The internet is a great place to make money and many are doing it by building virtual real estate empires online. Virtual real estate empires, or VRE’s, are websites that are built for one purpose: to invite traffic and, ultimately, to sell ad space, which will then bring you a profit. Some people are taking that one website and turning it into many websites, which means they are making even more money.

The best part is that they don’t have to do a thing. Just by having the website accessible, and by driving traffic to that site by writing articles on a specific subject, or anything else people will search for, they are making great money with very little work. You simply post a website, write the articles, and wait for people to visit. What could be easier than that?

Choose Your Niche

In order to build a virtual real estate empire online, you must choose a niche. This is the subject matter your articles will discuss. This can include anything from your favorite hobby, your favorite sport, your favorite cooking recipes, or anything else that comes to mind. The niche should be something that others will search for. If the niche is popular enough, then search engines will include your site in their searches, driving more and more traffic to your site.

How You Make Money

The goal of building your virtual real estate empire online is to make money and you do that by including selling ad space on your site. Ad services, such as those provided by Google and others, pay you every time someone clicks on the ad on your site. So, if your site is popular enough, you can get paid very handsomely just by having your site up and running. It’s a great way to make money and all it requires is for you to write the articles.

Your Virtual Empire

The more websites you build, the more your virtual real estate empire will grow online. You can even include links to all your other websites on your original website, which will increase your revenue and will also increase the chances that your website, or websites, will be listed higher on search engines. If you want to make money on the internet, and you’re looking for a way that’s easy and fun, then a virtual real estate empire online is the best way to go about it.

Before I start, here’s what we’re going through:

1. What is PLR (Private Label Rights)

2. Top 3 ways to use PLR Content

3. Top 3 mistakes people make

I wanted to spend some time to explain to you what PLR is, because there is a lot of misinformation out there right now surrounding PLR, and I’d like to help set the record straight!

Skip to the section of the post you want to go to, but I’d suggest you read the lot… no sales pitch here.

Ok, on with the rest.

Over the next 7 days or posts I want to take you from front to back on PLR material, and how it can help you in your online business. There won’t be much of a sales pitch here, but I will tell you the best place to get your PLR material from, but more on that later!

These next 7 posts you are going to see content that you can actually USE and apply right now, rather than 80% sell, and 20% content, so enjoy!

So with that said…

What is PLR?

It’s simple, it’s stuff that you can put your name too.

The thing is, private label rights (PLR) has been around for a long time, you’ll see vitamin companies, electronics manufacturers and other offline businesses doing it all the time.

From a content point of view though (or in respect of articles etc.) it is content that you can put your name on, and use in anyway you’d like to.

The only restriction is that you cannot sell it (that is what resell rights are).

Let’s go through the top 3 things you can do:

1. Build a site and populate them with the content, monetizing it with adsense and affiliate programs

Simple really, all it means is that you are building a site, and whacking the content up with some adsense and affiliate products, and then start the search engine optimization process (this is a whole other area) and start getting ranked in the search engines.

What I’d do if it were me (and it is since I do this too), is put up 2 separate sites (go to a place like www.domainsbot.com and search for an ‘on topic’ domain name) use a free template from somewhere like www.oswd.org and build my site from that (you can use something like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, XSitePro, or a site builder like www.websitearticlewizard.com or www.hypervre.com).

2. Submit to article directories to build traffic to existing sites

This requires that you rewrite about 75% of the article at least… now you might be saying, “well why the hell would I get articles just to rewrite them???”. Have you ever sat down and tried to write 40 articles? I’ve timed it and it takes at least 4 days (writing about 10 a day and taking about 40 minutes to 1 hour to write each one).

Once I learned about PLR articles, a 75%+ rewrite takes me MAYBE 20 minutes (in reality it is more like 10 minutes once you get good at it)…

It’s really simple, all you need to do, is read the paragraph that you are rewriting, digest it, and then just write it in your own words… expand on it, make some additions, change some stuff, and there you go!

Once you’ve finished your rewrite, go to some of the article submission places, or use software like www.articleannouncer.com, or a service like www.isnare.com and away you go!

3. Turn it into an autoresponder

Now, I’ve had to write this PLR mini-course myself (and could’ve used it as an autoresponder)… but it’s no different than if I had gotten someone to write information for me (like PLR articles) and put them up for you as content.

Articles are just content, that’s it… an autoresponder is a way you can get your people coming back to your sites more and more often, and is a great way to build rapport (so long as you’re actually GIVING something of value).

Top 3 mistakes people make

So if PLR is so easy to use, how do people make mistakes?

Well that’s easy…

1. Join a service that is sub par or is part of a wholesaling network

There are a lot of services out there that offer sub par quality content. It’s written by writers that don’t have English as their first language, or in some cases, give content that is less than third grade level.

It should be obvious you don’t want to join these kinds of PLR memberships.

The other thing is that there have become a few wholesaling PLR networks. What this means is that a membership can offer PLR material that other memberships are offering. They get their articles all from the same source, and the articles are identical!

Why do you stay away from these? Because the service might say “limited to 300 people” but the reality is that there are 10 or 20 other places out there that are offering the same material to the same number of people!

2. Join a service that has too many members or offer backlogs to their articles

This should be quite obvious, but places that are open to 1000 people, just aren’t the place to join (unless you are getting it really cheap! ).

The reason is that the more people that have the content, the more people you are going to be competing with, and the less likely people are going to rewrite their content.

3. Forget about the fundamentals of building sites

Sometimes people get into this building frenzy, which makes them just want to build site after site after site.

The problem with that is that on the internet the phrase “Build it and they will come” just doesn’t apply… this is where you need to remember the fundamentals of building a site.

When you build a site, make sure that you keep the on page SEO factors right, and that you are building the site over time, slowly uploading content, and building links.

Important stuff, but it needs to be remembered.

So, that’s it for today, look out for the next post tomorrow, in it, we’ll be covering how to use PLR articles with blogs.
