			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Article Marketing &#8211; To Spin or Not to Spin</h3>
<p>To spin or not to spin, that is the question. I am relatively new to internet marketing. I chose article marketing as my method of marketing because I like to write. That sounds logical enough.</p>
<p>In the course of writing my articles, I soon discovered two things. One, I am too particular about my writing. I edit and re-edit and re-edit. I know that there are article marketers that whip out ten, twenty, or more articles everyday.  To this day, I am not sure how they do it. I can see slaving over maybe ten articles per day.  But, more than that everyday?</p>
<p>I mean quality content articles, articles that provide information, that say something. Now I am not knocking those that can pump out twenty or more articles of good content. But, just how many of those authors are out there.</p>
<p>I mean really writing solid articles with usable information. Take this article, so far I haven&#8217;t said much. I have spouted about my disbelief. Have I truly relayed to you any useful information? No, I didn&#8217;t think so. I have almost written 200 words and have yet to give you, the reader, useful information. Maybe, this how and what those authors write to get such volume.</p>
<p>The second thing I discovered is that although content is king, volume is his kingdom. Content without volume is like a king without subjects. Without a kingdom, there are no revenues and the king goes broke.  The kingdom (volume) provides subjects (traffic, readers) which in turn provide revenue.</p>
<p>I concluded that there are at least four ways to increase your writing;</p>
<ol>
<li>Write more.</li>
<li>Hire writers to write for you.</li>
<li>Buy Private Label Right (PLR) articles and rewrite them or attempt to publish them as is.</li>
<li>Spin your original articles.</li>
</ol>
<p>I have already dismissed the first one for reasons I stated earlier. I am slow. The second way is too costly for me now and I fear that I would be overly critical and end up rewriting them any way. The third method I reject for the same reasons as the second. I would end up rewriting the article.</p>
<p>Besides, what I have seen of PLRs, the best they can do is give you ideas for articles. We are left with spinning your article. That authors spin their articles always had me wondering. Why not just write another article? Surfing the forums you hear horror stories about automatically spun articles that put out un-intelligible garbage.</p>
<p>Why take the time and money to input an article into a spinner only to have it come out reading like alphabet soup? And, besides all that, you are cautioned to make sure that the spun article does not exceed 30% duplicate content. Doesn&#8217;t that sound like a complete re-write? I have never been an advocate of spinning articles. It seemed to me that I would just be rehashing the same stuff over and over again.</p>
<p>Many article directories will accept previously published articles. Some do not. Submitting previously published articles is like a writing a syndicated column for newspapers. The same article appears in many different newspapers. Why not do the same with an article marketers article?</p>
<p>There is a difference. One day I was re-reading one of my articles that I came across while surfing the internet. I clicked on the link at the bottom just to make sure the link was working properly. The link worked all right, but it went to one of my blogs. Can you guess what the first post on that page was?</p>
<p>Yep, I had just read the same article. I found that to be annoying and, well, poor taste. I think a reader would quickly bounce off the page and go elsewhere. So, I decided to re-write the article, but I remembered that the same article was appearing in many other directories. I would have to write many different versions of that same article to give the reader some uniqueness and still convey the original message.</p>
<p>It was then that I became a convert to article spinning. A word of caution, most article spinners are not worth the price, free or otherwise. Be very careful, only select a spinner that allows you full control of the output and then check each spun article for uniqueness.</p>
<h4>There is only one <a href=" https://articleproductions.com/index.php?ref=369#utm_source=feed&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=feed" target="_blank">Article Spinner</a> that I know of that delivers what it promises and it&#8217;s cheap! Click on that link and find out why!</h4>
