Ok for the last 2 months I've been flipping autoblogs and I was wondering whether it would be in my best interest to just hold on to them instead and build a network of autoblogs instead? As of today I'm averaging $45+ per flip and wondering if I held on to them maybe I would generate more money with Amazon sales and/or adsense or any ppc ads. In the long run I need a situation that is consistently generating cashflow with less workload. Any ideas? Note: This post is NOT for noobs to ask me a million and one questions on how to flip autoblogs. I'm not trying to be an a**hole but I need some insight to better my business. For those wanting that info stay tuned for my flipping autoblogs membership site (wordpress autoblogs) so please be a contributor to the question I'm asking
I really think that's a personal question that only you have to answer once you look at the math. Are you making a living from flipping? Take a look at how much in a day you make for an autoblog on average using Amazon and the rest. Take that number and multiple it by 365. If it's more than the $45 you would be making for selling the blog, building the network would be something to look at.
I have never seen a situation were you can make consistent income with less workload. There is no easy solution. Success takes hard work. Sure there may come a time down the road where you can work less and maintain a steady income, but in the beginning, you have to work hard to get to that level. What you are looking for is the same "dream" that everyone is looking for...an easy way to make money. If it were possible, don't you think everyone in the free world with a computer would be rich? As far as the blog flipping goes..if it's working for you, then I see no reason to stop, however, I would take some of that money and invest in some steadier ways to make income online..like running some "real" sites that over time will produce some consistent income, or offering services. I don't know what a network of autoblogs can produce but it sounds like a lot of work for nothing. You can't make as much money copying the source as you can being the source. I personally think autoblogs are a waste of time and everyone and their mother has them online..totally saturating the net with garbage sites. Blogs that offer original content and market well to their niche will always make more money than sites that scape content from the source. It depends how much work you are willing to do to be successful. Of course there is always the market of catering to others who are also looking for a quick and easy way to make money...probably one of the biggest markets out there....noobs and suckers...and I hear it pays well.
This is true. Anyone looking into autoblogs for a get rich quick or with low ammounts of work will fail and their autoblogs will have a short life. On the otherhand ... content automation and automation tactics will never die, I believe, and will really aid the person who knows and is willing to use them creatively.
hmansfield my intent is to find an easy solution I need some passive income. Autoblogging has it benefits and my mindset is as long as my visitors aren't dissatisfied with the information they are getting they no harm done. I've found alot of my visitors are seeing the content on my autoblogs for the first time and so I'm actually giving them a service they're not getting elsewhere. I think autoblogs get a bad rep because you have those who abuse them as with anything new and gaining popularity. Additionally, my goal is to concentrate on my other projects while I have my autoblogs work for me. If flipping is the only reliable source of income these blogs can provide me then that's what I'll stick to but as with any business you want to maximum your revenues and improve productivity so that's all I'm trying to do.
It doesn't take long to create an autoblog and it sounds like you have a tried and true methodology. Stick with it - $45 per is a nice chunk of change for limited effort.
Yea that what's I was thinking mizaks just wanted to know if there was a more efficient way to generate income from autoblogs.
Hey ramerika, I believe this is the mentality any good developer, especially an autoblogger should have. I see it the same way. As far as passive income. I make about 1.00 a week off of 6 autoblogs that target low traffic niches, and have barely any seo work done. Now this isnt much, but its cool to me because its 1.00 every week that I am not worried about. And 5 months later I have 40.00 in my adsense account. This is a bank for me! A change jar that I can scale up the growth rate whenever I have time.
