Collecting The Right PLR Ebooks To Sell
One of the most common mistakes of many ebook sellers is that they approach the decision of which products to buy backwards. They see a seemingly great ebook, purchase it, and then try to find a way to successfully market it. Instead, they should start with an understanding of which specific niche markets they plan to target and then find the right PLR ebook to meet that need. If you start with the product first, you risk being seduced by something that seems appealing to you but that might not have a solid following in the marketplace.
If you don’t know the niche first, you risk investing in PLR products that don’t serve a burning need within the interested population or you may end up spending on an ebook that will have to compete with a superior product. Never buy that seemingly perfect title unless you already know that you can make it into a winner. Start with the market first, and find the product second.
That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t explore the terrain covered by an ebook you discover in a niche in which you aren’t familiar. If you see a seemingly perfect ebook, feel free to take the time to investigate its niche(s) and whether you feel there is a real opportunity there. However, don’t make the purchase unless you are certain there is a market for the product and that you can successfully penetrate that market.
Some subscription services will offer a regular supply of PLR ebooks to members. These can be a great bargain source of inventory for your digital bookstore. However, you will want to be certain that the supplier is backing its offerings with an understanding of the niches approached and not merely supplying you with randomly chosen topics. If you can find a PLR subscription service you can trust, this is a great way to let someone else do the market research for you.
Do consult with the Info Product Creation Manual for some fabulous tips on how to easily come up with your own digital items. The easiest way to procure digital products, however, is by buying the resale, master resale, or private label rights of existing goods. This may sound confusing for novice marketers, so do refer to All Rights Explained for a comprehensive explanation on how these different rights work.
A good advice on PLR products… BUY FRESH!
In the traditional book world, some titles are “evergreen.” You can bet that people will continue to read “the classics” for decades and decades. That’s why you’ll find Shakespeare and Greek tragedies sharing shelf space at your local bookstore alongside the newest offerings from cutting edge writers. “Evergreen” ebook titles are few and far between, if they exist at all. Informational product buyers are on the lookout for immediately useable and fresh material. They aren’t, by and large, interested in classic or “vintage” titles. That makes it essential for you to focus your PLR ebook purchasing on new materials.
Don’t invest in old ebooks that have “been around the block.” Not only will a significant percentage of your potential target market already have the ebook, others will eschew it as “old,” preferring the newest releases and information. You will also encounter greater competition if backing an ebook that is already in the hands of thousands of other marketers. Determining the “age” of a PLR ebook can be difficult. The fact that the information was sold with private label rights attached means that it may not be easy to clearly identify the “core” of the ebook among the many different offerings.
However, many sellers will rely on pitching the ebook without making significant changes, so it does make sense to look for the “base title” in use elsewhere. It also pays to ask the seller how long the material has been available and when it was originally released. Market research also provides you with a means of “freshness testing.” If the contents of the specific ebook don’t appear to be in high demand, for instance, that may be an indicator that the PLR materials you are considering have “already made the rounds.”
PLR subscription services are a great way to obtain new PLR material and to capture the advantage of freshness in your digital bookstore’s inventory. You will, as noted elsewhere, want to make sure the subscription service is supplying you with high-demand material. If they clear that hurdle, they can be a great source of winning ebooks that are “brand spanking new” and extra-appealing to the buying public.
If you own or are considering the purchase of older PLR ebooks, do so only after considering what your remedies will be if the ebook doesn’t successfully sell as a standalone product. Do you have other related material you could bundle creatively into a package? Would you be able to use the “raw” content to support a niche site with contextual advertising? Is there some other way you could use the content if it does turn out to be a bit “stale?”
If you aren’t buying “fresh” (and you really should be), make sure you know what you are doing and buying with a backup plan 
- If you can choose ebooks that don’t create a cause for concern among those who are suspicious of ebooks, your odds of posting sales will be higher.
