"What Can you Do with PLR Articles?"

"What Can you Do with PLR Articles?"

By Nicole Dean of http://www.easyplr.com/go.php?af=977615

You may have seen the term Private Label Rights or PLR articles being tossed around frequently lately. PLR articles are articles you can buy (usually in packages or as part of a membership) that you may edit and use as you wish. Unlike free reprint articles, you are not required to link back to anyone else’s website which makes them appealing to many web publishers.

Once you understand the concept behind PLR articles, you can see why they are appealing. Most people can envision the value of adding the articles to their websites. But, did you know there are more ways to use PLR articles than that?

1. Add them to your blog.

Similar to adding PLR articles to your website, you can take excerpts and use them on your blog for fresh content. Whether you take a portion and use it as a “tip of the day” or use the entire article, PLR articles can be a huge time saver for you.

2. Send them in your newsletter.

Need content for your newsletter? PLR articles are an option. Of course, if you’re developing a relationship with your readers, you may wish to edit the articles to make them your own voice. However, you can pull a section from a PLR article – use it as inspiration — and whip out a newsletter in minutes.

3. Start an ecourse

If you purchase a package of PLR articles based on a theme, it’s quite easy to turn them into an ecourse simply by adding them to your auto-responder. Something as simple as “Five Ideas for Kids Lunches” can become a 5 day ecourse to grow a big newsletter list.

4. Use them in your podcast

Take a PLR article and use it as inspiration for a podcast. Add the content and you’re done.

5. Send them in a print mailing

Direct mailing is huge. If you have a list of postal mailing addresses, put together a free report from PLR articles and send it out.

6. Create a special report

Simply bulk together some PLR articles that have the same topic, and make them flow into a special report. Turn it into a pdf file and give it away to your website visitors.

See how easy that is? The only hard part is finding a PLR service that is high quality and fits your niche. Look around. Make sure the PLR package or membership you choose provides you with high quality articles so you can create something you’ll be proud of.

"Just One Dog"

OK, so this post is a little off-topic but I'm going to post it anyway. See, I love dogs and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Presently I have 3 dogs who I think own me, and they really make my life complete. On a sadder note there are plenty of dogs waiting for good homes in shelters every day. Many of them are put to sleep before ever knowing the love and companionship of a human. How sad. I'll warn you this vide made me cry. If you love animals and have compassion for them make sure you have the tissues handy. If you like this video please pass it along to others. One person really can make a difference and this video proves it.

“No Website Sales? Maybe Your Site is Missing the Mark!”

If you've moved your brick and mortar store online or recently started an Internet business and the sales just aren't coming in, the culprit may be your website.

Many people call me and say "My site's not generating sales; what can I do to get more traffic?" Before you can begin promoting, you need to take a long hard look at your website from your customers' perspective.

Customers always ask themselves the same thing:"What's in it for me?" Your site must answer that question, and answer it fast before they click away in discouragement.

Your first step is to go to your home page and view it as a stranger who doesn't know you or your product and services. Does the first paragraph state clearly what is being offered and the benefits you provide? It needs to. I can't tell you how many sites I've visited only to leave wondering what the hell they do. Your home page should also use powerful "selling words" that excite people and makes them want to learn more. It should have plenty of white space and be kept free from clutter and distractions.

A lot of Web designers will try to tell you to use plenty of Flash and other bandwidth thieves. Don't...The Web is still about information and you need to deliver it without crashing your visitors' browsers or making themwait five minutes to get through a Flash intro page.

Remember this rule: "Content is king." If your site is packed with good information, you don't need fancy bells and whistles. People will like it just fine because it tells them what they want to know and more.

Keep your target market in mind. If you sell salt water fish and equipment, then your site should include tips and tricks on taking care of livestock, setting up a system, or maybe even a helpful message board where visitors can help each other out by sharing information. You want to enlighten your guests with helpful information, not just "shove" what you do down their throats. The fact is they don't care about you or what you do. Show them what's in it for them and they'll be back often, turning into lifelong customers.

Make sure your web pages include plenty of calls to action. You need to tell them what it is you want them to do for example:

call now
click here to order
subscribe to our ezine

Your website pages all should work together underthe same theme. The look and navigation must be consistent throughout the site and should reinforce your offline brand identity. When building your site, use your brochures, business cards, and sales literature to incorporate your company image throughout.

For example, if you've been in business for 20 years and your company colors are gray and maroon, then your website shouldn't be pink and purple...follow me here? Keep your identity consistent online and off it will help with your company branding.

Another common error online marketers make is neglecting to update their websites, or keeping the same look for over a year. A website is not static, like a brochure.  Its strength as a marketing tool is its capability to evolve as time goes on, and you should add to it regularly. Experts say you should totally re-design every year to keep visitors from getting bored. An easy way  to add fresh content is to add a news feed on whatever subject matter matches your site.

There are plenty of services online that will give you a single piece of JavaScript to paste into your pages giving you the capabilities of showing new articles written by online experts on a weekly basis.  Shelley Lowery of Web-Source has just a syndication service find it at http://www.web-source.net/syndicator.htm 

The promotion process should not begin until your website works as an effective sales tool for your business. If your site is poorly designed and lacks content you'll just be wasting advertising dollars if you try to market it.

So next time your site sales are in a slump, take a look in your own backyard. You may be surprised at what you find.
