What Is PLR and How Should You Use It For Ebook Creation?

What is PLR and what can you do with it? How can it help you in your IM business or with eBook creation?

PLR, also known as Private Label Rights, are rights that are assigned or given by the owner/creator of a product to the purchaser of the product. These rights are clearly defined by the creator but can include the right to change the product, keep it the same, claim authorship and resell as your own. This product is typically an ebook, but can also include video, audio and other forms of software or graphics.

Some Internet Marketers who are interested in PLR ebooks are drawn to them because they think they can purchase a PLR ebook, slap their name on it and be seen as an expert in that field. With this method they don't really have to do the work that is involved with creating a product. This may seem like a great way to monetize your business quickly, but down the road it could damage your credibility and ultimately your business.

I personally know one Internet Marketer in particular that did this because I bought one of his products on article marketing. It didn't take long to realize not only had I already purchased the exact same ebook, word for word, from the original author, and I had the PLR rights to it as well.

I was promoting and selling it with the original author's name on it. This book went into a lot of detail about how the original author got started in IM, how much money he was making in the beginning, how many articles he was writing every month and so on. So the second guy was basically masquerading as a double for the original author. He lost my trust immediately.

I didn't spend a lot of money on it but I was still aggravated. Ultimately it was a valuable learning lesson for me because it taught me what NOT to do. If you want to sell a quality information product, I think it's ethically wrong to take someone else's product and just put your name on it. It's just downright misleading. It may be legal but I don't think it's a good idea.

A lot of Internet Marketers buy PLR products for other reasons. Many of them use them for researching whatever niche they want to become an expert at. They like buying the ebooks with PLR rights because if they decide to write an eBook along a similar theme they can use the PLR book as a guide to writing their own. If the PLR content is high quality (and many times it is if you look hard enough) it will be very useful for this purpose. Some also do very well promoting other marketers' PLR products. They may be working as an affiliate or directly selling the product (without making changes) and keeping 100% commissions.

Here's where I think PLR products can be useful. If you buy a quality information product from someone and that product comes with PLR rights, I think you can use it as a guideline for creating your own product. Use parts of it, but add to it. Put it in your own words with your own unique spin on it. But please do not put your name on someone else's product without adding any of your own originality to it. You will lose credibility in the long run.

Another great use for PLR products is as a giveaway. When you are trying to attract subscribers to build a list, find a great PLR eBook with quality content and use that to give away in exchange for a name and email address. Then you can email that person regularly and promote your own information products to them.

I am currently working on an original eBook myself that is a guide for proper eBook creation. In it I discuss how using free PLR content and PLR ebooks can be very useful during your research process. I recommend gathering up as much PLR as you can for educational purposes. Through my methods you will use PLR products as a guide, but not as an exclusive tool for writing your own ebook.

How to Know If I Should Write an Ebook

Do you want to write an ebook, but aren't sure if it's it's the right thing to do? In this article I will provide you with a test to know if your eBook idea is right or not. The last thing you need to do is create an eBook if you haven't determined whether or not there's a demand for your content.

You need to ask yourself three questions. How much knowledge do I have on the topic? Are there already ebooks or physical books on the topic that are selling? Is there at least one magazine on the topic. Lets take a deeper look at these three questions.

The first question is your starting point. Lets suppose you want to write an eBook on nutrition. How much knowledge do you currently have on nutrition. Are you an expert on this topic. One way to know the answer to this question is to ask yourself this question, "Can I teach three solid hours on nutrition". If the answer is no, then perhaps you need to learn more about nutrition before you proceed to write a nutrition ebook. Now, understand there are certainly exceptions to this, so this definitely isn't a fixed rule. Some niches are less complex and don't have many steps. However, I think you get my point. You can interview experts to acquire information for your ebook, but in most cases, you need to possess substantial knowledge in your niche.

The second question is very black and white, yet so many people never think about it. If there aren't books in your niche then there's a good chance it's because there's no demand. To answer this questions, go to Amazon and look for ebooks or books closely related to the one you want to create. If you find two or three that are selling, then there's money in this niche and you may have a profitable eBook idea.

Lastly, you should be able to find at least one magazine on your niche. If not, then again, there probably isn't a demand for ebooks in this area.

Hopefully, this information has been helpful. Don't be afraid to write an ebook, just be sure to do your homework beforehand. If after following my advice in this article you determine there is no demand for ebooks in your niche, become an expert in some other area. If you really want to become an eBook author, go for it.
