The ABC of modifying PLR Articles

The most important thing to understand about PLR articles is that the basic article has already been created for you. This saves you the trouble of having to sweat over creating an article from scratch.

You could simply upload your PLR article to your site, but this is not the best way to use it.

Instead, spend some time modifying the PLR article and turning it into something different from what your competitors who bought the same product have. Getting into the habit of changing a private label rights article is one of the most important things you will do when using these products. It may take some time, but far less time than thinking up a topic, planning and writing an original article from scratch.

Here are some ways to modify a PLR article:

  1. Completely rewrite the title, inserting your own keywords if possible.
  2. Delete one of the paragraphs of the PLR article.
  3. Add a paragraph of your own to the article.
  4. Try and find a good way to rearrange the paragraphs.
  5. Reverse the order of clauses in some sentences.
  6. Turn active sentences into passive ones and passive sentences into active ones.
  7. Replace single words with longer phrases and longer phrases with single words.
  8. Whenever there is a list, add something extra to it.
You are allowed to put your name on PLR articles. This means you can publish the product under your name. Many people use PLR articles simply to take advantage of this option. If you work over your PLR articles as I have suggested, you need not feel so bad about putting your name to it, since you will have made it 40-50% original anyway!
