Receive financial tips, side hustle ideas, money-saving tips, and more.
One thing that I like about passive income is that for instance, you can feel tired and go for a 2-hour nap – only for you to wake up and see $20 in your bank account.
What!? You made money while sleeping?
That’s the amazing thing about passive income.
And to some of us, we barely know about passive income. I feel like I’m talking about my 5 years ago self, I knew nothing about making money, seriously!
Maybe you’re just like my 5 years ago self and wondering what you can do to start earning passively. Then this article is undoubtedly for you.
Because one way to make passive income is by selling PLR products. But it can be extremely frustrating trying to sell because it is what it is – people are cautious with spending, thus, to get them to make a move for your product you have to promote it right!
This article shows you how to promote your PLR eBook the right way to make decent money!
If you know nothing about PLR products and where to get them, you would want to check out this article before reading this one.
The Role Of Personal Branding In Success.
Although this has nothing to do with how to promote PLR products, it’s still very crucial, therefore listen.
Branding cannot be taken out when talking about long-term success. I guess you don’t want to sell some 5 to 10 plr eBooks and then get back to your job, right?
If you’re promoting your products, still have an end goal of building your personal brand along. I can’t emphasize this enough!
Seriously!
Do you remember this quote from Jay-Z when he said, “ I’m not a businessman, I’m a Business, Man”? Throwing more light on the importance of personal branding.
Again I think Vaynermedia is doing good and has attracted several brands like Pepsi, Toyota, Under Armour, etc, because its founder, Gary Vaynerchuk has put in much effort to building his personal brand over the years.
It will surprise you that people would buy your eBook not because they need information, but because “you” wrote it. How then can you start promoting yourself right from now?
How To Brand Yourself From Scratch.
Here are a few steps I found helpful to promote yourself(personal branding).
1. Search for the lucky chance.
Opportunities are everywhere, you have to listen, therefore. That’s why you have two ears and two eyes. They aren’t for decoration, they are there for you to discover opportunities around you.
As the world’s population continues to grow, so do the world’s problems. Listen to what people around you wished they had but cannot get it and find ways to help them achieve that.
2. Find out your target audience.
That’s, the group of people you want to help. Let’s say you want to help single mothers who are in their 20s or you want to help introverts who want to become public speakers.
Don’t tell me you want to help everybody! If you want to reach everybody, you’ll end up reaching nobody. “It’s better to be a meaningful specific than a wandering generality.” by Zig Ziglar.
After this, spend enough time with them. It can be physical or virtually on forums and social media groups. This will ensure that you get to know their problems very well and what they truly want so that you can help them.
3. Find a way to convey your message.
Find out how to get the attention of these people for them to even want to listen to you in the first place. That doesn’t mean you have to be an expert in the field.
Moreover, the reality is that experts most often find it difficult to give basic help or knowledge to their audience. C.S. Lewis called it “ the curse of knowledge”. When you’re at the top, it’s easy to forget how it was at the beginning. So don’t feel pressured to appear as an expert.
Nonetheless, you have to give these people a brief story about you that connects with them.
4. Bring out the uniqueness in you.
Let’s be real here. There’s no path on this earth that you’ll be the only person on that specific path, out of the 7.9 billion people.
So you can’t run from the competition. But it’s only authenticity that can save you from being suffocated by the competition.
Find out the unique style you can use to serve your audience and make your values clear in whatever you do. Let’s now get to the main topic.
How To Promote Your PLR eBook.
People can put in the effort to prepare a great eBook or product which the world would thank them for but the weirdest thing is, when it’s time for them to promote for people to see, they become reluctant.
They expect people to discover the product and make purchases on their own. It doesn’t happen that way!
Below are how to promote your PLR eBook and make a good passive income.
1. Get Interactive On Online Forums.
There are many discussion forums on the internet where you can find your target audience to interact with.
The two top best forums are; Reddit and Quora. People go to these platforms to seek answers to their questions. These buzzing online communities are where most entrepreneurs go to find and share.
This would be a great opportunity to put in the work to find the right answers to their questions.
Continue this for some time in the specific niche your eBook is about to get noticed by people.
Once people realize that you have been giving good answers to their questions, they would see you as someone who knows much about the topic.
That would be the perfect time to introduce your eBook to them.
Since you have gotten some kind of authority in the niche, they would make a move for the eBook.
It took me less than 5 minutes to find a group for single mothers on Reddit, which I would have joined right away if I had a PLR eBook to help single mothers.
This strategy is very effective and looking at the traffic Reddit and Quora get (2.14 billion monthly visitors combined, according to Similarweb), success is assured if you continue to interact on these platforms.
Here are other great internet forums to join;
2. Create Your Own Website.
If you already have a blog, this would be an interesting place to showcase your PLR eBook to your blog readers and visitors.
If you don’t have a blog then this is the time to consider starting one, because in the long run, it’ll prove to be a great decision you took.
Starting your website won’t only give you sales in the future but help you establish credibility and authority in your market.
Moreover, it also gives you less competition than selling on Amazon Kindle, Gumroad, etc.
Simply because there are tons of eBook sellers on these platforms for you stand out. Again, visitors on your website get to see your eBooks only, there wouldn’t be options from other sellers for them to compare prices or quality.
You don’t want to start this blog because you think maybe, it’s difficult to start. Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a programmer or a website designer before you can create your website.
I recommend Bluehost for you because that’s the host of Dollars & Freedom. Bluehost makes website creation easy and affordable.
3. Create a Youtube Channel.
People have tremendously embraced video. Do you know that 96% of consumers have increase their video consumption in 2021?
The average person is predicted to spend 100 minute per day watching videos online!
Moreover, 9 out of 10 viewers said that they always want to watch videos from brands and businesses.
This is now clear that deciding to promote your PLR eBook on Youtube would be very advantageous.
If you don’t have a fancy camera or you’re shy to be on camera, no problem. There are many faceless youtube channels out there. One of my favorite faceless channels on Youtube is Hook.
Use Lumen5 and Speechelo. All you have to do is copy the short article you have written and paste it, Lumen5 converts it to video in less than 10 seconds.
I demonstrated this with the intro of this article and Lumen5 converted in less than 10 seconds!

In the long run you can make money from the views you get from Youtube, as well as when a viewer clicks on your link to go buy your eBook from this promotion strategy.
4. Promote on Social Media.
Facebook is more effective here. What you must do is to create a Facebook group or a page or better still, you can join groups others have created in your niche or market.
On a consistent basis, post helpful content to build authority and trust with the group members.
This is very crucial.
Don’t start right away posting links to make sales – members will see you as a scam doing this. You may be kicked out of the groups by Admins as a results.
Money goes to where there is value, therefore if your able to provide value through your posts in these groups, people will notice and will take action when you recommend something.
Final Words
It’s always easier said than done. These four ways that have been outlined literally works. But as an entrepreneur and a person who desires to achieve financial freedom through passive income, you must be willing to stay in the game for the long term.
The most difficult thing to do is to repeat something over and over again without seeing results. But stay focused and be tenacious.
