Article Rewriting: How to Manage Rewriting Many Articles.

Article Rewriting is My First Real Online Job

Many people are earning good amount of money through Internet either by selling goods or their services. However, some are just earning enough to add in to their daily income and I am one of those people. I actually don't have a regular online job or "racket." When I feel the need (I need extra cash) or boredom (I'm  tired of playing online games), I look for a part-time stint and one of my favorite easy online jobs is article rewriting. 

I like article rewriting for many reasons. The first time I had this work from home online job was in 2010. It became my first full-time and legitimate online job. I had to rewrite as many articles as I can within eight hours. My dear employer back then had the patience to let me adjust to my new role. At first day, I just re-wrote four 400-word article. It was terrible. Not a good start for me. After a week, I could submit eight to ten articles per day. 

How To Manage Time When I Rewrite Articles

My employer told me that he expected me to finish at least one 400- to 500-word article per hour as an article rewriter online. My work day started at 8:00 AM and ended at 5:00 PM. Even if I had to work eight hours per day, I could not finish at least eight articles. I knew I had to change something about my work habit and my writing style. So here are the adjustments I made:

  • Since I am a morning person--- meaning I'm refreshed, more energized in the early morning, I wake up at 5:00 am to start my Internet job. For the first two hours, I can write three to four articles. Then, I would rest my eyes, ate breakfast and took a bath.
  • At 8:00 am, I would re-write my next three articles and would take a break at 11:00 am. At this point, I would be bored or sleepy. So, I would leave my desk and do other things like watch TV or clean the house. I would eat my lunch between 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.  This is one of the things I love when I work from home!
  • At 1:30 PM, I would write my last one or last two articles. I would make sure that I would be finished at 3:00 PM.
  • I would go back to my desk at 4:30 PM to proofread all the rewritten articles and would submit them to my employer.

My Advice

Some people can do more than I can within eight hours. It all depends on your skill, your client's demands and your work quality. So, you ask yourself: Do you want to sacrifice quality over quantity? I wanted to deliver good article rewrites for my employer so I took
my time when I do this online job. My client also wanted good rewrites so I did not rush and I had to used my other available hours to complete my job.

With the way I managed my time to rewrite articles, I could guarantee well-written and duplicate-free articles. Also, I was able to rewrite articles faster after several months in the job. So aside from delivering good rewrites, I could make more of them to make my boss happier.  The key is time management.

Of course, since I was able to developed the skill of article rewriting, I can now use it for other rewriting jobs. Remember, rewriting is also a skill which you can use as an investment.
