Spintax - Spin Syntax - Article Spinning - Article Rewriting

Article Spinning is an SEO technique where SEO experts post one of the matchless version of relevant articles or contents on article directories, other sources for backlinks or web 2.0 sites.  Some website owners used this techniques but, as much as possible, they avoid it because spun content will be usually of lower quality that a handwritten one.

By rewriting articles or certain areas of an article, spinning takes place. Certain words, sentences, phrases or paragraphs are replaced with several alternate versions.

Why Use Article Spinning?

A lot of article marketers think that spinning articles is a good solution in avoiding the penalties of SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) for having duplicate content. It is still unclear though on how Google and the rest of search engines can find out or lessen the value of a spun content. However, utilizing spun content is known as black hat SEO practice. The reason is that most of these spun contents are made out of automated methods and it is, in general, unreadable by humans. These are usually labeled as SPAM.

There are many reasons why there’s a need for article spinning and some of these are:

• To submit to different article directories
• To submit to several blog networks
• To create a unique content for a blog or website
•  To gain backlinks

What is Spintax?

Spintax is a contraction of these two words:

SPINNING + SYNTAX

Spintax is the list of the following elements that are embedded into a certain content or article:

•           Text
•           Sentences
•           Synonyms

Spintax is the syntax or format used by different software spinners and sites for article submission that are creating or using spun articles.

How to create an Spintax? 

Here’s the most common spintax format:

The children are happily playing.

If we are going to spun or format the sentence above using spintax, we can get this output:

{The children|The kids} are {happily|cheerfully} {playing|doing games}

The words or phrases that are placed inside {|} are randomly replaced in the spun article. So, for the example above, here are some of the different versions generated:

The children are happily playing
The kids are happily playing.
The children are cheerfully playing.
The children are happily doing games. 
The kids are cheerfully playing.

My Online Job In Generating Online Leads

What is an Online Lead?

In Internet marketing, online lead generation is the strategy used to generate potential customers who have the same interests or it can be an inquiry made to know the services and/or products of a business via the Internet. Lead generation online is for different purposes and the usual goal is to get the right market. Leads are used to get a more specific list of people or companies that can be offered with membership promos or loyalty and rewards programs. 

Internet is an important tool to generate online leads. One can use search engines to get complete information about people or companies that are related and might be interested to a specific product. Social media is also becoming a primary source of online leads. 

Providing Leads as an Online Job

Some companies rely to other companies or people to provide real online leads for them. Many companies nowadays are offering lead generation but it does not end here. How successful you are going to convince these leads to be your costumers depend strongly on your business skills. 

So, why pay a hefty sum to online lead generation companies? Why generate your own leads instead of focusing on convincing them? That's why some entrepreneurs have learned to hire freelancers like me to look for online leads for them instead of hiring a company. A freelancer's fee is negotiable and, oftentimes, cheaper than hiring a lead generation company. Business owners know the demographics and characteristics of their potential customers. They just need to find the right person to search for these potential customers. 

As a freelancer generating internet leads, it is important that you have access to sites where their potential customers are roaming. One should not just get the job and later find out that he has limited access or skills to grab all the information needed by the client. It's a waste of time for both employer and freelancer. 

Good Pay

I stumbled upon a good paying employer in an online website. I didn't have experience as an online lead finder. I checked his requirements on how I can apply.He wanted an example of how I can generate leads and how I would present it to him. I read the job ad thoroughly and applied. He accepted my application because I submitted the information he needs in an organized and presentable way.

Since it was my first time and I have no idea with the pricing of leads generation, I bid for $40. But since he liked my work, this is how he paid me:

First Job:

1st batch = $85 

2nd batch = $100

Second Job:

1st batch = $200 + $500 (incentive bonus)

Overall, I am rewarded very well with a simple job because I provided the right information for my client. He gave me the bonus because I gave him a list where more than 60% of the leads have ordered to him.  Again, I will not apply for this job if I know I can't give the leads he need.

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.
