Publish Private Label Content Offline
This is a route few people reading this will be interested in taking, but nevertheless, there is certainly money to be made from using PLR content offline.
Earlier I talked about using private label articles or ebooks to create a newsletter. Using the same methods you can begin publishing a real printed newsletter that you charge for and send through the mail.
As long as your content is good, this can be very lucrative, even without charging the higher subscription fees you see from some of the big-name internet marketers who offer printed newsletters.
It's possible to cover the entire cost of production and then some from just the postage and handling fee you charge, enabling you to make your offer appear a good deal (remember, tangible items generally have a higher perceived value).
Also, people buying a physical product are less likely to request a refund because they have to actually go to the trouble of returning the product. Chargebacks are also reduced because you can prove the product was shipped and received.
Turn Your PLR Content Into A Printed Book
Newsletters are not the only route of course. You can also make use of online services that will turn the Word or PDF files you send them into printed books. These companies sell, print and ship your books for you using "print on demand" technology (no inventory is kept, copies of the book being printed immediately upon receipt of a customer's order).
The first step is to create your own book manuscript using content from high quality PLR ebooks. Then all you need to do is get an account at somewhere like Lulu.com or Cafepress.com and you can start selling it as a paperback. There are no minimum quantities or huge set-up fees, and they even have marketplaces where your book will be listed for free, increasing your sales from people you would never have reached on your own.
Create A Hot-Selling Amazon Book From PLR
There are several options to sell a book you've created with PLR in Amazon.com marketplace.
The first is the Amazon Advantage program. With Advantage you sell to Amazon at a 55% discount and on consignment (i.e., you don't get paid until Amazon sells the books). There's also a yearly membership fee of $29.95 and your books must have an ISBN (International Standard Book Number). You can get an ISBN from either Cafepress or Lulu if you use their print on demand services to create your books.
Another alternative is CreateSpace, Amazon's own publish-on-demand service. There's no setup fee, but you are charged for the physical creation of your book. Prices start from $3.66 for black and white books of up to 108 pages. For B&W Books over 110 pages the price is $1.50 plus $0.02 per page. Colour books cost substantially more.
In addition, Amazon keep 20% of the list price for sales made in the CreateSpace eStore, and 40% for sales made on Amazon.com
If you don't already have one, you get a free ISBN. And listings on Amazon include the Search Inside feature which enables people to find your book when they search for keywords present within it.
BookSurge, also owned by Amazon offers yet another print-on-demand route. This is a more personalized service for those whose needs aren't met by CreateSpace, where you'll talk to a BookSurge publishing consultant about creating, publishing and selling your books. Services include custom formatting, editing, cover design, marketing, and fulfillment services for sales on Amazon.com and elsewhere.
And to finish off, there's still the traditional route: Know anyone working in a book publishing company? Talk to them, get them to connect you with someone in authority and find out what sort of things they are looking for, what they'd be interested in publishing. Put your book together in MS Word, and approach them to publish it.
