I Use Content Composer

I use Content Composer, have done since it first came out many months ago. It is a very useful tool for managing the process of content creation. It is hard to see how JetSpinner could suggest that Content Composer is a clone of their product, not least because CC has been around for longer, I think, than JetSpinner and the other basic spinner clones that have recently sprung up like mushrooms on a damp morning.Like all tools this one will do nothing by itself and so you will read no claims of results in terms of money made or rankings achieved from me. Just as I make no claims as to the search engine rankings attributable to my computers - they are just tools!I use Content Composer to manage my work flow. On an individual level I use it to write articles that are targetted to keywords and phrases, where I get feedback as to how the article is shaping up in terms of the content and structure. I use the built in content database to seek research, ideas and beat writers block. The raft of thesauruses (thesaurii ?) help me to find appropriate words.
If I want to generate multiple copies of content then I use CC to insert keywords from my keyword lists, produce variable titles and different versions of the article, this done in various ways according to my needs.
Sometimes I use a more basic tool such as PLR Spinner from Cuztech or Content Spooler for rapid, basic hit ‘n run tasks. These tools certainly have a place.
I am just starting to get to the point of managing other people’s work and here there are more tools to help me. I already use the plagiarism detector and the comparison tools, but soon I will be providing ghostwriters with a copy of Content Composer Lite, a version of the software that is designed to enable users to write content to my specifications and in such a way that the output meshes with my needs. So they will have my keyword lists, be able to see how well they are doing at meeting my goals and I will be happy because I get the content in a form I can use without re-editing to get rid of double line spaces, fixed width formatting, junk top and bottom and horrid smart quotes, no more encoding issues either.Users of Article Announcer, Themezoom, Orwell and PortalFeeder will like the integration with those systems. If you are not likely to be interested in such tools then, well, CC is likely not your bag either.

This is not a tool for all. If you are simply rattling off a few articles and want to get a few easy variations then, yes use JetSpinner et al, the cheaper the better. If you want to use a system that will help you manage and grow your business by providing requisite functionality then Content Composer may well be a smart bet. In terms of the package the price is very viable. Unique product creating a new market niche and saving loads of management and creative time

Just go to Content Composer’s salespage to find out more!
Oh, I just checked, there is a money back guarantee. If you have the money but are not sure then take Content Composer for a test drive. If it is useful, then keep it,  if not well, just take advantage of the refund guarantee.

Spin Ready PLR is Available Now.

A short while ago Spin Ready PLR, from the ContentComposer guy, Jason Potash, opened their doors. I only just now had the chance to look the over over, it looks very good.

I am not going to recover everything in the offer but this is not just about Spin Ready content to plug into Content Composer so that you can avoid duplicate content filters. There is much more. Among the ‘goodies’ are audio books, graphics, free version of Content Composer and a cool extra in the form of advertorials to enhance the clickthrough rate to the researched affiliate programs.

Membership to SpinReady is capped at 350 members to preserve the value and it looks to me that this is well worth a read of the veeeeery long sales page.

Please, take a look while the opportunity is there. (Guess who is now a member ;) )

I’d look at this as an opportunity to outsource your content creation without breaking the bank.

Free ContentComposer? Surely Some Mistake!

What if I told you that later today you could get ContentComposer for free…

‘What’s the catch?’ would, I am sure, be the response.

Well here’s the deal. In all honesty I don’t know too much but what I know I will share along with the all important link to visit on Friday 25th January at 12 Noon, Eastern Time.

Jason Potash the guy behind Content Composer and Article Announcer has been running a small scale Private Label Rights operation for users of Content Composer. The business is called Spin Ready PLR and what they do is provide users of ContentComposer with PLR articles every month. The unique feature of these articles is that they are already set up to run in ContentComposer so it is a piece of cake to create truly unique content for your websites and blogs. No more duplicate content worries, even if you never rewrite a single article!

Normally with PLR the users must share the articles with hundreds, if not thousands of other users unless the content is rewritten, by hand, over 70% of PLR users rewrite some or all of the articles that they buy. Spin Ready PLR provides the users with content that, as soon as it comes out of Content Composer is unlikely to be the same as any other user’s content. Jason even limits the numbers of subscribers to his membership to control this aspect.

What this means is that every member of Spin Ready PLR gets unique content, written by humans and of uniformly high quality. Hundreds, even thousands of articles ready for blogs, ezines, newsletters and websites.

But the downside was that in order to use this resource you had to own ContentComposer. Well, not any longer. Jason has introduced a version of Content Composer specifically for members of SpinReady PLR and on Friday at 12 noon the doors open to enable just a few - I understand less than 100 - people to join Spin Ready PLR.

Now, do not misunderstand, this version of Content Composer is designed to be used with Spin Ready PLR and is not fully functional, it does not in any sense replace the full version of CC that costs hundreds of dollars, just the transform functionality and some of the editing is available but the real opportunity here is access to this unique and high quality content. (and a chance to get an idea of why hundreds, if not thousands of people use Content Composer every day!)

Here is an idea of the numbers involved:

Spin Ready PLR provide 200 seed articles each month. Used without additional editing this gives up to 7200 articles output. With additional editing this figure increases and ensures that the chance of somebody else using the same content is negligable to zero.

I don’t know how the niches are broken down, but assuming 10 niches of 20 articles, that gives the opportunity to have about 700 unique articles pointing at each of your niche sites - how many blogs can you set up to run automatically all with valuable niche content, all pointing at your main sites.

This solves a load of problems in one fell swoop.

No more duplicated content.

No more rubbish machine rewritten content.

Sites that you an be proud of.

I like this concept. :)

So, take a look at the Spin Ready PLR site when they open at noon Eastern time today and be quick before all the slots go. Then use the profits from your new sites to buy a ‘full’ version of Content Composer - then it really will seem free!

Free Software to Support Your Websites/Blogs

Yesterday I got word from Jason Katzenback at PortalFeeder that they had just released to the public a piece of software previously available only to Portal Feeder members. The software is called CommentKahuna (within PF we call it PortalCommentFeeder which maybe gives a hint as to its purpose).

CommentKahuna is free to anyone, you just need to give up an email address.

So, what’s the scoop?

Comment Kahuna is designed to make it easier for webmasters and internet marketers to gain one way backlinks to their websites and blogs. The software does this by seeking out blogs that have posts with open comments that match keywords chosen by the user. Basically, if I have a page on the subject of ‘article marketing’ then I’d search out blog posts that have posts on the same topic, then I’d post a relevant comment that adds value to the post and include a link to my own page. Assuming that the comment is approved, and many are approved automatically, then one gets an instant backlink from a related page - Just what the search engines want to see when ranking your webpages and sites.

CommentKahuna goes further than just doing this task; you can select blogs according to PageRank and, in order to expand the range of results, most popular blogging software such as WordPress, MoveableType, Typepad and others are included in the results.

Other people are selling comparable software for anything up to $97. CommentKahuna is a real product that does a real job of building links and traffic to your pages and blog commenting software should be a part of every article marketer’s toolbox.

Please, give it a try, even if you already have something similar. Elsewhere I promoted a similar tool but have found that CommentKahuna was a tad easier to use and certainly faster in operation.

Article Writing - Avoid Plagiarism Complaints

With the rise in spun or rewritten article submissions has come a new problem. Article directories that insist on original content and actively check for it - sites such as EzineArticles.com are now suspending user accounts for using plagiarised content in their articles.

Sometimes the suggestion is justified - too many people still think that changing a few words in a PLR article makes it unique and gives them copyright.

However, many users of rewriting tools are simply the victims of circumstance. What happens is that the writer researches and creates a genuinely original article, written in his own voice and with an orginal slant. Then the writer uses Content Composer or other rewriting or spinning tools to create multiple versions of the same article - again a valid approach.

The problem is that with some/most tools all that happens is that the writer makes several versions of the article and then the phrases or sentences are mixed together from the different versions, creating many new versions of the article. When these articles are submitted then any plagiarism detection tool will pick up that a particular phrase has been used in more than one version of the article and it is flagged as being plagiarised/copied work.

ContentComposer is not so likely to have this problem as it uses both substitution at the phrase/sentence level, but also at the individual word level - one of the  reasons it is so useful for creating good articles from the LSI (latent semantic indexing) perspective.

But, even users of Content Composer can come unstuck!

However there is a solution.

Keep a paper trail/audit trail of all your work. Some tools make this easier than others, but when EzineArticles ask you to prove that your work is really your own some kind of record is very handy!

Ona simple level, PLR Spinner from Cuztech enables the user to simply cut and paste all the intro paragraphs into a single text file. Showing any enquirer the dated list of paragraphs and titles should suffice.

With Content Composer a simple copy/paste of the original document setup window with its tokens should demonstrate what has been done and a copy of the text file itself would be confirmation. The important thing is to keep these records and not to discard them just because the article has been used!

As the article marketing enviornment becomes more sophisticated we need to keep up to date with developments and use tools that enable us to manage change within our internet marketing business.

Why Did I Stay With PortalFeeder For 15 months?

When PortalFeeder 1.0 launched about 15 months ago it was great concept but not everything was perfect. I really don’t know why things started off as they did. But Marc and his team rapidly got the software doing what it was supposed ot do.

At the time, my money was very tight and my subscription spent on software that was, initially, barely functional was quite a stretch. I was very close to cancelling my PortalFeeder subscription. I am very happy to say that I did not, in the end, cancel. Looking back there was one reason why I did not give up on Portal Feeder. Whether by luck or design we had a very lively forum and user community; possibly because of the issues we faced in getting our projects to work. I chose to continue my payments because of that community. I was getting a rapid training course in internet marketing, site building, HTML, strategy and many other topics. It came because we shared.

Today the PortalFeeder community is, if anything, even stronger; it has been welded into a vital part of the PortalFeeder business concept. Some members have said that the subscription cost was good value for the Portal Feeder community alone.

Over the 15 months since I joined PortalFeeder I have gone from worrying about meeting the monthly subs for the system to making a decent living from my internet based  activities. I use my PortalFeeder training and tools every day for my own benefit and for the benefit of my clients.

As a sidenote, nowadays when looking at a new product or service offering, unless it is of negligable impact on my business or of tiny cost, I always want to know about the community aspects of the offering. This has been a valuable lesson from the PortalFeeder business system (not just software!)

Come on over, sign up for the pre-registration list, read the PortalFeeder blog, get a feel for what is going on here!

Questions about Article Announcer and Duplicate Content Checking.

From another forum to which I contribute comes the inspiration for this post about Article Announcer and the ContentComposer duplicate content checker.

A poster asked about Article Announcer being featured in one of the ContentComposer demo videos. Confusion had arisen because Article Announcer was featured in submitting content to article directories. So I felt I’d address the issue here. Article Announcer is a premium article submission tool, one of its leading benefits is that one can submit different versions of articles to article directories and thus avoid any possible issues in respect of duplicated content filters.

Article Announcer is one of Jason Potash’s products so it seems to me to be perfectly sensible for him to feature it in his promotional tools. Content Composer does mesh very nicely with Article Announcer and the ‘Auto-rotate’ functionality but there is not any NEED for AA in a ContentComposer environment. In fact, the competing Article Post Robot also enables the use of multiple versions of articles to article directories and it is much cheaper than Article Announcer. Although it is not as complete a system, APR is a very fine piece of software.

So, among the most important benefits that one might look for in an article submssion software to be used with ContentComposer is the ability for the submitter to handle different versions of the article.

At the same time a question was raised about the use of the plagiarism detector in ContentComposer. A suggestion was made that its primary reason for being was to enable Content Composer users to more easily get away with plagiarism. This is not so.

The plagiarism detector is a part of the content management toolbox. As our businesses grow we start to need to source our own content; we outgrow PLR and syndicated sources as sole suppliers and need to employ our own writers, usually as freelancers. Sadly, not all of these writers are entirely honest and they will try to re-use content or fob the buyer off with plagiarised material. Very sensibly ContentComposer incorporates a tool to help manage this real issue. Of course, the owner of CC can also use it to compare his own writing with that of his source materials, a perfectly legitimate use. Of course though, like almost any tool, ContentComposer’s plagiarism detector can be used for bad purposes and also aid the determined copyright infringer.

I suggested to the poster that if the first and lasting impression of the use of the plagiarism detector was to enable ContentComposer users to get away with plagiarism then his business was probably not at the stage of development to warrant buying into this content management tool. ContentComposer is NOT suitable for every business at every stage of its development. Chances are that if there is no content strategy in place then CC will not be fully occupied, although for businesses growing and systematising ContentComposer probably makes a lot of sense as a tool for now and the future.

For readers of these posts, please remember, ContentComposer is not just an article rewriting tool. Whilst content spinning is a part of ContentComposer’s functionality, the reason for the existance of CC is as a tool for managing the content creation process from end to end.

Andrew.

Interview with PortalFeeder ‘Supremo’ (that’s Jason not me!)

A few days ago Jason Katzenback of PortalFeeder asked me to have a chat with him about a site I had built a few weeks before and which had used techniques and tools from PortalFeeder.  He knew that I had, using techniques and tools from PortalFeeder, built a site and had it spidered and indexed by Google within a very short time and then taken front page rankings for all the targeted keywords. He asked me if I minded sharing the site and the technques with him. 

In this video I share my methods. I hope that you find it of interest.

I Have A Complaint About Portal Feeder!

So far, we’ve pointed out why you should grab a PortalFeeder 2.0 membership when they become available soon. My question to you is…”Are you ready to become successful with your online endeavors?”
Seriously, do you think you’re ready to start turning around your lack of success online or more to the point, can you handle it? I’m really serious about this because I’ve seen it so many times; opportunity knocks on the door of a person’s mind, they know it’s what they’ve been waiting for yet, at the last minute, they sabotage their chances of success for reasons only known to them.
Portal Feeder is the opportunity train about to pull up at your station. You do either one of two things: get on or simply let it pass you by and wait for the next big opportunity to head down the tracks. When that is I don’t know but let’s say it’s in 12 months time. You’re still struggling to earn a dollar online. Imagine if you had joined Portal Feeder and spent that 12 months applying the extensive training and promotional tools available to you. How far down the online success track would you be?

It happened to me 15 […]
