Here we go again. Blogging Buddy! Really? I like Autoblogging 3.0, at least it has some sound of sanity. The actual program is titled “Blog Blueprint“. An autoblog program which is the brain child of Jason Potash & Jason Katzenback.
Blog Blueprint has a pretty decent Alexa ranking, driven by a relentless AdWords campaign I’ll bet. Well I don’t have to kick the product. But I sure as hell don’t have to give it the old two thumbs up either. I mean I can understand the desire for Internet Marketing Dollars. But Blogging Buddy?
Auto Blogging has been around since Blogging was thought of as a possible money-maker. I have several. I’ve never made a dime in 18 months off my auto-blogs. I just syndicate my content and watch the Alexa ranking sore. My first auto-blog now = 7,561,939 on the old Alexa scale.
My competition just sold out to some company for 700 million. They said they were at the “big warehouse” stage and that just was not for them. I may miss my mark here but I don’t think my first auto-blog is going to get it.
I do a little better with this Blog here at “Bloggers Market.com”. I actually work the thing. The set-it and forget-it thing just is not going to get it. Even if you made any money at all you still have to work it. New affiliate offers are not going to magically appear inside your auto-blog.
You have to work a Blog. The reason? There are so many out there who are willing to do the same thing; work it. Consider Jean Sarauer, see worked her Blog for about a year before it almost killed her from all the work it takes to keep a popular Blog going on your own. I don’t think she made too much money at Blogging either.
There is a happy balance here of course. There are few that find it, I’m afraid. Keep reading; keep trying; keep as positive attitude as possible. And bank any money you may make ……….. to hire a staff to run the thing! Now that’s an “Auto-Blog”. I believe that I can safely use Yaro Starak here as an example.

Time To Hit The Lecture Circuit – Lesson 34
Once you have a potential product launch underway or are close to it, all that is left, is to blow your horn. You should be doing as much writing about the new product as is possible. You have the “Adwords” thing to go yet. That cool little post comes next week and then you’ll need to hit the lecture circuit. Not really of course, but by the time you get through, you will feel as if you’ve been on the road for a month.
To properly announce a product, you have to hit all the Blogs that you possibly can and announce your new launch in the comments that you make on their site. Some common sense is called for here of course. Don’t just blow into someone’s Blog that you have never visited before and post a comment about your product launch. Bad idea. You should have at least visited 50 Blogs in a year (that’s just one a week) and gotten to know their owners or moderators. These are the good folks that won’t mind if you leave a link or two in your comment post. Don’t forget to mention your affiliate program. And don’t wear out your welcome! Watch the repetitiveness closely.
If you are visiting a Blog that you have never visited before let the “Comment Luv” plug-in provide you with the link that you need announcing your product. Comment Luv is a popular plug-in that is utilized on most Blogs, mine included. Comment Luv places a link at the bottom of your comments that you make on other people’s Blogs. That link is back to your Blogs latest post. So you have to make sure that you have a number of posts …. at least your latest one, written about your new product launch.
Visiting as many Blogs as is possible at this time (during a product launch) will build momentum and traffic back to your Blog and your product launch. This is really the best and most cost-effective way to launch a product when you first start out. Aside from this technique and the Social Media outlets, you’re left to the dreaded “Google Sandbox” or Adwords as we in the Blogosphere call it.
