PLR Product Marketing Tactics

PLR stands for "Private Label Rights" and it means that you can buy marketing rights to products created by a third-party, and sell it as your own.

Although you have lesser control over the product itself, it helps you save thousands of dollars, hedges your risk, and allows to to dominate niche markets easily. Plus, most PLR products you can find on the Internet are pretty affordable too.

So how do you really profit from PLR products? How do PLR products fit into your overall marketing strategy for your online business? Here are three of the most profitable ways to turn PLR products into a viable source of residual income:

1) Create Stand-Alone Products

This is the easiest, but also the least profitable long-run solution to using PLR products. Why?

Because if the product comes with Private Label Rights, then you can rest assured that other marketers would have also purchases the PLR rights to it.

Most people who buy the rights are lazy and want to "flip" the product as soon as possible without much work on their part.

If you're one of the first to secure the PLR rights to any particular product, and you can set-up a complete marketing site in record time, you can make money easily. But over time, more and more marketers will start selling the exact product, usually at a price much lower than what you're comfortable with.

These people become your competition, making your product less unique by day.

PLR product vendors usually impose a limit on the amount of people they sell to, as well as the "recommended" minimum selling price for all customers. Beware of those who don't set these limits, as the PLR products they sell could have already been over-marketed.

However, if you completely change the product name, inject the sales site with fresh new graphics, and add your own content to the original PLR product, you may just be able to stand apart from the rest and continue selling it as a stand-alone offer for years to come.

2) Create Membership Sites

Membership sites are hot because of their potential to generate a stream of residual income, especially sites that charge for monthly content. On average, a new member can stay one for up to 10 months, which means that you can actually sell access for a lower price and yet achieve maximum revenue per customer.

PLR products can also help you ease the burden of finding new content for your members in your existing membership site. Most PLR products are flexible enough that you are allowed to split, combine or remake the product into small content pieces.

For example, if you bought 20 PLR ebooks, you can always give your members one ebook a month, for 20 months. Or you can split up each ebook into a series of smaller "reports" and send it to your members monthly.

Be creative, and you'll find that any single investment in PLR products can go a long way!

3) Sell Them as DVDs or Seminar Material

This is a great idea simply because most people will not do it. As you can understand, creating a physical DVD to be shipped is going to take a lot more effort than simply setting up a website to sell it online. However, if you are confident about producing DVDs and shipping them, this is a golden opportunity.

Most people prefer the product to be in a DVD, especially if it's a series of video tutorials, or if the file size is way too big.

You can use the excellent production and mailing service by Kunaki (www.kunaki.com) to automate production of DVDs and delivery. They work on a "print-to-order" basis, so you will not have to stockpile hundreds of DVDs at home.

If you're a seminar speaker or organizer, PLR products can also add real value to your event. Instead of trying to cover too much in a short time, you can focus on the most important information, and give the rest of the material to your participants in the form of a DVD.

For example, if you teach people how to create a blog and make money online, it's very difficult for you to provide them with hands-on coaching during a one-day seminar. If you purchase PLR products (screen cam videos), then you can just pack all the videos into a DVD and focus instead of teaching the concepts and theories of blogging.

Using PLR products is really easy if you know what you're doing, and if your PLR provider makes an effort to keep all material up to date.

The sad fact is that most PLR products are sold as a one-time deal, meaning when something breaks or is outdated, you have to repair it yourself. Most probably, even the website where you bought the PLR product will no longer be around.

Therefore, scouting for great sources of PLR products, PLR videos and PLR membership sites is more important than ever before. Look for continuous development of the product, as well as support from the PLR vendor.

These are things most people take for granted, and ignoring it will likely cause you to fail before you can even get started.
