    im now intend to be a rewriter..
    so i bid on a project from GAF, but my competitors have more experiences and can produce a lot of rewrite articles per day, some able to send 20 rewrite articles a day..

    how am i suppose to rewrite that fast?? i am university student, and i dont have a lot of time 2 spare, but i really can use the income..

    how did they do it?? is there some secret behind it, that everyone else except me knows?? i really want to get this job, but sending 10 articles a day if far beyond my capacity.. HELP

    well no, you don't have to. All the freelancing sites are overrun by companies a beginner can't compete with, so it might be better to start of here on dp and build a reputation. Then you'll find better jobs and most time won't need GAF and all the other sites

    Really?
    Can you write in English?
    I'm not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely surprised, I did assume you were writing these articles in your own language. Just in the few sentences you've posted in this thread, it's obvious that your English isn't very good, which doesn't bode well for a career as an article writer

    Do you use some kind of a software for this, or did you write an application yourself that does this for you?

    How do you rewrite 300 articles a day? This sounds a bit too good to be true. 300 articles a day is equal to writing 12 and a half articles an hour, which means you rewrite more than one article every four minutes? All of this is assuming you do not sleep at all...

    Rewriting articles with software is a bad idea. I'm strongly against the practice, because most of the time, they don't produce articles that resemble any readable form of English.

    Rewriting articles in general isn't completely ethical, but if you make sure you don't leave any phrases the same (even five or six words), it's legal. Try to add a little of your own voice to the articles to make them different.

    To be completely honest with you, you should brush up on your English. Read and write as much as possible, study some English lessons online, and pay particular attention to correct punctuation and spelling. Don't rely on a spell-checked to do it for you, either. (See what I did there that wouldn't have been caught if I hadn't reread what I just wrote? ;) It's just one perfect example of English gone astray.)

    The "secret" is using horrible software that mangles articles, writing in bad English, and overall having no sense of pride in what they have produced. Make an effort to improve your English and you can do better than that... and make a LOT more money, too.

    Good luck. :)

    I also would like to re-write articles for anyone in need of them, and as i see it, it seems like a time warp back to school. You receive a topic, research materials, and write the report, however there are some differences now. For one you get paid for your works, and number two, there are multitudes of competition out there going against you. As mentioned before, brush up on articulation, sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, vocabulary, and the such, then you'll be on your way to writing something well composed and useful to buyers and readers alike. Start small as previously suggested, then work your way up to multiple writers. My best suggestion is to live by copyspace.com, because no one wants the Copyright agencies attacking you. Best of luck you.

    I know that SEO writing is alot different from your standard run of the mill writing. But still at its core, writing IS rewriting. Nothing on the internet is new. Its all been rehashed and hashed again.

    Another factor would be efficiency. Try reading up on some articles about time management and productivity.

    I've gotten too busy to keep doing it for myself but when I do rewriting, a 500 word article usually takes me about 20-25 minutes to do a good job. This means not just moving some words around but re phrasing statements, removing unnecessary words and expanding on points that could use more depth. Also, you'll usually need to be targeting certain keywords when you do these jobs so rewriting things to squeeze in the keywords and still have the article make sense is important.

    Take on some smaller, cheaper projects. Since you have little experience and you're English may not be on par with others, you'll need to sell your services at a lower rate until you get better.
