I've decided to write this hub after reading SweetiePie's hub "Content-Thiefs-Are-Laze-Balls" (link below).

It is an interesting one, and most of the comments clearly consider this type of behavior to be unworthy of a decent person.

No problem to agree with that, however I'm plainly curios - is rewriting PLR content also a bad thing to deserve consideration as 'laze-ball'?

And, if I am lucky enough to have somebody to comment on my hub, what is the general opinion regarding the use of PLR content.

BTW - this hub is not selling anything or pitching a product.

I'd love to tell you that I studied Internet Marketing for years...
...bought all the smart and expensive courses from all the known gurus...
...spent weeks planning how to break into the Internet Marketing field...
...and basically knew what I was doing before I ever did anything.

But, the simple truth is...
...I did none of the above...
...I was serching forums for free tips about blogging, videos and images...
...I was lucky to find on one forum about free PLR products...

I'll try to describe as well as I can, my way of using PLR content; and hopefully finding if I am a 'laze-ball' or not.

Like I said before, visiting forums was my way of learning about IM, and the most 'milage' I've gotten from these:

I still visit all of these regularly. Mainly because they all provide a ton of useful information and all is free.

PLR stands for public label rights. It gives you rights to edit or rewrite the content, add affiliate links, or recommendations for sponsored product, and then claim it as your own, i.e. sell, give as bonuses or publish online.

Just that simple and you can be an author of a content like articles, ebooks, graphic images, software, and even source codes.

One of the great things about Sure Fire Wealth is its uniqueness.

Simply put, there is no other site out there offering what this site offers, especially in terms of the products it provides.

There is nothing better then a free membership site where other sites often charge close to a hundred dollars per month for its membership.

Going for such sites is foolish IMHO.

They do not have half of the products to offer you as Sure Fire Wealth does on the free membership level.

So what is offered on this site for free members:

1. Downloads:

Under this link there are 68 pages; each page usually contains 5 products - free ebooks, reports , software and other products with reviews related to online business, internet marketing and various niche topics.

68 x 5 = total of 340 products you can have for free to learn from about the Internet Marketing or  - since same of them include giveway rights - you can use them to build your list by giving them for free.

2. Reviewers, Giveaways, Videos, Cool Resources and Niche Websites:

These links are described separately in the site's review.

One day, as I was doing online research, I saw that great golfing affiliate program and I got an idea...
...luckily, there was a golfing ebook in free membership of SureFireWealth...
...first, I signed up for product's affiliate program...
...next, I took apart this free PLR golfing ebook into 6 articles...
...I rewrote each of the articles...
...I added a product's link to my articles...
...for 6 days I published one article a day to three different article directories...

...and within 48 hours of publishing my first article, I was earning $120 per DAY
...and that's it. Nothing fancy....the rest was automatic.

Granted, for many people my earnings may seems puny, but for me as a student, it is wealth beyond my wildest dreams.

Naturally, after three or four week from publishing all six golfing articles, the income's level tapered down to zero. But by then, I was repeating the process with a different product, so the earnings keep steady.

I use this PRL site for six months now. During this time, I was able to rewrite free PLR ebooks for twenty four products, so it is approximately one product a week.

If you will look back at the number of products offered by this membership, you'll notice that in six months I wasn't able to reach even ten percent mark of all the offered free products. And the site is updated on monthly basis.

Going back to my original idea of starting this hub.

It is quite obvious that not all writers are created equal. I think, I'm a decent technical writer; sort of give me some numbers or spreadsheets and I'll write about them like there is no tomorrow. But when it comes to writing about 'stuff' - that's a different story for me.

If I want to write an original article from scratch, I must take these steps:
...research a minimum of 3 to 5 articles on a subject...
...(the more the better, since I don’t want to get hit with plagiarism lawsuits)...
...write completely NEW article on a subject often I'm not very familiar with...
It will take me approx. 2 to 3 hours to write a non-technical article from scratch.

Usually it takes me from 15 to 20 minutes to rewrite an existing PLR article, which transforms it into an unique article, on any subject.

Doing some simple math - I can write 1 single article from scratch or rewrite 3 to 4 articles, in both cases results are the same, but rewriting saves me 75% time.
