Private Label Rights Articles (PLR) are a fantastic way to add new content to your website or blog and fill up your newsletter. There are a few simple ‘rules’ though for successfully using PLR content.

1. Don’t use PLR content exactly the way you received it! Chop it up into different blog posts or even combine it with your own writings. Just don’t copy and past it right out of the box.
2. Create an ongoing email series and establish a relationship with your visitors. Use your daily (or weekly) mailings to supply a few new tips or ideas, provide reading suggestions by as well as affiliate links to e-books or print books, or perhaps promote someone else’s e-book for a commission!
3. Feed your blog! Use some of that private label content to stir your creativity! Take sections of PLR content and add your own comments, or rewrite sections of the PLR content in your own words so you end up with unique material.
4. Create a free report to provide to your customers, visitors and subscribers. Take a PLR report (or use ten PLR articles on one topic) and mix them into a seamless report. Insert some affiliate links or links to your own products and give it away. Put a link to the free product in your signature on discussion forums, and mention it in your bio box if you submit articles to directories. Let it work as a handy promotional tool for your website.
5. Re-write it in your own words. This obviously takes a lot of time and energy but it will actually be your own unique work if you’ve got the time.

Some PLR websites that I recommend (yes – I use them & yes – these are affiliate links)

• EasyPLR 
• All Private Label Content 
• Mom PLR eBooks

However you use PLR it’s sure to make blogging a little easier for you. It’s a time saver – don’t we all love time savers?

How do YOU use PLR content? If you don’t use it – why not?

A couple friends and I went this past Friday to see the new vampire flick “Daybreakers” with Ethan Hawke. If you are a fan of ‘real’ vamps and not the Cullen-type vamps this movie is definitely for you!

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind.

I’ve been really jumpy lately – so I got started and shrieked like a little girl a few times.

I really thought it was neat how the city was structured around the fact that the majority of the population are vampires. The underground walkway, the black out windows and the “day light driving” cars that are completely enclosed and give the driver a view via cameras attached to the outside of the car. Keep your eye out for a SWEET vintage Trans-Am suitable for “daylight driving.”

One repeat in this story was there is a vampire (Ethan Hawke) who doesn’t want to feed on humans. Viewers learn that if a vampire doesn’t feed on human blood – after awhile they will morph into a snarly, nasty critter that will attack anyone and anything in order to survive. The “sub-siders” as they are called even feed off themselves if needed.

The awfully sad part of the movie was when the sub-siders are ordered to be put to death due to ever increasing attacks from them on the “normal” vampires. This is a pretty pivotal part of the movie though.

The climax of the movie includes a HUGE feeding frenzy which is incredibly gross but sorta awesome too. The gore in the movie is more of the outlandish “comic book” type and less like the “realistic” gore as seen in movies like the remakes of “Dawn of the Dead” or “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” – both of which screwed with my head for years afterwards.

The Cast:

• Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton
• Willem Dafoe as Lionel “Elvis” Cormac
• Claudia Karvan as Audrey Bennett
• Sam Neill as Charles Bromley
• Michael Dorman as Frankie Dalton
• Isabel Lucas as Alison Bromley
• Vince Colosimo as Christopher Caruso

In its opening weekend in the United States, Daybreakers opened at #4 behind Avatar, Sherlock Holmes and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel with $15,146,692 totaling $26,544,952. In its second week it dropped to #11 making another 5,185,554 dollars. In its third week it dropped to #14, making another $1,600,000. [from Wikipedia].

My friends and I (three girls including me and a boy) liked the movie a lot. Go see it if you like good vampy horror films!

Does your child instinctively want to draw, color, or doodle on everything? Instead of investing in cleaners to fix up the “Oh, no” moments, you may want to be proactive. Create large areas where your kids can explore new tools and express themselves. One easy way to do this is with IdeaPaint. This paint allows you to protect walls, desktops, etc. with a dry erase board finish, while giving the kids (and adults) a safe place to doodle or write notes.

Whether you need to protect your walls and furniture from obsessive doodlers or want to create a family communication board, you might want to give IdeaPaint a try. You don’t have to buy the paint to try it out, you can request a free sample swatch here. Just scroll to the bottom to submit your request.

Moms are the ultimate managers. They often manage everyone and everything in their homes, from planning the kids’ lunches to keeping track of the family’s money. It’s not always easy to keep things running smoothly. That’s why many moms need a little help now and then. If you find that you need something to help you organize, you may want to download these printables.

I personally LOVE the budget one! It is actually an Excel spreadsheet (.xls format) and it breaks down items that you would normally budget for so you just have to pop in your usual amounts spent (or saved). Just enter your planned and actual expenses and it will automatically calculate how well you’re doing. It makes budgeting a real snap since I am completely budget-stupid.

There is also an awesome printable calendar page specifically for busy moms. Unlike most planners, this design leaves just as much room for your weekend as the rest of the week. See all of your appointments, reminders and entire To Do list, all on one page. Fits any standard 8½ x 11″ binder. This is definitely on my To-Print list!

What are you using to stay organized?
