PLR and DFY Content Can Be the Secret to Blossom Your Business
Finding shortcuts for your business is crucial when you wear all the hats. Here's how to make quick work of product creation.
Starting your business is only the first step towards success. Without something to offer your audience, there’s not much to make them return.
Product creation can be exhausting and take up a ton of time, leaving your to-do list looking untouched and you feeling unaccomplished. The secret to having a successful business is learning shortcuts.
There are several ways you can speed up product creation so you can have a broad inventory of offers for your customers to browse. A well-stocked store should have items of varying price levels, starting with low-ticket items suitable for all budgets and ending with big-ticket offers like 1:1 offers and monthly business memberships.
My brand is all about being cheap frugal, so even my big-ticket items don’t cost a fortune. I offer $9 monthly subscriptions, one free 15-minute business consultation (or a free website or brand review), and budget-friendly monthly business management memberships.

Understanding Licensing Terms
When building a business, leveraging pre-made content and products can save time and effort. However, understanding the different licensing types is crucial to using them legally and effectively. Here’s a breakdown of common license types:
1. PLR (Private Label Rights)
Allows you to edit, rebrand, and claim ownership of the content as your own.
Great for blog posts, eBooks, planners, courses, and templates.
Can be resold, modified, or repackaged into new products.
2. DFY (Done-for-You)
Pre-made products designed for easy use with little to no customization.
Typically used for marketing materials, social media content, websites, and digital planners.
Some DFY content has resale restrictions, so always check the terms.
3. MRR (Master Resell Rights)
Allows you to resell the product AND grant resale rights to your customers.
You cannot typically modify the product but can sell it multiple times.
Ideal for passive income streams with minimal effort.
4. Commercial Use Licensed Products
These products can be used in a business setting but usually have restrictions.
May include graphics, stock photos, fonts, templates, and digital assets.
Cannot always be resold; intended for business branding and marketing.
How These Products Help Build a Business
Utilizing licensed products strategically can boost productivity and revenue in several ways:
1. Content Creation & Blogging
PLR articles and eBooks can be rewritten and published on your blog.
DFY graphics and templates make social media posting effortless.
2. Product Creation
Modify PLR eBooks into online courses, lead magnets, or printables.
Sell MRR digital products like software, courses, or templates for passive income.
3. Marketing & Branding
Use commercial-use graphics and templates for professional branding.
DFY email sequences and social media posts streamline promotions.
4. Membership & Subscription Services
Curate PLR content for a paid membership site.
Offer DFY templates as part of a monthly subscription.
5. Printables & Digital Downloads
Modify PLR planners, journals, and workbooks to sell on Etsy or your website.
Use commercial-use fonts and graphics for unique digital designs.
Best Practices for Using Licensed Products
Read the License Terms – Ensure you understand what is allowed and restricted.
Edit & Customize – Modify PLR content to make it unique and avoid duplicate content penalties.
Add Value – Enhance DFY templates with personal touches or additional content.
Brand It – Always incorporate your brand identity into licensed content.
Use Strategically – Combine multiple resources to create unique, high-value products.
