Today there are so many ways to earn a living online. Google Adsense or Adsense alternatives works great for those that spend time creating content. Affiliate marketing works great for me too. I just write good content and point to affiliate pages. But I can’t always come up with new and fresh content, because I tend to try to do too much. That is where my secret weapon for making money online comes in. What’s that secret weapon? Private Label Rights content.

Private Label Rights Ebooks

Private label rights products are products that the author gives or sells to other with full permission to use and rework to their hearts content. Note: It is best to write your PLR content so that it becomes somewhat unique which will perform 100 times better in search engines.

Private Label Rights (PLR) ebooks can be found on pretty much any niche or topic you’re interested in.

I can’t say enough great things about private label rights, the opportunity is so great because most people won’t modify the content so it makes it so much easier for me to rank for the content.

PLR is usually cheaper than other content because it’s going to get passed around so much but like I said if you re-work the content they can be gold.

A few methods for making money with PLR ebooks:

1. Like A Cold, Just Give It Away

Make something that is viral that you can just give away. Let me give you an example that works for me.

I can’t remember now if I bought the PLR product or if it just came with something else, but I received a fly fishing PLR ebook that was about 80 pages of content. Not sure if I could have created this from scratch. I tend to rewrite things to death and never would have gotten to 80 pages of great content so I would still be trying to get it done.

I modified one paragraph at a time and took my time to do it. I didn’t rush as I have found that I can get overwhelmed and give up on things. Just a little a day and in no time I was done. Okay it took me about a week but that’s a lot better than never writing it at all.

I added links and images that lead my readers to affiliate product pages and of course my fishing related blogs. Then I just give it away from my fishing blogs. It’s full of great content that helps the read and it’s free, plus inside I tell them to just give it away if they like it.

I make money just spreading the word.

I like Nicole Dean’s PLR for some of my niches. Nicole has a lot of great PLR but she doesn’t cover as many niches as PLR Pro does, so I would check out both for your needs. And one more PLR site that is very useful, Private Label Rights from Gabor Olah

Note: Don’t look at PLR content as being able to be rewritten just one time. Get out a thesaurus and start looking up synonyms and you can rewrite content a few more times without creating duplicate content. I like doing this for blogs I have that are in the same niche. I can put up content that’s similar and helpful but NOT duplicate content.

I like to take PLR articles that are focused on the same niche and put them together into an ebooks. In no time I have another ebooks that I can give away, just like my fishing ebook.

Remember that offering things for free attracts people. So offering free ebooks is a great way to increase your web site traffic which can in turn convert to more income.

I know some people who just make a slight change to the first and last sentence of PLR and personally I don’t think that’s going to work well. My personal feelings on modifying PLR is to rewrite no less than 30% of the content. Any less than that is just lazy and it’s going to take more than that to get the job done right.

Newsletter / E-zine

Having a newsletter or Ezine is a great way to grow your email list by giving them value-added content directly in their email box. Of course your newsletter will have valuable offers that will make you money as long as you don’t abuse your readers.

The more you can offer people these days, that will save them time, the better chance they will sign up for your newsletter.

Offer E-Courses

A great way to get people to sign up to your news letter is to offer ecourses but you don’t need a newsletter to make this work for you. Your ecourse will have the content people are looking for and the links that will lead them to places for more info and the potential for your to earn from those links.

Write Articles

Get writing and publishing on a regular basis. Write articles and distribute them to article directories. Here’s a chance to include your newsletter sign up within the article resource box.

Offer Free Books

I like to save time and use PLR content to create useful ebooks that I can then sprinkle with relevant links and give it away from my site for my visitors email and name. A new name and potential customer for my list.

Heck they don’t even have to be large ebooks, just 10 pages or so of great content that will help your reader and perhaps lead them to something that will eventually lead to more income for you.

This is a great way to use those affiliate links.

Free Membership Site

Learn more about owning and running a free membership site. You can get a ton of email addresses doing this because people love FREE.

It should go with out saying but be sure to offer valuable content or your list will just opt-out. The time it takes to setup a free membership site is well worth it if you follow all the steps.

Create Squeeze Pages

Squeeze pages are on my list of things to do more of. A squeeze page can quickly get your visitors email and name as that’s all they can do. Nothing around to confuse them or have them click away from your page, so squeeze pages are perfect for growing that list. Well worth learning about.

Pop Up

Personally I am not into pop up windows, especially those that pop up while you are trying to read a page. I just leave, but I can tolerate the pop up that appears when you go to leave a page. With this exit pop up you have a last ditch opportunity to get their attention before they are gone forever.

Viral Selling

When you have the flu it’s viral and people you come in contact with can get the virus. We don’t really care much for viral in that case but put that same idea into a product, a report, ebook, or digital product and you can the potential to have thousands see that product.

Note: The better job you do on the content the better chance you have it going viral. Just be sure you don’t forget to put your affiliate links in their and have them cloaked of course.

Giveaway Freebies

Like I said earlier, people love FREE giveaways. I can’t tell you how many I have signed up for in the years I have been working online. GiveAways have been around now for years and it does work, but of course it’s a numbers game so you need to get a lot of signups.

They will be signing up for your newsletter of some kind of report so you want it to be valuable so they stay signup up and get your emails and promotions.

Sign Op Bonuses

I have bought a lot of products since 2001 and must say that whenever anyone offers something that is useful AND has a bonus they have my attention. Of course the bonus needs to be worth my time or you might just be wasting your own time.

Take the time to experiment with each of the above 10 simple ways to build your list and then work those that work best for you.

How to make money ebooks, in my humble opinion, are the perfect way to learn how to make money online in just about any niche you pick because for the most part the methods for earning are the same.

I have been selling ebooks since about mid 2001 and by far the most have been how to make money ebooks. People need to learn how to make money so it makes good sense that these would be the ebooks that sell the most.

How do you make money with how to make money ebooks? Purchase a few, making sure that there is a refund possible as I have found many ebooks that just plain suck and have asked for a lot of refunds.

Now you can learn all you can from these ebooks and then write an ebooks that blends them all together making the info yours and unique. Remember that you don’t want people asking for refunds so do a great job.

It’s time consuming to write good ebooks but can be quite rewarding financially. You can also build your own work force by having others sell your ebooks for you. You make less on each ebook but remember they are the ones selling it for you.

You can also buy private lable rights products and rework them until they are uniquely yours. This method takes far less time to create and you can be selling sooner.

The Power of Resell Rights

My personal preference is to resell ebooks created by others. They did the work and because you purchased the product you know it’s worth selling or you would have requested a refund and moved on to the next ebook.

Where do I get ebooks with resell rights? I use Clickbank.

I couldn’t tell you how many ebooks I have purchased over the years but most of them came from Clickbank.

Note: I have never really enjoyed trying to find things on Clickbank but I do enjoy earning from Clickbank. Instead of using the Clickbank Marketplace to find the how to ebooks I use another tool that works great. It’s called CB Engine.
