A couple of days ago, I visited Flippa, an website marketplace, and I saw so many autoblogging sites for sale that it made my head spin. And, the really weird thing is that a lot of these autoblogs were actually being sold for various amounts (many higher than $100). Some of these blogs were aged and had a history of generating revenue and some were brand spanking new. But, one thing was certain, people were buying them left and right.
I then started thinking, why is autoblogging so hot, is this type of business model that I should consider and is autoblogging the wave of the future? I still don’t know why its hot (except that most people want easy money) or if autoblogs will maintain their stickiness. However, I do know that for right now, autoblogs seem to be working (especially for website flippers out there – hint hint) and since I plan on flipping sites very soon, I plan to jump on the autoblogging bandwagon soon.
Here’s a few facts I learned about Autoblogging
What is Autoblogging?
Autoblogging is a method of creating a completely automated blog, so that you don’t have to regularly update it. This process allows individuals to get fresh content, videos, etc. every day or even more than once a day, and make money through Google ads, contextual advertising, or affiliate links.
How to Create Autoblogs
You create an autoblog using a WordPress blog, a domain name. and a plugin. With this plugin, you are able to pull in content from all over the place. Depending upon your keywords and your niche, you can pull content from different kinds of sites that are relevant to your topic. The plug-ins include links back to those sites so that the owners get credit for their articles or posts.
Some people use WP Robot whereas others use plugins from sites like Unique Article Wizard. Both of these allow you to pull articles from their site to populate your blog. However, WP Robot also allows you to pull videos, twitter posts, amazon products, ebay auctions, yahoo answers, and much more.
How Much Can You Make?
You can make $100 or more selling well made autoblogs. If you keep them, the amount you make will vary depending on your niche. It seems as if the most common amount people make from one autoblog is about $2 per day. This is why marketers typically create hundreds of autoblogs. If they create 100 autoblogs, they’ll make $200 a day, which translates into about $6,000 per month. Not too shabby, right?
What are the Risks?
There are many variables to autoblogging, from the keywords you choose to the content you pull. It’s very possible that more than one blog will be highly successful. It’s also equally possible that several blogs will make no money. In addition, search engines tend to look down upon autoblogging sites and it may be harder to get them ranked or keep them ranks, especially for competitive keywords( or at least that is what I’ve heard).
My Verdict About Autoblogging
Autoblogging can be extremely profitable if its done correctly but it carries some risks. As for me, I am going to give autoblogging a try, especially for website flipping. I don’t think I will keep them for my own niche blogging efforts however for website flipping, they seem perfect.
