AutoBlog – Part 1 – An Overview

metafever-autoblog-blogOne of my strengths is setting up autoblogs so I wanted to start putting together an online guide devoted to the tips, tricks, and hacks that I have learned in setting up effective autoblogs.

First off what is an autoblog and why do you want them?

An autoblog is simply a blog that is on auto pilot . . . this means you don’t have to do any maintenance (or very little). The content will be streamed in automatically and traffic is largely organic.

The reason you want an autoblog is pretty simple, to make money. There are several ways which you can monetize your autoblogs. The primary way to monetize of course is by using Google Adsense, but as we dive into the various aspects of setting up and maintaining an autoblog we will discuss more advanced methods of monetization.

So in this multi-post guide we are going to focus our efforts on discussing the following points:

  • Goals
  • Monetization Strategies
  • Content
  • Plugins
  • Control Panels
  • Hacks
  • Hosting
  • Design
  • Link Building
  • Overall Strategies

Before I dive in, I am going to assume that you will be using WordPress, and that you know how to install WordPress and do the basic configurations.

Goals of an Autoblog:

You might start off thinking of building 1 autoblog, but then you will soon realize it’s just as easy to deploy hundreds of these gems and before realize you can build a bona-fide blog farm. If it’s done right you can have your blog farm running 100% on auto pilot.

The type of autoblog you build can either be one that is based on quality and user experience or a very un-attractive autoblog that is designed to get maximum Adsense clicks.

www.MashGet.com is an example of a autoblog that is designed for maximum user experience. If you look close every element of this site is automated.

www.EnergyFromHome.com is an example of an autoblog that is designed to promote an affiliate product and earn Adsense income.

So before you set out to build a blog that runs on autopilot it would serve you well to decide what kind of autoblog you would like to build.

Don’t worry about deciding now as you read this guide you will get a better understanding of the possibilities.
