    What is rewriting article actually?

    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.

    Same content, different language. Replacing.

    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...

    Website with copied content, can be legal?

    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 or We? What's More Effective in Product Reviews?

    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...

    Are you overweight?

    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.

    Any Uber Drivers on the Forum?

    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.

    Computer or Laptop??

    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...

    Learning Customer Service - How Would you handle this situation ?

    $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...

    Human Readable best spinner

    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.

    Why isnt my clothing site converting anymore???

    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...

    Translated content, Good for SEO?

    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...

    eCommerce - rewriting product descriptions (Help!)

    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...

    Why isnt my clothing site converting anymore???

    Spend some money, and hire someone who you don't know and who has never visited your site before to run QA on your site, particularly on the checkout process. That's where most users leave the website from, and that's where you're most likely losing the most money. If you have users who are...

    What's the toughest type of copy you've ever had to write?

    Concise, dumbed-down writing. My writing style can best be described as "windy", I prefer using big words and long sentences. This is most likely because I started out in translating before I moved on to writing, and in translating, pay is per individual word, not per /100 words. I like...

    What is the best copywriting advice you ever heard?

    Make your readers laugh, and keep them engaged. Make them want to read the next sentence/paragraph in order to see what happens next, not just because they want to get to the bottom and understand what the deuce you're talking about.

    How Can I Write Unique Content Easily?

    Creating unique content is not a problem. Just rewriting someone else's article in your own words is unique. The real trick is to create original content, and that is much harder.

    What do you think about this content? Native enough?

    1) You get what you pay for 2) You need to spend money to make money. The text above looks like you didn't follow both of those rules, and it shows. The money you spend on good writing is an investment in your future customers, and a $50 investment in copy now can lead to hundreds, if not...
