If you face with writer’s block problem or don’t know what to write about in your topic, PLR (Private Label Rights) articles might be a good solution. “PLR” stands for Private Label Rights, that grants you the right to use content written by someone else as if it were your own. The problem with the PLR articles is that so many people may already use them. Therefore it is almost impossible to have unique PLR content on your blog or website. However, you can re-write PLR articles to create unique blog content. The good news is there is an online re-write service called Content Boss which helps you re-write a PLR and make a unique article.
Let’s go step by step:
- Sign up Content Boss now – $29.99 a month instead of $67 a month standard using the discount offer link
- Google “PLR article pack” and buy a few PLR packs related to your blog topic (you may launch new blogs with different topics too!)
- Login to your Content Boss account, and then click on “Content Wrangler”
- Read the quick start guide for best results.
- Copy/Paste a PLR article on the web form so as to create a unique article.
- Insert the reserved words (the words you want to keep as is)
- Click on “Wrangle” button.
- Content Boss immediately creates a unique article from the PLR article you pasted by replacing the words with synonym.
- Also change the article title so that it is not similar to the PLR title anymore.
- That’s all!

Have you ever dreamed of creating your own blogging course? Actually creating your own e-course is much more easier than you might imagine. All you need is to find a topic that you can educate interested people, and then write the lessons. You can use an email autoresponder service like Aweber to create your own e-course.
- Find a topic that you are experienced enough to teach people about.
- Announce the course using social media and your blog.
- Create a sign up form for interested people.
- Write 10 or 15 lessons about the topic.
- Use Aweber to schedule the lessons so that they are automatically sent even if you are offline. One lesson per week is ideal.
- Send the lessons to the subscribers.
- Create a platform where you can answer the questions (this could be your blog!)
- That’s all!
