How To Use Private Label Articles - By: Bernie Wiemers

Private label articles are increasingly becoming more popular as people rush to fill their websites with high quality information. Admittedly, you can have articles written by freelance writers at sites like Rentacoder and Elance, but this strategy can be expensive. In comparison private label articles provide an affordable alternative.

What are Private Label Articles?

Private label articles generally refer to articles that allow people to use them as they wish.

However, there a are a few restrictions:

1. You cannot claim copyright to private label articles.

2. These Articles will generally not be accepted by article directories unless you change the content significantly.

Where can I get private label articles?

There are a lot of private label article membership sites on the internet. The cost to these sites vary, but they typically charge around $24 to $67 a month. For this price you will receive anywhere from 150 to 300 articles per month.

However, do your research as not all private label article sites are equal. There are a few sites that charge a small fee per month and give you a lot of articles. I would steer clear of these sites because you have to ask yourself how they can provide so many articles for such a small price? Usually this tells me that either their articles are not high quality, or they have hundreds of members.

You should also look for a private label article site that looks after it’s members interests. This would be a site that is expanding it’s offerings to it’s members, expanding the amount of articles it provides, or asks it’s members what niches they would like to target.

You should also look for a private label article site that restricts it’s membership. You don’t want to join a site that offers only 250 articles per month but has over 150 members. Because the competition has increased and the advantages of getting unique content is greatly reduced.

How Can I Use Private Label Articles?

The most common use for private label articles is to provide useful and interesting content for websites. But you can put them to other uses, such as:

1. Use them in your newsletter

2. You can group multiple articles together to create an e-book or training manual.

3. Take the Articles and change them to be more relevant to your website and your clients. (Focus on your clients needs and you will find that you will get more repeat visitors.)

4. Take your articles and turn them into an e-course. You could take 52 articles, offer one article each week and all of a sudden you have a years worth of content running on auto pilot.

How Can I Alter Private Label Articles

Submitting articles to article directories along with your resource box is a great way to generate traffic to your site. However, many directories don’t allow you to submit duplicate content. Therefore, before you submit your private label article to an article directory, it’s advisable to alter it

1. Change the title of the article.

If you are optimizing your article with a keyword you should make sure you keep the keyword in the title - but be creative about the words that surround it. So if your article is based on the keyword "Leopard Spotted Goldfish", your title might be "How to take care of Leopard Spotted Goldfish" or "What are Leopard Spotted Goldfish?".

2. Change the opening paragraph.

Make sure that your keyword appears once then take a look at the rest of the paragraph.

Your aim is to make the opening paragraph unique, you can do this by:
- Change the synonyms with your thesaurus
- Alter the tone.
- Change the wording of the paragraph.
- You could make the paragraph more specific to your clients needs.
- You might want to write a completely new introduction.

3. Work through the article and add and remove sentences.

- You could present the facts in a different order or expand the article by adding extra points.
- You could take a long article and break it up into shorter articles, or take two short articles and merge them into a longer article.

Here is a great traffic tip:

Take a long article and break it into 2 short articles. Submit part 1 to the article directories and refer the client to your website to read part 2 by providing a link in your resource box.

4. You can rewrite the ending.

When you do this, think about what you want the reader to do. Is this a good place to put your own affiliate link (make sure you cloak your affiliate link if you submit your article to article directories) or refer the client to your own product or services?

5. Blend Several Articles Into One

You can get a whole new look if you take two or more private label articles on the same theme and merge them into a longer article.

You could also take two different articles from two different niches and merge them. For example, let’s say you had a fishing article and a travel article. You could merge them together, add a bit more content and all of a sudden you could have a fact filled fishing vacation article.

See what you can do? If you are creative you will definitely get your money’s worth out of private label articles.

6. Check how unique your article is.

You can do this by using a free service found at http://www.copyscape.com. It’s simple to use:

- Upload your article to your website.
- Go to the copyscape website.
- Type in the web address of your page and press the submit button.

After all, if your article is not unique, you may as well save your money and use the free articles available in article directories.

If you use the tips I have shared with you in this article you will definitely get your moneys worth from private label articles.

Remember, if you join a private label article site for $24 per month, get 250 articles and only use 50, you are still getting a bargain as the articles only cost you about 10 cents each!
