What are PLR or (Private Label Rights) articles? This has been a frequent question on the web.

Private Label Right articles are nothing more than content that is sold to a webmaster, in which they have full rights to. This means they can modify the article anyway they like and they do not have to credit the writer if they do not wish to.

These types of articles are hot on the market, because webmasters always are in need of fresh updated content daily. Their online business/blog would fail without it because Google only pays attention to sites with updated content.

So how is that good for you as a writer? First, the demand for writers is HIGH! Your earning potential is up to and the sky is the limit. Here is how to make easy money writing PLR articles.

Pick a Niche- What type of niche are you better at writing? Are you a sports fan? Or maybe you like electronics, science, fashion, health, etc. Whatever you have an interest in is what you should write on. You will find it easier to write on topics you find interesting.

Pick your article- When most article writers first start off, they try to take a short cut and purchase 100 pack articles to rewrite or they use an article spinner. This is the worst thing you can do!

First, article spinners will only spit out garbage text that is not useful to the webmaster or their readers/clients. Plus, you can get a bad reputation pretty fast for doing this.

Another problem with purchasing pre-written PLR articles to rewrite and sell is; most of the articles have outdated information and topics that will not pull in traffic from the search engines.

Instead, scout hot news websites and pull article topics/articles from there. Then, you should re-write the article (to the best of your ability) using correct grammar and spelling.

Usually, this process only takes 10 minutes. If you are selling an article for $5 a pop, you could make $50+ per hour, depending if you make writing a full time job or not.

Citing your sources- This has been a big debate regarding PLR articles. Failing to cite your sources can get you a bad reputation and also the webmaster can get in trouble. There are two ways around this:

Never blatantly state facts/statistics-If I state, "More than 20,000 teens have STD's in the state of Michigan", I will need to cite this. So, to avoid this, you should just not state facts/statistics. There are ways to go about doing this without compromising the quality of your article.

Never Use Article Spinners- As stated before, article spinners are a waste of time, even the semi-automatic ones, which requires input from an actual human. There is just no way you can click a button and expect a good article to spit out. This is why I think buyers are starting to trust the sellers of PLR articles less and less.

How to pick your topics- Even though you picked your own niche, you will still need to pick good topics to write on. For example, if you are writing health articles, you should browse 'Google Trends' to see what topics are hot related to your niche.

Just simply visit the website and click on the 'Google Insights For Search' link.This will land you in the advanced feature page.

Now, you should be able to search for specific terms and also the date.  For example: when I search 'health', I noticed that one of the hottest topics what 'healthcare'. Writing your article on this topic will increase the webmaster's views. This is good for your reputation and conversion rates.

So, as you can see, writing PLR articles is not bad. You can even make it your full time job, and it sure beats working at a low paying boring job.
