Friday is the day where I give you free content that you can use on your blog – with your affiliate link, to make money with affiliate marketing. Hurray!

Not only that, but it’s copy/paste ready for you to profit.

So, yep. You can make money by publishing my stuff. Pretty cool eh?

Of course, rules apply.

• You can’t edit the articles in any other way.
• You have to keep the author’s name on there. In this case, me.
• And, you must link to the author’s product in the article through the resource box. (BUT you can use your affiliate link for their product.)

Here are the latest articles…

Just click through, copy/paste the article onto your blog. Change the link in the article to YOUR affiliate link for that product so that anyone who clicks it and buys will earn you money for referring them.

• 4 Common Misconceptions about PLR Content
  Recently, in an interview, I was asked this question: “Can you explode any misconceptions that stop people from using PLR content?” Here is my answer.

PS. My Assistant has Google Alerts set for my name and is instructed to bookmark every blog post that he gets notice of that mentions me.   So, I'll hopefully be sending you some traffic in thanks for sending me some. I think that's only fair to do, don't you?

Your site will be bookmarked by either one of these two sites:

• Social Adr
• Social Monkee

What is “Free Content Friday”? It's exactly what it says – I'll post free content every week that you can publish on your blog.

Some of the content that I post here will come with PLR rights. Others will come with reprint rights. Either way, it’s free stuff (articles, reports, audios, videos) that you can post on your blog/website or publish in your ezines (and most will include the opportunity to earn some money).

If you missed last week, I posted this free PLR article: What Are 4 Things a Blogger Can Outsource?

If you’d like to learn more about what PLR is and how you can use it in your online business – and stock up on some high quality content, I recommend you swing by www.EasyPLR.com for more info.

ok. Here’s the article. See rules/rights for how you can use it in your business (on your blog, ezine, etc.) at the end.

Virtual Assistants: 4 Ways to Get More Clients Today!

4 Ways to Get More Business/Clients/Traffic (Now/Today/Immediately)

If you’re a Virtual Assistant (substitute ghostwriter, designer, copywriter, service provider, freelancer), you know that the one thing that keeps your income steady, is a finding clients. Luckily, there are several ways to keep a steady stream of clients coming in through your door.

Here are just a few:

1. Advertise in Ezines.
There are online newsletters everywhere that accept advertising. The key is to purchase advertising in publications that reach your target market and to create your ad to showcase your expertise. Don’t try to be everything to everyone or you won’t attract clients.

Ad Example of what Not to Write: “Hire me to lighten your workload. I can do everything that you don’t want to do. Let’s talk!”

Ad Example of what works:  “Are you ready to get more leads to your business? I will handle your ezine advertising campaign for you. No more searching for targeted ezines, no more writing and tracking your ads. I’ll handle it all it all. My clients experience a boost in subscribers after I complete my ezine advertising campaigns that will pay for my services. Check out my website for testimonials and free tips.”

Recommended Resource: Check out the Directory of Ezines to find Ezines for you (or your client) to advertise in.

2. Write and Submit Articles.
The key is to stay on topic. Don’t write and submit articles about health or pet care. Present a problem in your article and solve it. Make sure your author bio is very compelling to attract potential clients.

Recommended Resource: If you've never tried article marketing, I'd suggest this course to get started – www.EasyArticleMarketing.com

3. Network where *successful* people hang out.
A huge mistake that VA’s make is to hang out on forums where there are other people struggling to make money. Instead, join a membership site for your target market and you’ll find yourself in the "inner circle"

Recommended Resource: The best place to meet new clients is live and in person. The event that I recommend you attend first is NAMS.

4. Advertise at Shelancers.com.
One of the easiest ways to get your name in front of business owners looking for help is to join Shelancers.com.

Again, it is crucial that you list your specialty in order to stand out from the other service providers. But, if you can find a problem that business owners face, and offer to handle it for them, you’ll attract loyal clients who will continue to work with you.

These are just a few of the ways you can boost your client base quickly. What are some of your favorite methods? Please share them below.

Actually, that's not so much the case as there are a TON of different ways to make money with affiliate marketing. The hard part is choosing the easy one for you.

I just found this video from my friend, Liz Tomey, and by “my friend” yes, I've known her for a few years. No, we don't vacation together or paint each other's toenails, but I know and like her.

I also enjoy chatting it up with her hubby Jamie Bing (who happens to also be her affiliate manager), too.

So, back to the point of this blog post, Liz created a wonderfully simple video and I really enjoyed it.

BUT, that's not the reason why I'm posting it here. I'm sharing it because I think it can really help a lot of you to see through the fuzz and come up with a course of action.

Kind of like those Claritin commercials where they pull the plastic off the screen to show everything crystal clear? Like that.

So, quit reading this and click play right now! Geez. Bossy, aren't I.

If you're ready to rock and roll with one of Liz's ideas,
you can Grab the Tax Man PLR Blowout Package here.

Now some info that Liz gave me to help explain what's going on here.

Easy Affiliate Marketing: Do This and Repeat Every Week – And Profit!

Private label rights has been a hot topic over the last several years and for a good reason.

When you get private label rights to a product, you can take that product and turn it into your own content or your own product.

Imagine all the time you will save NOT having to create all the content…

As affiliate marketers though sometimes we are overlooked on the private label rights front, so today I wanted to dedicate this post to helping you learn how to use private label rights content to explode your affiliate marketing…

First off…

Affiliate marketing should always start with building a list in your chosen niche. This is key…

Simply setup a squeeze page giving something of great value away for free in exchange for the visitors name and email address. (I use this autoresponder.)

Videos are awesome to use in your marketing because of the conversions that they can produce. Anytime you can get private label rights to videos you need to snatch them up!

Side Note: Liz Tomey has just released a huge package of private label rights products that include video workshops, video product, video reviews and so much more. This will help you a ton in your affiliate marketing and you can get the entire package PLUS personal coaching from Liz at here:  PLR Package

Now once you start building a list, you basically have a license to print money.

You simply find a (edited to add: GREAT) product related to your niche and send an email to your list about it. They buy, are happy, and you make money.

It really is that simple…

Now once you have your list, you can also do other things to profit from it.

Stuff like…

Adding bonuses for buying through your links
Review products and sending the reviews to your list
Create products that you own and sell to your list

And so so so much more!

So here's the plan step-by-step…

1. Create a squeeze page that gives something away for free to start building your list

Note: You can use PLR content to create your free offer.

2. Review a product and create a message to send to your list that has a link to the review. You can then load this into your autoresponder and each person who joins your list will automatically get it.

Note: In Liz Tomey's Tax Man PLR Blowout package she gives you 25 video reviews of 25 different products that you can send to your list. You can get these by clicking here -> Tax Man PLR Package.

3. Find a product to promote to your list, and create a bonus to give to people who buy through your link. Create a message to send to your list that has a link to your bonus offer. You can then load this into your autoresponder and each person who joins your list will automatically get it.

Note: You can use PLR content to create your bonus product. You can get incredible PLR content to create your bonus with by clicking here -> Tax Man PLR Package.

4. Find good PLR content and use it to create your own product.  Create a message to send to your list that has a link to your product in it. You can then load this into your autoresponder and each person who joins your list will automatically get it.

5. Rinse and repeat steps 2, 3, and 4….

This is the best way to create an autopilot income hands down!

If you actually DO this, then ALL you have to concentrate on is driving traffic to your squeeze page.

So, there you go. There's an entire plan using PLR content as an affiliate marketer!

Now where do you get all this private label content from?

I recommend that you check out Liz Tomey's Tax Man PLR Package.

In this package you'll get private label rights to video reviews, entire workshop and coaching programs, products, and more that are ALL personally created by Liz Tomey…

Not only that, but Liz is also offering personal coaching showing you how to use all the content too!

Now there are only 500 of these packages that will be sold, so make sure you go and grab one if you want it right now.

Remember, you can get an extra $50 in PLR from EasyPLR.com as a special bonus.

So, here’s what to do if you’re interested in this package:

1. Check out Liz Tomey’s amazing offer by clicking here: Grab the Tax Man Blowout Here!

2. If you decide to purchase, go ahead and order.

3. Be sure to check out the additional offer. I grabbed that one, too.

4. After you order, look around at EasyPLR.com and pick out the article packs that you’d like (max. $50).

5. Send your receipt to helper@easyplr.com along with the names of the PLR packs that you’d like as your bonuses.

6. Start downloading like crazy! And, get ready for Liz’s coaching.

7. Apply and profit.

If you're unfamiliar with a cross-blog conversation, basically, it's a conversation that stretches across two (or more) blogs. I had a cross-blog conversation with Lynn Terry ages ago – before we hardly knew each other, and also a cross blog conversation with Kelly McCausey, around the same time.

So, it's time for another.

I'm very excited for this cross-blog conversation as I'll be chatting with Trish Lindemood, who I recently met online at Lynn Terry's Elite Mastermind Group. I was immediately impressed with Trish's professionalism and took note of her. So, when she asked me to cross-blog, I didn't hesitate a second to say “yes”.

Here's how this thing works….

Trish started on her blog here: Cross Blog Conversation with Nicole Dean

In it, she asked two questions about PLR articles. So now, I will answer them here and ask her a question. She'll answer my question on her blog and ask me another. Her questions can be about anything she'd like.

We'll volley back and forth like a tennis ball a few times and then either I'll pass on to someone else or she will.

You get to listen in and comment. Sound good?

Let's get to it:

Hi Trish,

Thanks so much for the nice words about my blog. I'd never really considered myself a blogger, until I started to be recognized by others as such. All of a sudden I received nominations for awards and I thought “hmm.. maybe I am a blogger”. So, I certainly appreciate your comments. They do mean a lot to me. And, yes, I do strive to have fun blogging, as you've mentioned with my Weird Website Wednesdays.

Yes, I am very proud of EasyPLR.com – and the fact that I've been able to continue to grow a strong customer base because of the quality that we offer and the limited distribution. As PLR sites seem to be popping up around every corner, that's been what has made us stand apart since we opened our doors in 2006.

As for your questions, you asked –

1.) What “rights” come with the purchase of Private Label Rights content?  – and what can’t you do with it?

That's a great question. The rights vary by PLR provider and can range from pretty strict rules to completely unlimited usage, depending on the whim of the PLR seller. So be sure to check the rights that come with any PLR that you purchase to make sure you don't inadvertently break any rules.

The rules at EasyPLR.com fall somewhere in the middle. I've set our rules so that our PLR retains its value, but so that the rights aren't so strict that you feel like you're not getting to use the PLR as you'd like.

Here's a quick summary of What Can NOT Be Done With the Articles from EasyPLR.com:

*You may not use any content from any EasyPLR.com package as part of another PLR product or offer PLR rights to any content purchased at EasyPLR.com.

*You may not distribute the articles through a free reprint directory. (This is against terms of service for most article directories.)

Obviously, if our customers were to sell PLR rights to our articles to others – it would totally negate the value of offering limited distribution rights on our site, which is why that's a big “no-no” for us.

2.) Other than adding new content to your site, what are some other ways PLR content can be used to build your business?

Here are some ideas for what you Can Do with our Private Label Rights Articles:

*You can change & edit the articles as you wish.
*You can use these articles in your newsletter.
*You can use these articles in your autoresponder.
*You can use these articles in your membership site.
*You can use them in a free eCourse
*You can use them in a free Special Report.
*You can use them in a free eBook.
*You can use them in a paid product.

We have others use the content in offline training, and even some clever marketers who convert the articles into audio and video. One marketer turned plr content into a coffee table book.

As with most things, we're really only limited by our imagination.

In our conversation at the elite group, you brought up a very good question, so I'll ask it:

Why would a professional writer who makes her living writing for others support the use of PLR?

It's obvious that you're a highly skilled copywriter, so why would you support PLR when it's looked down upon by so many others in your profession?

Looking forward to your reply.

Warmly,
Nicole

Hi,

Nicole here from EasyPLR.com

I love PLR. Do you?

What I don't love is wasting money on content that I can't use.

I personally don't like to join new PLR sites without knowing
what they offer inside the members area. Because of that, I'd
like to give you “peeks” into this month's content at one of
my favorite PLR sites.

They just updated their content for October. So, here's a peek
into some of the PLR content that you can download today
(including article titles, report titles, and product review
specifics).

1. Marketing Content.
30 articles, 10 product reviews, 1 short report, and 10 “how to”
pieces — see the marketing PLR titles that are included here.

2. Health Content.
Special report, 30 articles, 10 product reviews, and 10 healthy
recipes.
View the health content titles here.

3. Mom Content.
Here you'll get a report, recipes, 30 articles and 10 product
reviews — all about things moms care about.
Here's what's included this month:
October Mom Content Sneak Peak

This same service also offers content about finance, crafting,
and travel. They even have research and press packages.

I recommend that you check out all of the available PLR content.

Have a wonderful, productive day.

Warmly,
Nicole

I put together a little report for you with more information about when to use Free Reprint Articles, when to use a Ghostwriter and how to determine if a PLR service is worth your time or not. You can read it here – http://www.easyPLR.com/EasyPLRreport.pdf

I also wanted to remind you that the PLR content at All Mom Content will be increasing in price this Saturday. This month, when you sign up, you'll even get a free Halloween report that you can use on your website. Very cool. Check it out here and get your spot before the price increases –
CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

And, we also have several new packages at http://www.easyplr.com/ that you'll want to check out — especially our Pregnancy package which comes with three reports you can use.

Have a wonderful day!
Nicole
