__________________________________________________ ___

Because I'm tired of hearing about how people can't make money online because they don't have any money to invest to get started, I made this quick video. This is just one of many ideas you can take action on without spending a nickel. Set up the blogs as I show, ping them, get some social bookmark links. You can set one of these up every day and do all you need to do. Set and forget in about an hour. Spend one lousy hour a day on this if you're just starting out. It's all free, and if you stick to it, you will start to see some traffic. Then it's just a matter of making money from that traffic. Stick some Adsense ads on your blogs... Clickbank if it applies.... whatever you want.

The main thing is to take action consistently. And don't bother trying to make money from these blogs right away. Just spend your time setting up as many as you can. Go back a few weeks later and add Adsense or whatever you want once they're established and maybe getting some traffic.

One final point about this... This isn't going to make you rich. Not even close. But if you do this every day for a month or two, it can easily earn you enough in passive income to pay your car payment, electricity bill, gas, etc. every month. So stop looking for reasons to fail and TAKE ACTION!!! You (yes you!) can do this.

YouTube- Blogger Drip Feed With PLR Articles
#main internet marketing discussion forum #blog #blogger #build #empire #excuses #free
  • This is a really awesome idea..and i'm definitely going to do it right now haha I have a TON of PLR stuff that i have no use for. My only question is..would you recommend doing this for all of the articles? For example would u use all 25 articles on the blog and drip feed them for like 25 days or more? Or is there a limit.

    Also u said that you can ping them and do some bookmarking. Is that all for traffic generation? What I mean is..if you are building alot of these then you can't really focus on any real traffic generation methods right? So do you ping and bookmark every post as they are feeded through? Like do I bookmark and ping the first post..and then once the second posts I go and bookmark and ping that one? Wouldn't that get really hectic and time consuming once I have alot built?

    Please clear this up so that I can start asap. thanks for the idea :]

    • You're overthinking. I know because I do it all the dang time too! Set up as many drip feed posts as you have articles in that category. If I had 10, that's how many I'd post over about 10 days. If I had 100 all about the same topic, that's how many I'd set up over that many days.

      Re: traffic, this is a numbers game and the focus needs to be on more and more blogs, not link building. Just ping and social bookmark the first post when you post it. Once Google finds your new blog, they'll come back to see if you've updated it. When they see it being updated daily, they'll get into the habit of checking and indexing your new posts regularly.

      But look, these are PLR articles that you got for free (unless you have some good paid PLR already). A lot of other people have it and it's probably all out there and already in Google's index. Don't worry about that. Put your head down and keep adding new blogs. That's where you want to spend 95% of your time. The sheer volume will start netting your some traffic and then you can go back and start monetizing that traffic.

      Keep it simple! It will work. Steady, consistent, daily action is the key.

  • ahh I see..alright i'll set up my first blog right now. THanks alot :].
    One more question about monetization. Do you have any ideas what works best? Like since it's a blog it would probably be best to just set up a banner for any affiliate offers I have that work with it right? But should i run adsense as well? Do the two work well together?

    • the best way is to test and see what is works best for your blog readers, for example try to use adsense image ads for a week and do the same with link ads for about a week and see when did u earn the most
  • Well you know I'm gonna recommend Adsense. I'm all about the Adsense, ya know.

    But think about that later on. Your early goal is to do this daily until you have maybe 40-50 blogs out there. Only then would I even think about how to make money from them. Something to consider here is that if you stick Adsense up right away, you run the risk of a human editor seeing your many blogs and raising red flags. You want to show any curious eyes that these are just good old informational blogs early on.

    • Now who would have guessed adsense from you :-).


      This is not limited . Think about it

      It is a adsense haven. A affiliate marketers dream. Easily build a list . did anyone say anchor text linked to your money site (100 articles


      hmmmm 200 back links 0h wait a minute times that by 50 blogs )

      • [ 2 ] Thanks
    • Very true. I always let a new site sit for a few months before I put any AdSense on it.

  • alright thanks john
  • John, you just gave a secret away for all web 20 sites . Going back after indexing and then adding your links is always a great idea .

  • John, another good post and I see you're getting your money's worth out of Jing

    (good product and you're the one who convinced me to get it too last year) (reminds me that the license renewal is about up)

    Anyway, love your post and I too have been pushing Blogger as a quick and easy approach to getting sites up fast with very little effort.

    Adsense is a great idea but I would also add that Amazon has jumped on to Blogger too. They, Amazon, have an easy Gadget (Blogger's version of the Widget) that you can put up alnog with the Adsense.

    If you have a bunch of PLR on "gardening" then put an Amazon Gadget for "Garden Tools".

    (in the words of an audience for a Ron Popeil Ronco infomercial) "Just set it and forget it."

    It's like easy money. And money is just as good as cash these days

      I can relate to this...that's how I ended up with Killer Joe. I needed a handle back then and I was listening to a Benny Golson jazz standard "Killer Joe" (I love that song ) and the rest has been history since the mid '90s.

  • As usual, the biggest obstacle is to much of thinking "how to make money" instead of doing something to make money.

    I applied the same principle and even today i profit from my 40+ sites that i built on the "1 site per day" method. And it doesn't have to be only blogs, this apply to anything. Let's face it, a *.info it's 1$ and 6$ per month unlimited domain hosting.

    • Hello,

    Someone here who disagree with this?
    • [1] reply
    • Why?

      The articles aren't being added to the site in one go, they are being drip fed over a period of time (over 3 weeks if spread out by one per day).

      • [2] replies
  • OK, just woke up and have some thoughts on some of the worries here...

    First, thank you Gary for carrying the water on this while I slept. LOL Second, it is legitimate to worry about how Google will respond to this. That's why you don't want to try to monetize it right away. Just set each blog up and drip feed content. Then go back later and work in some ways to monetize the traffic.

    Also, try using some of the free Blogger templates you can download at Blogger Templates Many of them remove the nav bar at the top (that includes the blog reporting link) without you having to change or add anything to the template. You can see an example of one of those templates in action on the sample blog I set up for this: Camera Bags And Cases

    That blog now has 25 PLR articles set to drip feed once every day or two for the next month or so. And I will not add any Adsense or affiliate links at all until at least 3 weeks go by. You need to let them age a bit and get more content on them first. The combination of using a custom template and not trying to make money right out of the gate tends to keep you flying under their radar.

    I do highly recommend that you change at least the titles of your PLR articles before adding them. It's even a good idea to change up the articles a bit, but that does take time when you're adding several articles to each blog. Just try to introduce a small amount of difference to each before you set them up to post.

    Also, consider setting up a new gmail account every few blogs. Just keep track of which blogs are assigned to each account and you won't present such an obvious footprint. Doesn't take more than a spreadsheet or even Notepad to keep track of it.

    Finally, you can do this same thing with cheap .info domains (about $1 each) and something like HostGator's Baby hosting, which is about $10/month for unlimited domains. I have about 100 domains on one $10/month acct with HostGator and have never had any problem of any kind. Easily one of the best values on the Web.

    As Gary reminded us all - this is about taking action NOW and not overthinking it all. I"m as guilty as the next person of falling prey to "analysis paralysis." You have to kick yourself into gear and just do it. If a few blogs get flagged or even removed, so what? Keep going and don't let one thing like that get in your way. Keep putting up new blogs with this drip feed system. Keep going back to add ways to make money from them after a few weeks. There is so much PLR out there you'll never run out. Trust me on that!

      • [1] reply
    • Blogger is good, but like you state, nothing beats having your own domain and hosting account, unless you get your web hosting for free...

      Not all free web hosts are the same. You can get just about everything that Hostgator offers using a free account that is perfect for implementing this plan: Full cPanel, no ads or banners, one-click wordpress installation, etc.

      So get a free account, install WordPress with a free theme, and you'll be on your way.

      The key (as everyone has stated before but it is worth repeating) is to TAKE ACTION! No more Excuses!
    • Woop! That site's been flagged.

      Why spend the dollar on a .info when you can do the same thing Blogger does: set up a subsite? At my host (Dreamhost), and I assume others, you can create as many subsites as you want on top of a domain for free. You just register, say, www.baldguyswithshades.com for $10 and you can quickly have cameralover.baldguyswithshades.com, bicyclerider.baldguyswithshades.com and so forth for free. You could get fancy and associate your subsites with the theme of the main domain name or pick very general domain name, as Blogger/Blogspot did.

    • Hi - I love this idea, but where can you get .info domains as cheap as that. Here in the UK they are $10 or so per year.

      Thanks for the great advice and nice simple plans. If you got a penny for every blog that got created by people after reading this post you'd be a happy man...

      How are your traffic stats? I think its great that you have built all these sites, but unless people are visiting them...

      I think what you said is the right thing to do. Pause for a few weeks and concentrate on link-building to the sites, so that they become visited. Without traffic they will just be virtual ghost-sites.

      Use this site (leave the options as they are by default) and your site will be indexed within 24 hours.

      http://seo.woothy.com/

      By the way , its not my site. Nothing to do with me, but I rely on it when I create a new domain. It works a treat. Always gets me indexed v quickly without doing anything else.
      • [2] replies
  • Allison,

    No. I've had them flagged before, but not very often. It helps I think to use one of the alternate templates as I mentioned earlier. The idea is to show them that you're not just trying to make money right off the bat, so don't put up any ads right away. And then if you use a custom template that just happens to not include the nav bar at the top, well you didn't do anything overt to remove it. It just came that way. It's when you go in with the intention of altering the templates they provide in the standard set-up that I think this may raise a flag.

    • I don't know if that's not good or not, but obviously it ties all the accts to you. It's a footprint. You might try clearing your cookies, shutting down your browser, and then opening it back up before you register each gmail account. I don't believe they do phone verification every time. So you might try backing out before completing a new acct set-up and starting over. I believe I read somewhere that can work.

    Zeus, I'm pretty sure every Gmail account requires text message verification. Would be interesting if there is some sort of virtual text message phone numbers for ultra cheap?? Something.
    • [1] reply
    • I've just created two new accounts in the last few hours and neither of them required any verification.

      As John (Zeus) suggested above, if they do ask for verification it's random so just back out, clear your cache and try again.

  • The drip feed is gold. I should've known about this a long time ago.
    • [2] replies
    • I use drip feeding on all my Wordpress based websites. Really its just post-dating, which makes sense.

      Newspapers do it.

      I also mix in 2-3 short "normal" blog posts between each PLR article (I rewrite mine, takes 5-10 minutes using method from Zeus) and I think this gives the site more content and it looks more "legit" to humans. Doesn't take much extra time. Have one piece of content drop per week or so, and you could very quickly post-date an entire years worth in very little time.
    • I knooooow!!!!

      Thank you Zeus66! Truly worthy of the name Zeus.
      • [1] reply
  • Thanks for the video... unfortunately getting a high ranking for this method would be pretty difficult, but lets say that you get 1 click per day (pretty generous in my opinion).

    For MOST topics, this will give you 5 to 15 cents (especially given that this is PLR).

    So, our income per month becomes $3.00/mo given the assumption of 10 cents per click per day for 30 days. Let's say we wanted more money than $3 (which most probably do)...

    To make $1000 extra a month, then you'd have to make roughly 333 blogs... which, given the assumption of 1/2 hour per blog, you can create 2 blogs per hour.

    so... 333 divided by 2 blogs per hour = ~167hrs to create all your blogs...divided by 40 (for a 40hr work week) is about one month to create all your blogs ... ONLY if you are working full time on creating them.

    $1000/167hrs means you are getting paid about $6/hr (below minimum wage). So while you are right you will make money by doing this method, I personally think my time is more valuable. Plus, you have to consider that after all X number of blog posts are done posting, traffic will likely decrease (and chances are your blogs will only get a few visitors anyway). Means more blog posts are needed to maintain relevance and to get in front of more people.

    My numbers of course are influenced by my assumptions, which are purposely realistic (or maybe a bit inflated)... now could there be exceptions to this? Yes, maybe. and of course I am assuming that clickbank isnt being used...

    regardless of all my rhetoric, you're right in concluding that money can be made with this method.



    SETUP = 30 minutes
    INCOME = 10 cents (assuming you get clicks from day one... which wont happen)

    • That's pretty much how I came up with "Boogie Jack" 13 years ago. I donated some graphics to a public domain graphics web site and they wanted to know who to credit the content to. This was when I first came online and didn't have my own website and no plans to build one. I was listening to a blues song and one of the lines was something like, "you can sure boogie, Jack." I picked that for the name to credit the images to.

      Later I was contacted by Ziff-Davis (ZDNet now) about including the graphics on a CD book insert. Then they were used in some computer games. By the time I got around to building a website "Boogie Jack" was known and I wasn't, so I opted to get a running start and use the alias.

      ...but you can earn from those blogs month after month, so each month the hourly wage goes up. That's why I like creating information products. Each sale raises the value of the time that I spent in creating it.

      Also, if you choose your niches well, you can make more per click than the amount you used in your example.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Yeah, I made a point of saying that this wasn't going to make anyone rich. This can easily pay a monthly bill or a car payment, though. And that's all a lot of folks who work a job are looking to do, especially in this poor economy. So no, don't look at this as a way to quit your job. But yes, it can be done 100% free (other than your time) and it can build up nicely over time if you keep at it. There are plenty of holes that can be poked through the model, but my whole reason for posting this was to give people something viable to make their first few dollars without any experience or money to invest.

  • This is an excellent thread. I am just getting started on line and am looking for ways to make some income. After reading the comments and watching the video my only question is "Could you make it any easier?"

    And for all those out there who are worried about Google pulling your blog, life can be a bit unfair especially when someone else wants to control it for you. Just pick yourself up and start again. Yes you lost what you had but, you still have the knowledge - use it.

    Michael
  • Zeus, well many people are just lazy and they don't work their butt off. But you are so kind to give this great info away!
  • Has anyone done this for several years, making at least six figures a year?

    I'm asking since by trying to be 'clever' you can never build a business. The posts are all based on using PLR content, posting them on free or nearly free blogs. Then using some techniques to get indexed in Google fast.

    Then I see Steven talking about "authority sites". A site without truly unique content and without a decent business plan will never become and stay an authority site. Simply because the whole 'money making technique' is based on building content as fast as possible.

    Don't get me wrong, building a site fast is good. But tricking the search engines and re-using old content is not. In the long run, you'll lose from real businesses!

    Just my 2c.

    • Blogger is getting tough on blogs they don't like.

      It might be upsetting to do all this daily and have them deleted.

      Why not a real blog you own and good keyword based content for one hour a day? This is the way to build a long lasting real business. It gives you lots of future options too.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • In my opinion, the longer term money is in building your own hosted blogs with domains that you own. That way you own the content and only you can pull the plug. Plus, as the domains and sites age, they are virtual real estate that you can sell on flippa or whatever site marketplace exists at that time.

      The blogger tip is a good way to get started - I think Zeus' main point was to get people to take action, so if you take away the obstacles of paying for a domain and hosting and just getting in the habit of putting up the articles, then it makes the transition to the next step easier.

      I have some blogs that received two months worth of posts in 2007 and they are still crawled weekly by Googlebot, so if I put any links on them, they'll get cached within a week - that's the kind of indexing and linking power you can build over time.

      Domains are cheap. Hosting is cheap. Google has free keyword research tools. The only thing stopping you is you.

    • This is the important part:

      Spam: Spam takes several forms in Blogger, all of which can result in deletion of your account or blog. Some examples include creating blogs designed to drive traffic to your site or to move it up in search listings and posting comments on other people's blogs just to promote your site or product.
  • Hi John,

    Congratulations and thank you for such a nice and useful post.

    Wow, even after mentioning this is not a huge money-making venture and not to get caught-up in the details, so many people cannot seem to get past their fears and just do it.

    Really who cares if Blogger removes your blog? The person who made their main site on Blogger and lost it made a mistake. Think of sites such as blogger, squidoo, hub pages, etc as throw-aways.

    Make your blogs quick, don't spend too much time on them. Use the power of back-linking to your other properties.

    The main idea is quit over analyzing and do something. Really John lays out the simplest plan I think I know of. If you can't do this, what really can you do?

    Here is a very simple 2 hours/day plan:

    Pop-out 5 of these a day for 20 days. Then go back and add your adsense and link wheels for the next 10 days. In one month you will have 100 blogs ready to make money. After that move on to something more challenging or keep at it - either way you've done something that should give some accomplishment and give you some gas money.

    Justin, your #'s are flawed. These blogs will be making money month after month, not just one time. I have simple sites that I created 2 years ago that used to make me $100/month, now down to $30-$40 per month (these are not on blogger, but still should work the same) . After a while you start to lose ranking bu not updating or other people simply making better sites that beat you out.

    But using your example $3/month/site is for the first month
    Then repeat, build 333 more site and now you make $2000 on month 2
    Repeat and now you make $3000 month 3
    See where this is going? After a year you make $12,000 per month.

    While that looks good on paper, numbers like that NEVER work, traffic starts to dwindle. Some sites simply never get enough traffic, etc. But you will average a good number.
    • [ 3 ] Thanks
  • If you're really that worried over losing some of these free blogs, then invest a tiny amount of money and do it on your own properties. Go get .info domains for under a buck each, set up unlimited hosting for about $10/month, and do this exact same process using a WP installation on your own domain. You're looking at a layout of less than $40 each month for a site a day. WP has many plug-ins to do exactly what Blogger does in terms of drip feeding content.

    So pay about $35-$40 per month and set it up this way. Consider the cost as a kind of insurance policy. You probably spend more each month on coffee.

    But really, if you take the suggestions I and others have made here in this thread, your risks are minimal that Blogger will take anything down. Use a custom (and free) Blogger template each time and don't start posting links to your money sites or Adsense ads or anything like that until the blog has aged awhile. I've not ever had a problem when I follow this plan. Not once. So take it or leave it.

    John

      I was outlining a plan to use your suggestions with a few twists of my own (I always have to add something...lol) and I was calculating domain costs. I can't believe I didn't think of using a cheap .info domain! I wouldn't use .info for my real money sites but they'd be perfect for this.

      Glad I came back to this thread now

  • I'd like to also add, that if you run out of PLR content for a particular blog, you can syndicate articles from article directories. Just be sure you keep the bio box intact. You can change up the content by adding an introductory paragraph before you post the article, such as, I really like this article I think the author did a good job of pointing out X, Y, and Z, etc...

    If you use ezinearticles for content keep in mind you're not allowed to change the title of the article. Also they have limitations on how many articles you can reprint:
    "you may not reprint more than 250 articles per year (10 sites x 25 articles reprinted per domain)."

    If you use 25 articles over 10 of these blogs that's almost a month's worth of free content for 10 blogs. You can use other article directories just be sure to check out their terms of service.

    Lastly, don't forget you can use some YouTube videos for content too. Just post a video and make comments about the video using related keywords. This is also a free and easy way to get content.

    Along those same lines, if you want to put a little bit of extra effort into it, turn your PLR articles into Video Articles (Don't do this with other people's articles it's against TOS only your PLR or your own written articles) and submit them to YouTube. You'll get some free traffic and backlinks by putting your URL in your video description from YouTube by doing this.

    • It really depends heavily on your keyword choices if you're talking about search engine traffic. I would definitely do some for every niche you put up a blog about so you're targeting the best phrases (search volume and low competition). Just alter the PLR you use to include the best phrases.

      No way to estimate traffic without knowing keywords and search volumes and competition analysis.

      Please note: these are only extra steps I would take if my goal was to spend a lot of time on this to build into a bigger income stream. For what I focused on in the video, it's too much work per blog. Just keep it simple and fast, as shown.

      Yes. but be careful. Don't put any links on your blogs for a few weeks. It'll help you avoid scrutiny and spam take-downs. The percentages drop way down when you wait and go back later to monetize or put in links to your money sites.

    • [1] reply
    • Yes, I figured it would happen because I made this thread and referenced it. No biggy. And that's kind of the point! So you lose a blog now and then. What are you out? Maybe a couple hours of your time setting it up. Plenty more where that came from. PLR is basically inexhaustible.

      John
  • Hi All,

    I am doing this for my PLR...Many thanks for the kick in the backside!

    I use PingMyBlog.com to get the blogs known and indexed, not associated with them in anyway, just found them very easy to use.

    Hope this helps.
  • Well you given me a good idea here John, I am going to try something and see what comes up, and maybe this puts me in control by the time christmas time comes up, seems simply enough and that is only watching your blog video for 5 minutes, thanks for the info. I'll let ya'll know what happens.
  • I gotta a question since I am taking action on this, you said after a few weeks you can add links for money like amazon or clickbank or what not right???
    • [2] replies
    • Yes, that's my advice. You'll be under the most scrutiny early on, so you want to show any prying eyes that it's just a blog about whatever. You're not trying to get links or make money. I usually wait at least 3 weeks and then go back and add some links or maybe Adsense. And even then, sometimes you'll get flagged and lose a blog. Don't let that bother you. Keep adding and don't look back. Seriously, if you just did one of these a day for a couple of months, you'd have a lot of blogs out there aging and some traffic starting to build up. Just don't get too greedy right away and you should be fine. Use them to build up some Adsense or Amazon or other sources of income. You can also use them to point links to your "money" sites for higher rankings. If you treat this as a business asset and not a "get rich quick" scheme, you'll be fine.

    • John the Zeus Man

      thx John in all seriousness. I just started with internet marketing and I poured all my time into 2 websites I have up and running. Yet recently I thought how beneficial it would be to have multiple websites/blogs on many different topics! I was focusing so much on the 2 niche's I was in, in getting those 2 sites/blogs ranked and hitting my head against the wall. You simple idea and video shook me loose again thanks so much! I do feel now that you have to spread yourself out rather then focus on one topic..because that one topic with drive you into a huge rut sometimes!

      be good!
      • [1] reply
  • so far I only set mine up to blog yet i need to look at the rest of it and see whats up. I just figured how to ping the blogsite, so I have to say today is one of the first times I have stayed the course and stayed focus, now just need to repeat and rinse and see what happens from there.
  • just a heads up for those trying this i have set up 42 blogs using this model. all of them are working great. i thought i would let you know that out of all my niches and topics that the divorce niche is by far my highest performer! 300 unique hits to the blog the day i set it up. also when socially bookmarking your site do one at a time. when i first set it up i mark it with stumbleupon then i wait a few days and mark it with Digg ect. anyway i know its taboo to disclose a profitable niche but in this case i dont feel there is any harm in it.
    when setting up your blogs be sure to attach analytics to it and track your high preformers. that way you can cultivate them and not waste time on the lame ducks.
    like i said i have 42 of them set up with more added daily. out of the 42 i have 12 that i consider good performers and between those 12 im averaging 8 to 10 dollars a day in adsense and amazon.
    also if you find a profitable niche thats performing well dont be afraid to create more then one blog on the subject. as i stated the divorce niche is blowing the others out of the water and i plan on adding five more in that same niche.
    for those of you using adsense with blogger dont waste your time with the image ads they have a poor click thru rate also be sure and set up the ads to appear between posts not on the side.
    just saying this blooging idea works and pays. not a lot but if you work it you can have an semi auto-pilot rev stream.....

    • With WordPress, you'd simply post your articles to publish at a date in the future. So you could post ten articles, but change the publish dates so that they all go "live" a day or two apart. If you need help with this, just let me know!
      • [ 2 ] Thanks

  • You guys are rocking this simple little method! I'm getting PM's out the wazoo from people doing it who aren't posting here, too! I dig it. This stuff does not have to be complicated or time consuming unless you make it that way.

    Go for numbers with this model. Don't get hung up on dotting all the i's and crossing the t's. Just set one up a day. Use free PLR. At most, change the titles for each post a bit so the URLs are unique (Blogger and WP put the post title in the URL). Then maybe add a sentence or two at the beginning to make them a bit more unique. But that's not even necessary, really. I say go for speed and more blogs. I think that wins in the long run.

    Seriously, shoot for 350 blogs in one year. That's a little less than one per day. Once you get this down, that's like an hour a day. Get on a schedule to go back to each one after it's been published for a minimum of 3 weeks and put up some Adsense or Amazon (they have a blogger widget plug-in now), or just some links back to your sites that make you money so they rise in the rankings.

    Heck, you could even make money with these blogs by selling links on them to other marketers! Let that possibility swim around in your brain a little. See the potential?

    John
    • [ 3 ] Thanks
  • I 100% agree with Zeus on this. Pick a niche and take action!

    It's way to easy to get lost in information overload. Start moving and move everyday.

    Some of my earlier blogs took 6 months to start consistently paying off with affiliate products, but adsense was faster. 2-3 months.
  • i just wanted to say that i personally dont link any of my blogger blogs to any other sites on the web and because of that im comfortable with putting in my amazon links in from the start i add adsense a week or so later. without linking the sites to others on the web I avoid any red flags and blogger doesnt view my blogs as spam at all. there are a few i set up fully with amazon and google from the start and have had no problems but do so at your own risk.
  • I can wrap my head around almost all of this but get lost when you all start talking about the gmail address thing.

    Are you saying that for each blog I should set up a different gmail address? I'm going to start this TONIGHT. Can't wait.

    I'm shooting for 1,000 blogs by 12/31/10.....
    • [1] reply
    • honestly i think the whole gmail debate is simple paranoia. i have nearly 50 blogs on one account and i have no issues. as long as your not spamming your blogs youll be fine with one gmail account. and honestly i guess this is the way i look at it. if blogger was going to punish you for using adsense and amazon on your blog why would they make it available in such a quick and easy format?
      i think most people that are worried about having their accounts banned are either planning on or doing things above and beyond this concept that violate the blogger TOS.
      the way Zeuss has laid it out in no way shape or form violates the blogger TOS. so imho there must be something else going on with those folks that are having issues with banning.


      side note with adsense and blogger : be sure to activate the adsense for feeds feature!
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • as far as picking a niche i wanted to add that i have taken the shotgun approach to this. you can find thousands of PLR pack and they are broken up into folders based on subject right now at last cound i had well over 800 folders. what I do is each folder is a blog i create. the best part is i set the blogs up and i pay my 12 year old son $10 a week to copy and paste the content and schedule them to post. I go back later and add the amazon links to them before they post. just dont over think the process the formula is simple create blog , post content , sociallly bookmark, ping site , repeat!
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Another quick question...just because I've had KEYWORD RESEARCH drilled into my head....at this point you are saying don't worry about keyword research....just get a related name and go for it....do I understand that correctly?
    • [1] reply
    • It will help, but it's time consuming if you do KW research correctly. You could do that and just put up fewer blogs. In the long run, it will produce good results, no doubt. But I would suggest just naming your blog with the main keyword for that niche if you're not a fast researcher. You do want related words in the domain - like digitalcameracases.blogspot.com - for example. That will help it rank for the term "digital camera cases." But don't spend much time on finding keywords if you aren't already good (and fast) at it.
  • I think one gmail acct per blogger blog is overkill. I would suggest one gmail for every 4-5 blogs and you'll be fine. There aren't a lot of people (non-marketers) who would set up more blogs than that at blogger for themselves under one acct, so mimic that general rule. It'll save you some time to put up more blogs.

    1,000 in 9 months??? YOU CAN DO IT! But man, you're gonna need a long vacation after you do all that work, man.

    • just a tip for you to speed up the blog building process:

      because your post dating the blogs content only post 10 articles to start with. then set one day a week aside to load content into your blogs. be sure and ping them on this day. (pinging them daily can have an adverse effect)

      what i do is i create 10 to 20 blogs all at once then load the content. its fast and easy and doing it this way breaks up the tasks so its not so boring.

      1000 blogs are do-able just do 10 a day for the next 100 days. easy money

  • I know you're recommending doing this with Blogger, but can't it work just as well with Wordpress? I have lots of WP blogs already set up, and could add more content before monetizing them, yes?
  • wow, I thought the first blog was easy to set up so are we suppose to ping daily? I mean the sites aren't heard to set up on there. I got the adsense and amazon deal, even though the adsense wont do me any good since they rejected me i am not sure if it was for a payment or what. Any other advise besides amazon and adsense???
    • [1] reply
    • Ok, so i started doing this the other day, got a few blogs done, and submitted a few articles to ezine articles. But as i was expecting Ezine wouldnt let me submit them due to it already being posted. So, i tampered around with each paragraph until it was happy letting me submit it. I did this for about 5-6 blogs, and now a week later i have been informed that my ezine account has been suspended for trying to post duplicated content.

      If i cannot post PLR articles on ezine, where am i supposed to get my traffic from?
      • [1] reply
  • Yeah, I would never recommend using PLR at EZA. I know nothing I posted or mentioned in the video said anything about using PLR for that purpose. You always want to submit unique content there, or at the very least heavily rewritten stuff so it's basically original. Sorry about your luck with that. You get your traffic from search engines. With all the content you're publishing on your blogs, you'll start getting some traffic through various long-tail keyword searches.

    John
  • this is great, but Google is known to delete people's blogs, especially if you're an affiliate and ty to sell something. Maybe adsense is the way to go since adsense makes google money, so there might be a higher chance your blogs survive
  • I love this post Zeus. I think you make a great point that people just need to stay consistent, and they just need to stick to one thing and not give up on it.

    Again, good video.
  • Alright without sounding too much of a newbie, well let me ask the noobie question anyway lol when you want to get traffic to your site, exactly what do you do to make that happen? I know ya'll got some good suggestions. I understand search engines but how are we getting the search engines to look at our sites?
  • One of the ways you can get the Search Engines to look at your sites is to add a signature to your WF profile, which of course links to your site/blogs/pages etc. Take a look at Zeus66 signature under his post or for that matter mine.

    Trying to stay with the OP of keeping it fast and simple. You had a very legitimate question, so don't worry about asking newbie questions.

      • [1] reply
    • this is by far the best tool for this type of blogging HIGHLY recommend !
  • OK, so let me make sure that I understand this correctly on how to go about doing this properly, and perhaps you can correct me in any areas that I am incorrect on.

    1) Create Blog on blogger.com
    Only make 3-4 blogs per gmail account. This means that you will have to
    have several different gmail accounts in order to be a success with this.
    2) Find 10 or more PLR Articles and Post them on a blog.
    3) Ping first post only of each new blog.
    4) Return to blog and PRE Post the rest of your articles so that you have a
    new post on that blog everyday.
    5) Repeat this blog building process 40-50 times.
    6) After blogs are indexed, then you will return and start to monetize.

    How does this process look? Am I correct on all this? Also, when I monetize I am using AdWords correct? Can I use 1 (one) AdWords account for ALL my Blogger blogs, even though I will have SEVERAL different gmail accounts?

    Thanks!
  • Nice info, thanks a lot.

    Are you saying PLR articles also work best considering that there may be hundred other same articles published elsewhere?
  • Hi all. I just joined today and am loving this post. I have some domains, but instead of buying 40+ .info domains or whatnot, what about setting up a bunch of subdomains on one I already own? Or will that not index well?

      • [1] reply
  • Hmm... I might just be insane. Zeus, I gotta admit, you have me intrigued with the potential for this one. And I'm spending the summer going overboard on work, so what's one more project to juggle?

    1000 blogs this summer? The beginning of April to the end of August gives me 20 weeks. 50 blogs per week, one Gmail account for every 50 blogs... that's about eight per day, give or take a few. And I tend to spend three or four hours every night writing fiction with a partner, so I need an activity just like this to keep me entertained in between posts. This could work out very, very well... or fail horribly. I'm contemplating starting a blog: "The 1,000-Blog Marathon" or something like that.

    ...or maybe I just need to go to bed and wait until I see this post in the stone-cold light of day. Either way, I'll throw it out there.

  • Hello Zeus66,

    I have a question for you. Isn't it against Google TOS to use adsense on non-unique content sites? I'm afraid people will get in trouble with their adsense accounts if they do what you suggest here.
    • [2] replies
    • If you are afraid of that then you can always spin the articles and change little bit of the content. There you go.... now you can easily put adsense.
      you can even sell any PLR ebook(this will add value to your blog).

      Take action Now and dont be afraid.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • I just re-read the Adsense policies, just to be sure, but there isn't any policy requiring unique content. It can't violate copyright rules but as long as you own the rights to publish the content, you're fine.

      Think about it for a minute. If there was a policy of using only unique content, there wouldn't be as many article directories as there are. Almost all of them have Adsense on them and they are full of non-unique content.

  • Like the point about not monetising for a few weeks. Something I hadn't come across before but it certainly makes sense.
  • Would it be an idea to use other free blogging resources like tumblr in stead of blogger?

    That way we don't have to try and open multiple gmail accounts (Whenever I try I have to confirm with my phone number)
    • [1] reply
    • That's a good question. You can adapt this idea to any free blogging system that allows for easy auto-posting. I believe Tumblr fits that criteria. I'm sure there are many others. If anyone knows of others, post them here to help out those who are interested in this. Speed is important here, so it needs to be blog systems that you can schedule posts for publishing at a later date automatically.

    • [1] reply
    • That's gonna vary a lot from blog to blog. The more content you feed it, the more chances you'll get some traffic from searches. You could do some social bookmarks and even set up Twitter accounts for more traffic, but that's a bigger time investment of course. I'd probably spend that time setting up more blogs and not worry about the traffic to any single blog.

    Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • This is not a viable long-term big money idea. Please remember that. This is for some extra cash every month to pay a bill or two. Some blogs you set up will never get much traffic. Some will do better. That's why this is a numbers game. Don't get caught up caring about how any individual blog performs. Just concentrate on adding more blogs with drip-fed content and get them indexed by Google by ping'ing and maybe adding a social bookmark or two to the homepage. Then move on. Go back a few weeks later and add in the links or Adsense. Work out a schedule. If you just keep going, some of the blogs will start to make you money. It's inevitable. But don't expect to quit a job with this. It's not about that. It's just for people who want a bit more coming in every month without the hassles and expense of domain registration, web hosting, and all the rest. This is simple, fast, and works... but you have to avoid overthinking. Just do what I showed in the video and keep going.

    thanks a lot for this post, got me movtivated

    I have a question, do you recommend doing this with a wordpress site? Will the site have a harder time getting ranked good because its less favored as opposed to a blogger site?

    And someone was talking about duplicate content. My site phonerumors.net has 100% duplicate content from feeds, and it still ranks 1-4 in google search for "phone rumors" (the position changes a little once in a while).

    Thanks

    • Google has been cracking down lately on Blogger so I would definitely go with self-hosted WP blogs as somebody previously mentioned. Any time you use duplicate content (even with minor tweaks) you risk your Blogger Blog as well as Adsense account.

    Using byethost.com (free and ad-free hosting) and fantastico, setting this up using WP is as cheap and almost as quick & easy as blogger blogs IMO. Worth the extra bit of fiddling about for the security of knowing that if one of these blogs somehow becomes a cash cow, it can not be taken from you down the road.

    • Thank you so much for referring that host. I had been looking for something but couldn't quite find what I was looking for! I just want to be sure and lockdown my domains. This way my stuff doesn't go *poof* for one reason or another.
  • Excellent Video. Will try to implement shortly!
  • Wow! great post. One question, if your marketing in a niche would it be at all useful to recycle the same articles over on multiple blogs with different titles and a different blog domain name? Or would this not work putting out the same info. Might be a dumb question, i am a novice when it comes to PLR articles and blogger. Anyway, thanks for all the information.

    • What up Vegas how are you doing! Great question.
    • This may sound like a dumb question, but after you apply for adsense..how do you get approved? My blogger blogs dont get that much traffic so Google says i need to get more traffic. How much traffic do you need to get approved? Do you just use your adsense account from a site with enough traffic that got approved already???
  • so whats everyones progress been so far, I am just curious, this has been good advise about things.

    • I am going with 3 blogs per email address and I have started 9 blogs thus far. I am taking it a step further and doing a little bit of keyword research so it is easier for my pages to rank.

      My eventual goal is try and squeeze $2-$3 a day out of these blogs, which would give me about $20 a day. Also for those are are worried blogger will delete your blog I think I figured out a workaround. DO NOT LINK OUT for any reason. If you are going to put products up there you should find them in Amazon...

      I will be posting Youtube videos, but unless it is through advertising there will be zero links to any outside webpages.

    • Yeah I wrote my own articles as well. I am sure it would be much faster if I just used other content, but I am using this as an exercise in fine tuning my writing and story telling skills (I want to work in entertainment, and IM is just a means to an end for me).

      It takes a little more time of course, but I am benefiting from the work both personally and professionally.
  • I'm posting 50 blogs per email address. Absolutely no links anywhere else, except for the Amazon links if I decide to monetize that way. I have a spreadsheet to track my blog names, URLs, dates published, Gmail accounts, and whether or not they are monetized yet. I'll go back and monetize in three weeks. Also, I've been removing the navbar from the top of all the blogs so competitors don't flag me from pettiness.

    I have 40 completed so far. 4% of the way there.

  • Hey guys,

    would be great if someone could help me with these questions before I continue making blogs.

    Would you recommend me using a self hosted wordpress blog instead of blogger? I know how to use the SEO plugins and all that stuff but I'm not sure if the sites would benefit more from using Blogger.

    If I use blogger, should I use the .blogspot domain or my own. I'm curious because if you google "make money online" you see that the #1 site is Make Money Online , so not sure if that site is benefitting from the google domain.

    And lastly, if I use my own domain with blogger can I just sign up with "kljdfslkd.blogspot.com" as I'll be using my own domain later on?

    Thanks for the help
  • Thanks Zeus, great video. I have two questions. 1. When to expect profit from following your system? and 2. What is the average income from one blog per day?

    • That is definitely one way of looking at it. However, I have taken these steps even further by doing keyword research. This way it is easier to rank for my keywords. My goal is to make a solid $2-$3 a day from these blogs.

      I am up to 12, but 9 of them are small niches while the others are quite large. We'll see what happens in May!

  • I set up a wordpress blog and have a few more in the making that I am more interested in using it for backlinks than anything else at this moment.

    I understand what backlinks are but what confuses me is seeing talk of a blog being considered spam in ways when it's used to primarily get links to another site but I took spam as getting hit with stuff you are not interested in or did not sign up for. But how does that apply to a website that you can see what's there and if you don't like it,leave? Or does that "spam guilty" rule only apply to free sites and not self hosted ones

    • Honestly I feel everyone is coming up with a billion and a half reasons why this shouldn't or can't work. If one does proper KW research and does the proper SEO these pages have just as much chance of making cash from adsense and/or amazon as any other page.

      If you desperately need traffic to your blogs before they rank throw up some ads on Project Wonderful. But by taking Zeus' idea here and further implementing some KW research I am finding niche's to create blogs for that I believe will rank well.

      Even if I made a combined $10 a day from my blogs, thats $300 a month and more than enough to cover my car payment!

    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Hmm, I've revised my plans. I was going to do 1000 blogs in 100 days, but I realized that I should probably test first. So I'm going to make 100 blogs (I'm already halfway there), then monetize with Adsense and wait a bit to see what happens. (I'll report back here if I have success.)

    In the meantime, I might do similar blogs with unique content to see how the two stack up.
  • Now I know what I have been doing wrong! Ugh! All that wasted time! Not really. That's why I'm here. To learn and try new things. Thanks John!
  • This is the first time I've dealt with PLR Articles. I did the search on them like you said, but I notice that the ones I come across you have to pay for, is that the case for PLR Articles? If not, where are some good places to get these PLR Articles? Are there free article sites?

    By the way, great post, thanks for the suggestion. I am going to try it now once I figure out this PLR thing.
  • After 7 days I have 40 blogs up and running. Analytics installed on all of them. 0 to 1 visitors to each. Monetization only added to the 3 oldest blogs.

    I'm considering building 50 at time, building backlinks by spinning the articles and posting them on ezine articles and a few other methods, adding some monetization, and then moving on to another 50, lather, rise and repeat.

    My concern is that some of my blogs only have 10 articles on them. If I wait for 3 weeks, add monetization, I'm still not going to be getting any traffic because I don't have fresh content to draw the search engines in.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

    • Typically you have to (A) pay for them upfront, (B) pay for them on a subscription basis or, (C) get them as a bonus for buying a product or joining an email list. You can find some oldie moldy PLR articles around in some free sites though.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • Search for "Free PLR Articles" So what if you have to "join" to get 'em? If you want to do this, you have to give a little here and there.

      One site I signed up with puts out about 200 new PLR Articles every month!

  • UPDATE: The blog I mentioned in the OP here is now back. If you just respond to the flagging in a timely manner, they almost always reinstate your blog. So don't get too upset if you do find some of your blogs getting flagged. Remain calm and take the steps they tell you to take and you'll be good to go again within a few days.

  • If you create a new blog every week then you have over 50 blogs at the end of the year. However, if you release all 50 at once, well, that would raise a red flag from a search engine.
  • Hey guys,

    Google just deleted one of my blogs with the reason for it being spam. But, I didn't spam or anything, all I did was scheduling one post per day like in the video. I'm gonna switch to Wordpress, it's BS how they just delete ur blog an then refuse to clarify why.

    • I have tons of it too. Most of it is categorized already and it just sits and does me no good. That's what led to trying this. "Out there" is always better than "in here" when it comes to content. It doesn't matter if it's PLR or your own stuff... get it out there and find ways to make it pay you. Even if a tiny fraction of the blogs you set up produce anything for you, it's that much more than the PLR was making you as it collected cyberdust on your hard drive.

      People (myself included) way overthink this stuff. If you got it, use it. So what if it isn't perfect?

  • Not only can you make money with them,but as they age you will see which ones get traffic and maybe make another tier around that niche with either different Plr or original material.
    I figure doing 1 day instead of reading another post or email will be more productive use of my time.
    One thing to the haters on this subject. John has said repeatedly that this is not something you base your whole business on but a side project that will put some spare change in your pocket
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Okay, I just started up with this process yesterday. The one snag I ran into was finding PLR articles that were 100% free, written fairly well and offered on McAfee-trusted sites.

    I found a site that just asked for a name and email address in exchange for about 6500 articles or so. It's here at plr-packs(dot)com.

    I created a Gmail address specifically for submission to PLR websites so I'm not tempted to get lazy and use a good one.

    Once you get the link for the download, you'll be happy to see all the articles are categorized in subfolders by topic. It's very easy to choose a niche and just start posting. I think there's about 25 articles per topic.

    And John is right - it's incredibly quick. I was able to create a new blog and post 25 articles in drip-feed format in less than one half hour.

    Since I just started yesterday, I haven't added AdSense yet, so I can't tell you how well it's doing, but it took such little time, I doubt it will be a waste. I intend to use this as a weekend project for when I don't feel like carrying on with the same work I do during the week.

    So make yourself a playlist, turn up the volume and start posting!
    • [ 3 ] Thanks
  • I actually found some of my old (but still live) blogger blogs out there and guess what - with a little bit of tweaking (and some drip fed content) they have started to get some traffic and better still they have erned some money - in fact this week has been one of the best adsense weeks I have enjoyed for a LONG time.

    • This is a very important part of this, everyone. Don't overlook the power of setting up a bunch of these blogs now and going back to them a year or more down the road. Take the long view on this project and plant those seeds now (put up more blogs). Don't just look at the immediate gains.

  • Okay, yes, I read Steve's post, and although I also hate all this focus on celebrities that plagues our culture, I could appreciate the concept he put forward.

    Although I love the written word, I find writing articles about "things" to be tedious. I have never used PLR articles. Of course, I've never made more than $5.00, either, lol. I am now considering using PLR articles as a foundation just to spur my thinking cap, but then re-writing a good bit of the articles. Maybe I would get more accomplished that way.
  • I did something like that, I have about 10 blogs of diferent topics and I update them everyday. I have them linked together as well. My traffic is higher and I'm making more money off of adsense.
    • [1] reply
    • This is another use I hinted at but never really explicitly detailed. Don't limit yourself to just making money directly from these little autoblogs. Build a blog farm and use them for links to your "money" sites. Just be careful! Let them age a bit before you go back and start adding links to your other sites. And do it gradually. You're much more likely to raise some flags if you have no outbound links one day, then 50 the next. Wait a few weeks and go back and start adding a few links here and there to your sites you want to get ranked higher or drive more traffic to - your "money" sites.

      Take the long view if you go this route. You'll stay under Google's radar with more of your blogs if you add links gradually and ignore the natural temptation to overdo it early on.

  • Just came upon this thread while looking for information about people using Blogger to host Amazon aStores. Just tried this, by posting some code into a Blogger post, and it seems to work like a charm.
    (check out Massage Tables and Supplies as an example)

    Has anyone else experimented with this?
    Am I breaking any rules by doing this?
  • I think this a very good strategy which is both Free and Fast.
    Personally I would like to do keyword research using the Free Google Keyword Tool and then use the keyword phrases in the articles, titles, headers etc.
    If any one of the blogger posts starts to get visitors or ranking I would buy a keyword rich domain ($9) and spin the article and post it on there. Then add some social bookmarking backlinks to move up the ranking.
    I like to own my assets (internet marketing business) so I would not want to be totally at mercy of Blogger for my valuable assets- therefor have my own domains.

    The above will work very well complementing what Zeus had show in this thread.
    Taking action is the Key

  • This sounds like a really interesting idea. I just bought "Zombie Blogging" on the back of this thread, very well written, concise and refreshingly funny eBook

    I do have one question, if your only allowed one Adsense Account - if one of your Blogs gets pulled, surely it could affect all of them?

    So if you have a few different Gmail addresses (the ratio of five Blogs to each one) they're all connected by whichever Gmail account you registered for Google Adsense, and therefore are all connected and at risk?
    • [1] reply
    • This is why you wait a few weeks before monetising. In general, if your blog is going to be pulled for anything major, it will happen in the first couple weeks. Anything after that will be a small thing, and not enough of a justification to pull an entire AdSense account.

  • Hi everyone! Thanks Zeus for this great "get out and do it" action plan.

    I only started at the beginning of May and I have 10 blogs on one gmail account. I bought a 0.89 .info domain and plain on hosting the rest of them there as subdomains to avoid possible problems with the Blogger account.

    My question, is anyone seeing any results? I have two blogs that are monetized already and I have my calendar marked for when I can start monetizing the rest. I pinged and social bookmarked. Is there anything else I should be doing or just keep waiting?

    TIA
  • WebDiva7,

    different folks have different results. I'm finishing up some other projects before implementing this and John's/CDarklock's Zombie Blogging (which is a great read folks).

    A member of the local Raleigh Internet marketing meetup has been generating affiliate based blogs for the last few months, and he reported last month he was making money on the blogs - but the ones monetized with ebay had mysteriously started to drop their conversion rates.

    There is also a local affiliate company called LinkedConnector thats very friendly to work with. I just left them an email one day and asked if I could take someone to lunch to discuss affiliate marketing since they're in Cary (where I live). To my surprise someone took me up on the offer. In this business you'll find lots of folks like them, and John, who are willing to help out.

    So the short answer is - yes, people are making money doing what John suggests.

    best,

    • I've PMed someone who used to have a link in his signature so I can beg him to post that link here. I don't want to say who it was, because I don't want him to be spammed all to hell by people asking for the link.

      Oddly enough, the first time I found money in my AdSense account, it was also three cents. I wonder what that means.
  • Love this! I knew about Blogger, but I did not know about the drip feed. This helps me plan out my days and activities.

  • I started doing this with my main google account. I cleared some old blogs out that weren't getting any traffic and started building them from scratch.

    I created three blogs today and on the third one got the phone verification before I could proceed. I've never gotten one before, and this was on blog creation, not account creation.

    Looks like something they're implementing, but as long as you're a human that's able to manage the text message part, you'll be able to drive on. Not sure about the footprint part though.
  • Google is smart enough to know what's going on. You'll wake up one morning and all those blogs will be gone.

    If you're going to do this, at least do it right and invest in your own hosting account. Then set up the blogs as self-hosted Wordpress blogs.
    • [3] replies
    • Having your own hosted blogs only means that google will de-index them instead...which is worse. Once they do that, you'll never get anywhere with that domain name.
    • I'm curious.

      What, exactly, is going on?

      You open an account, completely within Google's terms of service.

      You start a blog, again completely within Google's terms of service.

      You post content on it, yup, completely within Google's terms of service.

      And you put AdSense on it... completely within Google's terms of service.

      Why would these blogs be gone one morning?

  • Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I found this yesterday, and IMMIDIATELY implemented it, as I can see that it would be a nice little bit of income to pay off something (I'm going for paying one of my $7/month hosting bills first ). Put up 3 blogs on blogger.

    Don't worry, I'm not gonna ask a dumb question, as I've read (with great curiosity and excitement) the main posts, but a serious question:

    Since I have obviously seen this late, the guys who started this a few months back, have you continued adding blogs daily, and what kinda monthly adsense/amazon/affiliate income are you seeing over how many blogs?

    Also, how long did oyu find the blogger indexing process to take? So far just added to webmaster tools, and I amy do some bookmarking if you guys think it helps

    Mubarak
  • Hey Mubarak,

    The example blog I set up: Camera Bags And Cases is monetized with Amazon affiliate links, and it's made me a bit of money over the last few months. Nothing major, but the odd sale here and there. And I haven't added any new drip-fed PLR to it in a couple of months now. It gets 2-3 visits per day, so again, nothing to brag about, but then the point was to set up a lot of these. They don't take much time and you snazz them up a bit with a custom theme like the one on there and some themed images. That way they don't look so "blah."

    I have other income streams, but were I to get serious about this model, I have no doubt I could turn it into a few hundred dollars per month, mostly on auto-pilot. It is definitely a viable method to earn a nice little part-time income.

    • Thanks John, that's just the news I needed.

      I just wanted to know whether, in hindsight, they were non-starters from step 1.

      Obviously, not expecting to bank big time lol. This is not my primary or indeed secondary tertiary blah blah blah source of income - but I like to spreadd my bets. But if I build it to $10/day, I can pay my little bro to set me up 2 or 3 more a day, and we'll go from there!

      Another question is:

      would you ever consider moving high performers to WP, or is it honestly still better just to keep cranking them out liek nobody's business?

  • Just wanted to update for those guys thinking of jumping on this:

    I wanted to do this MAINLY as an experiment, but also because $10 a day (If I can get that high) is still a tenner a day, right?

    So, in the cracks in my schedule I've put up 5 blogs, and 3 are indexed.

    More deets to follow shortly.
  • There's a Warrior who has asked to remain anonymous who has been in contact with me basically since I posted this idea a few months ago. This person took this idea and ran with it! She now has about 100 of these blogs in all kinds of niches and makes about $25/day total. I know that isn't much, but the work is all done so every single month the money comes at no additional cost to her in time investment. She uses both Adsense and some affiliate links to specific products at Amazon and some CJ vendors.

    Hey, it took a lot of hours and the payoff isn't gonna make her rich, but $750 a month is $750 a month, right? That's a car payment and at least one other monthly bill, totally covered and no more hours have to be spent going forward.

    • In my country $750 a month = Starting salary for fresh graduate engineer.
  • John, those are some solid results there.

    Just to confirm, all I did to index was add to webmaster tools and submit the blogger sitemap (google it ).

    $750/month is still good money for anyone, as has been mentioned.

    John, any experiences with outsourcing this stuff?

    Mubarak
  • Whew.

    ...just put together 100 of these blogs in less than two days and still building more. I basically have it down to the point where I'm able to build the blog, put the content on, and submit to everything in less than 15 minutes.

    Now I'm going to go outside, drink a case of beer or two, maybe swim in the pool and come back in about a week and slowly begin to add AdSense to the blogs on a rolling-basis.

    Thanks for this method. Hopefully I'll be able to report some good news and/or profits in the coming future.
  • Zeus quick question with this method you know how people complain about article marketing wouldnt this be a quick solution to article marketing i.e

    You find a niche

    Find 20plr articles

    Use 10 for the blog and then use the other 10 on ezine and go articles pointing back to you blog.

    Then you instantly have 10 backlinks provided all articles are accepted or is it just another too good to be true fix cause theres some fine print that you cant re-submit plr articles or something?
  • Blogging is really great, a starting point for cash and experience
  • Good idea thanks
  • Thank you John great info. Its an excellent business model for internet marketing with low barrier entry and very scalable.
  • I just started adding blogs and content using this method. As a newbie I find this very easy to follow. I'll post my progress when I monetize. Thanks Zeus for the great info.
  • "Find 20plr articles

    Use 10 for the blog and then use the other 10 on ezine and go articles pointing back to you blog."

    @Teez: No, that won't work. You should read this whole thread from beginning to end and then you'll see your idea has been done, recently, and the guy who did it reported that he was kicked out of EZA. They only want original content there.

    Let him tell his own story, just skip to page 2 if you can't read the whole thing. No, read it all! It's only 8 pages, you're a college man, why back in my day, we had to read 800 pages, on the road, with loud music, during a blizzard, and had to ride to college in a Volkswagen, while rolling smoke with one hand--it was stick! And we still got an A.

    You could use all 20 on the blog, and either write your own or pay someone to write you something for ezine. And/or, still do article marketing with alternatives to ezine; there are lots of others to choose from, who may or may not be quite so picky.

    EDIT: And get rid of those brand-names before a Lawyer sees them!

      I use one excel spreadsheet that has all the names of the sites and their URLs and a couple other bits and bobs.

      Set it up for 20 articles, then move onto the next one. This is a mass production method

  • Thanks a lot! It is an extremely helpful video, indeed!
  • Great thread. I've just reread it after being away several weeks.

    Personally I always prefer to use my own hosted Wordpress. Nothing against the Blogger method, but I just feel more in control knowing I own the hosting and everything is backed up on my PC.

    The trick to making this work is to make the set-up fast! No point spending 2 days per blog. You cant scale it fast enough. I aim for around an hour per blog, and that includes a simple but pretty header, adding analytics, all the plugins,

    As an example here is a Wordpress Blog I set up on a free hosting space this morning. It took me 3 hours, which is more than I usually spend but then I do tend to get emotionally attached!

    Casino Choices Industry News

    Half the setup time was finding gaming related affiliate partners. The rest is largely copy and paste, and switching on plugins.

    Some things I never skip:
    1. Google Analytics (very useful to know where traffic comes from, plus its satisfying tolook at the numbers of visitors grow)
    2. SEO Plugins, GoogleXML Sitemap, OnlyWire submitter
    3. Keep a copy of all code / SQL on your PC

    As a comparison, one of my Autoblogs that took 2 hours to set up is
    Olympics Tickets and Latest News, a news site for London 2012. This is the kind of thing you can acheive easily in 2 hours if you do several sites at once and use a checklist to keep track.

    I really recommend spending enough time to get something that looks attractive, but don't get carried away.

    Good luck
  • Great post, I wish my blog wasn't about personal development. I guess there are PLR articles out there for personal development, I should take a look at some of them and see what they are like.

  • But Mubarak, are you not getting the fact that you can spin the living daylights out of your articles and still have Google consider your blog to be spammy? Because you absolutely can. And the way Google are doing things now, you'll risk having your entire AdSense network penalized in the SERPS because of ONE spammy blog. Anyone who makes decent money from AdSense wouldn't EVER risk all the work (and money) invested by doing something like this if they knew the risk involved - unless, of course, they have more than one AdSense account and are really taking all the necessary precautions. But then they STILL wouldn't do it, because if they're making good money from AdSense they're pretty unlikely to start to think of methods like this as very useful. They were a few years ago, but now... not so much, to put it mildly.
    • [1] reply
    • Then don't try it. It's cool. I actually don't think this model is very smart for anything long-term. You know some people who Google has come down on. I know some who do this regularly without any problems... some for a long time. Depends on how you tweak things and the quality of your PLR.

      I don't even really recommend using Adsense with this model. You can find lots of PLR about products (especially consumer electronics and some bigger ticket items). Try monetizing these blogs with Amazon. Don't even put your Adsense account at any risk if this bothers you or if you plan to do it the super-fast and more spammy way.

      Your criticisms are duly noted, but you're making way too much out of this. I said from the outset and many times since that this should always be treated as a minor hobby kind of thing. Your time is much better spent pursuing some other business model for any kind of long-term, full-time online income.
  • Well, we agree on most things then, Zeus.
  • Yes, of course. Nobody in their right mind would risk something valuable for something invaluable. That's just common sense.
  • thanks for the good info,
    it is something that as newbie you do and get some traffic and back links,
    and then, when you get experience online you see yourself doing the same thing.
  • Nice post John. I think a lot of times people get frustrated with IM because of their expectations of making a lot of money in a short time period. Like you said, just take consistent action every day and you will start seeing results.

    This also seems like a good way to test niches and see what performs. The best, than u could build it up and even host ur own site when u find a winner.

    • [2] replies
    • No, but this is all about speed and Blogger blogs are so easy to set up really fast. You also get to piggy-back on the authority status of the blogger domain. You could use WP on a self-hosted domain and just create subdomains (essentially the same model as Blogger) or a directory structure, but you'd get none of the blogspot.com authority boost.

      I want to reiterate for those who might be seeing this old thread for the first time: THIS IS TO EARN A BIT OF EXTRA MONEY. It's not a viable business model for building a long-term business. It's too risky and too much is out of your direct control for that.

    • Don't try to use free wordpress.com blogs - they are far, far more likely to delete your blogs than blogger is. You can do what you like with a self-hosted WP blog though.
  • +1000 for this thread. I'm using variation of this method already. I'm using hopads in sidebar for some blogs which are made from the method explained by Steve in this thread. Obviously i used keyword research in his method to tweak blogs.

    You can use - clickbank hop ads as alternative to adsense or infolinks, kontera if you're not signed up for adsense or if you don't want to use adsense.

  • Here is my experience. CDarklock teaches this very thing in a WSO called "Zombie Marketing." I tried it and found several problems. The first is that I could only set up about 4 blogs and had to start giving my phone number. The second was that I could not add adsense to many blogs. Blogger often complained that I had to be the adsense holder to do so. So faking the blogs for adsense purposes will not work.

    I did finally get a verification required for one of my gmail accounts. It seems that no matter what I did, Google traced it back to me. It has been a thorn in my side since I started.

    I have not lost my adsense account yet, but I haven't reached my first $100. (From what I hear, if it is lost, you find out on payday.) Anyway, I can't seem to create a new gMail or blogger account without it asking for a phone number. Maybe it has to do with the Google Dart Cookie, I don't know.

    As for the program, I think it is a great way to get newbies started if they can get past the blog limitations.

    Additionally, the content needs to be proof-read before posting. My first site was setup using the PLR content with no editing except for the title and when everything posted, I noticed how crappy it was and how it sometimes made disconnected references. In many cases, the free PLR looked like it was copied and stolen from other websites. Most of it was horrible. I started taking the time to edit it on the last three blogs. It was more work, but the articles looked better.

    After the first four blogs, I was out of commission, so I quit building Zombies. It is ashamed, too, because in less than three months, many people could be able to create about 100 blogs. Even averaging $.25 a day each, the money would add up.

    I will be watching this to see how it turns out. I hope everyone manages to do well with it that tries to work it.

    • Can anyone comment on this? And has anyone actually made any money from this method?
    • This is about the same experience I had; every three to five blogs, I had to confirm. I used the same phone number and never hit the "too many blogs on this number" issue, though.

      Never had this problem, myself.

      I think Blogger has really cracked down on this method, because we have a LOT of people using it. I keep meaning to update it so it runs off your own host using your own domains instead, but it just hasn't reached the top of my to-do list.

  • How do you put ads on blogger that are not Amazon or Adsense?
  • Just add the html code. There's an html widget for the sidebar I believe, and when you put them in the posts you can add html code too (for as far as I know, I don't use blogger much)

  • I just wanted to follow up and let you know that I tried this technique the day you posted it. I watched the video, put up two blogs, and loaded content that should have gotten me through this month.

    Today I got emails that Blogger has marked both as spam.

    I only created 2 because I was hesitant but... just thought I'd let you know about my results.
    • [2] replies
    • Respond to the spam alerts from Blogger. It's a pretty common occurrence and they're just looking to ensure that you're "real" and not a bot program out autoblogging. I've had probably 20 such alerts from them over the years, and each time I respond they reinstate the blog. This is part of the reason why I don't recommend monetizing them right away. Leave the ads off for a while until they've been out there a bit.

      John
    • If you didn't drip the content, then that could have caused the problem. I hope you
      didn't publish all the content at once.
  • When you use PLR articles that other people are using, Google won't index your content.

    Google only indexes the first content source and the rest end up in supplemental results (not on Google)...

    So how do you drive traffic with PLR content that has been used elsewhere?
    • [2] replies
    • Well, the obvious solution which comes to mind is to rewrite that PLR content so that it is both engaging and sufficiently unique. If you manually spin those PLR articles yourself, I'm sure you could come up with something unique enough for Google.
    • While I won't say that this can't happen, it usually doesn't. Identical stuff doesn't usually even end up in the supplemental index, it just ends up lower in the search. But I've seen loooooaaads of serps where the same stuff is repeated in the first few pages. For instance, anything you enter in blogs is likely to get you the same information at several different sites.

      So yeah, there are ways to get around this, but your basic premise is just not true.

    It seems either they aren't doing something right or this method just isn't effective. I created 11 blogs a few weeks ago and monetized them with CPA offers but i haven't had any conversions yet. All the blogs are indexed also. I social bookmarked them and pinged them. Does it take more like months than weeks to start getting some decent traffic?

      I did have a question? What should we do when we run out of PLR for that individual topic? Should we find more or stop updating that particular blog?

  • Great question... you can certainly leave the blog alone. But I suggest every once in a while you add more content to it...

    Also this is not a be all and end all strategy to make money. but it is a great first step.
    Along with this you will want to get some links to your blog...and that will help get some traffic.

    For content here a couple of suggestions:

    1) Grab a YouTube video and embed it in your blog adding some text and a headline about your topic...
    2) Go to an article directory site (there are dozens) such as ezine articles and post that in your blog. Make sure you follow the TOS and insert the author's resource box with the article when you post it.
    3) Write your own article. Since it's your own blog it can be as short as you like.
    4) List 10 different quick tips about your blog topic that you write and post in your blog
    5) Find an affiliate at click bank that is related to your blog with an affiliate program. They may have some articles that you can use
    6) Find a product or book in Amazon related to your blog topic...(Blogger is totally integrated with Amazon for easy product links) and write a quick review of the product...

    John's thread here is a great starting point...you will soon be on your own Internet Journey...>>>

    Really the possibilities to use this strategy are endless....
