Flipper #2 in progress

Rather than do 1 flipper per month, I decided to do one per week. The reason for this is two-fold;

  1. From March onwards, I can sell flippers on a weekly basis.
  2. Should they fail to sell, I have a whole load of new sites with which to do something.

My checklist;

  • Domain Name found and registered - check
  • Name Servers set-up and Whois made private - check
  • Website Hosting set up - check
  • Wordpress installed and configured - to do
  • Nice wordpress theme found - to do
  • At least 100 articles ready for posting - check

On my previous flipper, I manually posted all 90 or so posts, ready for them to autoamtically come on-line on a day by day basis. To enable this I had to install a couple of plugins, namely, pingfix and wp-cron.

Will then reminded me about Rss2Blog, which is perfect for the job of posting articles on a daily schedule. Though I do own Rss2blog, I don't have it installed on this computer as I found no good use for it after my initial testing period a year ago. So I opened a support ticket asking where I can download the latest version from - 4 days later I am still awaiting a reply! Support Sucks at Rss2Blog.

So, that idea is out of the window. What I intend to do is post to each of the blgos once per day - there is a good way to do this, I'll try to explain…

Each time I set up a new blog, I will go through the above checklist. I will then open up my folder of "subject" articles and the "write" page within the WP admin area. These will then be placed into a bookmark folder.

Firefox has a feature where you can click the middle button (or scrollwheel) on your mouse - what will happen is that each bookmark within the folder will open into it's own page. Thus, I can easily open folders of articles and write pages and do a simple copy/paste each day.

It's a little more work, but I don't mind that. A minute or so per day, per blog, is not so bad.

    How are you picking the niches?

    Are you varying them or keeping them all similar?

    Generic niches or consumer related?

    etc…

    Gary,

    I have just had a plugin developed to do just this (post articles to WP blogs).
    If you want to beta test it, drop me a line. I will be offering it as a KA MOSO when it has been tested.

    Price.

    Say setting up the website costs five quid ($10).

    How long til you plan to sell this site, and for roughly how much?

    45n5; I have to be at least half interested in the Blog Contents. And then I have to have enough articles to cover the 90 days need. Pretty generic.

    Peter; I would certianly be interested in testing this for you. I'll chuck you an email, thank you.

    Jim; I would expect at least 20*ROI.

    RSStoBlog support is truely awful, but it sounds the ideal product for what you're doing!

    If you don't mind sharing, how are you planning to market the blogs for sale after the 3 months?

    ODAD, they've at last got back to me asking for my paypal email address. Even though I had included the email address and the transaction ID in the original ticket. Bunch of jokers.

    Oli; Sitepoint, Keyword Avalanche, Warrior Forum. All full of people ready to buy such products. Maybe even DDN…
