Autoblogs are fun and easy, but they still require a certain amount of technical skill that some people are having difficulty with (as evidenced by my PMs) so I wanted to throw out a couple more ideas for you.
1. Pr0n - Xtube
Tools needed - strong stomach, video editing software
Cost - none
Pros - Free, relatively simple, gets you lots of exposure
Cons - Porn converts very poorly. Between 1:600 and 1:2000 generally. So you need a lot of views
Summary:
I
wrote up a tute on this a long time ago (really entertaining thread too). If you are interested in promoting some adult sites, this is a cost effective method to do it. Here's the short version of the tute:
- Sign up on Xtube
- Get yourself some adult sponsors
- Download their free content (only videos, don't bother with pics)
- Cut / splice the videos into 30 - 45 second chunks
- Upload, wait about 3 days for them to show up on Xtube
- Repeat 4 & 5 daily. Try to upload 3 - 5 videos per day.
Oh yeah, and with the right niche you can get thousands of views per video per day! No kidding. I uploaded a couple new vids a few days ago, and each already has over 12,000 views! Just have to find your niche.
2. Parasite Hosting - Wordpress.com, Squidoo.com
Tools needed - brain
Cost - none
Pros - Free, start with PR and links
Cons - Less control over monetization, plugins, etc
Summary:
Using a free blog account, you can get some practice at blogging and blog monetization without the risk or cost of having it hosted on your server. Plus, you can often get a site that already has PR and backlinks! Not sure how?
Here's how (warning: requires your own hosting and setup) Anywhooooo.... Moving right along.
3. Free Webhosting
Tools needed - FTP client possibly
Cost - none
Pros - Free
Cons - Often has ads embedded on your site
Summary:
There are a lot of free hosts out there, find one and try them out. Some allow you more flexibility than others, but they all limit you in various ways. Here are a couple:
- Google Page Creator
- GoDaddy - when you buy a domain they'll give you free hosting, but there are ads across the top
- Kinghost - Adult sites ONLY! This is one of the few free hosts that almost all of the TGPs are cool with. Even TheHun is cool with Kinghost. They do put a couple small banners on each of your pages though.
Hopefully this helps. Feel free to add to this list of ideas. I just wanted to present some other options to the autoblogs for those that are still kind of on the fence.
