Would you use an "Automated Hosting" service?

I am considering offering an automated hosting service. The idea is an auto blog setup. The user provides a domain name and keywords. They get a hosted blog that is completely set up on Wordpress for them. The system would
- Create the Wordpress install on my server
- set up a theme for them
- Set up the auto-blog plugins
- set up the seo plugins
- set up sales page plugins
- install google analytics
- set up an auto-responder


Would this be a valuable service if it was priced correctly?

    That sounds like it would be a good service and maybe you can try a monthly payment system for it.

    You'd have to keep the price competitive for those people who already have their own hosting and autoresponders.

      Thank you for the response. Do you think adding desktop software would be a good value add? The user could paste a blog post right in the software and it would get auto posted to the blog.

    This would be a great idea. Bill McRea did this briefly with his HyperPress program, but pulled it shortly thereafter, it sold for $997 I believe. Then Anik Singal had a short-lived IMLobby which eventually closed too.

    But anything that would make my life easier would be greatly appreciated. The key to the autoblogging is using a great spinner without api and limitations like The Best Spinner (which I use) or Spinner Chief (I use it, too as some progs employee this instead of TBS). Or that for the curated content it uses automatically generated (spun) editorial prior to or at end of content?

    Keep me posted if this is something you plan to implement.

    Thanks!
