First Questions on Wordpress Monthly

Yeah – I knew folks wouldn’t keep their hats on (either color) and questions started coming in after I mentioned Wordpressmonthly.

What’s it do – how’s it work – how many fish can swim in a bathtub.

I told you I wasn’t done   I’m adding new features but let me explain what I’m doing and where I was trying to go — and of course I’ll mention the competition because after all they gave me the idea(s).

Fantomaster’s – 20 links a day program ($157). Concept is simple. You provide them with articles and they put it up on their network.  Your still working here…. but the important thing is your getting your articles up on different c-class IP’s.  Lot’s of other problems there, and your dependent on their network staying up.

Auto Blogging Solutions – Caffienated Content, auto blogger, data presser, etc.. (varies from one time charge to silly amounts per month): 90 percent of these solutions are content spinning crap.  Don’t get me wrong – content spinning has it’s place but if something can be built that “works” and isn’t a spam flag at a human review let’s do it right?

Stomper Net ($800 month?): I’ll admit I’m not a member of stomper net.  But my understanding of it is/was/might be that you submit your articles and content and other members publish it.  That’s what I read/heard and I’ve always thought it was a good idea.  I’m cheap enough though that 800 a month for ANY service is silly.  I know some of you might be members or something – and I’m sure there is a community there or training, or 309 gigs of interview vidoes.  Still not bitting – but I do love the idea whether I’m right or wrong.

I also needed a way to “stomp” out the footprints that most autogenerated tools for the masses has.  That means that NO posts should ever be the same, there should be SOME patterns that change, etc..  I also know that every single site I put into the system should “pay it’s own way”.

That means a couple things:

1.) I need more people submitting and using the content that’s submitted.  So I need to make it affordable and still pay bandwidth and moderation costs.

2.) Some of those people (me included) won’t want to write so I won’t make them.

3.) The platform has to be easy and an established FAST way to get a website up…. so I’m going with wordpress.

4.) And users should be able to define their own risks.  That means a community moderation on top of my staffs moderation – like a voting scale on any submitted content.  You pick the point on the scale you want your blog(s) to be.

I imagine a new member joining would do something like this:

Sign up.

Submit a few of their blogs into the system.  That’s going to include picking a category on our site, and a category on their blog where the posts should go.  Ohh yeah – a few (just a handful) of keywords.  Then they will pick their ‘risk’ factor and monetization methods.

Add a few of their rss feeds to the system if they want.  They should suggest a rating system but be aware that it will be moderated.

Add a few content items. Content isn’t just full blown articles – it could be a paragraph or just a thought.  Like a comment – or a full blown article.  Good news – your links can go in there.

That’s where I’m at – pretty much everything I’ve mentioned is done and I’ve got a few more little features and clean up to do that I want to add.  I’m pretty sure since I’m looking at a public price of way less than 100 per month — and a lot less for my NSS 2 members (free if you’ve got a subscription there) we are in good shape.

I’d love to hear your thoughts – If I’ve explained things well you should “get it” – your content and other people’s content, affiliate ads, and other things we can pull up based on keywords gives us a HUGE (and I mean huge) variation of post styles, content, etc..)  I’ll probably be adding in things like datafeeds from some of the online merchants and tying in reever, metacafe, etc.. over time.  I’d love to know what you want in there as well though.
