Why Automated Blog Networks Can Help You Make Money

It is accepted that blogs are a good way of getting an online presence as they are popular with the search engines such as google and yahoo, and if used well provide good information to people searching the web, which is what the search engines want. However it is time consuming writing enough blog posts to get even one blog noticed, let alone trying to create a series of blogs as a basis for an online business.
So one way of getting round this is to allow your blogs to host other peoples blog posts. For this you need to have your blog as part of a blog network or to use automation software to drag blog posts into your website automatically for given keywords.
There are a number of good blog networks around, and they work by allowing members to post on others blogs. Basically there are two options in the network, to post an article or allow your own blog to be used by others for posting articles of theirs, or you can do both. If you post an article on others blogs you can add a link back to your own site and that will help get you backlinks to your website. Allowing your own blog to have others post articles on it will again help you get backlinks and also gives you ready made content without you having to write all the articles yourself.

You can now also find some excellent automated software that allows you to get articles pulled into your blog from various sources including you tube and several article sites and gives you full control on how many and when they post, you just enter keywords and the articles are dragged in, with a chance to review them and use them or not. It means it is very easy to create good content for your blog and then write your own articles when you have time. My own experience shows that you start to get visitors much more quickly and with less effort than trying to do everything yourself. Of course these sites are not free but for me the cost is well worth the time it saves and the better chance to get visitors and traffic. With more traffic of course it means more revenue, and that is what everyone wants.

Since starting using automated blog networks I have been able to start building several themed blogs and use cpa and ppc advertising on them. The visitors are starting to roll in and the amount of effort required to keep the blogs active is much less with the software. What is often left unsaid when your are being sold the next best thing is that it is only any good if you have visitors to buy from you. Getting visitors is more important than having a perfect product to sell. You need a market to sell to first. So its worth spending some cash on a system that genuinely helps you to create traffic to your websites.

Hi Dave,

Automating is really outsourcing in one way or another and done right can definitely make things easier.

I have heard of firepower and what it does.

Your so right about a “Perfect product” and no visitors.

Good post and great blog.

Keep up the good work,

Alan

Thanks for visiting Alan, and I just read your post about focus and its very true. I’m only just beginning to get focused after wasting quite a bit chasing different avenues. I guess I’ve been learning along the way but I really should have focused on one thing at a time a lot earlier.
Great post.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave,

Adding quality content to your blogs…there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day to do everything you need to do in order to be successful in this biz.
I’ve considered auto blog content for a while now. I’ll use your post as a reference. Thanks.

Best regards,

Enjoy the journey.

Hello Mandy, and thanks for your visit,
I use automated posts myself as well as my own, though less on this blog. I started several other blogs up through Firepow which makes life much easier (though at a price just over $100 per month so not for everyone). I get a very varied choice of sources for the blog posts including several article networks and yahoo, google, you tube etc. I can choose random or regular posting and can vet every post if I wish. It also allows me to add pictures and videos into my own blogs easily if I want, plus I can set the whole blog up from scratch with the software (though I generally do it manually).
There are other networks and software around also, I recently left Stompernet as customer service was non existent but they had very good automation and I think the reason customer service was so bad was due to all their effort going into new tools.
For me paying $100 a month is actually worth it if I’m going to develop blog networks as it saves me so much time and means if I can’t find enough time to do many posts my blogs still have activity and useful articles for anyone reading them.

Best Regards

Dave
