While this is optional, it is highly recommended. You want Google to see your content as unique, and to remain consistent, your content should be in your voice and tone.

But don’t worry, this is actually very easy to do! I am going to give you some options, both if you are in a hurry, and some more extensive customizations.

Why You Need to Customize Your PLR

Customizing PLR is a way to make it yours, just like you would do if you used any other template. If you purchased a website theme for your blog, you probably went through and changed the colors, fonts, images, and demo content – you need to do the same thing with your PLR.

Benefits of customizing your PLR include:

• You stay true to your brand
• Your tone and voice is consistent across all platforms
• You make it unique and original
• It helps with Google ranking
• You avoid duplicate content

Keep in mind, this doesn’t mean completely rewriting everything, otherwise PLR isn’t really benefiting you all that much. Customizing is making small changes to your content and templates just to make it stand out, to fit with your own brand, and to get content in your own voice. This can be as simple as changing the subheadings on a blog post and using your own images.

Before You Begin Customizing

There are just a few things you want to do before you begin the process of customizing your content and done-for-you templates to fit your brand and business.

Choose Content That Aligns With You – This actually begins when you are still looking for the right PLR to purchase. You want your content and templates to align with you, your vision, and your business. This is why we recommend joining multiple mailing lists and following different PLR stores to see what they offer, so you know when something is released that fits your vision or next project.

Review the Content – When you have purchased the content you want to use, take a little time reviewing everything. Read through every article or lead magnet, look through the bonuses like prompts and affirmations, open up all the templates to see what they include.

This gives you some ideas right away about how you want to use it – including what you will change, and what you will keep as-is. Take down some notes of any ideas you get about customizing it for your business.

Have a Plan For the Content – Finally, think of what exactly you plan to use this content for. This determines what you customize and how you go about editing everything, since preparing a lead magnet to use as a freebie is going to be a different process than if you were using that same content to turn into a blog post.

3 Steps For When You Are in a Hurry

If you want to get the content published as quickly as possible (we get it!), here are the 3 things we recommend doing to customize your content:

1. Rewrite the Title

The first thing you should do for all your PLR content is to rewrite the title. It doesn’t have to be completely different, but make it your own and write it in your own voice. PLR titles are often very simple and straightforward, because we know you have your own style and are most likely going to change it.

If a dozen people are using the same article as a blog post, you want yours to be unique and stand out. At the very least, write your own title.

2. Rewrite the Headings and Subheadings

This is another super fast and easy edit you can make to your content. Go through and just rewrite or rework the headings and subheadings. Again, this doesn’t have to be vastly different, but just put your own spin on it.

Example: For a blog post about self-care with a heading that reads: Benefits of Self-Care, here are a few alternatives:

Why You Should Practice Self-Care
How Self-Care Will Change Your Life
The Impact of Self-Care on Your Life

You might have your own style for subheadings on your blog, such as a specific formatting or making yours shorter or longer, so keep that in mind when writing them.

3. Write Your Own Introduction and Conclusion

The last thing we really recommend on your own content to get it in your own voice and be consistent with the rest of your content is to write your own introduction and conclusion.

The introduction is the first thing Google will see and the first thing your readers notice. It should sound like YOU immediately, so at least get the first few sentences of the introduction in your own voice.

With the conclusion, it often includes your call-to-action, so of course you want to customize that for your own needs as well.

Rephrase Key Sections in Your Own Voice

If you want to go beyond the basics with customizing, the next thing to focus on is some key sections within your content and rewriting it in your own voice. Sometimes, this is really just switching out some words that you would personally never use.

For example, if you purchased an article pack by me, and I used the word “cultivate” but that is not something you would typically say, but instead would say “foster”, that is such an easy switch.

To simplify it, here are some easy places to look at for rephrasing things:

• Bulleted and numbered lists
• The first sentences of paragraphs
• The introduction of different sections
• Specific examples (use your own)

Add Personal Details

Try to add your own personal details whenever you can! This makes it to where your audience can instantly identify this content or template with you and your business, especially if you are a blogger, coach, or influencer and your own identity is part of your brand.

This could be adding your own images instead of the stock images the PLR provider used, adding your website URL or the name of your business, or using examples from your personal life within the content.

Add Your Own Images and Graphics

Adding your own images allows you to customize PLR without having to rewrite anything. If you don’t have time to go through and rephrase the content any more than the subheadings and maybe a bullet list or two, just add some of your own personal images or graphics you like, and that will work great.

Format to Fit Your Style

Another super easy way to customize your PLR to fit your brand is simply to reformat the content to your own style. This of course includes colors and fonts when it is relevant, but that also means something like how a list is formatted.

If you always use numbered lists with a period at the end, but the PLR provided used a bulleted list with no punctuation, this will take you less than a minute to change and it instantly becomes more recognizable to your audience as your content.

Trust me, your audience is smart. They pay attention and they notice patterns. They will know if you suddenly do something different than how you used to. This is why remaining consistent is so important, and these tiny changes will add a lot more value to content you publish.

Review and Reread

Something I do with ALL my content, from what I write for PLR to my own blogs and emails, is read everything again from start to finish. This helps you pick up on a lot of nuances, phrases you want to change, or words you simply would never use. It is one of the best tools when you are reworking content to fit your business.

Customizing PLR Templates

Are you working on customizing done-for-you templates, such as planners, printables, journals, or card decks? This is actually a little easier and faster to do! All you really need to change are basic things to fit your design and brand, such as switching out the logo and images, changing them to your desired colors, and possibly changing the fonts.

There will be some printables where you just want to use different wording for each section, or possibly move some things around.

But that also means you will stock up on products a LOT faster than you ever thought possible, and suddenly you are completely overwhelmed with files and folders, and no idea what you have, what you were going to use it for, and where that one eBook you bought for that one specific project is.

I wanted to give you some helpful tips that will help you organize the PLR you already have, and then create a system for organizing new PLR every time you get it.

Why You Need to Keep Your PLR Organized

When you first start using PLR, you might have a couple freebies, a course, maybe a few packs of articles. It is easily stored in your Documents or Blog folder, and you don’t have to worry too much about it. But before too long, you have amassed this gigantic collection of PLR products, and no idea how to manage it.

This honestly happens a lot faster than you think, and suddenly you have a huge, messy, annoying problem on your hands. Here are some benefits of keeping your PLR organized:

It Becomes More Accessible – When your PLR files and folders are properly organized on your computer, you will very quickly be able to access everything you need. Whether you choose to organize by the type of product, the topic, or the project (more on that below), you will know exactly where to look to find what you need.

You Will Be More Efficient – Imagine how much more smoothly and efficiently your product creation would be when you can just go directly to a folder and know just what you are looking for? PLR is meant to help save you time and reduce your stress, not add to it. Make it easier on yourself by organizing everything!

Projects Get Done Faster – You will also notice that all of your product creation and various projects get done a lot quicker when your PLR is organized. Keep in mind it is not just prewritten content you are buying – you likely also have dozens and dozens of PDF’s and file folders with templates and graphics and images; you need organization to find this quickly as well.

You Can Avoid Duplicate Purchases – Duplicate purchases are actually pretty common when it comes to PLR. Your favorite store has a sale or a bundle of products, you buy it assuming you don’t have it, then later find out you bought something you already have. The best thing you can do is keep everything organized (and ideally in a spreadsheet) so that before you buy anything, you can quickly check if you have that product already.

Rename the Download Files

The very first thing I recommend doing is renaming your download files. Every PLR provider names their files with a slightly different format, so not only do you want to keep everything cohesive, but you need to know right away what is in that file.

Add details to the file name that you believe would be relevant to you, especially considering how you plan to organize your files. This might include:

• A more descriptive title
• The type of product
• The date you bought it
• Who you bought it from

Go through and rename all your PLR files until they all make sense and without even opening up the file folder, you know exactly what it is.

Choose Your Organization System

Once all of your PLR product files (even just the ZIP files) have been renamed, it is time to choose your organization system. This will be specific and personalized to you, based on what makes the most logical sense to you and what your needs are in your business.

There are a few different ways to organize your PLR products, such as:

By Niche or Topic – If you buy a lot of PLR products for many different niches or topics, then this is going to work great. Simply create folders for each niche, like “Self-Help”, “Health”, and “Business”, and it will be easier to find what you need.

By the Type of Content – Another way to organize your PLR products is by the type of content, such as articles and blog posts, reports, eBooks, auto responders, templates and printables, etc. The next time you are working on a new opt-in and want to include a lead magnet you purchased, you can go to your lead magnet/reports folder and find the one you need.

By the Provider – You might want to organize PLR by the provider if you always buy certain types of products from specific providers. For example, if you buy all your written content by me, but you like to get your graphics or courses from another provider, then you will be able to organize folders like this and know that if you need new blog post content, to check the folder of the provider you buy content from.

By the Project – If you are ahead of the game and already know what projects your PLR products are being used for, amazing! The best option for you is organizing your files and folders based on the project. Create a new folder for each project, and add all the PLR files that will be used for that specific project.

Have a Folder For New Content

Make this process easier on yourself by having a folder designated to any new PLR you buy. The fact is, as meticulous as you are and as much as you want to keep things organized, it is not always easy to do it immediately after purchasing something new. But, it is easy to just move that new PLR file to a folder you have designated for new content.

Keep this folder somewhere extremely easy to access, such as a sub-folder in your Downloads area. Then, the next chance you have to organize files, just move those to the necessary PLR folders. This is much easier than having to do it immediately, or trying to wade through all your various files, images, and folders in your Downloads folder (or wherever your downloaded files go).

Set Up Project Folders

I highly recommend creating project folders and adding your PLR content there when you have decided what it will be used for. Every time you brainstorm a new project idea or are working on product creation, go through your organized PLR files and folders, and find ones that would work great for this project. Move them there!

Not only does this make it easier to see what a project will include and help you find what you need faster, but it also prevents you from using the same PLR content for multiple projects.

Use Spreadsheets to Track Your PLR

Spreadsheets are your best friend! They take a little time setting up, but remember they don’t have to look pretty or be overly detailed. If you are the only one using them, they just need to make sense to you.

Trust me, my spreadsheets are like bare bones, but I know exactly where to find everything, so they work perfectly for me.

At the very least, have a spreadsheet that lists all your PLR products you have purchased or downloaded for free, with basic details like:

• Title or Topic
• Type of Product
• Date Purchased
• Provider
• Project (that you intend to use it for)

Beyond that, you can also create a spreadsheet that actually lists all your PLR folders on your computer, and where each product is located if you need another way to find things quickly.

I have a thing for master lists and master folders. This is a habit I started when I began using a lot of images in my PLR products (for eCovers, graphics, etc.) and while I had them organized by type of image or project, I sometimes just wanted to see ALL of them in one folder so I knew what I was working with.

For your PLR, you can also have a master folder with a copy of all your PLR files in one folder. These would be duplicated of the other files, so you have each PLR file in 2 places on your computer. You can include sub-folders if you want, or just leave everything in one folder.

I do recommend that once you use a product, you move it from the Master Folder to a “Completed” or “Used” folder, so you know that one has been utilized in one of your projects already.
