Writing Content The Easy Way
- Posted by zenbuddhist on October 8th, 2006 filed in Internet Marketing, Make Money Online
I am always looking for ways to both automate and speed up the process of writing articles. It is essential to the online business. I know how much people hate writing, and also know that this “grunt work” is the most boring thig in the world if you do not enjoy it.
As a writer, I don’t have that problem. However, trying to keep up with (at last count) 80 content sites, it gets very boring at times, and can be a real pain. I would rather be creating new things, but cannot neglect this most important aspect of my online business. So, I have to grin and bear it, until I can find a personal assistant that will take over this chore for me.
Because I love technology, and think we should always use it to our best advantage, I have devised a method that works well for me, and helps provide unique content in the process. Anyone who has been around internet marketing long knows about PLR, and is aware of the crap you generally get when you buy it or get it as a bonus. Most of it is about as informative and exciting as a wet dishrag.
It is, however, a good building block for unique contet of your own. I like to have a word count of at least 500 for my articles. Generally speaking, most PLR articles I see run anywhere from 3-400 word count - not enough for my needs. Adding to it can be easy with the method I have devised.
Here is what I do. I have MS Office 2003, and although I do not like using Word for writing content to publish to websites, I also have NoteTab Pro. I enable the speech recognition software in MS Word, so that I can create articles by voice recognition. I then utilize this feature in NTP - something that Microsoft has allowed us to do. First, I open up my keyword list in MS Excel. I size the window so that it fits on the right side of my screen, showing only the keyword list.
Then I open up NTP, turn on the microphone, load the PLR article I want to change,and create my article by simply reading the content paragraph by paragraph, and inserting my own content as I go along. I read from the keyword list on my right, and in that way can make my content relevant, and can also edit as I go along.
This may sound cumbersome, and it is until you get the hang of it. One of the most important things to do is “train” your computer to recognize your voice. I can’t emphasize this enough. If you do not take the time to train your computer, then accuracy will suffer, and you will get frustrated with this practice and not use it. But if you spend an hour training the computer to recognize your voice and the computer learns to understand you, the software is about 95% accurate. i can live with that…
This is nowhere near what I do to create uniqyue content. I write unique content for clients on private forums, and this process works for me. Give it a try…
Peace,
