Using PLR Articles – Create a niche website

Mike — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:10:01 +0000

Last post about using PLR articles I went through how I can use them for creating a new list building system. Today I’ll start (yes just start because it will be a multi-part series) on how I use them to create niche sites.

Now I belong to Expert Content Monthly and get 12 topics each month with about 25 articles on each topic. The first thing I do is start running each topic through Market Samurai to find out which ones look to be the most profitable.

Now you can do this without buying software and I went over how to do that in EZ Keyword Research but the time savings if you are doing this regularly make the purchase of quality software a no brainer.

For me I will usually do no more than 3 of the 12 and look for the topics that are generating the highest ad words cost at least initially.

Once I find a high paying topic the next step is to find 6- 8 keywords that are mid range competitive but the most profitable at least from the aspect what advertisers are willing to spend.

Each of those 6 – 8 keywords I will drill down further looking for profitable phrases with good traffic and low competition. If I can’t find long tail words that are relatively easy to rank for I will go to a different topic.

If I can find them I build my keyword tree. The keyword tree will look like this.

Then go look for a keyword rich domain on my topic. This is just the first step and will get into step 2 next time. Any questions or improvements you can suggest just leave a comment.

Monetizing the PLR articles you have

If you are like me I am sure that you have more than one package of PLR articles gathering digital dust on your hard drive. If they are not total crap (and some of the articles are believe me) there are ways to monetize them.

If they are really good quality like Nicole Dean puts out at Easy PLR, these are perfect for creating e-courses for your list building efforts. Being limited quantity and good quality makes it a no brainer when the topic is something I can use and have purchased more than one from her.

The key though is to actually use them and you may have some good quality on your hard drive right now that could become an e-course easily.

Then you may be a member of a monthly site like Expert Content Monthly where you receive 12 packages a month of articles on different topics.

Those types of article packages can be perfect for creating content sites in a variety of niches. But like everything else it takes a bit of effort and most importantly research. All niches are not created equal, at least when it comes to the money .

Next time I will walk through exactly how I use articles to create an e-course quickly and after that I will show you exactly how I use articles to create content sites to test a niche and then decide if I want to take it up a notch.
