PLR versus MRR

By Wendy Wood

Internet marketers are always on the lookout for quick ways to pass on information to their niche market. After all, the internet is a marketplace for information. A great way to do this can be to purchase PLR (private label rights) or MRR (master resale rights). Firstly, however, it's important to know the difference between these two types of licensed content so you can decide which is best for you.

You need to make that choice, and make it based on what you're going to need your content for. If you wish to sell a product, then chances are you'll wish to get the master resell rights, as they will be adequate for your purposes.

MRR though, will normally not give you the option to alter the content. If you wish to make changes that personalize the content to your business or even add your own links, then you would definitely want to go with PLR content.

The main difference in how PLR and MRR files are delivered is that PLR gives you .doc files that you can edit, alter and paste links into. For example, a PLR eBook can be broken up into articles and, alternatively, PLR articles can be combined to produce an eBook. Individual articles can be used as chapters or sections.

Master Resell Rights content sometimes allows you to put your own name on it as author but beyond that is restrictive. The price you can sell the eBook for is limited by the license which specifies the lowest and highest prices you can charge for the product.

As far as making the choice between PLR and MRR, you need to evaluate what you are going to use it for. If your plan is to hand out an eBook for purposes of viral marketing, then you should really go with PLR because MRR doesn't really allow for that sort of thing.

However, if the Master Resell Rights license allows you to use the content as a free bonus, a high quality re-branded MRR product is an easy, low-cost way to market your online business.

Nevertheless, if you want the most choice in how you can use your content, go with PLR. Another good reason to choose PLR is that it is usually cheaper than MRR. Private Label Rights products offer a quick and easy way to get content for eBooks, articles, websites etc. Even though another person did the work, you get to say it's yours and use it as you will. That's a pretty great deal!
