Help Make Your Content Rewrites Fresh And Educational

By Ginger Taylor


While creativity plays an important role in writing original articles, rewrites also require a level of unique thought. Article rewrites should be of high quality and must read original and fresh. Even though your articles are drawn from works that have already been written, it is important that your new articles are accurate translations of the old material presented in a creative and fresh way.

Outline your goals before you start rewriting. Knowing where you're going is the first step to achieving great article rewrites. Will you want the article rewritten more than once, or will you only need a single rewrite? Decide which aspects of the original are crucial to the goal of the rewrite, and what can be scrapped. Improve your focus throughout the writing process by keeping your goals and outline in the forefront of your mind.

When rewriting an article, it's quite possible to encounter a saturation point where the creation of sufficiently unique content becomes challenging. Be that as it may, it's worthwhile aiming to produce two or even three versions of the original content because this gives you a broader range of options from which to choose when finalizing the content and structure of your new article. By rewriting the article several different times, you will also be able to post the new articles on several different sites and you won't need to worry about having duplicate content.

Do not plagiarize. Your rewritten articles should not be duplicates of any articles or other rewrites. Plagiarism will tarnish your and your site's reputation. Posting articles that can be read somewhere else also defeats the purpose of rewriting, which is to produce fresh articles that will engage more readers. You might believe you can outsmart people, but you can't. Plagiarism is simple to detect. Providers like Copyscape can easily pinpoint plagiarism and point fingers directly at the guilty party, against whom legal action can be taken.

Do not plagiarize. There should be absolutely no duplication of content from either the original or any other article. Plagiarizing content will give you a bad reputation and make your website appear untrustworthy and unethical. Posting articles that can be read somewhere else also defeats the purpose of rewriting, which is to produce fresh articles that will engage more readers. Often rewriters make the fatal mistake of thinking that the duplication will not be discovered. Plagiarism is simple to detect. There are tools such as Copyscape that can determine if your article is original or a duplicate.

For optimum results, introduce changes that will guarantee the production of an article that is different from the existing text, and yet keeps its main thesis. For example, you may alter the order of items in a series as long as the list can be recast without affecting the intended meaning. Another way to rewrite that list is to present it as a paragraph.

Pay attention to the structure of the article and make some revisions. For instance, shuffle the paragraphs or, better still, try combining two paragraphs or breaking up a single passage into two paragraphs. You should also consider changing the order of items in lists or enumerations. These tips will help you ensure originality in your rewrite, with new words and a fresh layout that are greatly different from the original.

Moreover, do not settle for sentence-level rewriting. Give the article a new layout by restructuring the paragraphs. You can combine or break them down or rearrange their order. Remember that rewriting articles in a creative and interesting way means using your imagination and holding true to your superior quality standards. Examine your current rewriting procedures and re-tool them to meet your aspirations of creating new articles while still preserving the essential facts of the original piece.
