Whoever Says Rewriting Articles is Easy is Not a Writer

Do you think rewriting articles is easy? Come on, face it. If you are a REAL writer, rewriting is a pain in the butt. If you are NOT a real writer, you will say rewriting is easy.

Reason?

Thanks to the advance technology, we have software to help ‘spin’ articles or to create ‘original’ articles without doing much work.

Heard of Jetspinner? This is just ONE example of the many software out there that ‘spin’ articles into ‘different’ articles or so-called ‘original’ articles. The truth is these articles are just about 40-50% original. They are not 100% original articles because Jetspinner only replaces some of the words with synonyms.

Why you should not spin articles for your clients?

1. You will get fired.
2. You will be seen as NOT professional at all.
3. You are risking your reputation.

When you should spin articles?

Never spin articles. Article spinning is for non-writers.

How to rewrite articles the easy way?

There is no easy way. You will have to read the original article to understand the substance. Try to remember the important points. Without referring to the original article, write a new article using whatever points you can remember in your own words.

Once you have done, read the original article once again if you feel as if you have left out something important. Then edit your new article without referring to the original article once again. You are done when you feel satisfied with your work.

Last but not least, remember to run the article through spellchecker and plagiarism checker.

Conclusion

I know it is really hard to avoid the temptation of spinning article. Try your best to stay away from spinning articles, if you want to be a reputable writer.
