Rewriting Articles? Try These Tips
Written by Garnet Miller · Print This Article
One article is no longer one article anymore. It can be at least two or three when you decide to rewrite them. It does take time but if you have a reliable ghostwriter, they can do it for you.
Why Rewrite Articles?
People rewrite articles for different reasons:
- Purchased PLR articles
- Submission of articles to article directories
- Need blog posts
Regardless of the reason, rewriting articles is the quickest way to produce more content in less time. With PLR, you are paying a low price for article packets on different subjects. Now, you have a stockpile of articles to work with and none of them were written by you.
Article directories assist you with article marketing for your business. Posting your work in different places where it is likely to be seen can increase the traffic to your website.
Many businesses now have blogs to accompany their websites. You can interact with your customers and hear feedback from them in a separate setting. Tweaking the articles that you post on your website can give you new content to work here.
Tips for Rewriting Articles
Use a ghostwriter to rewrite the articles. You probably don’t have the time. Choose someone who has experience rewriting content for websites and blogs.
If you have purchased PLR articles, you will want to rewrite them. The chances are great that someone else is also using that same article packet and has not taken the time to rewrite them. The “let it ride” approach can hinder your rankings with the search engines.
Instead try these ideas:
- Go paragraph by paragraph. This way you keep the essence of the original article. For article software that “spins” new articles, usually the same number of paragraphs are needed and there may be word count requirements.
- Use synonyms. The words that we seem to have the most trouble with are the verbs. Using the same action words but different nouns keeps your content too similar to the original.
- Avoid simply rearranging the sentences in each paragraph. If you are doing more than one rewrite off of each article, you will run out of options in a 3 or 4 sentence paragraph. Read and then interpret what is there in a new way.
Rewriting articles is one way to get the content you need for your purposes. In most cases, even then you don’t have time to do it yourself. Give your ghostwriter the helpful tips above and let them handle this project.

Great tips! I’m a ghostwriter AND I have my own blogs in which I do use PLR sometimes, especially when I need some ideas for topics to write about.

Hi Mary,
As a ghostwriter, you have the best of both worlds. You can rewrite your own PLR in less time without the need to hire someone else because you are used to writing. Great!
