PLR, or private label rights, articles are articles written by other people that you get to use for your own purposes. They are usually used for blog posts for advertising, but can be included in website content and e-book or information product creation. The use of PLR articles can greatly reduce the time it takes for you to create your content.
As a person who wants to get paid for writing online, you might think it makes no sense to purchase private label rights articles.

Writers and photographers have a new place to search for assignments and to submit their work in hopes of acceptance. Seed.com (http://www.seed.com) is a content website put out be AOL.
I signed up for Seed just to check it out. The process was quick and simple. They didn’t even make me do a writing test. Publishers’ assingments are listed in the member section and you can claim the ones you want to write (or photograph). The payments for articles are quite a bit better than other content sites that I know of, but the requirements for the articles are also much more stringent.
This makes sense, of course! Higher pay for quality work.
Each writing project can be accepted by an infinite number of writers. All submissions for the project in before the submission deadline are then reviewed by the publisher and editors for the site itself, and a decision about which article to accept is made. Only that person makes the money. If your article is not accepted, it appears that it reverts to you and you can do whatever you want with it.
If I had more time, I would give Seed.com a serious try.

How to Write More a Day – Create More Time
An excellent way to do more of anything in an already busy day is to it create more time for yourself to do it in. Of course, you can’t actually make the day longer. If you want to write more a day you will need to give up something else that you do such as playing a game, watching TV, chatting on the phone, or sleeping. Schedule specific times to write, or make a goal to write in 10 minute bursts throughout the day. Read more »
