Do you feel contented with writing just to earn money or you are writing to earn your niche in this very exciting and illustrious profession.Do you call this seo type of article writing, writing in its strict sense! How about article rewriting. This I beleive is robbing away one's work. You just rep-hrase, re-arrange paragraphs and use synonyms to change some words.. and then presto.. you have an article..I think this is unfair for the original writer.. I guess there should be some sort of control here and the original writer should be given royalty for the rewriten article.

And what about the pay for rewriting articles it is very minimal.. I guess there should also be a standard set for this.

As a writer I feel it is wrong. I certainly wouldn't want someone changing the words in something that I worked on and slaved over. Writing is personal and that piece belongs strictly to its creator.

Hi Sammy,

YES YOU are right, writing is the profession and it has to
loved by the writer. So writing is almost very important to the writer
in order to express his feeling to others. When you want to express
something you must need the skills to write the feeling and express to
others, otherwise it is not too difficult to have the success in the life.
Similarly writing profession also one of the great profession and also
it has to be respectable and also given the more rewards. But unfortunately
most of the sites are not paying to the writer much and just paying small
amount for their writing articles. So as you have said that all thesites
should consider about their paying capacity to the writer in order to have
good and professional writing articles on the sites.

Have a nice day.

I like to write anything from short articles to poems and sayings. But i recently joined a paying site as a writer which is shvoong.com and since I have enjoyed writing and want to join more writing sites. I will join brighthub.com in a few days. I have a degree in English so I don't find any difficulty in writing articles, I don't have to re-phrase, re-arrange etc. But I do make someone read and correct what I have written.....Hope you can become a good writer. Goodluck.

Hi, Sammy! happy

I write because I love to write and if I can make money out of my passion, then it is a bonus and I will feel highly appreciated as my articles have values as well as they have reached at some levels. It also means I write just for pastime or turn my passion into a profession be it full time or part time.

I agree with you that rewriting or reconstruct an article in some point means 'borrowing' somebody else's original ideas especially when the person who rewrites the said article gets the credit instead of the original writer.

However, I also think that rewriting articles means that some works clearly needs to be revised or added more new ideas from generations to generations or simply to alter the way the articles are conveyed to the readers for an easier grasp.

Hence, there should not be taken lightly and the pay should also meet up to the writers' contributions and writing skills as well.

I write from my heart and everything I put to paper is the result of a lot of work and I don’t think it is fair for others to copy or re-arrange my work! The problem I have in regards to making decent money from writing is that I like to write what is inside me and I find it really difficult to produce a piece about a subject that I have little interest in. In other words I don’t like being told what to write about!

Writing is my passion and I would love to attempt a book one day...

For me, I prefer a narrative style of writing. I can spend more time on a site with lots of great narrative stories and whatnot than a very well formed, adhering strictly to a format or some sort. Well, there can be such articles, but if a site is filled with 'robotic' articles, I don't think I would bookmark it. But if the site has lots of awesome and great personal touch stories, and interesting/engaging, I would come back a lot of times, even if the site isn't crawled on search engines.

I joined some writing sites to try my hand upon it. I realized after writing some articles that I can earn more in here. The task by sharonbucks are good tasks to do because she pays a better money than those other writing sites. I am not an excellent writer but at least I can differentiate a noun and a verb with some cohesive thought. I think that is important.

In the short time I was active on oDesk.com, a couple of clients encouraged re-writes directly from Ezinearticles.com. The last time I checked, Ezinearticles does not pay upfront or by page views but I found one article to be really wrong as far as facts were concerned.

I do re-word some of my own articles to submit to new markets. The only company that wasn't having that was InfoBarrel but eHow, AC and even TextBroker have allowed me to make extra $.

These days I do find myself writing more informative articles and keyword density is priority. I hate when I get assignments that want almost every 10th word (or 10%)to be a keyword, it can sound pretty unnatural. The upside is when the keyword is about 4-6 words total but the max. word count is 350, you can finish your draft and proofing in about an hour or less.
