PLR article & web site editing

Not having any writing skills to brag about and not being at ALL talented with art or graphics skills, I am a huge fan of PLR, or Private Label Rights products. I am also a digital *junkie* so do admit to purchasing every interesting or useful ebook, article pack or instant biz type item I can find.

Luckily, with PLR products, we are allowed to edit them as we see fit. We can change the names, web site info, resell at any price we choose and most importantly, to ME, a proofreader, can fix the often few but sometimes MANY typos and run ons and other annoying mistakes.

I had been searching my last few months worth of downloads, knowing I had purchased a book on copy writing but having forgotten its NAME, having quite a time of finding it! I am usually very organized, but for some reason lately have been remiss in filing all downloads in my handy categories for easy use.

Well, great news, last night I found it! It is a really informational and interesting ebook of an interview with Alex Mandossian, done by Louis Allport, titled 10 Steps To Killer Web Copy.

Over the past twelve years, Alex has made his clients and himself over $184 million in sales. Yes, you read that right!

He’s the marketing consultant many internet experts consult with.

The book is exceptional BUT I have to be honest here, the mini-site salespage was coded to where it was all one LONG line, instead of the usual from top to bottom format, AND half of the words IN the salespage were all run together with no spaces. I am not sure if this was an accident and a proofreader / editor was needed or if it was done to make the reseller “work”, but it took me almost two hours to edit the salespage and get it ready to use.

This is just one of the many services your Virtual Assistant can perform for you. And, if you purchase the above product, I will edit YOUR salespage, except for your name and website info and payment information, for FREE.

Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing,
proofreading and transcription assignments!

Article writer or re-writer Virtual Assistant

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Tallent Agency VA Services
I edit a lot of the articles submitted to my ezine, Rim Digest,
for marketers and small business owners AND proofread
and edit web pages, blog posts and more for my clients.

I am NOT a “writer”, however, and rely on my strengths
with spelling and reading and grammar to help me help
them to show their very best face to the online or offline world.

One of the niches I find to be so helpful in things I want to write or share are PLR
or Private Label Rights articles where you pay a small fee for the use of the articles
and can edit, alter, add to or take away from something a real writer has created.

I have one such collection that I want to offer to my visitors that you can claim as your own and post in your ezines, submit to other ezines, use on your web site, use as eBook material or even offer in pieces in eCourses.

As one of my valued visitors, I’m giving you a one-time-chance
to download over 600 unique niche articles with Private Label Rights.

Professional copywriters can charge up to $250 PER article. I, myself,
have paid over $5 per article when I ran out of ideas for my ezine.

You CAN hire a Virtual Assistant or a copywriter to write or re-write your articles or blog posts for you, OR you can purchase these economical packages and use the content
as your own.

I do warn you, however, you will want to edit them or get someone else to do so for you. Number one, you do not want “duplicate content” where more than one person is using
the same article, word for word, AND there are quite often typos and spelling errors in packages with hundreds or thousands of documents. This said, it is usually very cost
and time efficient to try these out, I have found, if nothing else, a lot of good nudges
toward an idea that ends up helping me actually write something of my very own. :-)

Bonus with the above 600 Articles Package, purchase this product and I will proofread
and edit any one niche from the package for you FOR FREE and any others you might
want done for half my normal rate.

Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing,
proofreading and transcription assignments!

Spellcheck is NOT a Proofreader

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

As one of my visitors so wisely stated, spellcheck is NOT the same as having a proofreader. When I am doing proofreading and editing for my clients, most of the spelling or usage errors I find I am fixing are due to confusing words. I use spellcheck in my word documents and in my email program BUT these just find actual spelling ERRORS and cannot be relied on to help you with the correct USAGE of the confusing words!

I shared some of these confusing words in earlier posts. They are A couple of spelling tips I have got to share and editing tips I want to share #2, but the above mentioned confusingwords.com can help show why you can NOT rely on a spellchecker to ensure your documents are correct.

Spelling & Grammar Errors Are Costing You Business! – For reliable and affordable proofreading & editing, remember …
