A few Auto Blogging hazards to avoid and a couple tips as well

All good advice, and nicely written too. The expectation point is key - one as to remember that these are autoblogs, not pulitzer prize winning hand crafted journals.

Exactly....good point BH. Yes, it would be great if they were all winners but the truth is that some won't do well when others will. The key here is to build them correctly but quickly and move on to the next one...the money is in the numbers (as long as they are good blogs too).

yeah I want to look into autoblogging soon. these are great tips

Rsberg,
Thanks for the advice. I'm as newbie as newbie can be. I haven't even got to the blog stage but your advice makes alot of sense and I am sure going to read it again once I try my hand at blogging.

Chris is dead on guys and gals....

If your a newbie be sure to do your homework before diving in. Auto Blogging can be VERY rewarding once you know what your doing but if you dont or your not really sure and just give it a "whirl" you might find yourself on the wrong end of success.

I was hoping others would chime in with some additonal tips but that hasnt happened yet so I will add a couple more...

1. Once you do understand the overall concept it would be a good idea to get yourself a set of tools to help you succeed. If you have the money, you can do it with freebies but it will certianly take you longer to build each blog.

Market Sam, Micro Niche Finder..stuff like this.

Niche and keyword research is paramount when it comes to setting up successful auto blogs, maybe more so than regular sites (with mostly original content).

2. Remember...not all of your blogs will be money makers, this is a numbers game. I would suggest once youre ready, start with a set of 5 to 10 blogs covering a range of products/keywords. You will most likely find that in the long run some will work out well, others wont. That's OK, keep the ones that do and dump the losers. During this process you will start to learn things that will add to your percentage of winning sites...then rinse and repeat and keep building.

3. Do testing on your sites...this is a biggie! Start keeping track of which sites do well and which ones dont, keep track of how all your sites are setup and then you can compare to see if there is one particular setup or combination that is working better than others. Once you start to see whats working for you then stick with it, but you can always make little tweeks here and there to refine it.

4. It wouldn't hurt for you to find a mentor, someone who knows the ropes and can teach you. The WF is full of them...just look around.

Neat suggestions and tips. I want a mentor now, one of those autoblogging gurus you are talking about. In case you dont mind I wanna ask if autoblogs are more profitable than blogs outsourced?


Andrea

you may want to look at the post about google putting bans on auto blogs.

It was bound to happen anyway... meh.

Why not build, a real blog, with optins sections, and links to your real site, where you post real stuff, and real content and create real value for customers real time.... who knows, but maybe I am just crazy and these are just all stooopid ideas now.....

Celente,

Always good to see you lurking around auto blog threads spreading your well wishing upon those who are interested.

Thanks for your not so on topic comments, we do appreciate them so!

By the way, the thread you mention doesn't really hold a lot of fact or evidence to support the initial posting by the OP (I heard it form a friends friend...seriously?).

You should stop spending your time looking for auto blog threads to bum rush and spend a little more time building your real blogs with optin sections and links to your real sites where you post real stuff with real content to create real value for customers in real time...

Did I get the quote right? I've just about got it memorized as I have seen you post something similar a few times now and always in threads about auto blogs.

Interesting...

take from it what you will.

But when you can show me a person doing really well from an autoblog, you know creating good income, or a full time income....then you can ridicule?

I am just trying to help, if autoblogs are working for you, then that is great....I am happy for you. But there are no ill intentions here...just have a look at some of threads now about auto blogs....

Just helping out warriors caught in the headlights and seeing the dollar signs. There are big gurus out there still plugging these programs, so just gotta be careful that is all. I cannot tell you want to do, or how to do it, ...But google will start clamping down on these little things, and already is, tis why I posted...just as a heads up anyway.

Show me someone who is making money - and I do not mean $100 a week, I mean a full time income from a real blog???? that is not spamming .....Oh you can?...... I rest my case.

You say show you someone whos making money from auto blogs....

Have you seen how many VERY POPULAR threads (I mean the ones that have well over 500 replies) that have been posted lately on the WF? I know of at least 2 threads (and I think there are more) and all of them are related to autoblogging with Adsense, Affiliate Marketing, Amazon products....etc etc. In fact there are a couple of successful WSO's recently by respected members here on the WF that are coaching people on doing the same things they do with auto blogging to make thier living.

I dont have a problem with people expressing their opinions, everyone is entitled to them. What bothers me is the fact that there is certainly a small group of people (yourself included) who seem to make it their life mission to make disparaging comments on almost every thread related to auto blogging. I've seen you do it more than once and as I said there are others who do the exact same thing. I dont know if it's because you tried auto blogging and failed miserably, I dont know if it's because you just want to post negative things to try to stir the pot or if there is some other agenda but you certainly do seem to show up in auto blogging threads pretty regularly.

If you don't like auto blogging, don't think it's a good way to work in IM, don't believe in it's approach...or any other number of negative ways to look at it then why don't you either stay out of those threads or start your own thread talking about how bad it is...instead of going into others threads and always having something negative to say?

Dustin,

I appreciate your interest in Auto Blogging and I obviously think it is one of many viable income streams available in IM today.

Initially I would say (before you try to find a coach) to do as much reading here on the forum as you can about it. Please don't take that as my blowing you off, I'm certianly not. I think anyone getting into a new area of IM (one they aren't already comfortable in) should be sure to be as "educated" on the subject as they can before getting involved with it. After you feel you are ready then to be quite honest I would look at doing it myself first, before trying to find a "coach".

The reason I say that is I personally learn a better when I have to dig and tweek things to make them better than having someone show me right from the start. Having said that, if you just can't seem to make it work or you're having problems that you can't get past then finding a coach is a good idea....as long as they know what they are talking about.

Also, to be quite honest, at the moment I am pretty busy with trying to get my site launched, I knew it would be a challenge but never thought it would be this involved (I underestimated it to say the least). I try to dip in here for a few minutes each day but beyond that most of my day is spent working on my site, my regular job and managing my own sites as well (by the way...auto blogging done right isn't really "auto"...in case you didn't know)

When it comes to auto blogging there are a few very knowlegeable people here on the forum, check the main area for their threads, a couple of them are very popular and offer some great details about how they approach and work auto blogging.

Once again, I'm glad you are interested in Auto Blogging and wish I had more time on my hands to help you more than just this thread (which I realize got a bit off track...sorry for that). Please let me know if you run into trouble trying to do it yourself and I will try to help you find a good coach, I know a few people here who are pretty successful with auto blogging (more so than me). Remember though...it will take work, big misconception that auto blogging is easy. It is easier than several other IM approaches (in my opinion) but it's not "easy".

Now go study and get "educated", take action, don't forget...auto blogging is a numbers game and most importantly...stick with it, it doesn't happen overnight!

BTW...there is lots of info about auto blogging in the War Room (one time fee of $37 for life time membership) and it's shared by people who are VERY successful with it! That might be one of your best initial investments in auto blogging.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the information Rsberg. And if some of you choose to not believe him, then don't. Some of us are trying to learn about all the various methods available for IM, whether auto or not.

Everyone here can make their own mind up whether they want to believe a poster or not, and whether to keep reading or move on to other posts on the WF. Arguing about it is like arguing about what color is best.
