What to do if you can't write your own articles?

19 replies
Is it possible to have success as an internet marketer if you are not able to write your own unique articles and cannot afford pay someone write them for you (at this moment)?
Could you make successful sites only with duplicate, rewritten content?

My reason for not writing articles is not only I don't have writing talent, but also English is not my first language, and my posts could sound non-professional.

    Have you considered writing an article in your native language and then get it translated to English using a software (usually a one time investment).

    You may then edit the translated article if necessary as no software is perfect.

      That's a really good idea! But how would they know if it's properly translated, if their english is not that good?

      But then again, Microsoft word could do just that, right? Since it edits both grammatical and spelling errors.

    If you don´t have money, you can re-write PLR articles and then post them on your blog.

    Apart from writing in your native language then translating, have you considered simply writing in your native language? There are people all over the world who'd be interested in making money online. I'm sure other niches are also doable in your native language as well. I have no idea whether there is a popular article page in your native language, but blogs and regular websites in your native language might work. If I was fluent in another language I'd be VERY interested in taking the IM niche, for example, and working it hard in another language. It's pretty saturated in English but maybe it's not in your native language? Work with what you know. The English side of the internet is full of people trying to make money already, is it the same case in your language? I bet there are opportunities. (Unless it's a tiny tiny market like Icelandic or something haha)

      IM niche is also saturated in my country.

    Yes, you can get traffic/ranking from duplicate content, just be smart about it (pad it with other content).

    You can also utilize public domain works to help you with article writing. Locate a public domain work related to your niche and read over that work to see if there is anything that you can use. When you do come across something that you may be interested in re-using simply add a few modifications(or not) to the original work and re-publish it.

    I guess you have got your answer from other respondents !!! Though I like to ad that as you need good article writer you must search good website where freelancer article writer can get for your work. There are many free lance site in the internet from where you can get your perfect job.

    There are some things that you need to know about the article writer if you get one.

    1. Make sure the writer is good. See samples and get references.
    2. I would stick to American writers. You will pay more, but in the long run you will have better work. Mainly because you want proper english.
    3. Dont accept any work that has bad grammar or mis spelled words. Give it back and have them correct. Get your money's worth. Make sure this is known before you hire your writer.

    That is what I would do, but I write my own articles. It a little slower because Im not as fast as some, but its alot cheaper.

    There are a lot of alternatives to writing your own articles. You could use PLR articles and then buy an article spinner. Alternatively, you could use software like Mass Article Control or Instant Article Wizard. These tools are pretty easy to use and create good articles that can be versioned and distributed.

    The last option is to contract with someone via eLance or Get A Freelancer to write articles for you. Be very specific in terms of what you want and by when and agree upon a fixed price. I've used eLance for this purpose in the past and had success.

    Good Luck!

    Hi Warriors,

    I've read somewhere that out of the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.

    Applying that to writing, it will go like this, out of the fullness of the heart, the hand writes..

    The problem is not really that you can't write, in my honest opinion, the problem is that you don't know what to write about. If you really know a certain topic writing will be second nature for you.

    Based on your post, you can write in English..So I'm assuming that you can write but just don't know what to write about, and that problem can be solved by reading..

    All Success!

    Omar

    I think that this would be real hard because to get started in the internet marketing today I think that you need you know how to write articles.

    I would recommend going online and searching for ways to write articles and you can try youtube and I think that in about a month or so you will be able to write perfect articles (provided that you keep working hard and practicing).

    Hope that helps
