Yes, I know, some people out there will think of this as cheating, but it would make my life as a mother and housewife so much easier. I can only manage to write 3 articles per day at the moment. I would like to turn it into a full time income. Yes, 3 articles a day is full time work, but I am not getting a full time wage from it. For the creative side, yes, you can use it just to do the research or you can use it to write the whole article, if pushed for time, so it says in the sales video. Part of me says, "Well of course, you idiot, it would say that," but as I am becoming surrounded by ever growing piles of ironing and my husband is complaining of being neglected, I am getting a little desperate. Can anyone out there help me, does this software work, and are there any tips you can give me to become a little better organized in my working day, apart from getting up at 4 am every day.

Is this the kind that writes it for you? I've heard of them and I've heard that you don't get the quality that you get with a "real" writer. Sentences can be awkwardly put together and it's just not as good as an original writer.

I can't write more than a few a day, either. I try to make them good quality and original ideas even if it's a very tired subject that's been written about a lot. I think the people who write so many are either very good or don't care about the quality of their work. Keep writing, keep up your quality! Check out clarkhoward.com and enter "work at home" in the search box. He has a number of legitimate work at home jobs, he's an economist and consumer advocate. While you're there, get some great financial advice, too! I hope you find something there that you can do. I didn't, but you might.

Hiya dragon54u, long time no speak, have you been busy also? Anyway, I think that you are totally right and I am just being a stupid idiot for even looking at these sites. The problem is, when you look through some of these freelance writing sites there are adverts for people who can write 10 articles a day. I don't know about you but for me to write anything worth reading I can only write 3-5 a day. I can only write 5 if my husband has decided to be both mum and dad for the day, and takes my son out for the day. How do these people do it? and for such low payment as well.

Think about it. If such software were available, the writers would be all out of work. As far as getting your writing speed up, it helps if you already know the subject you are writing on. It takes two to three times as long to write on a subject you know nothing about. The only other thing you can really do is practice. There are only really two areas you can save time on, the time it takes you to research and the time it takes you to type your article. Both get faster with practice. Finally, you can try pre-writing your articles, in other words, write your ideas down as soon as you can and go back later to do the actual work. I know this probably doesn't help much but I completely understand the situation you are in. It is a tough field. Finally, you can try is to look for places that pay you a higher amount for the three articles that you can produce.

Hi sierras236, strangely enough, when I was reading through this website this morning that is exactly what I was thinking. If it works this well, I shall be losing my work soon. You, so obviously know what you are talking about, when I am writing about something I am interested in or I know about, I do write twice as fast, it is all the research that we have to do on the things we know nothing about that takes up all the time. I have just bought a speed reading course that will help me with that, I hope so anyway. If it does I will let everyone at mylot know. Thankyou for your helpful advice by the way.

Hi Moondance, I have done some research on this Article Wizard Pro.
Basically you type in a keyword, then this software will plagierise all sentences with the keywords for you.
The paragraph or article makes no sense at all, and if you submit this kind of articles to any writing sites, the writing sites will ban you for plagierising.
Those writers who use this software have to rewrite everything, and just use the main ideas. That's why the video says you can use it as a research tool. Since this software can hunt search through the websites, and copy sentences from different articles.
You may like to consider learning how to recycle writing ideas, rather than paying for this kind of software.
There are a few articles in Helium about recycling writing ideas. You can search for "write like a maniac" by Ed Lewis. You can download free, and hopefully can increase the rate of writing.
I read through this once, and find it very inspiring.

Hi Scheng, hi moondance,
I have heard of someone submitting stuff from doing that and of course the articles got rejected but after doing it a couple times he was kicked off the site. Writing sites aren't going to take stuff like that. I wondered who would use something like that. I am glad scheng informed us that it is a research tool and not something that writes articles. I haven't really heard of it except for this guy's issue. Recycling writing ideas is a great suggestion. I have been doing that. LOL I either take my old articles and rewrite them or I will take a title from Helium and write a new article to put on AC and Helium. Good luck to you.
I also just read an article from someone inspiring others to write like they wrote when taking exams. Just spill it out and when you are done clean it up. The title is Tips to Make You Write Faster by Siew Cheng Hoe on AC. I think this would really pertain to your question.

Hi scheng1, it was mainly as a research tool that I was going to use it, but thankyou for doing the research. I do already recycle articles, as in read the articles for research and then once I feel I have read enough, start to write. I must say though, if I am writing about something I know nothing about it can be very hard work and takes ages, well, a couple of hours anyway sometimes. But never mind, they say practice makes perfect so maybe I should just shut up and get on with it. Stop looking for an easy way out.

Hi Moondance, Mommaj has given a good example of recycling article.
Another way to recycle article is to write one article, for example "how to save money on grocery". You can base on your personal experience. Submit to one writing site. Rewrite the whole article, by changing a few words or some ideas in the article. For example, in the first article, you talk about Walmart, then the second article, you can change to Tesco. Submit the second article to another writing site. With rewriting, you are essentially using one idea, and rewrite into many articles. Some writers re-write ten times, and submit to eleven writing sites to make more money.
