Why would you start from scratch when it's so simple to use PLR.me content?

0:10

Hey, there, it's Richard Butler here,

0:13

director of education at PLR.me.

0:16

One question I hear a lot is how do I change the content?

0:21

So it's not the same as somebody else's content, or sometimes the question is,

0:26

I don't know what to do with your content. Now.

0:30

I love the honesty of that last question.

0:32

And it is something that many people either ask or are afraid to

0:37

ask. So in this video,

0:38

I'm going to show you how to take the content and transform it into something

0:42

unique, using a very simple process. Now, before we get into the video,

0:47

if this is your first time here, well welcome.

0:55

So that you're the first to know about our free training videos. You know,

1:00

sometimes I think articles never really fulfill their full potential.

1:05

I mean, these little guys have so much to give,

1:07

but many people just think of them as a simple blog post or an article,

1:11

and they can be so much more and you'll see how in this and other

1:16

videos,

1:17

let me tell you what I decided to do to show that any article could be used by

1:22

nearly any niche. And in so many ways,

1:24

I decided to look for something a little bit different than what my niche would

1:28

normally use. Oh, what's my niche. Well, it's English language mentoring.

1:33

It's just one of my niches. And I looked into the plr.me resource library.

1:37

I found this article talk 10 motivational affirmations. I mean, this will work,

1:42

grow rate with my personal development coaching clients,

1:45

but could it be possible to actually use this with my English mentoring clients?

1:50

I mean, like they're all executives and managers and not into woo stuff. Well,

1:54

challenge accept it.

1:56

Now let's move over to the computer and I'm gonna show you the process that I

1:59

use. So here we are at the computer.

2:01

And the first thing I do it was I opened up the original document

2:06

from plr.me and you'll see its top 10 motivational affirmations.

2:11

And it is very much a self-help document,

2:14

but I wanted to change this into something that my audience of English

2:19

mentoring students would actually appreciate.

2:22

I would actually help them cuz obviously that's important.

2:24

I wanna make sure that I help them in their journey to speak more confidently.

2:28

Now,

2:29

the first thing I wanted to make sure is that I had a good definition of who my

2:32

market were. You know, I knew that from having taught in this market for many,

2:37

many years,

2:37

that these were people who had reached like a plateau in their English learning

2:42

and they didn't know how to go the next level because well they had certain pain

2:46

points.

2:47

So then I wanted to identify what the pain points were for these students.

2:52

And, and what exactly were they struggling with?

2:54

I then read through the article to get a very good feel for the article to know

2:58

what it was about, to know the language that was being used.

3:02

And one of the things that I, that I realize and as, um,

3:05

somebody who has largely second language is that sometimes we lack confidence

3:09

when we speak because we have this like voice in our head that is so ly telling

3:13

us that we're not going to speak correctly or we're gonna make a mistake or are

3:18

just gonna mess up in general. So reading through the article a second time,

3:22

I looked at the first sentence and I went, boom,

3:26

that's exactly what I need. Let's have a look,

3:29

are your negative internal dialogues,

3:31

keeping you from doing the things that you want to do.

3:34

BA that is just what is happening to a lot of my students.

3:39

They're not feeling confident in moving to the next level of speaking out at

3:43

meetings,

3:44

maybe going to a job interview because they just don't have the confidence.

3:48

So how could this article help them? Well,

3:50

I went over and I started to write up some headings that I thought were

3:54

important. So before I actually started writing,

3:57

I took the original article title. Then I made three headings,

4:01

target market challenges and new article titles.

4:04

So let me show you what I came up with.

4:12

So I filled in the details and my target market,

4:15

Spanish speakers who have a B one to C one level language,

4:18

but struggle with confidence.

4:19

So let means that they're upper intermediate to advanced students.

4:24

And what are the challenges? Well,

4:25

a lack of confidence in speaking native happens to me in Spanish,

4:30

never remembering the right structures are tenses happens to me in Spanish.

4:34

I talk about something that I did in the future.

4:36

And people look at me translating from Spanish to English.

4:39

This is huge issue that when you become fluent in the language and you think in

4:44

the language and you don't translate.

4:46

And I love the challenge that they had was afraid to take a chance.

4:49

So I knew my target market.

4:51

I knew the challenges now I wanted to make this article not sound

4:56

a little bit. Woo, woo <laugh>. I love self development and I love woo stuff,

5:01

but you know, as much as I do that,

5:03

sometimes depending on the market that you're dealing with,

5:06

you have to slightly change the content so that it doesn't sound too. Woo. Woo.

5:11

It seems to be the phrase of the video.

5:13

So the new article titles I came up with,

5:15

these had to be catchy and people in 10 phrases that will change how you speak

5:19

English, 10 simple phrases that will improve your English,

5:22

become more confident in English with these 10 phrases,

5:26

10 phrases to be a more confident English speaker. And I couldn't think of a,

5:31

a fifth one here. So let me get rid of that bullet point.

5:33

So the idea here was it was not 10 affirmations to make you

5:38

a better English speaker. No, no, no. It was 10 phrases are gonna help you.

5:42

So I dunno what these phrases are as a, as a reader,

5:46

but I'm quite intrigued now. I decided I would rewrite the article.

5:50

So I went back to the original article. I have it here, I read it again.

5:55

And then I wrote from the heart I wrote from my experiences.

6:00

So the article looks nothing like the original, but all the ideas are there.

6:04

Okay. Now remember the more you write from the heart,

6:07

the better and PL at me is there to help you just write faster

6:12

and give you the ideas to get you going.

6:15

So this is the article that I wrote and I decided to go with the title 10

6:19

phrases that will change how you speak English.

6:21

That is gonna catch my attention because I'm thinking, well,

6:24

what are these 10 phrases?

6:25

So I wrote out the article and then I added a little bit of bolding. Okay.

6:30

I know the struggles. You don't mind making mistakes, a few bullet of points.

6:34

Um, a few headings here. Okay.

6:37

Now then I started to introduce about positive affirmations.

6:43

And then I said, these are the 10 affirmations that you're gonna use.

6:48

I'm comfortable speaking English. I may not have a native accent,

6:50

but I speak clearly. Let's just go back and look at the affirmations. Well,

6:54

they are completely different. Well,

6:57

this is the beauty of the PLR at me content that I was able to use it,

7:02

to spark my imagination and to get the creative juices flowing.

7:07

So then I thought, well, why not make this a little bit more personal?

7:10

And I'll put a picture in on myself, but I still wasn't happy.

7:13

So I went in and I decided let's make this into two columns.

7:18

So this is really easy to and remember actually,

7:21

well remember now I forgot to tell you, I'm just using Google docs here.

7:24

I'm not using any special, um, programs. I'm not using word.

7:28

I'm not using pages, which of course I could,

7:31

but I'm just using Google docs, which is free. So I went to format,

7:36

I went to columns and I said, put this into two columns.

7:39

So now it looks a lot more interesting. Now it looks like upper article. Can I,

7:44

can I say that?

7:45

And the last thing that I did down here was I put in a call to action.

7:50

Okay. Now that you've read this now that you know how to fill a little bit more

7:55

confident, why not go and test your level.

7:57

This is a lead generation to tool because they must register their name and

8:00

email address. So what was the purpose of the article to educate,

8:05

but also as a lead generation tool, if I'm honest with you,

8:08

the whole process probably took about 45 minutes from reading the article, uh,

8:11

coming up with my ideas,

8:12

writing from the heart and then doing a little bit of formatting.

8:16

But if I had to write this whole article from scratch without the help of PLR.me

8:21

it probably would've taken me days or in fact I probably would never have done it.

8:25

So you see how you can take the article and change it completely now.

8:30

Um, I forgot one very important thing if you're enjoying this video and you've

8:33

watched it to this point, but then I think you should give us a, like,

8:36

you should subscribe to the channel and you should ask any questions you may

8:40

have below that. Uh, I will, of course answer for you. So in the next video,

8:45

I'm gonna show you how I took this article and actually made a video about it.

8:49

Sounds interesting. Right? All right. See, in the next video.
