EXPERT OPINIONS PLEASE: Pay $600+ for Article Re-writes -- or Buy Article Spinner Software??

8 replies
My brief experience using an article spinner a couple years ago was that for rewriting just one article, the software spewed out gibberish and I could rewrite the article much faster myself.

I need content for five sites now and got a quote of almost $600.00 to rewrite 117 PLR articles. This guy is only .007 cents per word. So he sent me a couple rewrite but they were 85% duplicate content using Dupe Free Pro. He seems like an honest guy and I suspect one of his writers got lazy and hoped no one would notice. He said he would rewrite them but I told him to hold for now as I researched the possibility of doing my own rewrites using article spinner software.

So now I am faced with the prospect of either...

  • Pay $600.00 to outsource rewrites (this is just a start since I will continually need more content).
  • Rewrite my own articles (I am a fast writer and typist but time is an issue).
  • If it exists, get an article spinner software program that can do one-off work in less time than I could rewrite an article myself.

So all this has been building up to this one big bad question...

Does an article spinner exist now that can rewrite ONE ARTICLE AT A TIME in less time than it would take me to do the rewrite myself?

Thank you.
Steve

    Get a better writer. I know lots of writers who charge in that price range that would NEVER consider sending a client duplicate work. I also know some who don't think twice about sending duplicate work, thinking the client won't know better or won't check. I personally don't like getting a client and then outsourcing to other writers. But I also charge much more than $.07 per word.

    There are plenty of warriors here who could do that for you, for that price without the duplicate content.

      You can look into voice recognition software and just speak your articles then do a little editing, that would speed up your writing and ensure you are happy with the results.

      If you have Windows Vista it has voice recognition software built-in for free. Dragon is another alternative.

      You can look at article spinner software that uses nested variables to spin your articles, that way they are around 70+% unique. You could easily turn one article into 20 or more.

      I use Content Composer, it spins them with nested variables and has other cool features like plagerism checker, a lite version for outsourcing, keyword density checks, helps with LSI in your articles, etc... Runs on your desktop.

      I don't know of a spinning software that does a good job automagically, you still have to do some work and use your brain to get good results.

      Good Luck

        So like someone else that responded here said, article spinners aren't any good for doing just one PLR article rewrite because of the time it takes to set up the program, right?

        I have Windows Vista 64 bit and had no idea it had voice recognition software built into it. Where can I find that?

        Thanks

      That brings up a good question...

      Are there really article re-writers on this forum that can write for .007 cents per word or less?

      Thanks

        I'd never risk my writing on article spinner. For me if you're operating in a niche aimed at people who are more well read such as the writers market- then you lose credibility.

    I've had good luck with spinning articles, but there are a couple of caveats that come with their use:

    1. There's a learning curve involved in developing the ability to write articles that spin well.
    2. There's little point in using a spinner unless you need a certain number of spun copies. It takes me about 20 minutes to set up a 400-500 word article to get spun. From that, I can make 1 copy or 100,000, but 1000 copies doesn't do me any good if I only need five.

    I was, at one time, building ten different sites with identical themes. Spinning worked really well for that. I rewrote/spun some 50 different articles and got thousands of readable pages out of that effort.

      Good info. Thank you.

      Is it true that the more articles you spin from the original, the higher the more that article becomes duplicate content using something like Dupe Free Pro?

      Which article spinner do you use?
