Self blogging with WordPress

Autoblogging is the concept of generating content for your site automatically. This means that you are not creating content yourself, uploading and publishing it to your site, searching for images, videos and affiliate products; everything is done on autopilot for you.

Autoblogging is a time and money saver if you want to create a lot of sites that generate income for you.

The first is the first

Autoblogs will not make you a millionaire. However, they will save you time. You must be realistic about your monetary expectations from your blog. I work on the principle that if a blog earns me five dollars a day, I’m happy. Some blogs make more, others make less.

You need to decide on the method of monetizing your blog. You should always do your research first to see if there are products that people are buying in your niche and affiliate products for you to promote.

You must install WordPress on your own domain and hosting account. WordPress has built in rss integration and this is necessary if you are going to collect content from the web and publish it on your own site.

You will need to use an autoblogging plugin. There are free and paid versions of these plugins. If you are on a budget, you can try Feed WordPress or WP Omatic. Obviously, the paid autoblogging plugins have more features and functionality than the free ones.

Once you’ve installed the autoblogging plugin of your choice, it’s time to source content from other sites and feed it to your autoblog plugin on your site. Be sure to read the terms of use of any site you intend to capture content on to ensure the webmaster has no objections.

Once you use an autoblogging plugin, you will find that you have a site that is constantly being updated with new content and affiliate products.

To separate your blog from the hundreds of autoblogs, you need to do some work. Just by doing some basic SEO and using SEO plugins like Headspace2, you can greatly improve your blog. This only takes a few more minutes, but can give you great results.

One of the great things about autoblogging is that once you’ve set it up, it really is hands-free. As long as you’ve done your niche and keyword research beforehand, it should take you less than 30 minutes to get up and running. I encourage you to spend some of that spare time doing some link building and adding unique content to your autoblog to make it a more valuable piece of virtual real estate.
