I personally find rewriting easier than writing a full article. Writing can take me even as much as a coupla hours, rewriting can be done in a fraction of that time.

As a translator, I just want to point out that from experience, you never want to translate more than a few words with Google, Babylon or any other automatic translating program/platform. They don't understand syntax, don't understand context, and when words have more than one translation, you...

Don't copy content, you'll just get marked as a plagiarizer. Black marks on your website are never good. I know that the Articoolo article rewriter works pretty decently for me, rewriting 500 words in a couple of minutes, and then about 10 minutes or so of editing and proofreading on my part...

I prefer using "I", unless I'm actually working with someone else, in which case I have no problem using "we". In general, I feel that you should only use "we" if there is a point at which more than one option will be presented. If you and someone else are reviewing a product and agree on...

One work laptop with an extra screen, and 2 home laptops

According to the instructor at the gym, I'm about 1 point above nominal BMI, which makes me overweight. I feel fine, and aside from a beer gut and a couple extra kg, I don't feel that I'm overweight.

First thing that comes to mind when people start making goat jokes:

I'm actually waiting for Uber and Lyft to make it here to Israel, the taxi companies have somehow convinced the government to block Uber from operating here for now. Eventually it will work out, hopefully. I used Uber when I was in the states, it was awesome, and much cheaper/easier than cabs/buses.

For the money you're spending, desktops are much more powerful than laptops. I prefer to spend decent money and got a top of the line laptop, that I know will last me a while (my current laptop is coming up on 5 years old), and every so often format the whole things and keep it running smoothly...

$5 for a 28 day job doesn't seem lucrative at all, but to each their own. If you're going to stay the Fiverr route, then like the fellas above me said: Make it clear that it takes 28 days, and that there's no point in emailing for updates and the like, because it'll still take 28 days. Answer...

I've recently begun using Articoolo, it's a new tool that can create original, unique content and rewrite articles up to 500 words long. It's also relatively cheap.

It feels to me that you also need to spend more time on engaging your users and creating new ones. Shoutouts might not be enough anymore, as you may have lost a certain amount of traction with your target audience. I'd recommend investing in AdWords and Facebook campaigns, as well as investing...

As someone who started in translation work (and still do plenty of it on the side), I consider Google Translate to be a personal nemesis of mine. The amount of people who claim "I can just use Google Translate, why do I need you" and then come back with their tails between their hind legs is...

Spinners work, but to a limit. They have more than their fair amount of screw-ups, and I find that even for a 300-350 word article, the end result looks much better when I rewrite it in my own words, even if it means spending 15 minutes on each article. Either way, once you use a spinner you...
