Since you have already configure the core of the automated blog plugin, now you will need to add some extra life to your blog.

Ever wondered how can grab Youtube videos and put it on your blog automatically? Thought that was impossible? Not impossible when you have the right plugin!! All you need is the WP Video Tube plugin for Wordpress.

All you need to do is just install the plugin and set it up. Don't worry, I will guide you through the setup.

1) Go to Tools > WP Video Tube
2) Since this is a free version you will only have 3 search terms. Click on Add New.
3) You will see the "Edit Search Term" screen like something below:

Here are some important notes to remember about the configuration:

1) Search: Remember to use a generalize keyword. If your keyword is too specific, you will not get any Youtube videos.
2) Run Every: The "Run Every" option allows you to specify how often you wish to automatically grab the youtube video for your blog. Ensure that "humanize" is tick.
3) Category: Select the right category for your blog
4) Comments: Yes. This will ensure that your blog looks a bit humanize.
5) Post Author: Select which author you wish to publish the video.
6) Post Status: Select publish as you want it to automatically publish the video online. Hey remember this, your blog is an automated blog and is basically a blog for lazy people.

For a start I would recommend that you select the plugin to run every 12 hours , 1 day and 2 days. Please take note if you ask the plugin to retrieve youtube videos less then the time specified above, it might cause your blog to be very very slow.

I have personally experience that therefore that is why I suggest the above settings.

So as you can see you can automatically retrieve youtube video and put it on your blog. Always ask yourself this question, what kind of blog is this? The answer - It a blog for lazy people. You will never ever need to lift a finger to search for this videos. Let the plugin do the job. Keep this in mind your blog is an automated blog!!!.

Unique Articles Wizard Plugin is the heart of your automated blog for lazy people. Without this plugin your blog will not breath. All right enough of the uncessary chit chat. It's time to get our hand dirty and bring this automated blog into life.

1) Before we even configure this plugin, we will need to set up the necessary categories in your wordpress blog. The categories will determine what kind post that you would like to download. Here are some suggestion for a money making automated blog

Affiliate Marketing
Blog Make Money
Home Based Business
Internet Marketing

Money Making Ideas

I think you get the idea. Use the necessary keywords for your categories and the UAW plugin will download the necessary post for your blog.

2) Now that you are done adding the categories, you can now configure the UAW plugin. Go to Settings > UAW-Control

Put in the following Values for Each of this fields:

Your Email - Your email address
First name - Your First Name
Last Name - Your Last name
Maximum Articles Per Day - I would recommend that you select 5 first for your automated blog. You do not want the search engines to suspect that your blog is a "spam blog". In the future you might want to increase the quantity but in a small increment.
Automatically Publish Articles - Have this checked. Since you want to spend as less time as possible, the plugin will auto publish your post. You don't have to leave a single finger.
Add Target = '_blank' - Check this. Any links in the post will open to a new window.
Prefix for Div Class - Leave this blank
Assign Keywords as Tags - Check this
Include Unique Article Link? - Check this.
Your Website Name - It's up to you.
Email Notification Address - Every time an article is sent to your blog the plugin will automatically sent an email to the address that you have provided.
Email Subject Line - Enter a subject that easily allows you to identify the email. Example UAW_Article_
Exclude These Keywords - Leave it blank.
Enable Vide0 - Check it.
Enable Audio - Check it.
Enable Graphics - Check it.
Category - Important: Select all the categories that you have previously entered. However remember NOT to select uncategorized. This is to ensure that you will not receive junk articles that are not related to your niche. Attached is a screen shot.

You can use the above suggested keywords for your money making blog. Those are the keywords I am currently have selected.

Well, there nothing much except to click on "Update & Test". You will receive a message indicating that your setting have been save successfully.

The best part is that when you go back to your blog, you will see the UAW test article on your blog.

Don't expect to start receiving articles though. Check you blog in the next couple of days and see whether you have started to receive any articles. If have not, you might have selected a very specific keyword. Try to selected a much more broader keyword.

Well that's all for now. Next configure the plugin that automatically post youtube video on your blog.

Blog For Lazy People

A lot of my friends ask me how I manage to make money online with a blog for lazy people that require very little maintenance. You can almost bet that 90% of the time you can see their eyes rolling in disbelief when I mention the word lazy and blog together.

Well I don’t blame them. It’s a very competitive world out especially for new bloggers like me that has just started seeking other avenues in making money. Everyone dreams about being the next John Chow. I wish I could put his motto on my blog “I make money by teaching people how to make money”. Doesn’t that sound great? Teaching people to how to make money and in return making some as well? That would be anyone’s dream job.

However, I am still not going to quit my day job and become a full internet marketer. At this juncture in time, I am still not making the big bucks. Not just yet, anyways. I hope that it will change in time. I have showed my close friend what I do online, and the first question that they always ask me - “Where do you find the time to write all those articles?”

It is a valid question and a question that I have asked myself many times. Obviously, starting a money making blog is a real challenge for a newbie like me. How do I come out with the time to write quality content over and over again? What if you are not a gifted writer like I am? Sometimes I might spend an hour or more just to come out with a simple article.

Let’s talk about a hypothetical situation. Let’s say a good blogger will post out new contents from every Monday to Friday and takes a break on the weekends. If we were to do the math it will be 5 days x 4 weeks per month x 12 months per year which is equivalent to 240 post per year. Can you imagine yourself writing that much of articles? Eventually you will run out of ideas as well.

Writing quality content is just the just the beginning. In order to really make money, you will need to market your blog to the readers out there. The key success to any monetize blog is traffic, traffic and traffic. There is nothing else. Every blogger dreams about getting thousands of thousands of unique traffic to their blog daily.

In addition to that you will need to worry about search engine optimization. Without getting your blog SEO compliant, major search engines will not be able to pick up your blog. What good is your blog if it can’t be index by Google?

The issues that I have mentioned above are just some of the most common problems face by new bloggers. Is there a solution to this problem? Yes there is. All it needs is 1 to 2 hours of your time. It's called a blog for lazy people.

All right, enough said. If you are interested, just browse through the entire blog. I have created a step by step instruction on how you can start. Click on the link an start creating a blog for lazy people.
