Auto Blogging why it fails every time.

Concept blogging, is all about finding a niche and producing content that people want to read.

Managing content is not easy, it is not push button, it involves working and doing research…

however, developing this type of blog could hurt your business more than help, learn more about that now.

The use of Auto blogs, has been very popular for about the last 4 years.

Google may be about to start targeting more marginal websites, could auto blogs be next

The number one thing to remember when thinking about developing a website is not what to put on your site but what not to put.

Why Auto blogs just do not work and why you should avoid using them.

About every day on Flippa you can see an autoblog for sale, sometimes the websites go for a few bucks but more and more we are seeing a decline in the perceived value of what auto blogging actually is.

The lights are on but no one is home, sounds like an old song, well it is, and like the song, auto blogging is just the same way the lights are on but no one is at home and google knows it too, dont think they dont.

The reasons are numerous but it all comes down to just one thing.

Are you willing to operate a website?

It is not about the website or the design it is all about the material and the content.

If no one sees it they will not come…

If the lights are on but no one is home, you cannot sell anything.

The simple truth about auto blogging is this if the light are on but no one is home, they just will not come.

The tragedy of the auto blog is that it can never succeed.

Imagine an ant hill, where all the ants did the same thing every day, they eat the same food every day, they listen to the same music every day, never a change, always a grey existence that never changes, that is what most websites are like these days, they just sit there withering away because no one is really visiting them, they are like that ant hill, full of ants, but for the most part no one in the entire world knows about those ants so they go about their lives, oblivious to the rest of the world.

That is what an Auto blog is like, an ant hill where everyone is busy busy busy, but no one knows about them…

Are you lazy?  If you are thats ok, lots of very successful are lazy, but there is one big difference.

They work smart, lazy but smart…

Chances are  you have seen these, ads that promise the moon for the auto blogging life style, the set it and forget it mind set.

But guess what, you already know, it does not work at all.

There are so many of these auto blogging platforms, from WordPress to literally more than you can imagine, each one claiming that they can give you what no one else can deliver.

The truth is that Auto Blogging does not work…

Perhaps that is not what you wanted to hear, but sadly it is the truth, I ran several blogs manually, posting every single day sometimes 10 to 12 times a day, sometimes more. I was able to achieve some success, I started getting some traffic, I started making a little from affiliate commissions, like ebay and amazon and yes even adsense.

But then I made a huge mistake, I got lazy…

I started looking for an easier way to do the same thing and get me here there is nothing wrong with that ok, but and here is where I went wrong, you have to know that what you are doing is the right thing to do.

My mistake, cost me several High PR website ratings.

I paid more than $150 for an auto blogging platform, which was reputed to be better than anything out there, it was touted to work when everything else failed to work, but after loosing my PR ratings where I used this auto-blogging platform, I finally realized what I had done wrong, I trusted what someone else told me, just so they could make a few bucks.

So actually I spent a lot of money trying out different systems, I even tried paying a Virtual Assistant to post for me so I could see if that would work, but sadly that too failed, because I found that you have to have at least some interest in what you are posting about.

If you have ever had a good PR ranking then you know how important it can be to building your level of success, because once you get one good ranking, you can use that to link to lower ranked blogs and in turn improve their rankings, it really is a building block to your success.

There may be a few that are successful with auto blogging, but so far I have not see the first one that can say they are successful for more than 30 to 60 days, because, I saw some good traffic in that period, but after that it all went bad, and then it went from bad to worse.

So why does auto blogging software fail to achieve what the people selling them claim?

One of the most important things you can do for your blog is to give it that human touch and that is not often easy to do with automated software, the reason for this is that every single one of these auto blogging software solutions, leaves behind a trail, usually it is something small, like the same type of formatting post after post.

It is this trail that alerts the search engines that something is not right about the blog you might wonder why it matters, all I can tell you is that it does matter and it matters a lot, because you can go from a great rank to no rank and you can go from great traffic to no traffic and that is definitely not what you want.

So the next time you see an auto blogging software special and you read about how you can just set it up once and just forget it, just remember that you read it here, it is a waste of your money and unless you plan on monitoring and baby sitting your blog, you will never see any measurable success.

Kajabi marketing

So where are all the Jabi Millionaires?

Are they in hiding? or are they ashamed that they did not make all that was implied that they could make…

Are they so rich that they are ashamed of how much money they made using the great and mighty jabi?

Remember how Kajabi was the best thing since sliced bread?

Well where are they now, where are all the rich people who have made millions and millions using kajabi?

It seems like every other month someone comes out with some great and mighty Jakabi, type product that claims you will make so much money and you can have all your dreams come true.

Well the truth is that most of the time you end up spending more money buying into the program that you end up loosing money the reason why is simple, they are not being honest about your real chances of making any money using the stuff they try to sell you.

In many ways, it is really all about allegedly promising the moon and delivering well not much in return.

Those days may be about to end, because of a new program

FTC Steps Up Efforts Against Scams That Target Financially-Strapped Consumers

Will programs that do not substantially offer any real wealth creation product, be subject to legal actions?

The Federal Trade Commission today stepped up its ongoing campaign against scammers who falsely promise guaranteed jobs and opportunities to “be your own boss” to consumers who are struggling with unemployment and diminished incomes as a consequence of the economic downturn.

So you decide, was the great and might Jabi,
a success or was it an over hyped massacre?

Ok, perhaps you have heard of the latest and greatest Guru Launch or not.

One thing is clear, it is expensive, allegedly and the setup fee, hmmm, it just seems a little much, but hey you know if you want to spend that much money a month I sure hope it works out for you.

One thing for sure allegedly it is way over priced, I think perhaps 59.00 per month would be a good price point, but they started out at 99 to 299 per month, yes you heard right, amazing I know.

Either way, I wanted to have a look at the sales process, mostly because it is of interest how these programs work to enslave the buyer, opps sorry that was a bad word, perhaps I should say, the methods they use to enhance the buyers interest.

As an Expert in Marketing, and I do mean that, I am old school, back in the days, of trade shows, and cold calling, business customers, this was back in the 1980s yes, before all these so called marketing Gurus were still in high school picking their noses in biology class.

Yes, I am one of those Old guys, from the days of Yore.

This is a very similure product to several “shopping cart solutions” but this has at times past been marketed, with some success, at least for those that were collecting the money.

The problem with all these (high priced) marketing opportunities, is that they rely on several things that the product does not provide you the paying customer.

Traffic, Product and the actual framework for success.

Yes, the product is impressive, or at least the video is, who knows for sure, but you really do have to do more than to just build it and they will come, actually they will not come.

People are way too concerned with the need to actually feed their families, this is part of what the big time famous Gurus have forgotton, greed can no longer be counted on for a sales pitch, and that is what most Gurus have done over the last two years, is rely on greed to sell a product.

I do not recommend this alleged product, simply because it is filled with eye candy and little if any real content, yes, the video is impressive but look beyond the hype and the eye candy for a moment, look at what this actually is.

An Amalgamation, of everything a good marketer already has in stock.

Yes, it is an alleged rehash, but in a different way, yes it could be good but it is allegedly, not good, because of the price point.

Now, make no mistake, if a man will not tell you what the price is, there is only one reason, it is because allegeldy he is ashamed to tell it.

Have you ever been driving up and down the road, and see a classic car for sale, but there was no price displayed, most of the time you just do not stop because you know that the price is going to be so high that you cannot possibly afford it.

If they wanted to really sell the car they would put a price on it.

This is true of anything, if you want to really sell a thing, you have to price it, otherwise people will not take the time to stop what they are doing and take the time to ask you what you want.

Here is a for instance, there were two cars for sale less than one mile apart on the same road, both were trucks, both the same color, one had a price tag of $900.00 the other had just a for sale sign on it,

Guess which truck sold first.

You bet the one with the price listed, because people saw it and knew it to be a great value, they stopped, and looked, that is what you need to do these days in order to get a sale, you have to get the price point right.

If you fail in this regard you could have millions of people as your affiliate but you will not be successful, simply because you have failed in one of the most important sales tenats, and that is to not waste the customers time.

The customers time is just as valuable as your time is, in some cases it is more valuable than yours is simply because they often will not give you a second chance.

So all this smoke and mirror, marketing Guru Gargabe, is not impressive to me it is a Failure, They failed, and this project will be a failure as well.

Simply because there are already too many of these “shopping cart” scripts and products, out there, remember stomper net, ( how is that working out for you guys? )

Oh, yes, they will have lots of press, in the IM world, but sadly in the end, it will be just like most of these Guru Garbage Dreams, the producer will make some money and there will be a few success stories, (fact or fiction) who knows for sure, one thing is clear, this is not for the average marketer, at all. If you have an established, Brick and Mortar store, and you have a “LOT of experience” then this may be a good option, but for say an average, of 90 percent of the “average Joe marketer” this is not that.

But if you prepared to dump thousands of dollars into an expensive and unproven product, where they are afriad to even publish the price before a certain “date” then go right ahead, as for me and my house we will save out money.

Sadly I cannot recommend this product, and I will not be providing any links to it, you can easily google it, or chances are you have at least ten or so emails in your mail box by now and already there are tons of Adsense ads out there promising all kinds of bonus, options, the best bonus in your life if you buy this alleged, over priced over alleged, hyped, product, but in reality, this is already available out there at a cheaper price, yes, you heard it right, you can get all this stuff for less money than you will pay for this Guru Garbage, what you are buying is the convenience of having it under one roof.

The Sad thing here is that they just dont seem to Get, us average Marketers, were the ones that make the IM world go round, not the few and the proud, but the average Joe marketers, these are the real customers, hopefully and eventually we will see that fact reflected in both the price and the actual sales strategies, in the future, until that time enjoy those long and boring videos that the Guru Garbage company has made for you.
