3) Category: Select the right category for your blog

5) Post Author: Select which author you wish to publish the video.
6) Post Status: Select publish as you want it to automatically publish the video online. Hey remember this, your blog is an automated blog and is basically a blog for lazy people.

For a start I would recommend that you select the plugin to run every 12 hours , 1 day and 2 days. Please take note if you ask the plugin to retrieve youtube videos less then the time specified above, it might cause your blog to be very very slow.

I have personally experience that therefore that is why I suggest the above settings.

You will never ever need to lift a finger to search for this videos. Let the plugin do the job. Keep this in mind your blog is an automated blog!!!.

Well, there nothing much except to click on "Update & Test". You will receive a message indicating that your setting have been save successfully.

The best part is that when you go back to your blog, you will see the UAW test article on your blog.

Don't expect to start receiving articles though. Check you blog in the next couple of days and see whether you have started to receive any articles. If have not, you might have selected a very specific keyword. Try to selected a much more broader keyword.

Blog For Lazy People

A lot of my friends ask me how I manage to make money online with a blog for lazy people that require very little maintenance. You can almost bet that 90% of the time you can see their eyes rolling in disbelief when I mention the word lazy and blog together.

Well I don’t blame them. It’s a very competitive world out especially for new bloggers like me that has just started seeking other avenues in making money. Everyone dreams about being the next John Chow. I wish I could put his motto on my blog “I make money by teaching people how to make money”. Doesn’t that sound great? Teaching people to how to make money and in return making some as well? That would be anyone’s dream job.

However, I am still not going to quit my day job and become a full internet marketer. At this juncture in time, I am still not making the big bucks. Not just yet, anyways. I hope that it will change in time. I have showed my close friend what I do online, and the first question that they always ask me - “Where do you find the time to write all those articles?”

It is a valid question and a question that I have asked myself many times. Obviously, starting a money making blog is a real challenge for a newbie like me. How do I come out with the time to write quality content over and over again? What if you are not a gifted writer like I am? Sometimes I might spend an hour or more just to come out with a simple article.


Let’s talk about a hypothetical situation. Let’s say a good blogger will post out new contents from every Monday to Friday and takes a break on the weekends. If we were to do the math it will be 5 days x 4 weeks per month x 12 months per year which is equivalent to 240 post per year. Can you imagine yourself writing that much of articles? Eventually you will run out of ideas as well.

Writing quality content is just the just the beginning. In order to really make money, you will need to market your blog to the readers out there. The key success to any monetize blog is traffic, traffic and traffic. There is nothing else. Every blogger dreams about getting thousands of thousands of unique traffic to their blog daily.

In addition to that you will need to worry about search engine optimization. Without getting your blog SEO compliant, major search engines will not be able to pick up your blog. What good is your blog if it can’t be index by Google?

The issues that I have mentioned above are just some of the most common problems face by new bloggers. Is there a solution to this problem? Yes there is. All it needs is 1 to 2 hours of your time. It's called a blog for lazy people.

All right, enough said. If you are interested, just browse through the entire blog. I have created a step by step instruction on how you can start. Click on the link an start creating a blog for lazy people.
