Auto blogging is a relatively new concept that is sweeping the ‘make money blogging’ niche.
As all bloggers know when it comes to making money blogging, ‘content is king’. The more often you update your blog, is the more often the search engine spider will visit your site and index new content. If you do not update your blog regularly then your blog will eventually ‘die’ from a monetary perspective.
Step in ‘auto blogs’. An auto blog is effectively a ‘hands off’, ‘set and forget’ money making machine. It is the ultimate business model for creating passive income online.
Auto blogging involves the following 5 step process
Step 1: Select a niche
This is one of the most important steps in establishing a profitable auto blog. You need to perform research in order to discover lucrative niches. I have found that my most successful auto blogs are once that address a problem that people are having. This people are ‘desperately’ in search of information, and so they are willing to spend money to find a cure.
Blogs in these types of niches include; weight loss, acne, back pain and anything else which involves ‘emotions’.
Step 2: Decide on how you are going to monetize your niche
There are many different ways to monetize your niche. You could go the PPC route by using Google Adsense and append contextual ads to your content. You will then get paid every time some clicks on your ad.
You could use the ‘affiliate’ business model and append affiliate links or affiliate banner ads to your content. This can be a very lucrative form of monetization. The best sites to visit to get started here are Clickbank.com and CJ.com.
CPA or Cost Per Action is a monetization option that is becoming very popular. Effectively you get paid when someone visits your blog and performs a particual action such as visiting a site and completing a questionnaire.
WP Robot is a very powerful word press plug in that will automatically monetize your content. It performs this by automatically plugging your affiliate links, Adsense Ads, Amazon or Ebay ads directly into your content. This really is hands off passive income.
Step 3: Set up your blog
I strongly recommend that you set up a WordPress blog as this type of blog platform comes with the most robust features and plug ins suited to auto blogging. On top of that WordPress Blogs are optimized for the search engine spiders, and Google loves them.
You need to select suitable themes and focus each blog on a very specific niche. One of the most important aspects of auto blogging is that you will build individual blogs around specific keywords.
For example if your niche is ‘traffic generation’ then set up 5 different blogs for;
Video marketing
Article marketing
Social bookmarking
Pay Per Click
Social Media Optimization
Try and capture the keyword within the blogs url e.g. video-marketing-online.com.
Focus on keywords that have more than 1,000 searches monthly with less than 50,000 search results in Google. It is strongly advisable that you focus your auto blogs on long tail key phrases. This makes it much easier to get a good ranking. For example instead of ‘video marketing’ you could used ‘how to get traffic with video marketing’.
A very effective tool for finding high traffic / low competiton keywords is MicroNicheFinder.com.
Step 4: Install plug ins that automate everything
The core selling point for this ‘auto blogging’ business model is the fact it can be completely automated. This process is achieved by using ‘plug ins’ to pull content from various RSS feeds pertaining to your niche. As discussed some of the more powerful plugins will also monetize your content automatically.
I strongly recommend WP Robot as the #1 Plug for automatically turning your blog on complete auto pilot, and drip feeding it with fresh content at intervals specified by you. This amazing piece of software will suck content in from all over the web from resources that include; the article directories, Amazon, E-Bay, Yahoo Answers, YouTube and many more. It will instantly monetize the blog with your affiliate links, Google Adsense and more.
The posts will be fully targeted to any keyword you enter which greatly increases the keyword density on that blog. This will convince the search engine spider that your blog is an authority on this particular topic.
Step 5: Drive traffic to your blog
The final and crucial step is to drive traffic to your auto blog. The most effective methods for achieving this include; article marketing, video marketing, social bookmarking and social media optimization. All of these marketing activities will increase the number of backlinks pointing to your articles which boosts your search engine ranking.
Auto blogging is certainly one of the easiest ways to make money online because it is virtually completely ‘set and forget’. Yes, you will need to work to drive traffic to your blogs, but that is the case with any type of internet business.
