So what is Auto Blogging?

There’s so much content out on the internet and much of it never gets seen. In my thinking, An Auto Blogger finds that content, fishes out the best, cleans it up, and then reposts snippets of the original content in a manner that might possibly illuminate that original content and bring it to the fore.

An Auto Blogger spends time looking at the content out there within the scope of his niche or area of interest. An Auto Blogger uses the tools at hand to find the best content for his audience.

A search engine reposts much of what it finds. An Auto Blogger is not a blanket repost of everything out there but a curated collection of the best there is.

Isn’t that what my friends already do on social media sites like Facebook?

Yeah, but you’re going one step further. You’re actually building a website and setting yourself up as an authority of sorts on the subject at hand due to your singular interest in that subject.

Often your friends are just reposting or sharing something reposted or shared by their friends.

Where am I going to find all this content?

You’ll probably start slowly. Finding a few RSS Feeds. Perusing search results. Finding the best of content in your niche. Fielding suggested content from other users.

There is a slightly different way of doing this also. There is a type of site called a bookmarking site. Look at sites such as Digg – What the Internet is talking about right now

And one other concept worth mentioning is the Social Media empowered websites with forums and WordPress sites loaded up with options like Buddy Press and Press Forward. These sites require more moderation but are a great way to build a community over time that then builds all your content.

The drawbacks?

You’ll need to be involved daily in these sites.

Someone might get upset with you and take actions to force you to remove their content.

You can circumvent much of the upset content provider or blogger problem by clearly stating your communication channels and methods of dealing with complaints.

I’ve been doing this for 5 years and only had two concerns raised. One was a naysayer who declared I’d be sued immediately and another person who just didn’t get it. They understood Google, Digg, the social media operations, and big ‘Silos’ doing this but I, as one person on an unknown system, was stealing.

On the opposite side I’ve seen several sites modify their TOS to encompass what I and many other sites do.
