PLR vs Free Reprint Articles

By Tishia

When it comes to writing content for your blog, or any content you use – newsletters, reports, ebooks, etc – it can be time consuming, tiring and frustrating. Coming up with new ideas for that content on a regular basis isn’t always easy. We all go through a ‘dry spell’ and can’t seem to come up with anything to write about. That’s where different types of content can come in handy.

You’ve probably heard about private label rights (PLR) articles and free reprint articles but which is better to use and why?

Private Label Rights

Private label rights is a concept similar to reselling, but the merchant is permitted to modify the product to fit his or her needs. Typical PLR products are articles, reports, eBooks, and autoresponders. This kind of content is used for the purpose of allowing multiple buyers to invest in the content with free rein to alter and use it by claiming authorship of it. It is typically used in online affiliate marketing systems. –Wikipedia Definition

PLR content can be used as is (I do NOT recommend this), changed around and re-written using your own voice (I do recommend this), broken apart into blog posts or articles or you can use PLR to add content to eBooks, reports, etc.

Free Reprint Articles

Free reprint articles are content you find at article directories such as Ezine Articles or Lady Pens. The articles are free for you to use as long as you don’t change the content and as long as you leave the author bio in place with a live link back to their website.

Both PLR and free reprint articles have their pros as well as cons. Of those two options you can probably see that PLR is a better choice than free reprint articles. Don’t let yourself be totally turned off to the idea of using free reprint articles. They can come in handy at times. For example there may come a time that you are talking about a topic that branches out into an area that you aren’t real familiar with. So instead of trying to write your own content you can find a free reprint article pertaining to that topic and use that. If you’re going to use a free reprint article make sure it’s well written and useful to your readers.

So the next time you have a dry spell and can’t come up with any fresh ideas for content give PLR or free reprint articles a try. Want to use PLR but don’t have the time to rewrite it? Let Tishia Saves Time rewrite it for you adding a personal voice and personality to it instead of leaving it as is.

Today Is National Clean Your Desk Day

By Tishia

Whoever thought that cleaning your desk would be a national day?

I’m a very organized person…sometimes way over the top even, a little OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) you might say. But for some reason when it comes to my desk and work area I have a hard time keeping it organized and clean!

National Clean Up Your Computer Month

By Tishia

Did you know that January is National Clean Up Your Computer Month?

January is the beginning of a new year. The time when everyone is gung ho full speed ahead with New Year’s Resolutions. If we make resolutions to start the new year ‘fresh’, with a clean slate so to speak, doesn’t it make sense that our computers do to?

I don’t know about you but sometimes I forget my computer needs a little TLC (tender loving care). Right now my hard drive is cluttered with gazillions of eBooks, documents, etc that I  don’t even know what 90% of them are anymore.  Let’s just say I’m queen of purchasing eBooks, downloading free eBooks, etc to my hard drive thinking I’ll get back to them later only I seldom do (admit it – I know you’re nodding your head in agreement here).

Documents and eBooks are only the beginning of the cluttered state of my hard drive. Don’t even get me started on how many pictures are on here waiting for me to burn to a disc or put on a USB 2.0 Flash Drive. Or all the music and videos…yeah you get the point.

Enough picking on myself it’s time to go and do some serious clean up on my computer!

p.s. Be sure to come back tomorrow to get one tip, of several,  to cleaning up your computer.

It’s Been Four Years!

By Tishia

Wow! I can’t believe that this month marks my fourth year working from home as a Virtual Assistant! It’s been an interesting journey – one of many ups and downs but one that I’ll never take for granted or regret doing.

I have had moments where I wanted to throw in the towel and go back to a J-O-B (thankfully such an insane thought as that only lasted a few fleeting seconds! lol). But when I really stop and think about (when I’m having one of those ‘throw in the towel’ days) the reason I’m having a moment like this it’s because I’ve let myself get to that point…meaning I’ve added to many projects to my plate or haven’t taken any down time and ‘unplugged’.

I’ve come a long way in these four years and I’m excited for where this next year (and many more years to come!) is going to go with my business. I’ve been working on some things in the background and soon I’ll be starting a regular ‘fun’ thing here on the blog every Monday.

I’m here to tell you that if you think working from home isn’t a reality or a possibility it IS! I’m a single mom supporting my son and I on my income I earn as a Virtual Assistant. It ISN’T something that happened overnight! In fact back in the beginning days I was doing all sorts of odds and ends type jobs (babysitting at my church, cleaning houses, running errands for people, etc) so I could make ends meet but be home building my VA business. It definitely takes a lot of determination, self-discipline, hard work and motivation but it can be done.
