Who's doing 10k a month or better autoblogging?

14 years ago

blegh, too many of these crappy blogs out there, stealing feeds and creating content from others... thats not valuable or unique.

It's lazy

Blogging should be fun, if you have a passion blog about that, if you hate blogging altogether I suggest not bothering.

Thanks

Agree with Jay... real blogging can create a healthy income but there is work involved that goes beyond automation.

Let's not generalize. I have a couple real blogs so I understand what you are saying but there are autoblogs that are actually quite valuable because they aggregate and compile subjects for people in one place and with a little work you can make a very nice site which provides value this way.

THAT SAID.....

I'd really like to steer this thread clear of being a debate about an autoblogs merits. Can we please stick with the questions posed in the OP?

Thanks..

I think you see it wrong. I dont think that someone makes 10k from a few autoblogs ALONE - with the exception of someone who would own a blogfarm of 500-1000+ autoblogs.

The better use of autbologs is usually to use them to strengthen links and SERPs of a "real" blog..in my opinion..or maybe get a few bucks per blog from adsense. Its unlikely you build an "authority site" with a simple autoblog.

Obviously one of the BIG misconceptions of the word 'autoblog'. True, there are crappy/scraped/worthless types of these sites out there.

However, there are ways to make an automatically updated blog (or semi-automated) with high quality content and purpose. It is even possible to autoblog with your own unique, written material.

The OP even mentions doing this part of it.

So, overall, the word autoblog gets a bad rap, but in truth, an 'autoblog' can be anything that is automated. Just like email marketing can be spam or double opt in email.

I agree with Greg.

I have a lot of blogs that grow on auto-pilot using some of the "popular" plug-ins, and I make six figures from building micro niche blogs (which include automation). But, the way I use them may be a bit different than how most people teach auto-blogging.

I've pretty much outlined the whole process on my site for free <see Step 2 in my sig - no opt-in necessary>, including some videos.
