If you have a blog and are desperate for content, there’s a free service that will enable you to receive articles automatically. It’s called Article Marketing Automation, and like I said, it’s absolutely free.
The system is proprietary so I did not include screen shots to help explain how it works. Here are some general pointers:
- While articles are sent to your blog automatically, you don’t have to publish them on demand. The system allows you to review and either accept or reject the material that you receive.
- You can also specify a daily submission limit.
- If your blog concerns a tightly-defined niche, you can make sure that the articles you receive are topic-specific by identifying keywords that you will accept.
An Example Blog
I set up a WordPress blog two days ago for the express purpose of testing the network to see if it was complicated and to test the quality of article submissions. The test blog is set up to receive articles on virtually every topic presented in the Article Marketing Automation (AMA, for short) program. As you can see, there are some pretty good articles that have come in so far.
Nothing to Install. Nothing to Program.
Enrolling your blog into the AMA system is fast and easy. You do not have to install special scripts or plugins, which is great because WordPress and other content management systems are frequently updated and there can be compatibility issues with old scripts or plugins. Everything is done online within the AMA interface. Quite frankly, this was the easiest content delivery program I’ve ever worked with.
The only time-consuming part with enrolling a blog into the AMA system was mapping the AMA categories with the categories in the blog. It is easy to do it, but it’s time consuming if you are accepting all article topics. For a niche blog that has just a few categories, the process will be a lot faster since you will be accepting only a handful of AMA content categories and will thus have less to map.
You can get set up within the next few minutes to receive articles on any of the following types of sites:
- Self-hosted WordPress blogs (WordPress 2.0.x and later)
- Any Drupal site (must have the Drupal XML-RPC API enabled)
- Any Joomla! site (must have the Joomla! XML-RPC API enabled)
- Any other site that has either an XML-RPC API or an Atom API.
Blogs that are hosted on free platforms such as Blogger cannot receive content. Your static html pages such as those created wtih xSitePro will also not receive content.
Some Benefits for Receiving AMA Content
Here are just a few benefits that you, as a blog owner, receive if you become an AMA publisher:
- Your blog will be fresh because you’ll be receiving content.
- You’ll get more traffic to your blog because the search engines like frequently-updated content sites.
- If you’ve monetized your blog with Adsense, Chitika ads, Shopping Ads or other advertising networks, you can make more money because you’ll have lots of new posts created on the fly.
- You won’t be receiving the exact same content as every other publisher in the network because the writers can “spin” their articles within the AMA system.
- You set the timing – receiving just one article a day or 100.
- You don’t have to struggle with constantly writing something new.
Conclusion – You Have Nothing to Lose
Becoming a site owner with AMA is free and easy. It’s an excellent way to get fresh content. Check it out – you can always quit if you’re unsatisfied. And if you’re looking for backlinks and more traffic to your websites or blog, consider joining up as an article writer. We’ll explore the benefits of the article marketing system tomorrow.
