substitution editing. This is technique where you keep the same overall paragraph idea, but express it in other words. So doing some substitution editing of the phrase “Forex trading is a profitable business” may, for instance, generate phrases such as “Foreign exchange currency trading is a lucrative business”.
5. Extend paragraphs
It is true that expanding a paragraph might be thought of as just another way of rewriting a paragraph, and as such it should simply be a part of the previous method. However, I wish to hold on to the the further development of a paragraph as a separate point, for it is a method by which one can change thePLR text into an even more unique and useful product for your clientele.
My idea of expanding paragraphs is, however, not just a point about putting more words into the text. It is about adding new “items” in the text. Examples can be new reasons, new arguments, new conclusions, new questions, new data, etc.
It is natural that such additions may result in paragraphs that are very long. So it may be wise to split them up as you go. This only makes your article or ebook even more unique.
6. Including Related Links
In some PLR products you may find included certain helpful links and keywords that were used to assemble the product. Sometimes you may decide to put some of these links and keywords into your reworked text. At other times you may decide that you wish to add your own links or keywords instead.
Be very cautious, however, with relevance. Do not add links that are not relevant to the main text. For example, in an article on how to cook vegetables, don’t include an affiliate link to your “solar power” product or to some other article on, say, your expertise as a dolphin trainer. Be relevant!
Final remarks
It is certainly doable to succeed online by using PLR articles and PLR e-books. But in order to serve the customer well, one has to be careful to make the products not only unique but also understandable and informative.
Adding other items to your article or e-book, such as graphics and videos, might make your audience even more delighted. So give your content the individual touch your readers may be looking for, and then wait for conversions!
