Traffic is the key once you have completed your editing of your private label rights package and gotten it online. It does not matter if you created a list building system or a paid product your next step is to generate traffic to your system.

Now there are numerous ways to do that. The quickest is to pay for traffic whether it be PPC or banner advertising. The downside is that it can end up costing you more than you make. Now I will use this in a limited way to test out the process and get quick traffic but I prefer using some of the “free” traffic generation techniques.

Yes, I did put free in quotes for a reason. There is always time or outsourcing to pay for whether with cash or your sweat. The good part is that most of the “free” traffic will take a bit of time to start working but once they do will continue to work for you off of the initial effort.

Free traffic sources can be article writing, blogging, various web 2.0 sites, and much more. You can get tips and tricks on 15 different ways to drive traffic at Top Traffic Tips.

The thing is the key to getting the most out of all of these ways is targeting the right keywords. Even with PPC finding the right keywords that people are searching for WHEN they are looking for a solution is the key.

After all the key is to attract people who are willing to pay and not in research mode.

There are a variety of free tools that you can use to do this but you will pay with your time. That is why I use Market Samurai for my keyword research. You can get a free trial and see if it is for you and go through the training they supply.

This will show you how to find keywords to target that will drive targeted buyers to your new site. This will save you a tremendous amount of either time or wasted money targeting the wrong keywords to generate traffic to your new product or squeeze page.

Private label rights (PLR) can be a big help in growing your business. There are numerous things you need to do to create a business online. Here are three big ones.

• Lead acquisition
• Create products
• Drive traffic

Private label rights products can be used to do or supplement all of those. Lets look at a few ways to do just that.

Starting with lead acquisition PLR reports can be an excellent way to quickly create a gift or ethical bribe to add people to your list. You can embed your links (affiliate landmines) within these products to make them even more valuable.

Sometimes you can find products with a squeeze page already made saving you even more time. You can also use quality article packs to create a report or e-course. I have done this quite frequently and try to add at least one new lead acquisition site each month.

Now I like affiliate marketing but the most profitable lists when I promote a product as an affiliate are those that have already bought my product. Having your own product is extremely valuable even if you primarily market affiliate products. Your subscribers trust you and are much more likely to follow your recommendations.

Creating your own product can be very easy when using a PLR product. Yes you will need to do some editing, change up the sales letter and tweak it to be you but it is much faster than creating a product on your own.

The key here is to get quality private label rights products to start with. Unfornately there is a lot of junky rehashed garbage out there which is why I only promote certain PLR products.

Make sure you sign up to the update list whether by RSS or email as when I find good quality products I always add them here.

Finally you can use private label rights for generating traffic. There are numerous content methods you can use to drive traffic. It can be blogging, various Web 2.0 properties like Squidoo, Hub Pages and even article marketing.

Now you will still need to do some editing and rewriting of PLR articles but this can be a huge time saver. You can generate lots of traffic using these methods and although they are not free because they take time (and it has a value) but they continue to work over and over.

So there are three ways that private label rights can help you build your business.

PLR or private label rights products or contents can be used in quite a few different business models. The number of different ways you can use PLR is really determined by your own imagination. Here are 5 common ways to get your imagination going.

The 5 ways to be discussed are…

• Creating your products
• Building your lists
• Web content
• Bonuses
• Linking content

Now each can be applied in many different ways.

Creating your own product is probably the one that comes to mind first to most people. This can be very simple or complex depending on the quality of the PLR you start with. Having your own product is one of the best ways to grow your business.

PLR can be perfect for creating reports to use as an ethical bribe to build your list. Quite often you can even find PLR packages with everything you need for setting up a list building system. If you are interested in building a list about affiliate marketing check out this complete affiliate marketing package.

Web content is the next thing you can use PLR for. Grab a package on a topic and you have blog content for a new site on a new topic. You can split apart an ebook to do the same thing very easily. Quality content is always needed for your blogs and websites and this will save you significant time.

If you are an affiliate marketer creating a bonus for buying from you can add significantly more sales and money to your bottom line.Using PLR to create unique bonuses can be a great way to improve your results.

Finally you always need content for your linking strategy. Whether it is article submission, creating Web 2.0 back links from sites like Squidoo and Hub Pages having quality content can save you significant time.

Now all of these ways depend on having quality PLR to start with and unfortunately there can be a lot of junk out there. I will be going into more details on each of these strategies and try my best to only recommend quality PLR packs to help your business.

PLR (private label rights) articles can be used in many different ways. Here are three ways you can use PLR articles.

1. Create short report for list building – If you have 10 articles on a niche that you want to work in gather the articles. Open up Free Mind or what ever mind map you like to use and add the topics to your mind map

Sort them into a logical order (real easy to drag and drop them using Free Mind) and you have the outline for your report. Summarize each of the topics and you have a 7-10 page giveaway report to start building your list in that niche.

2. Blog content – Go through the articles and find the ones on the content you need for the keywords you are targeting. If they are close or easily changed to the keywords you are targeting that may be all you need to do to make them unique. Otherwise a quick rewrite and you can have one or two blog posts from each of the articles depending on how long they were to start.

3. Web 2.0 content – Sites like Squidoo, Hub Pages, et al can be an excellent way to generate links to your blog, squeeze page or sales page. A quick rewrite and these can add highly targeted content to these types of properties.

There are many more ways you can use them but apply one of these 3 today. Action is always the key. So if you have PLR articles collecting digital dust on your hard drive it is time to pull them out, dust them off and put them to use. I do.

Yesterdays post brought out a topic to be expanded so I figured it would be good to address them here. First a review of what was discussed.

One of the most common types of PLR (private label rights) that you will find is article packs. These can be a great way to get a variety of content for new or existing web sites. You have probably seen the various monthly memberships where you get a variety of articles on different topics, You need to do the keyword research first though.

One I use is Expert Content Monthly. I get 12 topics with 25 articles on each topic. This makes great content for niche blogs but…

Not all of the topics are equally valuable.

Now when I decide to do a topic there are some expenses in both time and money so it is not likely that I will do all twelve. After all I need to get an appropriate domain, install a new blog (although that has gotten easier with Expert WordPress), I need to redo the articles a bit to make them unique to me and then I need to start a linking strategy.

One of the questions was

Takeaway, you need to focus time and energy where they will have the greatest payoff. When you set up these sites up, it appears that Adsense is your only way to monetize them. Is it really worth the effort?

First I use Adsense as an initial way to monetize this type of site. It is quick and easy and helps me to see if people are buyers by the number of clicks. As I track the ads they click it allows me to see what type of items they are interested in.

This allows me to find affiliate offers that match the type of items they are clicking through to get. I will also be adding some standard items to the sidebars such as Amazon and other affiliate programs.

The sites that end up being the most successful almost always lose the Adsense as they grow. It is a great way to test things out and decide whether the topic is worth more effort because you do need to focus on the best payoff.

It only takes me about 6 hours total to set up the site, tweak and add the content, create some back links to see if it works. Then if it starts to earn spend the time to max it out. That is why the keyword research is so important to find the phrases you can generate traffic from quickly.

The keyword research before starting helps to sort the topics then the actual results from the initial site make it easy to see of it is worth more effort.
