Get the most out of your PLR products collecting cyber dust on your hard drive

You Missed a Fantastic Webinar Last Night

Or did you? Were you there amongst the expectant throng?

I was one of about 300 folks lucky enough to be involved in the webinar with John Rhodes and friends. Google this guy and his credentials are impressive ;-0

This webinar was chock full of information about how to get the most out of those old and dusty PLR products languishing on your hard drive and if you are anything like me, there are quite a few.

PLR or Private Label Rights are an easier step onto the internet ladder than many others. Well that was what I believed as I entered this crazy arena of Internet Marketing. Trouble was getting the PLR was easy but I hadn't got a clue what to do with it once I'd downloaded it to my hard drive to nestle quietly and forgotten amongst its brethren to gather cyber dust.

After last night I know different!

The material on a particular subject has been found for you, thus reducing the time spent on research.

Someone has orgnised the information for you already into chapters or articles and such like. they have edited the work and so have saved you a lot of time and money.

Without that specific PLR item, you would of spent time on research, organisation, editing, proof reading, graphics etc all to get a product ready for market. Or you would of outsourced the work and then you can get a whole other set of headaches.

As time equals money, a $2-3 PLR piece is well worth the $time! Assuming your time is worth more than 50c or less an hour!

This information can then be used for loads of different things, from video to list building you name it. I can tell you that this information was extremely useful and has opened my eyes to the true worth of PLR products that I hadn't even realised existed.

I have pages of notes and haven't enjoyed a webinar as much as this one, ever I don't think and I've been on a few. Those guys should go on tour!! My nearest and dearest kept scowling as I kept laughing out loud with my headphones on and I'm afraid to admit I was still listening until the very end, over two and a half hours later! Not for the offers and stuff but because it was better than TV! By the way, there were loads of offers too! These guys really delivered.

I wonder how the wheat grass and tofu went down in the end, especially for a Texan lad? Mind you the break from the meat would do his gut some good! Sorry, I digress...

If this has whetted your appetite to read the sales letter for this type of information, its not even an affiliate link, just the straight forward URL. Thats how much last night impressed me!

Focus, Focus, Focus!!!

Focus!

Stop chasing rainbows and the pot of gold at the end of it!

There is no MAGIC BUTTON (at least not yet)

Until you do this, you will achieve nothing. Sad but true, but chasing your tail achieves nothing.

Chasing after the 'magic button' is a fruitless waste of time, energy and money and the sooner you realise this the better.

I have been listening to Lee McIntyre all morning on his videos as part of the Point and Click Coaching Course

I must admit that he seemed to have been watching what I've been doing over the past few years. So much of it has rung true and given me hope and the drive to write this and get on with things again. Especially after yesterday :-/

This is speaking from experience and as the previous post shows, I still have a tendency to waste my time chasing rainbows if I'm not careful. I have the attention span of a gnat unless I get my teeth into something and then I can get so stuck into the minutiae to the umpth degree.

Think of me as being two forces pulling in opposite directions! Sometimes this works well but for the most part I am at loggerheads with myself.

One side of me has an idea and the other side dismisses it in a flash. I don't need well intentioned folks telling me that I ought to get a proper job. My more negative side tells me this sort of thing all the time, what ever I'm trying to do!

In some ways I think this is a good thing because it has made me more resolute and obstinate. Once my mind is made up, its very difficult to change it.

I have decided that I am going to make it online.

I am working on a product at the moment. I have been jotting stuff down for ages. I just need to focus and get my teeth into it, get it done, get it launched, and see what happens.

At this point I must point out that I have researched the niche and it may be good or it may not. We will see...

That Newbie Excitement

That Newbie excitement took over me today and I have managed to fritter away most of my time with very little to show for it.

The day started off poorly with both myself and my son sleeping in. Neither of us heard the alarm going off. I was finally woken by him running around the bed to climb in next to me.

Horrors, when I looked at the time. We were normally setting off for school and there we were, still in bed! Mad rush followed to get dressed and a quick phone call to school to let them know what was happening. Then Mr Mardy decided he wasn't going to school today.

Anyone out there with any knowledge of kids knows what the morning rush can be like if one part goes a bit off line. Here we go then, so I ignored him and to give him his due, by the time I'd finished in the bathroom, 10 minutes max., he was dressed and nearly ready.

Downstairs to sort out tocyn (a small snack for the afternoon) and a wrap to eat on the way to school. Not the best of ways for him to have breakfast but better than nothing and to be honest I think he enjoyed walking with his breakfast, very grown-up don't you know :-)

Dropped him off at school half an hour late, whoops. He didn't say anything tonight so I assume he didn't get dragged over the coals for a genuine mistake.

I told you I'd worked hard yesterday! Anyway, by the time I'd walked home via the supermarket, it was well into the morning then after breakfast and coffee it was nearly 11.00am.

How to totally muck up your day!! So I decided to get the meal ready for the evening and then I could work up to tea time.

I finally sat down to work at about 12.00. I know they said that you can work what hours you like when you decide to go online, but today took the biscuit for a hectic 3 hours only stint! Didn't use that time well which I'm cross about now. Threw out my whole day and my plans went out the window.

Spent the time going through emails which I had got out of doing. That is such a waste of time and I had been managing to get stuff done so well previously just by ignoring the inbox for a few days and not checking it till last thing in the evening. Anyway I had to set off for school again at 3.10 to walk him home at 3.30 so I didn't settle to do anything of much use.

There you go. A not so typical working day for a not-so-new-newbie fitting trying to get going online around a family and all that that involves.

Wouldn't have it any other way, apart from the sleeping in and the rushing and...

I won't work so late tonight and get a bit more sleep. Then perhaps I will hear the alarm in the morning!

Busy all Day, Learning Some More

Is there no end to the information that you can read and hopefully assimilate?

Today has been productive, I think anyway. I dare say the super efficient amongst you would not agree but I don't think that I've wasted my time at all.

I have read a very good article by Frank Salinas about SEO which is on my must do soonest list, which included suggestions and advice which is just what I needed. Notes still have wet ink!

Checked out the social bookmarking stuff and added some buttons to this blog site, wanted them for ages and didn't know how to get them. Happy bunny ;-) Looks more like the 'big guns' now, I wish...

Anyway, we are on our way. From little acorns and all that, and I've added the Blog Carnival gadget too which was easier than expected especially as everything else I've tried to do regarding banners and stuff has not been the easiest of adventures.

Perhaps the gadget, being for the 'carnival of struggling bumbling newbies' took pity on me and didn't put up too much of a fight, OR of course, I might have hit the right buttons in the right order this time. Wonders will never cease.

Hey may be I'm finally getting some where. It may not seem much to you, but I was impressed!!

To further impress myself and anyone reading this, I also submitted some articles to directories to drive traffic I hope. Well we can only wait and see. More to do tomorrow.

Oh the joys of learning, bring it on!

I've finally worked out how to get some!

;-) I've been wondering how you get these little doo-hickey buttons onto a site and now I have some of my own.

If you want them too, go to http://www.socialmarker.com/

Have fun with them and share...

Search Engine Optimization and Recommendation

Here is the advice on Search Engine Optimization I was on about in an earlier post.

Its on Matt Callen's blog at http://www.mattcallen.com/ and it is well worth the visit. Have a look around and sign up for anything he offers. I find his stuff that good.

Easy to follow and implement. He will be my little helper to optimize my blog pages and my article writing. There may be others too but I will let you know who, as and when I turn to them for help.

I'll let you know how its all going, so check back often.

Talking of articles, I was just at Ezine@rticles and bumped into a bit of tracking information. My articles have been looked at and a few have even been picked up. Don't ask me anymore about them though because I don't know, well at least not yet.

Lets face it, this first sojourn into article writing and blog posting was to banish the fear of the publish button.

I can now say that that fear has been quashed, well and truly!

This next half term, beginning on Monday, will primarily involve SEO and tracking methods underlying my article writing efforts together with continuing Lee McIntyre's Point and Click Coaching

I have the feeling that I am going to be a very busy Numpty for quite a few weeks to come.
