When Cherif called me up and told me he was in town, I asked him to come over. I quickly setup my Flip and we started rolling.

It was already 11PM in the night and Cherif had to take a flight early morning, I wish we had more time. We were just getting warmed up.

There will be more pre-launch videos coming up with the speakers prior to the live summit happening on August 14th,15th & 16th in Santa Clara, CA so stay tuned.

Lets move on..

The Problem Statement

One of my good friends who is a successful affiliate marketer asked me how he can autopost the daily emails he sends to his list to his wordpress blog.

He is an affiliate marketer, on a daily basis he spends a lot of time analyzing several products in his market and then spends several more hours writing a perfect email copy with an attraction grabbing subject line a subject line that could entice the readers to open his email. All this takes time. For every email he sends he does about 4 hours of work. All this is pretty time consuming even if there are rewards at the end. So he don’t have enough time to update my blog with fresh content.

When he consulted with me I explained to him how he is sacrificing his valuable time for immediate cashflow than building a true asset( his blog) which will pay him many times. After all isn’t internet marketing all about leverage and lifestyle?

Side Note: Just couple of day ago www.bankaholic.com a blog owned by Johns Wu was acquired by bankrate.com for $15.5milllion, apparently Johns built this site single handedly in 2 years

The Solution

If you are using wordpress as your platform you know wordpress allows you to autopost content via email. To configure it..follow the steps.

STEP 1

1. Login to your wordpress admin panel http://www.yourwebsite/wp-admin or http://www.yourwebsite.com/blog/wp-admin
2. click on “Settings” on the right top panel and click on “Wiriting”
3. Scroll down a little bit you will see “post via email’
4. For “Mail Server” refer to your email provider’s settings. In most cases: mail.yourwebsite.com would work
5. “Port 110″ can be left as is if your hosting providers otherwise wants you to do different.
6. “Login Name” should be the unique email id that you will create for your blog. If you blog’s domain name is www.johndoe.com then the email may be “john123@johndoe.com” Now you cannot use yahoo. hotmail and gmail accounts for this. You have to create an email account on your domain. Make sure this email is secret and don’t use this for anything other than exclusively posting content to the blog.
7. “Password” fill in the password for this email account.
8. “Default Mail Category” make sure you select a category to which you want all the email posts to go by default. This is important. If you do not change the “Uncategorized” to something meaningful it not it will effect your search engine rankings”

STEP 2

Now we have taken care of the basic settings but still we have to make wordpress poll the emails that come to the email account into wordpress. There are multiple ways of doing this, I have played with couple of methods. Here they are

Method 1: You can download and install WP-CRON plugin. This will pretty much pull the content from your email and update your site every 15 minutes.

Method 2: Setup “php /full/path/to/wp-mail.php” in a cronjob. This will run the php-script using php, without the need for an extra program to run. Make sure you have PHP enabled, most hosting providers do enable this for you by default.

For more options you can refer to Wordpress

STEP 3

Send an email to the email account you created and see if the email arrives in your blog. You can find the posts under “Manage” => “Manage Posts” => “Pending Reviews”

STEP 4

Now that you have an email account that is receiving emails and connected to wordpress. Just use that email and subscribe to your own email autoresponder. The idea is whenever you send an email to your list. This email account will also receive the email and in about 15 minutes show up in the “Pending Reviews” screen in your word press admin panel.

No open up the post and edit it, remove all the email info such as “HI ” stuff and make it a blog friendly post.

Another quick tip: when editing posts I like using FireFox Mozilla browser as it has a built in spell checker.

Once you are done editing just press publish and you are done.

If you have discipline, you can really make it boom.

You should plan on using a paid or organic traffic strategy. There is no such thing as free traffic and everything costs money – in one way or another. As the saying goes, though, you have to spend money to make money. You want to find a strategy that works for you personally as well as your business.

Some of these take more time to work, while others take less. For instance, SEO takes some time even though it may only cost you your time and talent. PPC, on the other hand, is instantaneous but it requires money to initiate and operate.

Social Media traffic is currently closing the gap between these two somewhat, so you have several choices with varying expense levels.

Make One Blog Post a Day

Many search engines work better with blogs that have regular, frequent posts. You should develop the discipline to write one blog post each day. You may write a blog post for one blog on one day and another post for another blog on the next. You can even write a blog and save it for later posting. The point is to get in the habit and develop the discipline that lies behind making daily contributions to your business.

Develop at Least Two Articles a Day

No doubt about it, SEO article marketing is a great way to draw relevant traffic to your site. When you have the discipline to develop two articles a day, you are on your way to building a solid business. Now, this does not mean that you have to write two articles a day, although if you do, it will certainly help your business. However, you can do research one day, create an outline the next and write the next. You will need to research keywords as well as factual information.

Write One Auto Responder Email a Day

Autoresponder emails are a very effective tool for driving traffic and even more for conversion. You can write e-courses, newsletters and responses to email inquiries as ways of promoting your business. Set aside time each to write an autoresponder each day. Write a five part ecourse over a period of a week, or write some responders for marketing or even newsletters and watch your business take off.

Write One Press Release a Day

Press releases are a great way to promote your business and when done correctly, can drive a lot of traffic to your site. You need to know how to write a press release that is both correct and effective, but all you have to do is search on the internet for information on writing good press releases. If you are submitting your press release to a site such as PR Web, it is important that you know their requirements so that your submission goes smoothly.

Set a Disciplined Schedule

While discipline is the key to successfully promoting your business, it is also important for the survival of your business. Set a schedule for yourself that is disciplines and will help you avoid distractions. Allow a certain time of day for reading and answering your email, a time for writing and a certain time for maintenance. When you set a schedule, stick to it.

Once you have mastered the art of discipline, everything willbegin to fall into place. You will eventually be able to outsourcemost of the functions and tasks that you must complete. However, if you do not develop discipline in the beginning stages of your marketing endeavors, acquiring and attracting traffic will be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible to accomplish.

It is best to become disciplined in the beginning because it will carry you through the good times as well as times when the well seems a bit dry.
