Any good ebook re-writers?

5 replies
Does anyone know of any good ebook re-writers? I have two ebooks I wrote a long time ago and want to consolidate them into one and add a bunch of new content. I want to outsource it, but was going to go to elance, but didn't know if anyone had any referals first.

Also, is there any good "spinning" ebook re-writing software out there that I could do it myself?

Thank you,

Adam

    I pity the poor people you sell it to if you go that route.

      I'd almost buy it just to laugh at it.

      Almost.

        They are only referring to use of a spinner - you'll find that a lot of people think very little of them.

        What you want to do is perfectly acceptable. You really don't need most of it rewritten - just editing to remove the duplicate information. Of course, the additional content will cost you a bit to outsource but overall, this project doesn't seem like it would be too difficult.

        I would suggest looking in the Warrior for Hire section although few people advertise this type of service so you'll have to ask for rates

    Well, since this is going to be a Give-away bonus product, I think it would be OK to do that. These are tactics that are still very valid, plus I have added a bunch of new content to it as well. Its no different then what the warrior forum did with the best posts thread in the War Room. They took good content and created an ebook that they gave away. This is no different.

    I have values and don't believe in screwing people if thats what you meant by that. If you meant that by using a "spinner" the content wouldn't be good because many spinners don't do a good job and make content that is unreadable, then I know that and I always have done a human edit/proofread before doing anything.

    The reason for the combining is because some of the content overlaps and a few minor things are ineffective now, not much, but some and I always want my bonuses to be valuable. I don't see any negative things going on here at all.

    Thank you,

    Adam

      Adam,

      If I'm making an incorrect inference please accept my apology.

      It looks as though you want to make a product that is "less than your best" since it's a "free" item.

      How many times have you purchased a product and received with it any number of "highly valued" bonuses? Bonuses, that upon inspection were pretty much crapola? What was your reaction?

      Speaking only for myself in similar situations it caused me to wonder about the quality of the primary product. In all fairness, in most cases, although the primary product was as described I still looked at it with a bit of a jaundiced eye.

      On one or two occasions I've actually received more value from a bonus than the primary product.

      What would happen if, in addition to offering a great primary product, you also supplied a super-stellar bonus?

      If you look at this as an opportunity to shine or, as Mr. Myers would say, add "Thud", there's no telling what benefits you'd reap.

      Elmer
