Using PLR Products in Affiliate Programs
Have affiliates promoting your products? Here's how PLR licensing works when you run an affiliate program.
The Core Question
Can my affiliates sell products that include PLR content from Entrepedia?
Short answer: Yes, but with important conditions.
What's Allowed
✅ Affiliates CAN:
- Promote and sell access to YOUR branded program
- Earn commissions on sales they generate
- Share links to your sales pages
- Market your courses/memberships containing the content
❌ Affiliates CANNOT:
- Download the PLR content themselves (unless they have their own license)
- Receive the raw/editable files
- Redistribute the content outside your program
- Resell the products as their own
The Key Distinction
You hold the PLR license. Your affiliates do not automatically inherit PLR rights.
They can promote YOUR branded product. They cannot use the underlying content as PLR themselves.
Example Scenarios
✅ Allowed: Affiliate for Your Course
Setup:
- You create a membership with rebranded Entrepedia content
- You set up an affiliate program
- Affiliates earn commission for referring customers
Why it's fine:
- Customers access content through YOUR protected system
- Affiliates don't receive the actual files
- Content remains within your brand
✅ Allowed: Commission on Your Ebook Sales
Setup:
- You rebrand and sell an ebook
- Affiliates promote the sales page
- They earn commission on each sale
Why it's fine:
- You did the rebranding
- Customers buy from YOU
- Affiliates just drive traffic
❌ NOT Allowed: Giving Affiliates the Files
Setup:
- You download products
- You share files with affiliates to sell themselves
- They rebrand and sell under their own names
Why it's problematic:
- Affiliates don't have PLR licenses
- You can't transfer your license rights
- This violates the terms
❌ NOT Allowed: Affiliate Bonus of Raw PLR
Setup:
- You sell a program
- As an affiliate bonus, you give affiliates raw PLR files
- They use them however they want
Why it's problematic:
- You can't pass on PLR rights
- Even as a "bonus," it's redistribution of PLR
Protecting Yourself
Set Clear Affiliate Terms
Your affiliate agreement should state:
- Affiliates promote YOUR product only
- They don't receive redistribution rights
- They cannot claim ownership of content
- Violations result in removal from program
Deliver Content Securely
- Use a membership platform with login
- Don't email raw files
- Protect downloads behind purchase verification
- Use drip content if appropriate
What Affiliates Receive
Give them:
- Promotional copy/swipes
- Banner images
- Social media assets
- Affiliate links
- Sales page access
Don't give them:
- Raw product files
- Editable documents
- Video/audio files for their use
- Content they could redistribute
If Affiliates Want PLR Rights
Option 1: They purchase their own Entrepedia membership
Option 2: You create original content for affiliate bonuses
Option 3: You recommend they join the Entrepedia affiliate program (30% commission)
The Entrepedia Affiliate Alternative
Instead of trying to share PLR with your affiliates, recommend they:
- Join Entrepedia directly — They get their own license
- Become Entrepedia affiliates — They earn 30% referring others
- Build their own brand — Using their own membership
This keeps everyone compliant and creates legitimate income opportunities.
