Put Content Building on AutoPilot with RSS2Blog

RSS2Blog is a script that’s installed on your server, which allows you to automatically post to one or more blogs. It’s for people who want to setup multiple blogs and have content posted to them on a regular basis without having to do it manually. If you only have one or two blogs, it’s not worth it, but if you’re a serious blogger, keep reading.

I learned about RSS2Blog during my investigation of “portal building”. That’s a nice respectable sounding term for what’s really just a bunch of spammy sites created for the sole purpose of generating Adsense revenue. I’d rather create sites that add at least some value, but to each his own. But one of the tools I discovered during this process makes it very easy to post content to multiple blogs.

If you have a bunch of unique content, such as private label articles or your own writings, you can put your blog on autopilot. Or if you’re going on vacation or plan to be busy for a few days, you can pre-write posts and have them posted automatically.

The way RSS2Blog works is this: you login to the account you setup on your server and create a job that runs on whatever schedule you set. You input the type of blog, userid, password, URL, etc. Then you select the type of content you want to post to the blog. You can choose from Search engine results, news, RSS feeds, text or all 4 on a random basis. Each option has more options, such as number of results, keywords to search for, feed URLs, etc.

So I can create a job to post items in the news about “local search” to my local business blog automatically, without me having to lift a finger. You have to be careful with the keywords you select, otherwise you could end up with irrelevant blog posts.

To me, the best feature of RSS2Blog is the ability to add text. Just think, you can load up a bunch of articles on a topic, each separated by #BREAK# with #TITLE# to indicate the article title. Then have them “drip” into the blog on a regular basis. You can also mix in merchant datafeeds for affiliate income. You can create multiple jobs to post to the same blog on different intervals.

It’s a great program and can be used in many ways, including to make money in the offline world. I’ll just tease you with that for now, more on this subject later.

All in all, I’m very pleased with my purchase of RSS2Blog. It would be nice if it had a feature that would help you format the text with the #BREAK# and #TITLE# tags, but that’s a separate product and requires an additional purchase.

For the serious blogger, RSS2Blog is a must have tool.
