- PLR articles are packages of articles that are
pre-written and sold to more than one person.
- Ghostwritten articles are articles that are
written by someone else just for you that you can put your name on
and are not sold to anyone else.
- In both cases, you are allowed to edit the
content as much or as little as you’d like and use the articles on
your website, blog, or in your newsletter.
So, back to the question. Is it ethical? My answer
was, “usually, yes”.
If you’re using the articles and saying “written by me” without
changing anything at all, it may bite you in the butt later, when
someone else does the same thing. Does that make it unethical? Not
really. It’s just not smart. Can you use the article as it is or
edited slightly, without saying it was written by you? Of course!
Most PLR packs are written by ghostwriters. Ghostwriters are
professional researchers and writers. If you purchase well-written,
informative PLR or ghostwritten articles and share them with your
readers, don’t you all benefit? Your readers benefit by getting
great information. You benefit by saving time. Is it any different
than hiring a graphic designer or webmaster? Not in my opinion.
Heck, most politicians don’t write their own speeches. They leave
that to people who are professional speech writers.
Of course, you’d want to only use top-notch articles and not
“sell-out” just to pump out blog posts or web pages quicker. We
recommend you research thoroughly before choosing any ghostwriter or
PLR service.
Here’s what to look for in a PLR service so you don’t waste your
money:
- Make sure the articles are written well.
- Make sure that you know what topics you’ll
receive (instead of some grab-bag of articles).
- Be sure that the people running the program
have some experience in article writing themselves, so they know
what they’re doing.
There’s no point in doing everything on your
own, especially if you dislike writing. All successful business
people outsource the tasks they are not good at or dislike.
Check it out. It might take some pressure off you and allow you
to spend more time with your kids. And, that’s definitely
ethical.
