Selling first born for info ...

While reading these forums daily, I've learned alot. Found out about AC here and started writing articles. I usualy just open a book or find info online and rewrite it. Used the Voice to text method but usually do it faster by hand. Anyway I haven't used any of the re-writing techniques.. haven't gotten that far yet. (any tips welcome). I've written some articles and can do about 5 a day. Not going to make a living that way i know. So i figured i would see how it works and then come back and see how it really works. I have a few question and hope anyone with the knowledge will help.

1. Wanting the best of both world. Would like to make money directly AND use the same article to promote my sites. It just seems a waste of time to use the article to make 3-5 bucks from AC, or just through it up on ezine and get 100 views. There has to be a better way or a way to do both.

2. Guess the first question leads to this one. If I write an article and want to distribute it to more than one ezine. Does it need to be re-written each time? If so how does that work if I use a article distributor? Any recommendations on a distributor?

2. Is there a better method than just writing each article by hand? or better site to use if I haven't found a decent way to spin/re-write.

I'm honestly sorry that this has so many questions in it but it seems like when you learn one thing it leads to 10 other things.

1) You can write articles for AC based around the niche of your site and then slip in random links for it. If you're clever with your approach you can get away with it, but go in with the understanding that your AC accts are disposable and you could get caught/banned. They don't check every link we add to our articles.

2) The rule of thunb is that it's best to submit the orginial to Ezine first and then once published do a re-title and rewrite of 30% before spreading it over the rest of the directories.
I'm pretty sure you mean a mass submitter when you speak of a distributor? I'm using a pretty good free one by Bryxen Software (Google it).

3) You can use Dragon Naturally Speaking to do rewrites, Power Article Rewriter (not recommended for use with AC but great for rewriting for article directories), or outsource the writing.

Good luck

Appreciate the info redtide. Will try to put it to good use. And yes i did mean mass submitter.
