Make Money with Affiliate Marketing – What is PLR and How Can You Use it to Make Money Online?

In my previous post, I discussed how to use article marketing to make money online. I briefly talked about taking PLR articles and re-writing them until you have enough experience to write your own articles from scratch.

Now I want to cover exactly what PLR is and how it can help you to make money online using our article marketing strategy.

PLR stands for Private Label Rights. With PLR, you basically have the right to change and alter the articles however you want. You also have the right to put your name on them as the author. Some PLR have different stipulations, so when you get a hold of PLR articles, make sure you have the right to change them and put your name on them. This is important for what we’ll be doing.

Now, just follow the steps in my previous post, re-writing the PLR articles and submitting them to article directories. But, we’re going to take this a step further and look at some other uses for our PLR content. While these articles can be used to submit to article directories, we can also use this content on free blogs and help promote our website/blog.

There are many free blogs available on the internet that will allow you to post whatever type of content you want. Of course, the articles you post should be relevant to your website or whatever page you’ll be linking to from the articles. Sign up to these sites and try to post one article a day, or as often as you can.

These sites include, but are not limited to:

1. Hubpages
2. Wetpaint
3. Blogger
4. Wordpress.com
5. Gather
6. Xomba
7. Quizilla
8. Squidoo

You can do a simple Google search to find a lot more free blogs that you can post your PLR content to. You want to post as often as possible to these sites.

Within your articles create a link that links back to your website or a page within your site, like a blog post. Remember to use your keywords in the anchor text. This strategy is going to have the same affect as the article marketing strategy. So, you’ll be building more relevant backlinks from highly trusted sites, ensuring you’ll increase your search engine rankings and your online income.

Now you have two methods on how to use articles to make money online and build your affiliate marketing business.

Make Money with Affiliate Marketing – Marketing Your Main Blog Using Free Blogs

In my previous post about free blogs, I briefly mentioned that there’s a way to use free blogs to your advantage, other than using them as a main blog for your business.

Free blogs have a lot of power in that the search engines, especially Google, loves them. We can use sites like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com as a marketing tool to promote our affiliate offers and also our main business blog.

To get the most out of these sites, you’ll want to create unique content and post to them somewhat regularly. Within the blog posts, link back to your main blog. This will create quality backlinks to your main blog and help it rank higher in the search engines for your keyword phrases.

Online include one link to your blog in each blog post. You don’t want to overdue it as some of these sites can get picky about the kind of advertising you do as well as how much. Be sure to read each site’s Terms of Service to make sure you comply with all rules.

Other free blog sites you may want to check out include:

Blogr.com
Blogster.com
Bravenet.com
Flatpress.com
Klatcher.com
Lifetype.com
Livejournal.com
Moveabletype.com
Multiply.com
Serendipity.com
Textpattern.com
Xanga.com

After you post to these blogs, it wouldn’t hurt to social bookmark the blog home page and selective posts that you want to get exposure to. I’ll go into more detail about social bookmarking in my next post, so stay tuned.

Make Money with Affiliate Marketing – Make Money Using Free Blogs

If you’re just starting out in affiliate marketing, you probably don’t want to invest a lot of money into your new business, and you don’t have to. Essentially, affiliate marketing is free and doesn’t require any initial cost. It’s very possible to make money with affiliate marketing through the use of free blogs.

Free blogs such Blogger.com and Wordpress.com, just to name a couple, can be used to create a web presence where you can promote various products as an affiliate.

There are, however, pros and cons to this approach that I’ll discuss below.

Pros

The obvious pro to using free blogs is that they are in fact, free. They’re also very easy to setup and use. You can be up and running and blogging within minutes. At no point will it cost you anything to maintain and keep your blog going.

Cons

The cons to this approach, though, is that you don’t fully own your blog. With free blogs, you’re at the mercy of the blog provider, in this case Blogger.com and Wordpress.com. These two sites both have strict policies about advertising and promoting affiliate products, and they can shut your blog down at any time. That’s not a good thing for you when you’re trying to make money online and build a web presence.

Also, you don’t own the domain. Your blog is a subdomain and part of the Blogger.com or Wordpress.com domain. For example: http://yourblog.blogspot.com or http://yourblog.wordpress.com. For branding purposes, this doesn’t look very professional and will raise questions in the minds of potential customers.

With that being said, it’s very possible to make money online using free blogs. However, it’s not what you’re probably thinking, and I’ll get into this at a later time.

There’s a better approach if you want to setup a main blog from which you’ll brand yourself or your business, and I’ll be talking about this in my next post.

Starting and Running an Internet Based Business

Starting an internet based business and earning a profit is quite simple, but you have to know how. It’s no different than a conventional business, but instead of having a store that offers your services, you have a website.

Your website should provide all the details about what you offer. You want to explain the pricing options available and make it easy for people to pay. The website doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should describe what you do, the benefits provided for the customers, the pricing, etc. You can have one or multiple pages depending on what looks best or suits your needs.

Your website is just like a regular brick and mortar store, but the only difference being is that it’s on the internet. Your goal is to get people to your website, just like it would to get people in the door. You want it to appeal to people and attract those that are likely to buy.

An easy way to do this is to set up a blog. Blogs are very popular and quick to set up. They can even be customized to fit your style and personality. Add your business name, logo and anything else to make it stand out. You don’t want to leave any doubt in visitor’s eyes as to who you are and what you offer.

Starting and running an internet based business is simple once you understand the basics. The internet has made things so much easier for businesses to open up their virtual online shop and reach out to a wider range of customers.

Starting a Website

Starting a website doesn’t have to be complicated. Technology has gotten a lot more advanced and allowed us the ability to create fancy websites. But at the same time, it has also become much easier.

A website is essential if you’re looking to become successful and make money online with an Internet business. Once you start a website, it’s important that you have a professional look to it. Back when the internet first started, some simple text and basic graphics would have been fine. However, you now need a professionally designed website that appeals to your visitors.

There are now classes that cover web design and website creation. These resources are readily available and can even be found on the internet. Almost all computer users have internet access. You can easily find someone online that could create a website for you. Or, you may have a friend or relative that has web design knowledge that can help get you going. In any case, finding someone to create your website can be done and for a very reasonable price.

If you have to outsource the work to a professional, it may be beyond your price range. This is when it may be in your best interest to set up a blog. A blog can be used as your website and can have the professional look that you require without much technical knowledge required. Going this route will save time and money, and you’ll have the website you desire.

Make A Living with Blogging

Blogging has become a huge part of the internet, with more and more people creating blogs all the time. It doesn’t matter what the subject, if you have a passion and want to write about it, you, too, can start a blog. The great thing is that you can even make money with your blog.

Blogging sites like WordPress and Blogger are a major tool for Internet entrepreneurs who want to make money quickly. Many blogs have become a more reliable news source; although, there is a bit of criticism about bloggers, especially when it comes to young teenagers. But, for the most part, blogs present the businessperson with a way to make money. In order to do this, you need to have an idea and motivation in order to see it through.

Blogs can be used for personal/entertainment purposes, or they can be mainly for business.

If you choose, you can create a blog that provides information and entertainment for readers’ enjoyment. If your blog is popular, you can sell advertisments just like a newspaper or magazine would. Advertisers may approach you, or you can approach them and offer them a deal to advertise on your blog. If your blog brings in a lot of traffic, you could make enough to live on from just selling advertising. However, it will take time to achieve this.

A blog can also be used to promote a conventional business. Blogs are easy to navigate and easy to update. You don’t need a lot of technical knowledge to be able to set up and run a blog. A blog can help bring customers through the door for your business. Once you get your customers inside, make it easy for them to buy something.
