The buyers or webmasters who purchase your articles gain the right to edit your articles in any way they prefer.

However, to profit from your PLR articles writing business, it is best to create articles on general or popular subjects. Some of the popular and high demand topics are Internet marketing, home business, make money online, finance and many more.

Your PLR articles don't have to be outstanding, but they should be at least grammar and spelling errors free; 400 to 600 words for each, and offer some tips. Since you are going to write a list of general topics, you need to search for information for the relevant topics, do research and some reading before start writing PLR articles.

Market Your PLR Articles Package

Website owners that search for fresh content are your target buyers. There are a number of ways you can market your PLR articles to your target prospect:

Post Offer on Forums
Both the Digital Forum and Warriom Forum are places that you can start marketing your PLR package free. These two forums have huge number of members and most of the members own website or blog. It is not difficult to find your buyers there. But people usually look for great deals in these forums. So it is best to offer discount like 20% off for the first 40 buyers, etc.

Before you post your offer, do read the rules to make sure what and how you can post and what not to post. Breaking any of the forums rule could result your account being suspended.

Set up a Sale Website
To reach even more potential buyers, you may create a sale website to market your PLR article package. Getting a sale website launched will include buying a domain name, choosing a hosting package and designing a website.

There are many web marketing techniques you can use to drive target buyers to visit your website and possibly make a purchase from you. Here are some of the options:

  • Pay per click Advertising
  • Article Marketing
  • Web 2.0 marketing
  • Press release
  • Search engine optimization (SEO)
  • Email list building
Build a Membership Website
This is a great way for long term steady income. By creating a paid membership site that provides PLR articles, you can grow you PLR article writing business to the next level. A paid membership site that offers hundreds of PLR articles on a monthly basis will earn you recurring income. Keep growing your members and you will get a steady and lucrative stream of revenue.

Building a PLR article member website involves a lot of work. So you may need some people to help you out in content writing and handling customers enquiries.

The success of your membership site will depend on your marketing. The more targeted traffic you can drive to your membership site, the more members you can get. You can market your membership site using the similar ways that you use on marketing a sale webpage.

A membership PLR articles site has very high earning potential but, the costs of starting and running a membership site are quite expensive and you may be hiring people to write content for you, so the risk is high as well. You should go for this option only when you have made some profit and gain enough Internet marketing experience.

Sell the Resell rights to Your PLR Content
Your target buyers aren’t limited to those webmasters who need content only. One good way to expand your market is by selling also the resell right to your PLR articles. When you sell resell right, other people who also sell PLR content will become your target prospects as you allow them to sell your PLR articles.

One of the fastest and easiest ways to develop a valuable info product is to do an interview with an expert on the topic where you want to write about. Or you can interview several experts and put together all the interviews into one info product that cover different aspects.

To entice the expert accepts you interview, you would let the expert know the free publicity he/she would get from your marketing effort for the interview later.

Turn Existing Content into Products
You can just contact numerous experts to ask them whether they can submit their articles or reports on a particular topic. Then combine them into an e-book or an info product.

You would let each expert to include website links at the end of their articles so that they will get free web promotion. This is a way to encourage the experts so submit content to you.

Another idea is to borrow or reprints sections of existing e-book. Contact the product creator and ask permission for reprinting the content of the product in exchange for free marketing and promotion to them.

For example, if you have decided to use 'copywriting' as the subject for your info product, you may contact a few copywriting experts and request them to send you a sale letter they have written for a product. Once you got their sale letters, you can combine them into one collection of 'proven effective salesletters'. And that's it you have created an info product that can make you money.

Take some time to search for the information needed and do research so that you can create a useful checklist that people will want to buy.

Turn All Your Ideas into a Product
If you have a lot of ideas of creating products, you can write them down and then put them together into a report that contains a list of your creative ideas. This report will be helpful to those who want to create their own product, so you can sell your report to this target group of people.

The report costs about $8 to $10 and really generates profit to the seller.

"How to" Video Product
Most people prefer to be able to learn something in a way that they can watch and listen on how to do it. So if you know something well, you may go ahead and create a 'how to' video that records yourself while working on something. For example, you can create a video product that teaches others to use Microsoft Excel. Just record the whole process of using it and explain the feature people can use.

Offer Your Help on Incomplete Projects
Most informational product creators should have at least one unfinished info product creation project. You can offer your help to them with one condition. Tell the creator to give you a share on the profit if the product creation completed and ready for selling on the net.

Tips for Building a Niche Site to Sell Your Information Product



When you are marketing your information product through a website, you don't have to build a thirty page website loaded with colorful ads, lots of pictures, and other tricks that other Internet businesses use to gain awareness of their website. Since your info product may be popular only for a short period of time, spending hours and hours searching for the right fonts, writing unique articles, and optimizing every individual page isn't worth it.

Always remember that the targeted prospects in your niche market are hungry for information that they can't find or is hard to find anywhere else. This means they will not require very much encouragement and pushing to place an order.

If there are only a few of the competitors in your niche market, chances are you will generate sales even though you don't have beautiful images and expert formatting and customization on your sale website. A simple and clean sale website that tells the features and benefits of your product may produce good result for you.

You don't need to be an expert in the computer field to build a professional looking website that is helpful for marketing your products. There are good website builders you can use to create a professional-look website without technical knowledge. Xsitepro is one these easy-to-use website builders you can try.

Most e-commerce websites have a sales letter page highlighting and explaining the features and benefits of the product. Sale letter will tell your potential customers what you are offering, how your product can solve a problem or help in certain areas and why your potential customers should buy from you instead of your competition. So your sale letter play a very important role in persuading your potential prospects to make a purchase. And so you are advised to hire a copywriter to create a professional sale letter for you. The copywriter has good experience in producing sale letter, he/she will have not problem writing a sale page that meets your business need.

However, you may choose to write your sale page yourself, but make sure you study enough on how to write an effective sale letter before you start creating one.

To make your sales letter even more persuasive, you can add in testimonies from satisfied customers, extra gift, bonus products and etc.

You do need to place some images of your products to let the customer see and feel how your product looks like. Adding product images will not increase your sale but this is a must as many people want to see or have an idea on how the product look like before making purchase.

The course should be free of charge to your target prospects and anyone interested to participate so that you can get as many potential customers to sign up your course as possible and entice them to purchase your products or services.

Make Sure Your Target Prospects are Interested to Your Topic
The topic you decided to use for your e-course has to be directly relevant to your business or the products or services you are offering. Just like the example mentioned above, the SEO software sellers will create courses to help their target prospects to learn how to do SEO work and tell their students the can save their work and time using SEO software. Likewise, people who have weight problem would be interested to sign up courses such as how to reduce weight in short time period or the best ways to reduce weight. So the subject for your course must be of interest to your potential customers.

Create Content for Your E-Course
After determining the topic for your online or email course, it is time to write the content for your course. You can write the content by yourself. The content doesn’t have to be well written but they do need to be clear and easy to understand. Also review and check your content to make sure there is no grammar and spelling error. Alternatively, you may spend some money hiring a writer to create content for your e-course. Tell the writer exactly what you want and the writer will create a series of professional and well written content for you.

Once your content are ready, you can turn your e-course into a PDF e-book and let people download it on your website. Or you can break the e-course down into several segments or sections and send each section to your students every day until the course ends. This will help make learning easier and keep your student interested to your topic.

Distribute Your Online Course
create a sign up a form on your site and the form should be in the location of your site where it is easily noticed by your visitors. Any visitor that attracted by your e-course will sign up.

Other ways you can use to distribute your e-course are forum posting, participate in give way events and article marketing. Apply as many distributing methods you possibly can to get the maximum potential buyers to sign up for your e-course.

How to Make a Consistent Income Online by Writing Blog Reviews (Part 1)



Do you know that you can make a nice income with a blog without needed to make yourself or your blog popular, without getting massive amount of blog traffic, and without having to learn the blog monetizing strategies and busy testing which advertising programs work well for your blog.

By posting paid or sponsor reviews on your blog, it is possible to make $100 to $2,000 every month. But of course, there are some drawbacks if you build a blog specifically to post sponsor reviews only. Firstly your blog will not attract returned visitors because most people don’t like to read blog posts about product reviews. Secondly your visitors will not subscribe to your blog feed because again they aren’t interested to read review posts and finally your blog isn’t suitable for Google AdSense and other similar money making programs.

But don’t feel bad because of the above drawbacks as you are still able to make a good income just by focusing on posting paid reviews.

Starting a blog specifically to make money with paid reviews isn’t suitable to everyone. But if you do interested to make money online with this method, here are the steps you can follow to get started:

Step 1 - Start a Blog
Blogger.com is so popular; I bet you have heard of it. You can join Blogger.com and set up a blog absolutely free with a subdomain name of blogger.com. But I will suggest you use a custom domain name for your blog that set up in Blogger.com.

Using domain name for your Blogger blog will increase your chances of getting more paid review opportunities. The easiest way to set up your Blogger blog with your own custom domain name is by buying your domain name through Blogger. Buying a domain through Blogger will automatically set up everything for you and will attach you a new domain to your existing Blogger blog instantly. Below are the instructions from Blogger.com on how to set up a blog with your own domain name:

Step 2 - Decide the Topics for Your Blog
After you have set up your blog, it is now ready for posting your content for publication on the Internet. But before you know what to post, you must decide what topics you want to focus on. In the case of building a review blog, you will need to start a list of topics for your blog. It is not difficult to start numerous topics or categories for your blog, just write anything related to your life, hobby and experience and you’ll then come up with a list of topics in your blog.

You don’t need a massive amount of traffic to make money with sponsor reviews, but you do need some consistent traffic (50 to 200 unique visitors daily) for getting paid reviews opportunities. So you are going to need to spend some time driving traffic to your blog daily. There are plenty of methods you can use to generate traffic to your blog, some of the common methods are social bookmarking, article marketing, forum posting and holding a contest. As these are common traffic-generating methods, you can use Google and search for these topics to learn everything about how to use these methods to get traffic. And probably you will find other methods of getting blog traffic that you can apply also to increase your blog traffic when searching on Google

Building traffic for your blog will help you get the most paid review opportunities from advertisers.

Step 4 - Join Payperpost.com
There are many websites offering paid review opportunities and the most popular and biggest one is Payperpost.com. So Payperpost.com is the first site you should join. Your blog have to be at least 30 days old and have at least 10 previous posts in order to participate in Payperpost program. So make sure you meet the requirements before applying for becoming a review blogger of Payperpost.com.

But before you jump on the affiliate marketing bandwagon, you are advised to spend some time to examine the pros and cons of affiliate marketing.

The Pros
The first advantage of affiliate marketing is that it doesn't cost much to get started. Anyone can start an affiliate marketing business. All that you need for setting up an affiliate marketing business are a computer, a high speed Internet access and few hundred dollars.

You don't have to worry about how to run and profit from affiliate marketing. Internet is a good tool to help you find all the affiliate training, tips and information you need to turn your affiliate marketing business into a success.

When you are running an affiliate marketing business, you are marketing other people products or services to make money online. You job is only to send targeted visitors to the company's e-commerce website that you are affiliated with. Whenever a visitor referred by you made a purchase, you'll earn an amount of affiliate commission.

And since you are marketing other people products on the net, there is no stock you need to keep and your merchant or affiliated company will handle all the customer support and product shipping works.

Many affiliate programs will provide a lot of free promotion tools and attractive banner ads and text links to their affiliates. If you join one of these programs, you can use the quality banner ads or text links to match your website content. These ads will make your site look good and possibly generate instant affiliate commission for you.

The Cons
No matter what is being discussed, if there is an advantage, there is always a drawback as well. In the case of affiliate marketing, there are several downsides you have to keep in mind.

You have to do some researches and investigations on the affiliated company or merchant to find out whether it is a reliable company before really joining it. There are unscrupulous and dishonest companies sometimes just close down their affiliate programs without giving prior notice to affiliates. They leave without paying commissions which is even worse.

Affiliate marketing isn't a get rich fast program. You have to take the time to optimize your website and squeeze page so that they will generate good click-through rate consistently. And you need to put hard effort on testing which online marketing techniques are working well with your affiliate programs.

In some niches, you need to build an email list before you can earn affiliate commission. The process of affiliate marketing is you promote your website to get targeted visitors, from your website, you'll encourage your targeted visitors to click on your affiliate ads and links to your merchants sites so that they will make a purchase. But if you are marketing affiliate products related to Internet marketing, home business or online business niches, the visitors you refer to your merchants sites will not make a purchase on their first visit. You must collect their email address to send follow-up email to them to encourage them buy your affiliate products.

Conclusion
Affiliate marketing has pretty high profit potential. But, it is an online business that requires patient, hard work and the right knowledge to achieve success. You may be very interested to start earning money with affiliate marketing because of the advantages it offers but keep in mind that there are drawbacks and challenges you have to deal with.

5 Steps to Start Making Money Online with CPA Advertising Programs (Part 1)



As you may have heard of cost-per-action (CPA) advertising, it is an online advertising model where the website publisher will be paid only when a visitor sent by the publisher to an advertiser’s website takes an action. The advertiser would have specified what action that the visitor has to take to qualify for earning. The action can be a sale, a lead, a sign up, etc.

To make money with CPA adverting program, you need a website or blog. You will use the website or blog to display CPA ads and make money for each qualified action your visitors take in your advertisers websites.

Below is a step-by-step plan to help you get started in making money with CPA ads.

Step 1: What is Your Topic or Theme?
For any money making method that needs a website, the first step will always be choosing a right topic or subject. Before you start building a website, you are going to need to decide a topic that your website will be focusing on. Some of the topics good for CPA ads are insurance, debt consolidation, mortgage loan, entrepreneur, Internet & home business and travel.

You don’t have to use any of the above topics if you don’t like any of them. You can pick a subject that you have a passion in. But make sure you are using a topic that is commonly known by the public.

Step 2: Create Articles and Content
Once you have decided your website topic, it is time to start writing content about the topic for publication on your website. You will want to publish articles and content that your targeted visitors interested to read. So be sure to do some online researches before start writing about your topic. Go to Google and type in several keywords related to your topic, you may find some writing ideas. Another site good for getting content idea is Ezinearticles.com. Just go to the deepest article sub-categories relevant to your topic, click any article link inside the sub-categories and you will be sent to an article page. At the bottom of the article page, you will see a list of most viewed article titles in Ezinearticles in the past 90 days. You can think about writing some of these most viewed titles as they can attract a lot visitors and readers.

If you aren’t able to write articles, you can pay others to create the content you need for your website by using the services of freelance writers through a freelance website like Elance.com or Guru.com.

Step 3: Create a Niche Website

There are a few of good web building software you can use to create a website. These web building software are designed to be very user-friendly. So you don’t have to worry if you don’t have the necessary web design knowledge and skills to create a site. These site building tools allow anyone to build a site without technical knowledge. Here are 2 good website building software available for you to build your own website:

Since you are building a niche content site, I would suggest you check out other sites that provide the similar topic and content to get some ideas on how you want your site layout, format and navigation sections look like.

You should also add a few pictures to make your site look attractive. If you can find some interesting instructional videos from YouTube and upload them to your site, that is even better because this will increase your website ‘general interest’ value.

Step 4: Drive Traffic to Your Website
Once you have purchased a domain name and web hosting package to launch your website on the Internet, you need to start generating traffic for the website as quick as possible. Those big CPA advertisers will surely interested to advertise on websites that can get a consistent amount of traffic.

To do this, you would use exactly the same techniques that most web publishers apply to generate traffic for their sites such as social bookmarking, article marketing, commenting on other blogs, forum positing and PPC advertising.

If you do want to use PPC advertising to get traffic, Bidvertiser.com may be a good choice to you. With Bidvertiser, you can get target visitors for as low as $0.08 per visitor.

Step 5: Join a CPA Advertising Network
A CPA network will typically contains few hundreds to thousands of CPA advertising programs divided into different categories where you can choose the most suitable CPA programs for your website topic.

Here are a few of the leading networks you can join in order to gain access to the CPA advertising programs available:
When choosing CPA programs in a network, try to register with those programs that offer pay per lead or per sign up instead of pay per sale because sale involves money being spent by visitors. It is much harder to generate income by creating sales for the CPA advertisers as compared with creating free lead or sign up.

If you are approved from applying a CPA program in a network, you can start placing contextual or other forms of ads of the program on your website instantly, and then of course you should increase your traffic-generating efforts to maximize the amount of visitors who come to your site in order to make the most from CPA advertising.

You CPA ads locations on your website are important to your success. You should place your CPA ads in different locations of your site to see which location gives you the most visitor clicks. Placing your ads within your content area is one the best ways to maximum your visitor clicks.

The more people clicking your CPA ads would mean the more visitors you have sent to your advertisers, and probably the more leads you will generate for your advertisers which mean greater ad revenue you’ll earn.

How to Make Money Selling Antiques on eBay



Many people have said that antiques and collectibles are some of the most difficult items to start selling on eBay. However, people also said that these items have good potential on becoming the biggest sales on eBay.

So just what are the things a new eBay seller must know before setting up an auction to list their first antique or collectible for sale on eBay?

First of all, the markets of both the antiques and collectibles are moving slow. Antiques and collectibles trading aren't active like most other markets where huge qualities were transacted every day. So if you want to turn a fast profit with antiques and collectibles, you would do better with seasonal, general, or limited lifetime items.

eBay is a great marketplace to make money with antiques and collectibles selling, but these goods aren’t typically fast sellers. This is mainly due to the limited supply of antiques and collectibles. They are rare items and cannot easily be obtained in bulk, so the supply is very limited. On the other hand, the demand is also limited to people who both have the interest and can afford the items. As you can see, you have to be prepared for keeping certain antiques and collectibles with you for some time before the right customers come to you and buy your items.

Another challenge that new eBay sellers have to face is the high stock purchasing cost of an antique business. These goods don’t come cheap. In addition of that, finding a great deal on a rare item has a lot to do with luck and connections.

To achieve success in antique business, you need have a passion on antiques and collectibles and also have good knowledge on these items. One way to offset the high stock purchasing cost and the limited sales potential of antiques and collectibles is to use several sales channels. Listing your items on eBay is a good way to make lucrative profits, but you might not be able to clear out your stock with eBay alone. Search for other online and offline auctions dedicated to antiques. Contact your local dealers and get to know them. They are often a useful source of information.

If you do have expert knowledge on items that you are selling, make sure potential customers know. They will be more likely to purchase from someone who has good knowledge and experience in antiques or collectibles. They will expect that the item they are getting is valuable, not a cheap (or expensive) imitation. By telling them your knowledge of antiques and collectibles, you are reassuring your potential customers that they are paying for something really rare and wonderful. Customers may also recommend you to their friends and possibly bring repeat business to you if you provide good service to them. Your excellence customer service and high quality of your products will attract buyers keep on purchasing from you.

Lastly, focus on brands and trends that have persistent value. Some brands are popular for their rarity or their resilient craftsmanship and beauty. These brands will always have consistent demand. As for market trends, beware for hot fads that are here today and gone tomorrow.

eBay is well known for its antiques and collectibles, and for good reason. This Internet marketplace with its worldwide popularity is the perfect place to list hard to find items. Oftentimes, they are able to buy and sell items that they are interested, which makes their Internet auctioning look more like play than work. Each auction set up for reselling antiques and collectible does require some effort, but the payoffs are worth it.

Thrift selling means selling lots of unique products on eBay that were bought at a cheap price, typically at thrift stores. These product or items are occasionally not in perfect condition. They were either worn or damaged, but buyers like them because they are unique and don't cost much money to purchase. Thrift selling might not sound very profitable, but it can be if you do things right.

How to Find Thrift Stores

Keep Record of Your Auction Listings
There are a lot of things thrift sellers need to do. Their inventory is in bulk; they will frequently obtain hundreds of different items in their inventory at a given time. So it will be necessary for them to start lots of auctions to list each of their unique items. Thrift sellers must keep track of their items and their listings, so excellent book keeping is needed to ensure everything run smoothly. If you decide to start a thrift selling on eBay, you should look for a book keeping program that you’re comfortable with. Microsoft Excel is a good low-frills spreadsheet program. You may use it to keep track of your goods, your eBay auctions, and your shipping.

Excel spreadsheets are also helpful tools for calculating your net profits over time. Use them to find out which items have sold well, and which doesn't perform well.

Keep Your Stock Orderly and Neat
While you’re monitoring your eBay auctions and stock with Excel, spend time to organize your physical inventory as well. You don’t want to need to dig through a messy heap of stocks to search for the one that needs to be delivered. Organize your spaces to store your goods orderly. Label each item with a post-it note consisting the listing number. That way, you can find the item needed to ship easier and faster.

Maintain Good Reputation in eBay
Seller’s reputation is very important when making money on eBay. Since thrift items are usually used items which might have some damages, so the item description has to clearly specify the condition of your item. Be honest to disclose any damage the item has sustained, and include a picture of the worn or damaged areas. Specify that buyers purchase the items “as is”, and emphasize that you don't know the items’ histories and are not responsible for item failure. This may sound harsh, but you need to include these descriptions to protect yourself.

Use Listing Tools to Help Manage Your Auctions
There are good tools that you can use to make your thrift selling process easier. Bulk listers are tools that designed to start many listings at a time. This is a real time saver for eBay sellers need to start hundreds of auctions at the same time. Turbo Lister is the most popular bulk listing tool you can use. There is no cost to download and use this tool. The tool can be downloaded at:

Conclusion
You can get thrift items at low price usually, but they can be costly if you make mistakes in your inventory management. Keep everything orderly and easy-to-find. Use software tool to help manage your listings. And provide buyers an honest description of an item’s condition. Building a good reputation is important to the success of your eBay business. So whatever you sell on eBay, always be friendly and helpful to your buyers.
