Step 10: First, we want to set up an automated stream of content for your blog. To do that, we are going to use feeds. What I do is find a keyword targeted feed and use my most profitable keyword.

A good place to find these is here:

http://www.researchbuzz.org/tools/kebberfegg.pl

This single source could provide enough content to totally break your blogs (by posting more than 50 times in a 24 hour period). We’re not going for quantity here. We want to find a feed in which our keyword will generate roughly 5 - 10 new items a day. You can do this with a combination of feeds, or just one. It doesn’t really matter.

However it’s vital you keep the number of feeds low day-by-day (again, only 5-10 posts a day).
You can verify this if the feeds you find show dates, or you can verify it yourself after the next step - more detail then.

Step 11: Once we find a feed that will work, or that we think will work, we need to get a way to stick it on our blog. If we were using a hosted WordPress blog, there are plugins that can handle this very, very easily, but we are assuming you aren’t at that level yet.

Blogger doesn’t have a mechanism to do this, but if we could find a way to have the feed emailed to us, we could email it to our blog’s post-by-email address.

There are several places that can do this, and actually several scripts you could install on your own server to facilitate this as well. I’m currently experimenting with this option for myself.

But, I digress. For the purposes of this exercise, I want you to use one that’s actually a handy option on the tool we used in the previous step.

You’ll notice when you pulled up the various feeds, that they each had an option with a link to RSSFWD.com - this is a service that does exactly what we need.

Send your feed there by clicking the link on your Keberfegg results page from the last step.

I set my feeds to not be shared (dunno why - just do), and to be the text-only option. You’re also going to get it to send updates to you as they happen. You’re going to want to set the field to email your post-by-email address that you set up for your blog earlier.

The reason we use the text-only option as stated above is because it will take advantage of a quirk of how this tool’s emails go to Blogger. When we select that format, most of the time, the unsubscribe links that would normally be in the footer of RSSFWDs emails to you are stripped out. This prevents a visitor or even a web spider from unsubscribing your automated content from your blog.

Once you submit the form, RSSFWD will send a verification email which will show up on your blog as a post. Click the confirmation link, then delete that post BUT SAVE THE LINK to where you can manage your subscribtions. You might need it later.

Now, there’s a couple of things to make sure of in this step before we can submit the RSSFWD form.

The links to RSSFWD from Keberfegg are sometimes broken. If that happens, try copying the URL of the XML link of the same feed on your Keberfegg results page. Paste that into the RSSFWD form and see if that works. If it doesn’t, pick a different feed.

Next, make sure the sample of the feed you see on the RSSFWD subscribe page is actally keyword targeted. Sometimes the links mess up and your keyword is stripped out. If that happens, go to the root of RSSFWD to get a blank form, and do the same process as above. That should correct the problem.

I also want to give a word about IM ecology. RSSFWD is a free tool that is not monetized in any way. Let’s try not to spam the service and either shut them down, or make them have to try to charge. Don’t get super greedy. One feed per blog is MORE than enough and doesn’t abuse their service.

Once this is set up, we can move onto the next step, but you’re going to want to check up on this mechanism after the first day or so. You need to make sure that the feed is only giving you 5-10 posts a day, and you need to make sure that there is no unsubscribe link showing up at the bottom of the posts.

If either of those are happening, you should use the link you saved from the confirmation email earlier. You should then be able to edit the feed. Try changing the post frequency. If that doesn’t fix your problem, just unsubscribe from that one and pick a different feed.

Once you get a feed that’s working, you don’t need that RSSFWD management link anymore.

What you have now is a blog that will run forever as long as the interconnected services remain working the way they are today. You technically COULD stop there, but I’m going to walk you through a process where you can also get some resources to create some unique content yourself that will give your blog an additional human flavor, AS WELL as give you a platform by which you can promote some additional items and promotions.

Step 12: Go to http://news.google.com/alerts - you’re going to set up some keyword targeted alerts to go to your email address. This will be all the info you could possibly need in order to write some original content for all the blogs under this email address. Set up the alerts, then set up a filter in your Gmail account to place a label on these for that keyword. This will help you remain organized when you have multiple blogs associated with this email address.

When you get an alert, open it, check it out, write some quick commentary, then email it straight to the associated blog’s post-by-email address. You can pepper this with affiliate links if you like. I recommend doing this kind of original post at least once a week per blog. Don’t go crazy over it. A couple of paragraphs a week is not that tough. You can handle it.

That’s it as far as setting up the blog. If you just did that by itself, you would get occasional traffic, and probably some occasional ad clicks. You’d get a few cents here and there at best.

The next phase is where we are going to overcome that limitation and start operating at the “meta” level. This is where we will set up the machinery that will interact with your entire blog network, rather than just a single blog.

Phase 3: Let’s get started with your “meta” setup.

First, you need some kind of automated way to promote your new blog, and I’ve found some very easy-to-use tools to do that automatically for you.

Step 13: Go to http://www.BloggerGenerator.com and sign up for his list so you can get the free software tools he offers. I don’t know Joseph Tierny, and I haven’t bought his product as of yet. Maybe it would help with this process, but I’m not sure. I haven’t used it.

BUT… I have used his free tools and I have yet to find better ones for what we’re going to do. So, join his list, get the links, and download BlogPinger, BlogPoster, and LinkGrabber. I understand that his paid tool comes with more powerful versions of the free tools as well, so I’m considering a purchase strictly for that fact.

If the BloggerGenerator works as well as his free tools, it’s worth checking out. Thanks to Joseph for making these tools freely available.

Step 14: The first thing we’re going to do is set the blog up to be pinged using the BlogPinger tool. This is pretty straightforward and fully explained in the software instructions. You just put the URL into the proper text file and turn on the software. Set the software to ping your blogs every 6 hours. If everything has worked out so far, your blog should be getting 5-10 posts a day, throughout the day, so each blog SHOULD have fresh content each time the pings occur. You want this.

These next few steps will need to happen after you’ve run a blog for a week or more. This is because you’re going to need some amount of archived posts in order to complete this next project. Once you do it the first time, you should revisit it and repeat the steps about once a month for each blog.

Step 15: Once your blog has 10 or more posts in it, highlight the archive list in your sidebar. Copy and Paste that list from your blog into a WYSIWYG editor or Word, anything that will copy the html properly. Put a little bit of SEO content about your niche on the page. Use the same SEO checklist we did above. Put a headline and whatever on there, make it a real page. Save that out as an HTML page.

We’ve really only created this page so we can run the LinkGrabber tool on it, but in order for that to work, we need to upload it to the web somewhere, so we may as well make a real web page out of it right? It can only help. Ideally, I need to figure out how to turn this into a Sitemap page so I can submit that. But that’s just an example of how you should be thinking - you build your process, and see how you can do more work with each step, without adding a lot more effort.

Again, experiment - it’s the only way you’ll discover the little tricks and secrets that no one else knows.

Step 16: We need a place to host the page we just made, so open a Google Pages account using your Google account. Upload the HTML page of your links to your new Google Pages account.

Step 17: Use LinkGrabber on the page you just uploaded. You just need to paste in the URL of the page, which you can get from your Google Pages account. LinkGrabber is going to spit out a textfile with all the links to your individual posts.

Take the list LinkGrabber created. Add to it the URL of the page you just scraped from your Google Pages account.

Step 18: Now, this next part may seem complicated.

What we need to do is create a text file with your URLs and your Keyword list in a specific format so we can import it into the BlogPoster tool.

You need line by line, this format:

YourURL$ANCHOR$YourKeyword$ANCHOR$

You need one line for every URL/Keyword combination.

You can really do it just with copying and pasting in a text file, but that’s not the most efficient way to do it, so I will describe the way I do it. In order to do it my way, you’ll need to use a spreadsheet program like OpenOffice or Google Spreadsheets if you don’t have Excel.

So, First, create a new spreadsheet, and paste the URL list from the LinkGrabber tool into the first column.

Then, make a column for the First $ANCHOR$ designator.

Next, take your keyword list and paste it into the Excel in a 3rd column.

And the last column will be for the second $ANCHOR$ designator.

Using Copy and Paste, complete the spreadsheet so that you have an entry for each URL/keyword combination. It should match the format I gave you above, in a spreadsheet format.

Save the spreadsheet and also save a copy as a text file (or copy paste it into a txt file).

NOTE: Examine this text file and make any corrections you may need to (sometimes there are stray tabs and spaces you need to eliminate - it MUST match the format I stated above with no extra spaces anywhere but between keywords).

Step 19: Now, you’re going to use this textfile with the BlogPoster program. You’re going to configure BlogPoster with your blog’s login and ID info (the software’s instructions tell you how).

I should tell you exactly what this BlogPoster tool will do. It will take the text file we just built, and post short lists of links to all the blogs we tell it to.

The text file tells it what to link to, and what anchor text to use. We also give BlogPoster the full list of blogs in our network.

This is going to automatically build deep backlinks to your blog, using your full keyword list. This will increase the search engine rankings for every single post you make, increasing your reach and advertising exposure.

You should compile all your information into BlogPoster for every blog you make, but don’t start running the software until you have 10 or more blogs to post to with it. This will make sure you spread your links across multiple sites. The more you add, the better it will work overall.

Step 20: Look at each step in the whole process. Can you make improvements? Are there different tools you can try? What else can you add to the mix? Make those changes to the checklist, then go back to Step 1 and run through the whole procedure again.

That’s it?

Yep. That’s it. 20 Steps that you can execute over and over again. Once you get good at this, it should take you less than an hour to set up a single blog from top to bottom, and the more you add, the more the network grows, which increases the value of the entire network.

From here, the sky is the limit. You can monetize, customize, grow, and improve this network in so many ways. What you are bulding here is like the basement level of a skyscraper - you can do amazing things by creating a process that you follow over and over, beginning to end, and experimenting, adding to it, and improving it over time, each time you go through it.

For example - the post-by-email works with LiveJournal as well. Blogs.com is adding the feature soon, too. Also, any WordPress blog you host yourself can be used with this entire procedure just as it’s written as well.

Remember above where I told you to keep all those blog send addresses in one place? Here’s why.

Once you have a bunch of blogs, you can send an email to all of them at once, featuring an article with links to a squeeze page, or a product page (your own or one you are affiliated with) - making killer backlinks that get spidered every day.

Pretty sweet right? You have your own content distribution network!

You can of course implement other advertising streams besides AdSense. However, before you switch, set up some URL tracking channels in your AdSense account - find out which blogs are getting traffic (that means you have an audience) - if you’re getting traffic and no clicks, that means you need to try a different offer on the page. If you’re getting clicks, you have a responsive audience and that’s all you really need to make money online. Use the AdSense stats to identify the best responding blogs, then trade out the AdSense on those with something that’s paying you more.
