Yep, again it’s been a while since I posted. I am being kept very busy with writing clients, so I’ve not had the time to work on a new post for this blog. That changed when I heard about autoblogging.

If you look back to one of my earlier posts on writing web content for dollars HERE, you’ll notice I’ve mentioned you can write private label rights (or PLR) articles for payment.

In a nutshell, PLR articles, reports and ebooks are those which you have the legal right to modify and call your own. Rights do vary, so you need to check what rights come with each package. Generally speaking, you can usually use them as blog posts or website articles, or sell the ebooks and reports.

Why not look at it from the other side, and think about using PLR products yourself that others have written. PLR is very useful indeed when you’re building or maintaining an online business. It can save you doing all your own research and writing, and allow you more time to take care of your children’s needs.

Affiliate marketing is, in it’s simplest terms, being paid a commission when you refer a buyer to a website, and they make a purchase from that site. It’s no different to chatting to your friends and mentioning the great pizza you’d had from the shop down the street, except you get paid for the referral when your friends buy a pizza too.

Whatever area of business you’re interested in following, whether online or offline, you need a website. You may think that it’s expensive to have a website built and it’s tricky to maintain, but it needn’t be.

I’m not very good at technical stuff – I struggle to write a line of html – however it’s so easy to create a website like this one, get it looking the way I want it, and then update it on a regular basis. I can build a site, add pictures, put links in the sidebar, and add extra pages, all with very little skills, and in a matter of a couple of hours.
