How to Make PLR Content Your Own?
LESSON #5:
Some Tips to Make the Content Yours
Typically, you will not want to use the PLR content you purchase just as it is. You will want to edit/modify it to make it read more like your written material and to ensure that the final product will pass plagiarism checkers to avoid Google penalties.
In order to do this, you will need some tools
- A document editor like MS Word is fine and most people have the MC Office software. Much of the PLR content you download will be available in .doc or .docx file format or a .txt format.
- Another tool you need is an image creator/editor. Adobe Photoshop works great although it is expensive. But something like the free GIMP editor will work or Paint Shop Pro which is less expensive.
- You should make sure you save the url or place the text into a plagiarism checker. WA’s site content includes a checker, and you can also use one of the ones provided below.
PapersOwl https://papersowl.com/free-plagiarism-checker
Site Liner http://siteliner.com/
Copyscape https://www.copyscape.com/ (there is a small fee)
Dupli Checker https://www.duplichecker.com/
(Note: I used Dupli Checker to check all the text in this tutorial and there is no plagiarism/duplicate content.)
Warning: Sometimes when running your modified content through the checkers, it can be pretty frustrating to still find too much similiar content. But be patient and keep working on it. I suggest at that point you work on small portions at a time until they successfully pass the checkers
Modifying PLR Content
Since this material is not yours, be sure to reword it to show some of your unique style. I highly recommend making significant changes to all purchased content to “rebrand” it and make it uniquely “yours”. Often very-new PLR material will pass the checker tools, however I would still recommend you change it to make it unique to you.
Content that you should be proud of has the following characteristics:
- It is approachable. Write as in conducting a conversation with your readers. Show understanding and that you relate to your visitor’s problems and difficulties.
- It is informative. The reworked content should provide value and help solve the problems of your site visitors. Give them answers and solutions, you can include recommendations and reviews.
- It is Reader-Friendly. Your content should be easy on the eyes, simple and easily understood. Break your paragraphs into small bites, use headlines, sub-headings and bullet points as well as “white space”
Here are my suggestion for changing the wording of the PRL to make it “yours. Modify it so that you give the words your own style. Changing the content and adding some words will turn the wording into something unique to your site.
- Break the content up differently. Turn it into bullet lists, callouts, and try new sentence lengths.
- Take specific parts of your purchased content and redo it to use on social media. Not everything needs to be 1000 words.
- Add some content that describe your personal experience. Here’s a chance to add a cool story to your content.
- You will want to change the title, the beginning sentences and the ending sentences.
- Add pertinent images, charts as well as infographics to the content. For sure change every image used in the PLR content
- Add affiliate links. Turn the content into product recommendations or reviews.
- Take specific “types” of purchased content” and repurpose it. Use it for press releases, ads, webinars, videos and podcasts. Create audio talks and presentations using text from PLR content. Take a purchased ebook and break it up and create many different blog posts from it.
- Add links to other useful information and products. Internal and external links add value as well as links to product recommendations or reviews.
- Take your purchased PLR content and translate it into a different language. This opens your created content up to entirely new markets and visitors.
- Search the PLR content to find some related paragraphs to add to another content piece. Combine parts of PLR content and use it to enhance other article creations.
- Use your modified PLR content to show differing opinions. Its useful to offer your readers different opinions or thoughts.
- Change the keywords with the PLR content from those originally inserted. This will make the content SEO different for various engines.
- Change the purchased content format from article to newsletter material or something else. Adding additional information found through your own personal research or knowledge allows you to utilize the PLR content for various purposes.
- Take several different purchased contents related to the same subject and create a report or an ebook or a tutorial. You can use this to multiply the values and uses of single articles and create bonuses and even sellable downloadable products depending on what the license allows.
- Create email sequences and even an etraining course with PLR content. Use this for your funnels and to sell or gift. A multi-day email course can be created by utilizing this material.
- Use purchased content to help create your Ads. You can surely be inspired by pieces of the purchased content.
- Finally, be sure and check all of your text with a plagiarism checker. I’ve enjoyed using Dupli Checker.
I own the domain name plrwiki.com. Maybe I should do something with it.
