If you’re short on time and not sure whether PLR based products are right for you, here’s an outline of the advantages and disadvantages of profiting with PLR products.
Pros of PLR
- Easily have your own product to sell almost overnight.
- Don’t need a specific expertise.
- Can claim ownership of product and put your name on it as the author.
- Can edit the product, completely change it or leave as is.
- Way less time consuming than creating a product yourself.
- Much cheaper than outsourcing and having the product created for you.
- Most people who buy them don’t take any action.
- Many times the all in one package comes complete with sales page including graphics.
- Gain credibility by having your own product.
- Have more flexibility than you do with RR or MRR.
- Sometimes, in the case of software based products, the original product creator will handle, or help with customer service,
- You can change and sell as your own, or sell right away with the original author’s name.
Cons of PLR
- Can be expensive to purchase the rights for a good product.
- There may be lots of copies readily available online (ie. the market’s been over saturated).
- More competition than having your own product, which you created or had created from scratch which can devalue the product.
- It takes some effort to make your PLR product unique.
- It’s possible to damage your reputation by selling the same or similar product as someone else with his or her name on it.
- Can be obscure rights restrictions placed on the license – read it first.
- Sense of accomplishment isn’t as great as having created your own product from scratch.
In my opinion and that of many others, the benefits of using PLR products hugely outweigh the disadvantages so long as you work with the right PLR products and not the $0.99 crap on eBay.So long as you have a good PLR product with a hungry market and you present it to them in an attractive way, you’re bound to do well selling it. In an upcoming post, I’ll talk about where and how to find great quality private label rights products at an affordable price.

i have used the .99 so called crap and first of all i have found only a few articles that were used the same way or changed a bit but most of the articles have not been used by people, we searched everywhere for duplicate content and could not find it.there are some gems but you have to do your research.i think some people only used a few of the articles made their money and split. one of the sneakiest marketing methods on the net is to challenge the credibility of others methods. a great example are those websites that make every other money making idea seem undoable then they go and tell you that after their hard years of struggling to make it online they finally found a system that “really” works,you click on the link and your taken to an opt in page or straight to the sales page.ive seen these everywhere they go something like this “IVE BEEN SCAMMED 37 TIMES”OR “THEYRE ALL SCAMS!”
