Content Creation

Writing your own content is always the best and is recommended, but if you are writing blog posts regularly, you’ll eventually need help with generating ideas for your topic.  I sometimes use Private Label Rights (PLR) to trigger ideas on a given topic.  Once I determine the direction I’m going, often based on the PLR product, my thoughts will begin to flow and generate my own ideas on the subject.  If it’s a topic that I’m not very familiar with, then I depend more on well-written PLR articles and reports to guide me in laying a solid foundation that I can build on.
