Just wanted to give an update on how Quick Spinner development was going along. It took a little longer then I hoped to get all the initial features I wanted in (and to fix a few nasty bugs) but I finally got most of what I wanted done last week. Quick Spinner now supports saving and applying tokens, ala Magic Article Rewriter. This should making spinning your articles a whole lot easier, once you have built up your database of tokens.

I’ve currently made Quick Spinner available to a group of beta testers, who are pounding on the app as we speak. This should help me discover and squash many more bugs before I open the doors to the public. I think Quick Spinner is going to become the best article rewriter and spinner available, so check back in a week or so when it gets released.

Marty S from WarriorForum created an excellent video showing off Power Article Rewriter and My Article Network. It is a good example of how the right tool can make article spinning so much simpler. So how is Quick Spinner going to compete against Power Article Rewriter? Notice at the end of the video where Marty has to perform several manual steps to get his spun article into the proper My Article Network format. With Quick Spinner, it is just one click. Just spin your articles once, and it will be ready to go into whichever article submission services you are a member of.

I currently have a working prototype of Quick Spinner, which I am currently testing on a variety of article submission services that I am a part of. What I am doing right now, is taking the thirty articles I had already submitted to Article Automation and I have been using Quick Spinner to export AMA spun text into a format compatible with Unique Article Wizard. UAW is a great service, but it usually takes a significant amount of effort to prepare articles for submission and I am really liking the time saved while using Quick Spinner. As an added bonus, I can then import this same output directly in Magical Article Submitter. That’s about 1200 extra links with about 10 minutes of extra work. Not too shabby.

If you are curious to see what Quick Spinner looks like, here is a screenshot. The interface is not set in stone yet, so things may change when I finally release the tool.

Quick Spinner In Action

I have been making money online for a few years now and I have a number of sites that rank very well in the search engine rankings for the keywords I am targeting. What is my secret? Article Marketing of course. I don’t depend entirely on it, but a huge part of my backlinking strategy is to write articles and submit them to various article directories like EzineArticles and GoArticles. Each article would include a link back to my site using my chosen keyword as the anchor text, and over time, my site would slowly rise up in the rankings.

When I first started, I did everything manually, both writing the articles and submitting them. Submitting articles to each article directory was a time consuming process and I would submit the same, exact article to the handful of directories I was submitting to. As I started to see results and make more money with my sites, I then moved onto more automated solutions like Unique Article Wizard and AMAutomation. These services cost a bit of money, but they let you write your articles using a specific spinning format, and will submit variations of your articles to thousands of sites. This is seriously one of the fastest ways to build links to your sites.

The problem with all this, is still the effort involved. Writing an article in the spun format takes me personally almost twice as long as a regular article. You will quickly find that manually inserting the spinning syntax in your articles become a big pain when you do this every day. And when something like this becomes tedious, you tend not to do it is as often as you would if the same process was quick an easy.

I came across a software product that makes writing these spun articles easier called Power Article Rewriter. If you watch the demo video, you will see how much more efficient it makes writing these spun articles. I tried the trial version and I was quite impressed. However, I decided not to buy it, because it didn’t meet a couple of my requirements. First of all, it is for Windows only. Although I understand why they do it, as a Mac user it irks me that I can’t use it on my main machine. Yeah, I know about Parallels, VMWare, etc, but that is still extra effort to load up. I want a tool that I can use wherever I am. Second, it only supports a specific spinning syntax. As a member of several of these article submission sites now, I require a tool that will support the different spinning syntaxes of each. The more I can leverage a single article, the better my rankings will be.

Thus, the idea for Quick Spinner was born. Quick Spinner is a web based article spinner that will work similarly to Power Article Rewriter. However, I am making it even easier and faster to use. Plus, it will be compatible with almost any article submission service so you can spin articles in whatever format you like. Quick Spinner is still under development by myself, but I hope you will consider checking it out when it’s done. I’ve made good progress on it so far, and I honestly feel that it will be one of those tools that no article marketer can live without. If you signup on the form in the sidebar, you will be updated when Quick Spinner goes into beta. Beta testers will get free, lifetime access to the tool, so don’t miss out on the opportunity.
