Rewriting Articles

You got my point! :D I have many PLR articles here, that I even bought. Oh God, you gotta see the grammar and the composition of those! Should have never bought them LOL, but yeah.. It's a time saver, I agree.. And article spinners? Na ah! Haha I tried one of those and I cannot even think that the finished article is in English

Hi Amaine, I download a few hundred PLR articles free of charge, and many are very badly written. After the rewriting, the articles are completely different. Because I rewrite the ideas, not the words, so the articles have my style of writing, and not those styles that are suspiciously Indian.

HEHE scheng! Isn't that just writing an article if all you do is take the title? You work too much. LOL

Hi Chrisanimelo, actually the best examples of rewriting articles come from the newspapers. Most newspapers do not have enough staff to post overseas, so they subscribe to Assoicated Press and the reporters just rewrite the news from Associated Press. I find that many of the finance news in the local newspaper comes from Reuters. The problem is that they change the title and practically everything, except the core idea. I must say that they do a good job in rewriting, since I have difficulty in locating the original news in Reuters. While using the Thesaurus is the easiest way to rewrite article, I think that the rewritten article lacks the style of the rewriter. Sometimes those PLR articles are so badly written that it is much better to borrow the idea and write a new article based on it.

haha Chrisanimelo, those newspaper reporters are master rewriters. They can combine two original articles in Reuters and rewrite into an original article. Most of the times they rewrite from Associated Press. Those articles appearing in China's newspapers are more challenging, they need translation and rewriting to make it less fiery or nationalistics. I think only the home news are original news articles. All the others are from elsewhere, China news from Xinhua, most from Associated Press. That's why it's nothing wrong to rewrite articles, since copyrights protect the words of the articles, and not the content, otherwise all the newspaper editors and reporters will go to jail.

Hmm.. I didn't realize newspapers rewrote articles. I find that interesting. Well, thanks for the reply. I agree that sometimes the articles are very poorly written and writing a fresh article would be the only way to make the article understandable.

If sometimes, you would run out of ideas and your brain just won't function properly If you know what I mean, write 50 500-750 word articles everyday Your drain may be drained sometimes, and yet you still need to produce something.. T_T

Oops what I meant was "Your brain tend to be drained sometimes.." ^_^

If you're aiming at 50 articles a day, I'm not surprised you run out of ideas. Surely that's too much creativity? And I can't help thinking the quality will suffer as well. Please don't take this as criticism - it's not meant to be.

Aww Sandra, you never know how badly written some articles are.. Haha Don't worry, I like what I am doing and I never create and finish an article just because there is money waiting for me in my paypal account.. I have tried to register with Helium, however, my country is not included.. What else can go wrong..

LOL. That's pretty funny about the community newsletter. I guess you should probably use those spelling and grammar checkers. I must admit it sure does take a while to re-write.

Hmm, I haven't tried Helium yet. I'll make sure to give that website a look! By the way, I love your last sentence. It's so true! I constantly have ideas whirling around in my head, just waiting to be written down on paper. By the way, bravo! I like your tactic for rewriting articles, though I doubt I'd write a fresh article when asked to rewrite someone else's article. It just sounds like a lot of work to me! Then again, some articles are so messed up that you need to write a fresh one! Hehe, luckily I only came across two of those.
