What Are You Aiming For?

In order to succeed with the  Auto Blogger , you MUST have some idea of what it is you are aiming for.  This idea is answered in the question “what are you aiming for”.  In other words, what do you want to earn?

• $200/month
• $500/month
• $1000/month
• $4000+/month
• Not sure??

The truth of the matter may be that you don’t know what you want to aim for, but if you want to succeed you NEED to have a target you are aiming at:

• If you don’t know where you are going, how can you ever expect to get there?
• You must know what you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it.
• Having something to aim for means having a goal, which is crucial to your success.

Goals are CRUCIAL!

Goals are crucial to personal and professional success.  So many ignore this because they want to dive in and start doing things right away, but unfortunately this approach just leaves you spinning your wheelsand going no where:

• Goals are the foundation of what you will build your business upon.
• Knowing exactly what you want to achieve is what will get you there.

Goals are not the only component to your success.  While they are the foundation of what you will build your business on and a motivator for getting there, goals are only the first step.  You also need to have…

A Plan

Larry Elder, an L.A., California radio talk show host, said it well:
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
How can you achieve your goals if you have no plan to get there?  You need to define your goal and then build a plan to achieve that goal.

What is Your Financial Goal and Plan to Achieve It?

99% of you are taking this Auto Blogger training because of a desire to earn more money.  Why else would you be here?  So it’s quite reasonable for you to focus your attention on establishing financial goals.
However, for some, the idea of focusing on money can be problematic in that it is often seen as something negative.  Terms like “greedy”, “money hungry”, etc. are floated as criticisms toward those that focus on money.  But this does not have to be the case.  Consider this…
Wealth is not negative, it is the means by which it is earned and spent that is.
In other words, if you use negative means to earn that money or spend that money in negative ways, than it is reasonable for others to judge your focus on wealth as a negative.  However, if you are using positive means to earn that money and spend it in a positive way, than any judgment others place on you can only be positive.  So the key is to focus on the good that you can do with the money you earn and always achieve your financial goal in a good way.
So be smart.  The successful ones understand exactly:

• What they want to earn (the GOAL)
• How they are going to earn it (the PLAN)
• How they are going to spend it (the SUCCESS)

The  Auto Blogger  Challenge

You know why you’re here: you want to earn money.  And we’ve told you that your financial success is defined by setting a goal and then making a plan to achieve that goal.  In this section of the training we would like to present you with a financial challenge that you can define as your goal.
How would you like to be earning an extra $57,600 a year in PASSIVE income, one year from now? 
By “passive income” we mean money that is earned above and beyond what you are currently earning.  Achieving this goal may result in you being able to quit your current job but that is not the focus here. The focus is setting the goal, establishing a plan to achieve it, and then reaping the benefits of successfully achieving it.
Does the goal of earning a yearly income of $57,600 in passive income ONE YEAR FROM NOW seem impossible?
Well, it’s not … we will show you exactly how to do it!! 
Now, you can set your goals higher or lower if you want but whatever your goal, don’t be afraid … YOU CAN DO IT! 
Don’t look at the number and think, “that’s too hard.”  This training will show you, STEP BY STEP, how to achieve the goal of reaching $57,600. 
Yes … YOU CAN DO IT!

Steps to Completing the $57,600 Challenge

$57,600 a year equals an average of $4,800 a month.  To achieve this goal requires 5 steps:

• Answer the question “why do I want to achieve this goal”
• Create a visual for motivation
• Position your visual for maximum impact
• Create your plan
• Implement your plan

Step 1 – Answer the Question

Answering the question of “how much money do I want to earn” is a good starting point but you need to follow this up with an equally important questions:

• What do I want the money for?
• How will I spend it?” 

To answer these questions, you will want to list all those things you would like to spend the money on.  For example:

• A new car
• Support for a specific charity
• A new home or a cottage
• A dream vacation
• Investments
• Pay off debt

Any number of items can appear on this list.  Now, as mentioned earlier, $57,600 a year equals $4,800 a month.  Taking your list of items, you can now decide how you will apply that $4,800 to those items. 
Here is a made up example for you to see what is meant:

• $1000/month on a new Ford F150 4x4 (includes $250/month on insurance and maintenance)
• $500/month onto my mortgage to reduce it to be paid off in 5 years
• $1000/month into my 401K investments
• $500/month to my church youth group
• $500/month into savings for a vacation to Hawaii for 2 weeks ($6000)
• $750/month into my tax free savings account to achieve a balance of $9000 by the end of the year
• $550/month into an education savings account for my children’s college.  This will add $6600/year.Do you see what was done here? 

By doing this you create one list to answer the question of WHAT you want to spend your money on and then follow this up with a second list that answers the question of HOW you will spend that money.
By breaking it down in this way, you are able to maintain your focus and gauge how well you’re doing in meeting your goals.
NOTE: It is important to remember that this plan is focused on creating a yearly income of $57,600 a year, which does not mean in one year from your start of the  Auto Blogger  you will have earned a total of $57,600. This is important to understand when creating your individual financial goals. The number is based on the principle that in one year from now you will be earning $4,800 per month, which is $57,600 per year.

Step 2 – Create a Visual

The crucial step in realizing your goals is being able to visualize them.  Being able to actually see what you want to achieve increases the motivation to get it done.
In order to create your visual, you can take your list of items that you created and add images to each item.  In our example, we used Microsoft Word to create a document for our visual template.  Adding the images adds an extra boost of motivation because you can actually see what it is you are aiming for.  As well, at the top of the template is your stated goal:
“My goal is to be earning an extra $57,600/year by (insert date here) so I can afford every month to spend my money on the following…”
Put a date of one year from the time you begin executing your plan.

NOTE: The images are taken from off the web (e.g. Google Images).  Since this is a personal document (not meant to be shared with anyone) it is okay to use any image you wish to as there is no copyright infringement involved.

Step 3 – Position Your Visual

“Out of sight, out of mind.”  That’s how the old adage goes.  In other words, if you don’t see it, you’re likely not to be influenced by it. 
In this step you want to change this to “In sight, in mind.”  Place your visual somewhere where it serves as a constant reminder for you.  You can frame or laminate it for emphasis, and place it somewhere where you will see your goals EVERY DAY, whether at your workstation, your bedside table, wherever. 
Each day, REVIEW THEM!  Go over your goals.  Look at the images.  Gain inspiration by what you see and read.  Then go ahead and continue executing your plan in a highly motivated way.

Step 4 – Create Your Plan

Now that you have your list of goals and a visual of them to help motivate you, the next step is to create your plan.  Your plan is really created by reverse engineering (working backwards) from what you want to achieve to how you’re going to get there.
In this training, we’ll walk you through the $57,600  Auto Blogger plan which is the plan you will follow over the next year to achieve your goals.  Now as you go through this plan you will see how you can easily adjust the numbers to achieve whatever goal you want to achieve.  You will also see how realistic and achievable this goal is when following the Auto Blogger system.
Based on experience, each blog you create with the  Auto Blogger  system should earn you approximately $40/month on average.  You can earn even more (and we do) but $30 - $40 a month is a good average income to achieve. 
You will also find that many of these blogs will produce MUCH more then $40 per month (many times more) but that is not always the case.
To do this:

• If you spend 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, you can build 10 blogs a month, which equals $400 each month from those 10 blogs.
• If you build 10 new blogs each month for 12 months, you will have created 120 blogs (each earning $40 a month) for a total revenue income of $4800/month. 
• At the end of 1 year, you will have 120 blogs earning you $4800/month for a grand total of $57,600/year.

So your plan is to create 120 blogs over the course of the next year using the  Auto Blogger  system.
NOTE: Yes, it is possible to manage 120+ blogs. This may appear to be too much when starting out, but as you begin to gain experience with the system, processes will become much clearer and easier. You will also want to reinvest some of your income into hiring people (outsourcing) to help manage parts of your auto blog empire. Do not worry or get hung up on issues like this, focus on the plan laid out before you... follow through on the steps... take action and you WILL succeed.

Step 5 – Implement Your Plan

With everything in place (your goals defined, listed and prominently displayed for daily review and inspiration, and your plan for how to achieve your goals), the next step is to implement your plan.  Simply follow the exact steps of the  Auto Blogger   system and repeat the process every month to achieve the goal of $57,600/yr in one year.

• Step 1: Create a detailed list of what you would spend your money on.
• Step 2: Create a visual for motivation using our provided template.
• Step 3: Post your visual at a place you can review them daily for maximum impact.
• Step 4: If not following the $57,600 plan, then create your own plan.

Going Forward

In this tutorial you have:

• Gained a clear idea of what your goals are and how to achieve them
• Created and prominently displayed your visual motivator
• Learned about the Auto Blogger Challenge and the steps involved in completing it

In the sessions to come, we will get into how to research, build and promote your auto blog empire that is going to earn you a recurring income of $57,600/year in a year.

Are you ready?  LET’S DO THIS!

Blog Automizer

Blog Automizer: An Auto-Blogging Introduction
Welcome:

Welcome to the "Blog Automizer" training area. From the philosophy behind this system to step-by-step instructions on how to install, configure and promote your blogs, this training gives you the complete how-we-do-it approach to building your own auto-blog network. If you are unsure of what a "Blog" is, it is essentially a website that uses a specific type of back-end platform (script) to help manage its content and appearance (template, colors, fonts and more). For the most part they are much easier to set up and manage then a standard website. There are many types of "blog" platforms that can be used, but our recommended choice is provided from "WordPress" and is 100% free and VERY powerful. We cover more on this in Lesson 10.

You should have no problems finding the information you need. Starting at the beginning .... that's right here .... and moving forward step by step through the lessons, everything you need to be successful is made available through video and text. If it's not found directly on the lesson page, we provide the necessary links to get you to it.

We do want to point out one thing, though. When we put this training system together for you, we originally used PDFs for the text portion. Well, we moved all that information to right here on the web (yep, you're looking at it!). Now, while we've made every effort to remove references to the PDFs from our training material, you're likely to encounter some, particularly in the videos. We apologize if that confuses you. Just ignore the reference as it refers to the information you're already reading.

So with that said, let's get on with the business of learning to build your auto-blog empire.
Purpose:

The purpose of this first lesson is to introduce you to the process of auto-blogging.  It will explain what auto-blogging is and where most auto-blogging models go wrong. Finally, this lesson will cover what you will be learning and creating with the Blog Automizer system.
Auto-blogging – An Introduction:
1. What Is It?

Generally speaking, auto-blogging refers to the process of creating blogs that are set up to have certain tasks done automatically.  For instance, with auto-blogging you can publish focused content (content that targets a specific topic) to your blog(s) as well as automate the task of creating back-links (links that point to your blog from another website or blog). The details of how those things are accomplished will be explained as you go through the training.
2. Why Use It?

There are three main reasons why auto-blogging is a valuable tool in your marketing campaign:

1. Love of the search engines:

Search engines absolutely love regularly updated content.  In context of your relationship with the search engines, freguent updating (such as a new blog post every day or two) is a good thing.

At present, Google holds about 70% of the search engine market share, this number fluctuates a lot but the point is that Google is the big boy in this game and that about 70% of search engine traffic flows through Google.  While other search engines are of value, you definitely want to focus your attention on Google above the other search engines.

2. Time is money … don’t waste it:

Creating focused content or having to spend time configuring back-links can be very time consuming, especially in markets that you have not yet proven to be profitable in.  Auto-blogging can take care of those tasks for you, freeing you up to focus on tasks that have a better return on investment.

3. Time is money … use it wisely:

Like already said, auto-blogging takes care of such time consuming tasks as focused content publishing and back-link creation for you automatically.  This frees you up to quickly set up multiple blogs with which you can quickly test multiple different micro-niches for profitability.  Once found, you can then move on to expansion and domination!
Auto-blogging – Where Others Go Wrong:

Auto-blogging has been around for some time and the use of auto-blogging systems is not uncommon.  However, these systems have received a bad rap over the years because of their over-emphasis on speed and have made even the term "Auto Blogging" one that sounds bad to some.  For example, an old 2004 model of internet marketing suggested that internet marketers should focus on fast results (quickest ROI possible) rather than on quality of content.  The result?  Blogs were built with a mashup of useless content that had little to no value to visitors of the site.  The hope was that the site visitor would simply ignore the content and move straight on to clicking on the ads (after all, that’s where the revenue comes in).

Well, in today’s tech-savvy market, this model no longer works.

Not only are discerning visitors demanding quality but so are the search engines.  As already mentioned, search engines love updated content but now they demand a more natural content flow.  By ‘natural’ we simply mean that it has all the appearance of human involvement.  By producing quality updated content, you offer value to both the search engines and your human visitors.  So, while speed is an important component to the marketing process, you definitely want to give attention to quality.
Blog Automizer – Learning and Creating:

As mentioned earlier, this tutorial is an introduction to auto-blogging and the Blog Automizer system.  In the following sections we will discuss the final two points of this introductory tutorial: what you will learn and what you will create with the Blog Automizer system.
What Will You Learn?

There are three main items that you are going to learn in this course:

    How to research and identify hidden and potentially profitable micro-niche markets around a "Core Focus" that you can drive traffic and leads to. What’s a “core focus”?  It’s any number of things, such as an affiliate product, a website you already own, a business you have, an opt-in you’re trying to get leads for or a category of products like "Kayaks".
    How to create small high-quality and high-value (value to search engines and humans) auto-blogs for each discovered micro-niche.
    How to identify and filter out the money-makers and what to do with the winners and the losers, with the intention of helping you focus your energy on the sites that make you a lot of money vs. those that make you only some money.

What Will You Create?

The creation of your auto-blog network involves the following points.  Remember, this is just the introduction – each of these will be discussed in more detail in subsequent training sessions:

    Identify your “core focus” site (website, email leads, affiliate products, etc.)
    Create a number of micro-blogs, all pointing to your “core focus” site
    After about 4 weeks (usually), start to identify those blogs that are starting to earn good revenue and getting good traction with the search engines
    Add more custom / unique content to the identified sites and start an aggressive traffic-generating campaign
    Decide what to do with lower-earner sites
    Build more auto-blogs and repeat the process
