Quick Steps to Editing PLR to Make it Your Own

Hey there, and happy day. Wanted to remind you of how easy it is to turn PLR content into your own creation.

First you must get into the mindset. Believe it or not this is the biggest hurdle. You have to want to connect with the topic. If you look at it and your brain goes bleahhh, then you’re not going to get very far in this project.

Try to get past that because you’re really missing out on some profit potential here if you don’t ever look at the wonderful content in your member area. Seriously.

Next just take one article or one document and skim through the entire piece. You don’t have to go over it with a fine tooth comb yet. You just want to get an idea of the topic and the main ideas presented.

The action you take next depends on what you’re doing with this content and how much of it you plan to use. If it’s for a single blog post, this is pretty straightforward.

Just open the document, read through the one article. Then consider what your own thoughts are about this. Take that and turn it into an article title.

Next customize the first paragraph. The easiest thing might be just to scrap the first paragraph and dictate a couple sentences of your own.

Your first paragraph should flow from the title that you chose to replace with what was there.

Next if you want the content to be a little bit different, replace the main lead-in or H2 or H3 headline for each section. Just rewrite the sentence. Check to see if it flows with the rest of the sentences in that paragraph. Edit as needed.

Next, change around the order of points made. If some of the main points don’t jive with how you think, feel free to dictate your own ideas about what’s being said here.

Remember that PLR is a draft. So you should have some strong thoughts about what’s being said. You can either love the ideas or hate the ideas but either way having your own opinion will help you rewrite or edit the content to reflect your own communication style and opinions.

Again, if you come across a point that you absolutely do not agree with then by all means delete it and make the point in your own way.

The real key is to engage with the content. You really have to picture the writer, typically me, or another Wordfeeder writer. Imagine that you are creating a draft based on what your ghostwriter gave you… because that’s actually what happened.

Thinking about PLR in the wrong way is what stops you from succeeding with using it, turning it into your own products and marketing communication, and making a lot of money doing that.

Think about it. If you wanted to get going on a project you might feel impatient waiting for someone whom you hired to come up with a starting draft for you to work with. You would be drumming your fingers on the desk wondering what was taking your writer so long to turn something around.

If you go into your Wordfeeder member area, especially as a monthly paid member, you have tons of content just sitting there waiting for you to do exactly this. The key is to actually look and read the titles, decide that you’re going to commit to making something from this content, and then transforming it.

If you’e already doing this with our content, great! I love to see how people manage to make use of the drafts that we supply.

A lady sent me a link to her fabulous stress management course that she created using our PLR course as a jumping point. She added so many wonderful ideas and it was clear that she was an expert psychology professional and self-help guide. She turned certain parts of the content pack that she purchased on Wordfeeder into her own spoken video tutorials.

It was really a terrific, high value course when all was said and done, and I’m so glad she shared with me.

Know what else? You actually don’t have to edit PLR if you don’t want to. Chances are the people who sign up for your list will be very happy purchasing an ebook from you that’s based on what’s been written already.

Our content is good quality and you can easily add your own branding and upsells.

I’m currently running a bunch of 40% off and $20 off deals on the homepage of the Wordfeeder site. There you’ll find links that lead to our fall home organization PLR, essential oils PLR, gratitude content, and even some holiday stress articles if you want to really get ahead of yourself.

Remember, the one thing that stops people from getting anywhere with their content is refusing to engage with it. So just pick a topic. Commit to making it into something, and then do that.

Most of our current offers end September 10th. But why wait? Now is the time to plan and prep for your website because the busy holidays are just around the corner.

See what we have for you at wordfeeder.com.

Thanks for supporting my freelance writing business. I love what I do and I hope I can be of use in your profit producing plans.

How do you make search engines love your blog posts?

Unless you’re in a really obscure niche,l reptile owners who love cooking scrambled egg dishes, you probably have some pretty steep competition when it comes to getting your blog posts to top the search engine list when people hunt online for what you’ve got going on.

Of course, even if you are that reptile owner who has 64 different ways to make scrambled eggs there’s probably only two people searching for that.

They will find you if you blog about those things, yes. But since there’s only two of them, you might not want to target quite that specifically.

Most people who have a basic knowledge of search engine marketing know that you’ve got to get your keywords into the blog post titles, the main title of the blog itself, and the H1 and H2 and h3 headlines.

But if everyone who’s blogging is aware of that, what can you do in addition, to make sure your blog posts are noticed first?

Go deep with your exploration of a specific topic. So if you’re talking about email marketing this week, don’t just post one post about that. Post six or seven or 10 articles covering the topic.

Seems like a lot, but not so much if you break it down into a list of topics and then break each topic into a list of main ideas with you then write a couple supporting sentences for.

What else can you do to differentiate your blog posts? My best advice is to include different types of media to reach different learners.

So if today’s blog post on email newsletter publishing talks about how you can set up a product to sell right from your email newsletter platform such as aweber, then don’t just post a five tip or seven tip article.

Instead also make a video tutorial. If you dictate the same exact article, that’s okay. You’re not going to get search engine penalized for something like that.

You can even go a step further with your visuals. If you’re doing a how to, take screenshots that walk your readers through each step.

So if you’re inside the aweber platform and you’re trying to let people know the basics of setting up a product to sell there, screenshot your way through. Block out all personal information that relates to your account, then turn into JPEG files that you can share on your blog.

So the one blog post that has a very organized article telling people how to set up digital products to sell via their email newsletter platform, and then also publishes a video on the same topic, and then finally publishes a series of instructional images or a pictorial to further clarify meaning, will really outdo any other blog posts on the same topic that only post a video or only post an article, or do post a couple of those but the details don’t really specify as well as they could.
