Can someone tell me how to write 'spin-ready' articles?

17 replies
I have had a request for spin-ready articles. I understand how article spinners work, but after spending considerable time googling 'how to write spin-ready articles' I haven't found anything of use as to how people actually do this.

Anyone care to post some tips?

    Hi Val,

    What you want to do is include your different options inside curly braces and seperated with a |

    So, for example.....

    {My dog {likes|loves} to chase my cat.|Every morning, my dog chases my cat around {my|our|the} house.|My pets get {great|plenty of|a lot of} exercise when the dog chases the cat.}

    Hope that makes sense!

    If you have The Best Spinner or similar software, all you need to do is write an article like you normally would. Then you can put it in the spinning program, choose find synonyms, and it will create the spinning syntax that Lee mentioned above.

    Thanks for the prompt responses everyone. This sounds like a LOT of work if you have to code it all by hand.

    Is there software that does this specifically for a Mac?

      It's not hard - but I think you would need to know what spinner is going to be used as not all have the same way of creating "spin ready" copy. It's not coding but simply adding synonyms, etc into the text. Once you are used to it, it's easy to do.

      It does take more time so charge accordingly.

    Val, I'm not sure about other software the Mac. Do you have a Windows OS parallel on your Mac?

    Depending on how unique you want the articles the amount of work differs. It takes me almost an hour to come up with a very good spin article that has multiple versions that are extremely different.

    You should charge much more for good quality spin ready articles.

    I can see that I have my work cut out for me. Thanks to everyone who replied. I now at least have an excellent starting point, so will proceed from there. I will look in to Mac options, as I don't have a Windows option on my present Mac.

    I really appreciate everyone's responses. Thanks again, Warriors ROCK!

      Hi Val,
      Not too many here Fancy article spinning, it is primarily used for back linking, or to up "linkjuice" for the page you want ranked higher.

      There is software that will spin an article for you, but they are just OK. nothing will beat a human at it. Especially a creative one.

      I made you a quick video about making a "spin ready" article for you. It's about five minutes.

      This is another video I put on youtube a while ago that explains some more.


      Good luck with your Creative writing!

    In my opinion when and article is spun multiple times and submitted to article directories it is a form of Search Engine spam.

    I'm a firm believer in that the Web should contain useful content. Submitting spun articles is littering the web with the same content with different word/sentence/paragraph variations for the befit of webmasters to gain backlinks, traffic and rankings.

    That is my feeling as well.

    I think article spinning is causing more problems than it is solving. I know that when I look for information on a site, I want original, well-written, well-researched and well presented material. It's not too difficult to tell if an article has been spun or not. The syntax is never quite right. While the spun article will pass on some article directory sites, it's still a spun article - an inferior product, as far as I am concerned.

    So I am double minded about this. I can see some value of selling plr content that makes it easy for the purchaser to rework into their own context. When it is used by a competent article marker I do see that it has some value.

    On my writing website, everything I write is original, and not suitable for spinning. So it was a surprise to me when someone contacted me asking for 'spin-ready' content.

    I haven't decided if I am going to do this, or not. However, I did want to know how this technique was implemented.

    If someone buys article packs from me (which I don't offer, as yet) and then rewrites the material to suit their needs - I don't see a lot of difference between that technique and the article spinning process.

    I guess what I'm really asking is: If one is intending to sell PLR at all, would it not be be better for the buyer to purchase it already in 'spin format?' Perhaps the whole concept of selling PLR at all, is at the heart of this matter after all is said and done.

    I'm still sitting on the fence as far as this issue is concerned, and I really do appreciate everyone's replies and input.

    That's only the ones that are spun badly. If an article is spun properly by someone who takes the time to make sure the flow and syntax are good then you would never know the difference.

    And, I might add, there are plenty of "unique" articles that read like crap.

      This is true. oh so true.

      This goes hand in hand with "sales-people annoy me" this is because 90% of sales people are doing it wrong. When you find a good sales person, you don't know you are being sold, just buying a solution to your problem that the sales-person helped you to identify.

      Advertising is the same thing, 90% of advertising is bad advertising. The good ones change our lives. - got milk? Yet we might complain about "bad" advertising, or too much, or how we may hate commercials.

      If I can write one article that is good, entertaining, and provides great information... and really helps someone, and then make a hundred of them at the same time... why not?

      Writing 8 separate articles about "how to make money online" can be the same as writing ONE good "spun" 'how to make money article.

      It's all about how YOU want to do it. If you want to write "spam" then you will write spam. If you want to write great articles, then spend the time, writing great articles, then you will get great articles.

      To be honest, anything out there on the internet is basically spam. That is unless you build a website around a product or service and sit there and wait to generate "electronic word of mouth" that will lead people to your site, you are basically taking the 'build it and they will come' attitude which brings little or no results.

      As soon as you write an article with the intent to drive traffic to your site, you are advertising, whether you are doing it online or offline.

      What kind of advertising do you want to be sending out there?

      If you haven't seen it, watch 'Ad and Copy'. It's a great documentary dvd, and no, I have no affiliate link for this. And it has nothing to do with IM but EVERYTHING about connecting with the people you are helping.

    You could always try and outsource your article spinning

    Good article spinning is a talent. There is so much out there that is bad spinning but that is mainly for two reasons -

    1. the article was poorly written to begin with - such as bad PLR.

    2. the person spinning it simply chose some random synonyms or hit a button that added synonyms without really reading what the outcome would be.

    For quality spins you need to rewrite at the sentence level and then spin words/phrases. It's what I do for my clients and they have been very satisfied.
