FTC and New Rules for Affiliate Marketers
December 1, 2009 by Wendy
If you’ve haven’t read all of the posts, Twitter tweets and articles that have been going around on the Internet lately then please let me fill you in on this very important news.
The FTC is changing the way affiliate marketers should be promoting products and these changes go into effect December 1, 2009. If you are promoting anyone’s products then this is really something you should take a look at.
If you review or endorse any products and/or use testimonials, please check out the official FTC statement here:

I’m not a lawyer, although sometimes I wish I was, but here are a few resources that explain things way better than I can:
Lynn Terry has made a few posts on the topic here:

Again, the new rules go into effect December 1, 2009 and ALL affiliates must be in compliance with these new rules. The FTC is very serious and it’s very important that we all abide by these new rules, any affiliate that doesn’t abide by them will unfortunately be terminated from our affiliate program.

How to Use and Rewrite PLR Articles Content

How to Use and Rewrite PLR Articles Content
Every smart marketer knows that they need content, and lots of it. This content shouldn’t just be any old junk content, either. To draw real quality traffic and repeat visitors you need well-written, original content. If that weren’t enough already, for better results your original content should be focused on a particular niche or ‘topic’.
How do you come up with all this great content?
You’ll no doubt want to write a large portion of it yourself. There will come a point, however, that in order to really maximize your profits you’ll need to create more content then you can possibly produce by yourself. That’s the time to look at other sources of content creation and seriously consider PLR articles and ebooks.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights. Using private label rights is a valid way to add value to your websites, newsletters and blogs without having to spend the time writing everything yourself.
Many people purchase plr products and then let it sit on their computer because they’re unsure how to use and rewrite the content for their own use. Don’t let this happen to you!
There are plenty of ways you can use PLR content and re-write it to add your own original spin. Here are just a few ideas:
On Your Website – Post PLR content to your website as is or partly rewrite the content for more originality. You can use an eBook to sell or give away on your website or break it up into content that would be used on multiple pages.
In Your Newsletter – Need content for your ezine or email newsletter? Break an eBook up into an ecourse or use articles to educate your subscribers on your topic.
On Your Blog – Use plr content on your blog and ask readers for their opinions. An eBook broken up into sections would make a great blog post series that you could post over a number of days, weeks or a couple of months.
Whatever you do, don’t let plr content sit on your computer, useless. Now that you know how to use and rewrite plr articles and content there is no excuse for not using it to build relationships, pull more visitors and attract your target market.
