Juicing Up Your Brain But Still Enjoy Writing Articles

One of the most tormenting jobs I had is writing articles. I never enjoyed it, and it seemed my brain is already burnt out when I start to strike a key again. But not until I read about juicing up your brain's power while enjoying. 

Before I knew about this technique, I can write about five to six articles before my brain starts to cramp. After knowing this technique, I can write about 10 or more articles and can still make a blog for the day without the stress. This particular technique has been known to ma since its discovery. What I read about this technique is that it has been used by geniuses like Albert Einstein, Beethoven, Marie Curie, Thomas Edison and other great thinkers of all time.


So how could it be related to article writing? This technique simply enhances your brain waves. Basically, when our mind is coupled with stress and pressure, it's brain waves can be compared to Britney Spear's dead hair flying all over as the blower starts to power up on her face. So basically, it's a mess. 


This techniques will enable your brain to be neutralized and produce alpha and gamma waves. Alpha and Gamma waves are the brain waves that induces creativity. These are the waves that are our brains produce during after sleeping. That is the reason why, when we study right after we sleep, we have a good retention of the subject being studied or memorized. 


So what is this technique? It is sometimes called the Mozart Effect or the Baroque Effect. It is the technique of listening to a baroque music while writing or doing mentally-engaging chores like memorizing, studying, or meditating. 


Yes, you can download a lot of baroque music in the internet and you can play that as a back ground while you are doing your stuff. I personally, don't like the idea of listening to it. It is just a plain musical instrument usually piano and violin. But after trying it and seeing the benefits, I am getting excited about it. I am enjoying every moment I am writing an article. 


Why don't you try it your self? What particular music to download? Just type in "baroque music". I personally listen to Mozart's, Beethoven's, and Chopin's. Try Swan Lake it's also nice. Good luck and enjoy writing!

0.5$ to 1$ per Article Compensation for Article Writers

If you think 0.5$ or 1$ for a single 500-word article is already enough to compensate article writers, well think again. Try writing a quality, SEO optimized, emotionally engaging 500-word article and tell me if you are cool being paid with 0.5$ to 1$ per accomplished work. I just recently saw a job post in an online outsourcing site (will not be mentioned) looking for article writers in the Philippines and is willing to pay 4$ an hour. I said to myself, 4$ an hour is a great compensation for starters, but here’s the catch, you have to write 5 to 6 SEO quality 500-word articles in an hour for you to be paid 4$ in that said hour. Can you imagine yourself writing 5 to 6 SEO Optimized, 100% original and High quality articles in an hour(unless you are using article spinners with super low quality, non-sense articles)? Doing the Math (I will do it for you, I know some of you hates Math) that would be 0.67$ to 0.8$ an article or that is equivalent to 32$ in a day’s work. 32-dollar-a-day work? That’s not bad, that’s great! But then again, before you will be paid with 32$ you have to deliver 40 articles in that same day for 8 hours.

Oh c’mon why are you bugging yourself, we need money, and any amount will do even for a dollar an hour. Again will stress out the amount of work and effort versus the compensation is not balanced. I wrote this to express three things:

First: Writing an article is not an easy task. You need to be very creative and takes years of practice to master a good command in vocabulary, grammar and spelling. Even professional high-paid editors also commit mistakes, just compare ourselves. If you (addressing to outsourcing employers and clients) are looking for an ace writer who can deliver a high quality, 100% original and SEO optimized articles then pay them fairly. Pay them bad, and you will reap what you deserve.

Second: Articles or contents can be compared to the main course dish in a fine dining setting. It is the reason why search engines index your site, the reason why visitors go to your site giving volumes of traffic that will eventually be converted into leads and from leads into customers and customers into profit. In short, articles (quality or not) are your source of a long-term residual income as long as you keep your site up and running. So it is only fair enough to pay your writers well since you(referring to outsourcing employers) will having the full rights of the articles created, and you will eventually receive residual and even exponential income out from it.

Lastly, In conclusion, Article writers in the Philippines seemed to be so underpaid. The average rate in outsourcing sites for article writers ranges between 1$ to 2.5$ depending on the length. I am not against per result or per article basis of payment; it is just that, it is way too degrading especially for ace writers who can produce top quality articles. I just can’t imagine people pays 0.5$ per 500-word or more article and expects so much from it.

And because of stiff competition and unemployment, even ace article writers are forced to accept offers for such amount. Writing with twisted fingers is such an agony for writers like me, good thing I am compensated well, but how about those talented newbies? The solution for such a pain you ask? Well online ninja’s don’t do these and should not be doing these, continue reading here.

Reasons Why Filipino Online Workers Look for more than One Employer

Outbound outsourcing employers keep wondering why online Filipino workers engage in having multiple employers. I will lay down to you why some online Filipino employees have more than one employer:

First: Financial Security. Let us face it, the string that holds both of you working together is TRUST and it is a very important thing when working online. Pinoy online workers tend to look for another employer in the fear of losing a job. Reasons like scamming employers where they get no pay after the month’s work could be the worst thing could happen to a worker. So in order to have a security financially, looking for another job or employer is the best thing to do. Here’s the Ninja advice, talk to them personally. Let them meet former employees that you had or let them read feedbacks or reviews about you (if available) for you to gain respect from your employees. Another Ninja Tip, try posting a video blog of yourself for your employees to know that you are real and not a scammer.

Second. Inadequate Compensation. You might not be giving the right price for your employers, so they try to look for another job or employer to satisfy their needs. 200-250$ of income every month with 40 hours per week requirement could be enough for a while but make it increasing. Ninja, try to give them a salary increase either every month or every week (if a certain production is highly satisfied or surpassed). That could give them more motivation to work more and only for you.

Third. Delayed Salary. We work because of the pay and not for the delay. Workers could understand delay, but never make it a hobby to delay ones or else they will find another employer or worse leave you. Here’s the Ninja tip, make your salary bi-monthly or weekly(for newly hired), then eventually, you may agree to make it bi-monthly(to reduce money-transfer cost). Monthly Compensation is less motivating for online workers especially if they are newly hired.

Fourth. Too Demanding or Too Lenient. If you are too demanding or too lenient, the tendency for the employee is to look for another employer to quench their need. If you are too demanding, they will look for a less demanding employer. If you are too lenient, they will tend to look for more adventurous employers.

Fifth. Poor Relationship. This could be the most important among the five reasons. If you see your employees as robots, they will then see you as a mere battery. Employees also have emotions and feelings that need to be fed up. If you are an employee with a good reputation and giving your employees the right compensation timely but without a good working relationship with your employees, they would still look for another job. You need to start building relationship, treat them as friends and as your partners in your business not just mere employees.

These are just five simple but lethal reasons for your business to fail because employees tend to leave you or lack focus on your tasks due to multiple employers. Learn how to turn things around and be a ninja employer.

5 Fast and Effective Re-Writing Methods

In order for your page content not to be indexed as plagiarized or “copy-pasted” here are the 5 simple and effective ways on how to re-write an article fast and easy:

1. Keep the meaning of your text very close to the original article. It is very necessary to stick to the idea of the original content. Re-writing an article can also be compared to as being trapped in a quick-sand. Try to bear with it instead of fighting against it and your life will be spared. Try not to add your own idea so that you will not be trapped in the quick sand of thoughts.

2. Make it Less wordy. (Avoid using "flowery” words). Try to convey your ideas straight forwardly. Adding flowery words to make your content look long is not helpful. Try to remember KISS, Keep It Short and Simple.

3. Avoid unusual expressions. Using idiomatic expressions without explaining why you used that expression in your content or article will not help your readers. You will just leave them blank. Use words and expressions that are very reader-friendly and can be easily understood. Using the equivalent synonym of the word from the original article will not also help you if it doesn’t fit in the context of the sentence.

4. The number of words should be close to the original content. It could be 10-15% more but no need to fill your article with "filler" sentences. This is simply a reminder of the tip/guideline number 2.

5. Keep keyword density to 2-3%. Keyword density is the ratio of a keyword over the total number of words in the article. It is the percent count of how many times a keyword has occurred in the entire content. Say for example you have a 500-word article and in the entire article, the keyword phrase ‘eating disorder’ was mentioned 10 times. To get the keyword density, it would be 10(number of keyword occurrences) divided by 500(total number of words) then multiply the quotient by 100(to get the percentage) so that is 2%. Download and use \Dupefree Pro to immediately check keyword density. It also compare the two articles for duplication and plagiarism. A video tutorial on how to re-write an article can be seen here.

You might have heard also about article or word spinning. We will discuss “Article Spinner: To Use or Not to Use?” which will give you a clear overview of what is article/word spinning and why should or should not use it.

re not copying verbatim but you are copying thought by thought. It is considered as a way of appreciating others’ work.

What is an article writer?

An Article Writer is an online worker specialized in writing content for a specific niche or topic. This particular job entails high level of written English communication skill.

What are the skills needed?

But being an expert in grammar and spelling is not enough skills to be an effective article writer. One should also possess a good SEO skill that means a good utilization and optimization of keywords in the entire article. One should also have a basic knowledge, but not a requirement, in areas of article submission, sites like ezine, wordpress, hubpages goarticles and alike are few of the sites where articles are submitted.

What are responsibilities of an article writer?

Basically, an article writer is responsible in writing articles in a particular niche, keyword, or topic. Aside from writing, he or she might also be asked to set-up accounts in article submission sites. An original article may also be asked to be re-written to be submitted in those said sites.

Is Online Article writing the same with Published Essay writing?

In terms of structure, both articles look the same but basically they are not. A 500-word published essay is designed to be read and fully understood from top to bottom for around three (3) to five (5) minutes. While on the other hand, Online Articles should only be read and understood from top to bottom for about 30 seconds. This is achieved by laying down very important information and avoiding flowery or filler words to make it look long.

What makes a good article?

A good article should be search engine optimized, that means its content is fully relevant to its title, topic and niche. Keywords and main thought should be found on the main sentence, with supporting sentences and examples. Keyword density of the topic is also very important and should only be in the bracket of around 2-3%.

How long should an article be?

Average and optimized length of an article is in the 500-word count. 300 words is the minimum word count for a short article to be considered serious by article submission sites. 750 words is the maximum length of an article to make it readable to general audience. Longer articles tend to be boring thus 750-word is the best limitation of length.

What is the salary expectation?

There can two common ways an article writer is compensated. The first way is thru quota basis and the second one is the per-article basis. There are also freelancers who accept per-project basis, this is for non-permanent positions and are paid right after the submission of the project. In quota basis, to be paid with a fixed rate monthly, bi-monthly or weekly, a specified number of articles or quota should be hit. Say for example, in order to be paid 250$ a month, an article writer should write 5 articles a day for 5 days to hit 100 articles per month. Per-article basis is calculated depending on the output or number of articles produced. This is the best way of paying article writers on the starting level because of its low-risk rate. You only pay what you get and be paid on what you write. An article normally cost 1.5$ to 10$ depending on the length, quality and complexity. Some might even go higher than 10$ and some might even get lower than 1.5$ depending on the specification of the desired output.
