Running a service based business can be hectic. This time of year tends to add even more stress with trying to prepare for the holidays, busy schedules, strict deadlines, and crabby customers. Elaine has offered some simple yet very effective ways to keep your sanity during the holiday season. http://experts.internetbasedmoms.com/elaine

Speaking of crabbiness, we've all heard the old saying, you reap what you sow. Sarah discusses how your attitude and the way you look at things can have a boomerang effect. http://experts.internetbasedmoms.com/sarah

Let's keep the positive energy flowing this week and take a few minutes each day to do as Elaine suggests,  pause, breath and smile.

21 Ideas for Your PLR Content 

There are so many things you can do with content…and PLR content is no different.  Here are 21 ideas to get your creative juices flowing.  

Note: Always check the terms of use for your private label content – some usage rights vary.  

1.    Search Engine Food:  Place the articles on your website and modify them to target your own chosen keyword phrase.  Never expect to receive a ranking for the keyword phrase the article was originally written for, because you’ll just be competing with everyone else who publishes the same article.  Think a little outside the box and you’ll do great.  

2.   Ezine Content:  If you publish a full-blown ezine, complete with articles, here’s an easy way to add content.  Just pop in the articles and you’re ready to go. 

3.    Personal Newsletter Content:  Use the content ideas as a basis of communicating directly with your newsletter subscribers.  Just because the content is formatted as an article, doesn’t mean you can’t take those ideas and make them your own by adding your own comments, opinions, etc.  

4.    Load Your Autoresponder:  If you haven’t updated your pre-sequenced autoresponder in a while, load your autoresponder with fresh PLR content so you stay on your prospects’ minds. 

5.    Make an Ecourse:  Selling a product via an ecourse?  Take the content and make a 5-7 day ecourse that informs and sells your product at the same time. 

6.    Blog Content:  Just like with your email marketing, you can publish the articles as is, or use them as a basis for more personal communication with your readers. 

7.    Promote Products:  Wherever you publish PLR, link to relevant products to buy. Promote your own products or use an affiliate link. 

8.    Display Ads:  Whether you use Adsense, TextLink ads or Auction ads, it doesn’t matter.  PLR content is perfect for displaying these and earning some extra cash. 

9.    Promote Your Mailing List:  If someone likes the content in an article, they’ll likely want to sign up for your mailing list…so be sure to offer a free subscription. 

10.  Build Your Mailing List by Giving Away a Report:  Put together a bundle of articles into a useful report.  Give it away free to anyone who signs up for your mailing list. 

11.  Use the Content as a Basis for an Information Product:  Use the articles to help create your own information product for sale.  A lot of the writing and research is already done for you, making it a near no-brainer. 

12.  Give Articles to Your Affiliates:  Modify the articles to strategically promote your product and give the articles to your affiliates to publish as is.  

13.  Create Brandable Reports for Your Affiliates:  Affiliates love giving out top-quality reports.  Bundle those great articles into a report and allow your affiliates to distribute them with their affiliate link inside. 

14.  Turn it Into Audio or Video:  Use the content as a basis for an audio recording or video.  It could be freely available, a free subscription offer or even a product for sale. 

15.  Turn PLR Recipes into Recipe Books:  Bundle recipes into a themed recipe book.  Try making it an unannounced bonus for your customers or subscribers …they’ll love it. 

16.  Add Interactivity to PLR Product Reviews:  Many PLR memberships offer product reviews.  Put them on your site with your affiliate link and allow your readers to submit their own reviews and ratings as well. 

17.  Target General Articles to Your Audience:  If you have a PLR article on a generic topic like time management, you can easily do a bit of rewriting to really speak to your audience.  Flesh out articles with examples your audience can relate to and add some practical tips they’ll be sure to use. 

18.  Make Pamphlets & Booklets for Offline Use:  Who says PLR is only for online promotion?  Ask if you can leave the pamphlets/booklets at doctors’  offices, stores or wherever your target audience gathers. 

19.  Turn PLR Content into a Bonus Product:  Add more value to your information product by creating a bonus out of PLR content. 

20.  Add the Content to a Membership Site or Other Continuity Program: If you have customers paying for any type of subscription, offer some PLR content to add more value to your offer.  

21.  Print Out That Bonus & Include it with Your Shipped Products:  For example, if you sell a baby monitor that you ship to your customers, put together a printed booklet that shows parents how to help their baby sleep better.  Your customers will appreciate the extra effort.
