I posted this in another thread, but it was suggested to put it in it's own thread so I took the advice and here it is.

I'm looking to put together the ULTIMATE blueprint for making money on autopilot with blogs. I know that sounds very generic and vague, but let me explain.

I've been curious about this for some time now too. I'm looking to diversify my income, and am very interested in creating a network of auto-posting blogs for either linking purposes or Adsense/affiliate purposes because it really seems to fit in well with my overall business model.

Throughout all my forum reading, ebook buying and reading, etc I haven't seen one cohesive BLUEPRINT for doing all of what I mention. (a footprint-free blueprint)

I know it would probably be a great product, but I think with all the great minds we have here we can create a great step-by-step system for accomplishing this sort of autopilot income.

Not looking really for mass-generated, duplicate content (from same RSS feeds) or gibberish blogs. More Gray hat than anything.

The system I want to create MUST be:
*Scalable
*Automated
*Broken down into easy steps so inexperienced workers/outsourcers can easily be trained via video and PDF to do the setting up and the work that can't be 100% automated.
*Practical- not 1000 blogs in 1 day...trying to be "natural"
*Longevity
*Can be a mix between black hat splogs, never meant to be seen by humans, which support the more grey/white hat "money sites"

Blogs that are created easily, look nice, leave no footprints.

This means not putting adsense on most of them since you'd be letting google in on all the sites you own obviously.

From what I gather, these would be in the automation toolkit: (Everyone might have preferences to alternative software, but I'm just looking to make sure the basic functions are covered)

*RSS2Blog for auto-posting content.
*WPMassInstaller for creating many blogs.
*AutoSocialPoster/RSS Bookmarker to bookmark each post, getting backlinks and possibly some traffic
*Some mass account manager to monitor everything in 1 place

Content Sources:
*RSS feeds for RSS2Blog (have to be randomized, synonomized, rewritten, something...)
*Article Directories (scraped w/ orwell pro, rewritten by outsourcer or content solution-type product, imported into an RSS feed to drip into your blogs)
*Original, written by outsourcers (ehhh)
*Generated Crap/Markov Black hat "spider food" for later seperate "support sites"

Linking: without links, no traffic or rankings. Million methods here of course...but for more "natural" methods...
*Signing up for multiple web 2.0 sites (Squidoo, Tumblr, Hubpages, Clearblogs, etc) posting backlinks to blogs (SE Nuke, etc)
*Social bookmarking via AutoSocialPoster/RSS bookmarker, other software tools too
*Blog network services
*Article submission (UAW)
*Blog Comments
*PR's
*Manual 1-way Directory submission (cheap and effective)

Later On:
*Split testing Adsense with CPA, affiliate links, other contextual, etc.
*Support money sites with BlackHat stuff...search engine cloaker sites on multiple IPs with advanced plug-ins.

For sites in the same niche, all different IPs if we are linking them together.

This brings me to the point of what the blog network is for:

1) that a whole network of blogs could be themed just to boost rankings for your clean white-hat money sites, and aren't monitized at all. They are ONLY for backlinks. So, Markov content might be ok on these types of blogs, but I think human-readable content is still better if it can be created cheaply and quickly.

2) the blogs could just be there own sites, monitized directly and not really there as part of any "support network"

What do you guys think...suggestions, additions?

I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around all the different options, techniques, plug-ins. I know there are 1000 ways to do it, but like I said, I have yet to find ONE resource that shows a complete step-by-step blueprint for creating an automated income stream this way. There are a lot of newbie-type ebooks for people who would rather spend time than spend money. I am at the point where I'd rather spend money (on outsourcers, content writers, programs, plugins, etc) and keep my time to focus on other things.

I'm open to paying for training, systems, software, support, or partnering up with people....

This isn't meant to neglect newbies, I just feel there is plenty of material online to help get your feet wet, but not a lot of matieral for more experiened marketers to "take it to the next level" and really scale up.

thanks
