How to Quickly Customize Your Brandable PLR Content [Checklist]

Read through the content at a high level so you know what's covered and how.

If you have a Blaze or Beacon package, you can use the provided Summary Cheat Sheet for an overview of the course content, which makes it much faster to see key points and where you might want to make changes. Many of our Flash and lead magnet packages have a cheat sheet too, so this doesn't just apply to full courses.

Highlight what you want to edit, remove, or add to the main course. Don't forget the Action Steps at the end of modules too, since you might want to edit those.

Note: You don't have to change anything! This is your course to sell, so make edits as you see fit but not because you are obligated to. 

I also recommend highlighting where you want to add images, and where you have examples, stories, resources, or even existing content you can use to make it personal to you. To identify where you want to add examples, use the search feature in your word processing software to look for the words ‘example', ‘e.g.', ‘for example', or ‘for instance'.

Even where there aren't examples already, consider adding some.  For instance, worksheets and templates can benefit enormously from your own filled-in examples.

Decide on a new title that fits with your branding, the context you'll use it in, and any changes you're planning to make.

For example, if you're planning on repurposing our Blogging Mastery PLR course to be targeted to authors, you might change the name to ‘Blogging Mastery for Authors' (or something a little snazzier). Or if you're using a course on “time management” and you're targeting realtors, you could call it ‘Time Management Tactics for Stressed-Out Realtors.'

While you're working on any edits to the main content, you can outsource the creation of a branded eCover or other graphics for your new content at a place like Upwork or fiverr.com.

Make your content edits, changes, additions, etc. to all your content. It's easiest to start with your Cheat Sheet, then the Course Book, and then the Action Guide. Make corresponding edits to your slideshow last.

Be sure to put your new title in the headers and title pages, and your company name and URL in the footers.

Short on time? At the minimum, change the title, headers, and footers (to include title, company name, and URL), and add your own ‘Terms of Use' page that explains the documents are for personal use only. You'll probably want to add a bio or company page as well. And don't forget to add a Call to Action to any content that you're using as a lead magnet!

Now it's time to add your branding to all your content – colors, logo, fonts, theme, style sets, URL, etc.

Once everything is edited and branded, you can break up content into any separate files, depending on how you want to deliver it to your audience.

For example, if you're delivering an online course in separate modules, break up your documents and slides accordingly. Then, once converted to PDF and video, you can upload the relevant instructions, cheat sheets, and videos to their sections in an online course or membership platform.

However, it's important to do your edits and branding first, so that you're working with as few documents as possible when you're making changes.

Save anything you plan to sell or share with customers/members into a PDF format so that your users cannot edit your content. If they have editing ability, it violates your license terms.
