We are all familiar with creating a blog and auto-blogs to gain exposure and traffic. However, what many of us don’t realize is that there is very little money to be made in auto-blogging unless it is done on an extreme mass scale.
The point of the affiliate marketing game is traffic. And with traffic, the odds are that the more traffic you get, the more conversions and the more money you will receive.
For example…
Let’s say that you have an auto-blog that you have already built. If you are receiving 20 hits per day on your auto-blog, you may be thinking to yourself that this is a “wash” and will never get you any money doing it this way….well…your right! By this standard, it will practically take you years just to make enough money from affiliate advertising to even be able to cash out.
However…
Think of it on a much larger scale. For example, if you were to turn that single auto-blog into 20 auto-blogs, you now have 400 hits per day to your sites.
Now, let’s think larger. Let’s say you were able to create 1,000 auto-blogs. That means that you now have 20,000 hits per day….which in turn comes to 600,000 hits per month!
You are going to need the following to get started:
1. A Domain
2. Hosting
3. MySQL Database
4. WordPress Installation Files
5. A Niche / Keywords
I do realize that some of you don’t have a whole lot of cash just laying around. That’s OK! There are ways around getting this stuff for free.
Domain:
Signup for a free .TK domain at http://www.dot.tk/
Hosting:
Signup for free hosting with FTP access at: http://www.000webhost.com/
MySQL Database:
Signup for a free MySQL database at: http://www.db4free.net/d4f_apply.php
After you have successful setup your hosting, domain, and WordPress installation….it is now time to get to work!
To save money, we are going to change the normal WordPress install to a Multi-Site. What this does is simply allow us to create as many blogs are we want with just a single WordPress installation and on a single domain.
You can few the 5-second WordPress Multi-Site setup instructions here: http://bit.ly/sf0xTx
You will need to have FTP/Server access in order to get to the files. In this case, I would recommend a Free FTP Client called “FileZilla”.
After the super quick setup of your multi-site, you are going to want to select the option for “sub-domains” and not “sub-categories”.
Choosing a Niche:
Choosing a niche and a keyword is the most important thing that you can do. With a good keyword, you could litteraly be making money within minutes. However, by poorly choosing your keywords; you could go years without having making enough conversions to be of any significants.
When choosing your niche, be sure to keep it the same throughout all of your auto-blogs. This will help you to control, convert, and monetize better. Then once you have your foundation, you are able to then spread out to other niches.
There are a number of ways and tools to assist you in finding a great keyword, but at the end of the day the most profitable keyword you can find is one that has low-competition and high-traffic.
LOW-COMPETITION / HIGH-TRAFFIC
Simply head over to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
This is a free tool provided by Google that will give you the layout of keyword statistics. To start, all you need to do is type in a keyword for your genre. If your genre includes selling airline tickets, then the obvious keywords would be ‘Airline Tickets’ or ‘Free Airline Tickets’.
Once you click the submit button, you will then be given a list of keywords with their search volumes and the level of competition you will have for that keyword.
Search through them. It may take some time, but this is a VERY important step.
Finally, now that you have a keyword that you have chosen, you are ready to begin marketing your affiliate promotion around that keyword.
Now, let’s start making some blog’s!
Since our goal is to create 1,000 blogs within 1-month, this mean that there will be some work involved. So you will have to create 50 blogs per day (in a 5-day work week). However, with WordPress Multisite, you are able to setup a new blog within about 20 seconds.
This means that you can do 3 blog per minute…or 180 per hour.
HOWEVER….
Why waste that time when there is a faster more automated way! Here is a simple plugin called “Batch Create”. Simply upload and activate the plugin, then under “batch-create-files” there is a “test.xls file that you can use for an example document. Just input your blog info and e-mails, and then upload it into the plugin’s menu screen.
You can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sne7mprtc47nr77

With the blog’s, you are going to need content. I personally prefer to use http://www.iautoblog.com/
For $80 per month, they will automatically fill an unlimited number of blog’s for you, based upon your niche, that is pre-spun using TheBestSpinner.
If you don’t have that kind of cash to shovel out, then simply do a Google search for an auto-blogging plugin that will grab content for you. However, it is always best to spin it as much as possible.
So that you don’t have to keep uploading plugins and setting up each blog, set the plugins that you want to “Global” and they will automatically be installed for you.
Then, for mass changes, all you need to do it make the changes on your main WordPress install site and the rest of the sites will be changed as well.
