Automated Blog Posting
Easy Way To Automate Your Blogs Updates
Go to your blog and create a new post. After you’ve
finished writing the post or article, look to the right
of the text area. You will notice text that says:
Publish immediately Edit

If you click “Edit”, you will see several options. You
can enter a month, day, year, and time for the post to
be published. Do this and click “OK”, and the post
will be saved, but it will not be published to the blog
until the date and time you specified!
So, how can you ensure that your blog is consistently
updated with fresh content if you aren’t a seasoned
writer?
Fortunately, there are several options available,
including one that is absolutely free.
You could choose to outsource all of your content
creation to affordable freelancers, or you could opt
for a second option, incorporating ‘private label’
content into your website.
PLR stands for Private Label Rights. Basically, it
means that someone else writes articles, and then sells
other people the rights to use or distribute those
articles.
In most cases, you are given flexible rights and
options with private label content, including
rewriting, editing and modifying the content as well as
claiming authorship of the material itself.
Private label is an affordable option for powering up
your blog with fresh content and just by spending a few
minutes with each article, you could revamp or revise
it so that it would pass as original within the search
engines.
You can easily purchase a package of 10-20 PLR based
articles for as low as $10, and then take those
articles and hire a writer to rewrite the material
(which is far more affordable than hiring writers to
develop original content).
You could also take things a step further by purchasing
PLR ebooks that could be used to build your blog’s RSS
feed, power up a new mailing list or simply given away
on your blog as an incentive for visitors to return to
your site.
A third option for gaining access to fresh content for
your website is by reprinting existing article content
found within online article directories such as
www.EzineArticles.com
You are permitted to reprint any content found within
the article directories provided that you leave the author’s resource box intact (this is where the author
is credited for writing the material).
When outsourcing original content to writers on
freelance marketplaces and forums, there are few things
to keep in mind:
1. Request Samples of work. This will help you
identify seasoned writers who will be able to
produce high quality material.
2. Ask for references, or just look for testimonials
you can verify. Browse through previous feedback
left by other customers.
3. Search through www.Google.com to determine a
writers credibility. You want to make sure that
you are working with a professional who will not
jeopardize your reputation.
4. Never pay more than a 50% deposit up front. In
many cases, you will be able to pay only after the
work has been created and received.
5. Hire the writer for a small sample batch first,
perhaps consisting of only 1-5 articles. This
will allow you to ‘test the waters’ prior to
hiring them for a larger project.
6. Always check the articles you are given in
Copyscape. http://www.copyscape.com This will
help you determine the originality and source of
the material prior to using it on your blog.
There are a number of freelance sites and forums where
you can find writers:
