After spending a fair amount of time reading the posts in this forum and others I'm absolutely amazed at the bullshit that people are spewing as truth. I like blogs, they are pretty easy to set up and if you spend a bit of time in the beginning they can be maintenance free.
The problem is there are people on here saying it takes 20 minutes to set up a blog and in a week you'll be making a buttload of money. Then there are the scammers on here who claim they will set up the perfect blog for you and you wont need to anything and you'll start making money...they even post their "FAKE" screen shots of all the money they make as "PROOF" of their guruness.
Time for a little reality check...
1st - if it was easy we would all be very rich and seeing as how 90% - 95% of the people on this forum have not made a dime in their IM careers ... "IT AINT EASY"
2nd - though throwing up a blog is a fairly simple process learning how to make it convert takes time and testing
3rd - plugins are great...if you know how the hell to use them, if you don't they just piss you off.
4th - content is KING ... read this again ... "CONTENT IS KING" real content, not shitty content. (yes you can automate the process)
5th - how the hell are you going to get traffic to your new cash machine? contrary to popular belief...you really should promote your blog.
6th - I can build two blogs exactly the same for two different people...one will make money from it the other wont...why is that? We'll talk about that later.
I'm not the "EXPERT" on autoblogs...we've built quite a few, had some deindexed by google, made some money with others (still making money with them). We have done a lot of testing of various plugins and monetization models and found a few things that seem to work well. Are there better techniques than what we are using now...sure there are, that's why we test.
As the world around us changes so do the techniques that work...keyword stuffing use to work well...now you get lost in obscurity if you try that.
Here is a quick checklist to start the creative process:
1) select a niche based on your keyword research
2) purchase a domain relevant to your niche
3) get you hosting set up
4) install wp blog
5) change the theme
6) install your plugins
7) add content (manually or automatically)
8) determine how you want to monetize
9) promote your blog
10) add more content
11) promote your new content
12) Hopefully you see the theme here......
My partner and I were talking about some of the shit that is on this and other forums when it comes to blogging. She suggested I write a guide...lol Every time I start bitching about something that's her solution.
But for the past couple of days I've been giving it some thought. I found people willing to set up autoblogs for as little as $75 and as high as $250 but the problem is...once they are set up what the hell do you do with them?
What happens when the UAW plugin starts messing up...how do you fix it. Where do you learn to find banner ads if that's what you what to do...how do you test 15 or 20 banners?
Lot of damn questions...and guess what, the answers change from time to time...ain't that a pisser.
So back to the guide....what I decided to do was go back through the posts I've made here and on other forums and see how much info I've already put out and see about condensing it into a guide.
I may put together a package to sell to BHW members only....I'm not going to insult you by saying there are only 50 packages available...then sell 200 of them...that shit pisses me off...if we decide to do that you will be able to get one or ten whenever you want.
I have no idea how much it will cost yet...not even sure what it will include.
But....If you want to know what plugins I'll use or how I'm going to set it up I'll be happy to tell you....FOR FREE that way you can build your own blogs and you don't have to pay us to do it.
Before you spend anymore money or try some hairbrain idea....ask yourself a simple question
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE....
If it does not then dont do it....lol if it does make sense...ask someone else if it makes sense to them...(takes your wishful thinking out of the question)
Now...for those of you who want to know how much money you can make with your new autoblog....I DON'T HAVE A FREAKING CLUE
That depends on soooooooooo many factors...you may make $1 a day or maybe $100 a day depends on the niche...keywords targeted....content...how well your new blog is promoted and so on. No you wont make $100/day the first month!
I've seen this question many times....even been asked it a few times. How much do you make with your blogs....my answer...NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS. I've been doing this close to five years now...that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
I guess that's enough for me tonight....if you want help...I'll try and help you. If you want me to do it for you...you will have to pay me....lol

Below is a list of some select 2,3 and 4 column Blogger templates and themes sourced from across the blogosphere. Enjoy.
2-column templates
Andreas02 - Lots of tab links above the header. You can showcase the description of each active tab on the header.
Andreas08 - From the same author of the one above. The header is ready to be customised with your own picture.
Agua - A minimalistic clean template giving a pure white look.
Cajas - A blog tittle in a header that looks like the Blogger navbar and five menu links with multi-color backgrounds that tool the place of the traditional blog header.
Colibri - This reminds you of a garden, doesn’t it?
Dead - This one can be described as heavy metal/rock style - sinister and dark.
Eclipse - Another dark theme that brings werewolves to mind. An enchanting template for the dark souls.
Emire - Beautiful color combination but I wish there was more width for the post and the sidebar.
Hada-negra - A beautiful template - seductive and pleasing to the eyes.
Integral - The most striking visual details on this template are its rounded header and the green and sky-blue color combination.
iPhone - An elaborate Wordpress theme converted into Blogger. The large header button could probably be used better.
K2 - A popular Wordpress theme cloned for Blogger.
Minyx - A template that looks like an invitation card. Good use of space in the header.
Mushblue - Striking header color and works well with the dark background.
Natural - If you are the artistic kind, this one will be a feast for your eyes.
Neoneon - This is another unique design - rectangle sidebar boxes and spiral main body.
Red-White Web 2.0 - The buttons are nice. The search bar looks like a candy bar. The color combination is good. A template true to its name.
S08 - A blue color body on a darker blue background - you might have thought it won’t work? But here it is.
Vertical - As a the name suggests, this is a vertically designed clean template. You might want to throw in some more code and utilize the space below the blog title better.
Web 2.0 - A black and white template with a slight touch of blue color on the blog logo and the RSS feed.
3-column templates
Andreas4 - Another popular Wordpress template by Andreas cloned for Blogger. The template can be used as a bare bone structure for customization.
Autumn Grass - I like the color combination and the vertical menu links in the header. There is also sufficient space there for ads and videos.
Beautiful Red Apple - Another nice Wordpress theme converted into a Blogger template, has a 940px width frame, lots of space and customization possibilities.
Butterfly Magic - Another beautiful color combination, or shall we call it just another butterfly effect 
Clean Elegant - Here’s one for all you Photoshop lovers, though we could do without the Adsense ad box, which spoils the whole meaning of the template.
Columnas - This theme’s peculiar design stands out from the rest of the templates in this list. Nice and clean.
Cultivado - Neat, floral, elegant - this one’s perfect for writing on life, philosophy, thoughts, poetry, love and the like.
Dark Ritual - A nice theme which somehow reminds us of Adams Family.
Erudite - A neat three-column Blogger template with the black color header and the orange color RSS icon gelling well.
Fluid Solution - Another cool black and white look.
Fresh Blogger Template - A fresh looking (it really is) green and blue theme. Great usability.
Garland - Drupal’s default look copied to Blogger. Soothing to the eyes, isn’t it?
Glow - If Hellboy or Flash Gordon wanted to blog, this is one template they might like.

Hemingway - A beautiful dark template - one column for the post body and three column on the footer.
Illacrimo - A beautiful clone for Blogger from the Wordpress theme Illacrimo, though I feel there should be a way to use more space currently taken by the date-display on the left of the screen.
Informativo - A similar template to the Columnas template above but with the header, for the less-unconventional bloggers who wants to stick with the proven.
Likewise v1.1 - A clean white template with one column for the post and with three column footer on a black background.
Magazine-Style - A nice template if you have a lot of information and widgets to display up front. It has got a three columns in the main area as well as in the footer area.
Minimalista - Another great port from Wordpress to Blogger.
Minyx 2.0 - A great template without pictures; good use of available space.
Pink Flower - A simple and elegant template with an image of, you guessed it, a pink flower.
Pizza - Don’t be dissuaded by the pizza theme if you are thinking of using this for a different subject blog. The template is highly customizable. The unique element in this template is the header which has been divided into two parts. You can display your blog logo or tittle on the left-side header box while using the other box for whatever you like.
Pro - A different-look search box, menu links above the blog title, and the graduated blue header background in a unique design makes this template unique.
Puerto - Somehow this template makes the post body look grand and majestic.
The Hobbit - If you are a fan of Tolkien, this one is for you.

4-column templates
Slined Mod 2.0 - Somehow, this one seems to fit a music/gaming theme best.
Neosapian - The contrast between black and red is striking. The second right-hand sidebar can be widen further and the red header can be used subtly for ads or to display more information. You decide whether to change the current header image or not
Qwilm - A simple looking great design that can be customized to a great extent.
