If you’re new to article writing one of the things that you may be wondering is whether using article writing software is a good idea. After all article writing can be extremely time consuming, so it’s got to be tempting to try anything that will speed up the process – right? Well not necessarily but let’s consider your options.

Article Spinners

Article spinning involves turning a single article into 3, 4 , 5 10, 20. 100 new articles. A quick bit of keyword research will reveal lots of different article spinning software available on the market Different programmes have slightly different features but there are three different types of spinning you can do:- automatic, semi-automatic and manual. Automatic and semi-automatic cost money. Manual spinning is something you do yourself and therefore there is no cost involved.

Automatic Spinning

Automatic are generally premium software and come at a price. They are generally simple to use as you load up an article, click a button and the software does the rest. However, the articles that it turns out are not necessarily very good and you may have to spend some time changing them. This of course slightly defeats the software being automatic and it certainly means that it’s not as quick as you might think.

You also need to start with a good article. If your writing skills are poor automatic spinning will not improve them and it will just spin out even more poor articles.

Semi Automatic Spinning

Semi Automatic spinning software takes a little getting used to. You have to work through your article and put in different options for words. For example : “The dress she wore to the premier of the latest Bond film was stunning {beautiful| amazing| gorgeous}. The article is then spun using different options you have chosen at random. You need to watch very carefully that the sentences still make sense in the different versions when complete.

Manual Spinning

If you decided to manually spin your articles, all you’re doing is taking articles you have already written and manually changing some of the sentences, moving around paragraphs and perhaps restructuring the article. This may seem a slower option, but you do have more control of the changes that you decide to make, and you will become quicker with practice.

So is using article software good idea?

You certainly need to be aware of the advantages and the limitations or article spinning software before you purchase. You can't give up writing articles altogether, you have to have a starting point. But they can speed up the process and you can produce articles that don’t count as being duplicate content. However, they can be more time consuming than you think and you may have to spend some time rewriting to get the article to a quality that you want.

If you already struggle with article writing using spinning software will not make it easier. You need to have the ability to recognise or change any of the mistakes made by the spinner. I would say use them with caution. Some experts frown upon them, but they are very popular.

There are quite a few article spinning programmes available on the internet and I would recommend that if you think that it’s a viable option for you, then you try one out before you invest any money in one.
