I know this post was made in 2016, but auto blogging is still around in 2022.
But here's the interesting part. "Auto blogging" has actually evolved over the years.
Previously auto blogging was as simple as just stripping RSS feeds and just republishing somebody else's content.
You do this with hundreds of different domains with different distribution lists, and you basically just make money through sheer volume.
Each website barely makes any money, but since you have so many of these websites, little trickles of income can add up to a mighty river of revenue.
Well, since Google has been cracking down on that type of auto blogging, the game has changed, and people have started switching to content-generated, artificial intelligence-generated content.
There are a lot of people who say that this works.
But thanks to the recent updates by Google, it appears that this is not actually a favored content creation path as far as big G is concerned.
As you can well imagine, there's a tremendous amount of pressure on this type of auto blogging.
But one type of auto blogging that I noticed that continues to do well involves republishing or rewriting social media posts.
Regardless of the social media platform you're on, there is bound to be some content that will go viral on that platform.
A lot of people would republish that content and put it on other platforms or have Google index it.
Again, to maximize your chances of success and increase your ROI, this approach probably requires a volume-based system, meaning you have to have a lot of domains and different themes, and just set up software that automatically republishes.
But if you want a more hands-on and stable type of "auto blogging," I would suggest that you not auto blog at all and actually manually rewrite content.
Does this method work?
Well, look up Bored Panda and pay close attention to how many page views it gets.
That should answer your question.
