Business Name: PLR of the Month Club
Tagline: Content You Can Trust
Here’s D’vorah’s link to Mel’s site.
Mel, what do you want people to know about the products or product line you offer?
We specialize in high-quality, unique ‘low content’ products – planners, journals, & workbooks – with VERY flexible Private Label Rights. Our products are ALWAYS created ‘in-house’, never out-sourced. Whether a printable planner or a digital workbook, we strive for designs that are unique and high quality but still flexible enough to be made YOURS!
Tell us a bit about you – what do you want content creators to know about you?
I have been in e-commerce since 1990 – but on the ‘other’ side as a payment services provider, so while I have been deeply entrenched in the tech side for decades, this side is new! And waaaaaay more fun – after 30 years in Fintech, I was just burned out! I love the creative side of what I am doing now because in the past my work has been more sales & tech-focused, so this is such a nice change for me. And the people! The people I have met in the PLR niche are amazing – it makes working fun again!
What do you love about your products and how can “content creators” benefit from them?
I try to create products that are functional but very appealing from a design standpoint. We were one of the first to create planner designs with “mix and match” capabilities. Each ‘Design Kit” typically comes with multiple backgrounds, covers and title graphics, so you can create your own unique version to sell with very little design experience and you don’t need expensive software like PhotoShop or Illustrator.
The new Digital Planners are a bit more complicated to work with but we are coming up with new and easier ways to get involved in this growing new niche as well!
How did you get started in your business and what do you love about it?
LOL! It was an accident really. I wrote a 65+ page white paper for a payments client, who then asked for some articles….and then they wanted to know who did my website graphics (me!) and the next thing I knew – I had a nice little ‘side hustle’ going! Somewhere along the line, I discovered the ‘low content’ niche, and dove in! I love this vertical because it lets you do so much! It is literally a ‘bottomless’ market – almost any concept you can come up with – there is a market for! And designing for the digital market is a blast because everything looks soooo amazing on the iPad!
Please share a tip for people wanting to create and sell products online.
Don’t overthink it! Seriously, you want to deliver a great product but nothing will ever be absolutely perfect – and no one will love everything you create! Get over it and get it out there!
What do you wish you knew when you first got started in your business?: I wish I had known how much fun this is – I would have jumped in sooner! The PLR space in general, but the ‘Low Content’ niche, namely Planners Printables, is such a warm and friendly community. I have always loved art and business but never thought I would be lucky enough to combine the two and make money at it.
