How I Make 1,000+ Blogs In One Click (+SEO Optimized)

[@maxmobilesolutions]

I am so grateful for you Jono. You are going to help me change my life.

[@DaphneMarina88]

OK, I am telling my age,, but if you aren't a Dead Ringer for Richie Cunningham (character from Happy Days). The actor, Ron Howard, became a very successful film director. Happy Days...awww. ok, to business. gonna watch now. 😍

[@jonocatliff]

LOL Daphne!!! This made me laugh. I 100% look at him. I've had a few other comments saying this on other videos actually. I'm almost tempted to just change my channel name to "Richie Cunningham" 😂

[@GolfWithDiscs]

Happy Days! Thank you

[@jonocatliff]

No worries, thank you!

Hi, Jono! Great vid indeed. I was wondering if having the X amount of blog posts have interlinking automated as well?

[@jonocatliff]

Hey Bob! Thanks :) I'm not quite sure what you're referring to - my assumption is internal linking. If this is the case, I would use an HTTP module to retrieve your XML site map, and take out some of the URLs from there, to use as internal links in your blog post. Here's the process. HTTP (retrieve site map) > ChatGPT (grab a few links that are most related to your blog post) > ChatGPT (add them into the blog post)

@@jonocatliff Thanks, Jono!

[@MrKosztya]

Good job!

[@jonocatliff]

Thank you very much!

[@ayubansari2711]

Hey Jono are the Images generated by DALL E good enough for blogs or do we need to generate images separately from an image generator like MIDJOURNEY, LEONARDO or Blue Willow

[@jonocatliff]

Great question! I think Midjourney would definitely provide higher quality images, it's just a bit more complicated to set up. If you're able to do it, I'd use Midjourney instead :)

[@hopeaajavaloa]

Again, just a perfect post, I'm gonna take on the use. I wonder if it is possible to include also affiliate links to blog posts from some XML which would have some keywords related to affiliates?

[@jonocatliff]

Thank you very much! I assume you'd already have your affiliate links created, correct? You could create a JSON array of objects, and pass that into ChatGPT to select the best 2-3 affiliate links that fit in your blog post: [ { "product": "Make.com Automation Platform", "affiliate_link": "affiliate.placeholder.com/make", "description": "Make.com is a powerful tool that allows you to automate tasks and integrate various apps without any coding knowledge." }, { "product": "Zapier Automation Tool", "affiliate_link": "affiliate.placeholder.com/zapier", "description": "Zapier is an automation platform that connects your apps and moves information between them automatically." } ]

[@hopeaajavaloa]

I just can't get that Google doc part working :(

[@hopeaajavaloa]

Problem solved, it was straightforward after all. Now the issue is that blog includes those ###, instead of real headings. Like ### Heading 3 and all images are missing. Need also somehow get tags to post also automatically

[@jonocatliff]

Amazing work solving this, it's only straightforward in hindsight! :)

[@amrutag8820]

i don tknow what is going on but I downloaded your JSON and changed some words in prompts. I was trying to get an article about design and the final result came out to VEGAN meals What do i do?

[@JackoHuangwecs]

This is awesome!!!!😊

[@jonocatliff]

Thank you! Best of luck implementing this :)

[@eonwashington]

what is the person for the json if the fields are already available from GPT?

[@jonocatliff]

Hey there, I don't really understand what you're asking. If you're asking why I use a parse JSON field instead of doing the same thing in ChatGPT - you can do either or

[@eonwashington]

@@jonocatliff My apologies, I meant, what is the reason for the json.

[@jonocatliff]

Oh, I see. I just used JSON format here so that I can do a bunch of different requests in one module, as opposed to spreading it across many different modules. It adds complexity, but it makes it more concise. Hope this helps :)

[@AnthonyTori]

Have you done this with Shopify blogs instead of WordPress?

[@jonocatliff]

Hey, I haven't done this for Shopify yet, but you should be able to just replace the Wordpress module with a Shopify module, and choose the option 'create an article' and it should work. Hope this helps :)

[@AnthonyTori]

@@jonocatliff I was having issues formatting for some reason. I couldn't get it to work, but I'll look at it again tomorrow. Would you be able to help with a possible workflow addition? I think having GPT come up with 15 blog post ideas based on keywords would be step 1. Those 15 ideas would go into a Google Sheet and be parked as pending. I can review the sheet and mark which titles are approved. Any approved title will now be turned into an outline and then a blog post.

[@jonocatliff]

Hey Anthony, here's another video you can check out on blog posting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqSWdZKVhb-Bn8U In a nutshell, this explain what you're looking for: how you can post the blogs once they're in Google Sheets. Reflecting back on this video I made, I wish I spoke about generating blog post ideas from SemRush instead as you can easily identify ranking keywords and capitalize on easy wins. To tie this all together, if you want to generate ideas using ChatGPT, you can, then go through them one by one and post them to a Google Sheet. Once in the sheet, I'd follow video number 2 above to post them! Hope this helps :)

[@HealthhZone]

Hi, Jono. Thanks for the videos there are very helpful. I keep running into a problem with the JSON module. It keep saying "Source is not valid JSON" and I'm not sure what to do as I've downloaded and am using your template. Could you help please? Thanks :)

[@jonocatliff]

Hey, thank you very much :) Essentially whats going on is the JSON data isn't formatted properly, and because of that, it's breaking the workflow. Here's what to do: 1. Make sure the max tokens is set to the very upper limit. If the reason the ChatGPT module stops is because of length, this is your problem. Try with only 2 blog posts and see if that works 2. The easiest solution would be to try to download it again. Perhaps you changed the JSON code by accident 3. Paste the JSON code into ChatGPT and ask it to reformat it for you Hope this helps!

[@ArnattKlinsong]

Who is going to read your blog if it is that easy to create? Would the output be pretty generic? IMO, blog tell story of personal experience. I don't think AI can create personal experience.

[@jonocatliff]

Hey @ArnattKlinsong, thank you for the comment. I think there's 2 things that would need to be address here: the use case and the philosophy. 1. The use case here is for businesses to generate more money. One way to do that is by getting more views on blog posts, which naturally turns into more leads or sales (assuming the content is valuable enough to retain viewers and grow a brand). As I mentioned at the end of video, they can be pretty generic, and I personally always have people on our team reading these posts and improving them - one day in the very near future AI will be so good that this probably won't need to happen anymore. In such a competitive business landscape, people are going to do whatever they can to get one step ahead. 2. A large language model like ChatGPT is only as good as its inputs. ChatGPT has inputted every story known to the internet that can be found. As these models improve, I think that AI will be able to share more captivating stories than humans - not because they're real, genuine personal experiences. Rather, they take a top down approach of analyzing what makes a great story, scanning every available piece of information (views, retention, engagement, all the nuances), and create a winning formula that is capable of telling a very moving story

[@urowner]

No one gives a shit if a blog gives you a personal experience. The point of a blog is to get ranked which points eyes towards your website or whatever else you're selling.

[@JR-joren]

would be great for pogrammatic advertising

[@SebKrogh]

Any best practise for storing all the blog content in an airtable or gdrive or similar before posting to blog? I tried storing images in airtable first - but then after a while they disappear.

[@jonocatliff]

Regarding the images, what I would do is use the Google Drive module to 'upload a file'. Once it's saved, create a share link, and set it so anyone can view it. Then paste that link in AirTable. You could also do the same thing with the blog post in a google doc, get a share link and paste that in AirTable as well. Hope this helps :)

[@lifewithnyx9979]

can this method still work if you already have titles for the articles you want to create as to chatgpt creating titles for you?

[@jonocatliff]

Hey excellent question! Yes, absolutely you can in a few steps. Step 1. You'd need to change the trigger here to a Google sheet "Watch For Changes'. Here is a video you can watch where I explain exactly how to do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKrSmnl-r61kftk timestamp: 3:24 Setting up Google Sheets update row trigger in Make.com Step 2. Add in your blog post ideas in column A, titles in column B, and a checkbox in Column C. If the checkbox is checked, the value is true, if it's unchecked, the value is false. Step 3. Set up a filter right after the Google Sheets trigger so that the scenario only fires if Column C is equal to true. Pass into ChatGPT the title, and any other information in your Google sheet, by selecting the row that corresponds to the info, such as titles, etc.

[@beforekamala-z7r]

Will this work if I don't want to use Word Press?

[@jonocatliff]

It depends what you're looking for. You can just export it to a Google Doc and upload it to your website. If you're looking to upload it directly to your website, it depends on the platform you're using. You'd just need to search through Make.com's integrations to see if your website builder is listed there and has the capabilities to publish pages from Make

[@Renee_egan]

Hey these are amazing!! Thank you! I have a 429 error when I run the first 2 modules once to test, Ive added $5 to gpt API but im in make free plan, is that why?

[@jonocatliff]

Hey Renee, an status 429 error code means that you've reached a rate limit. You can only call a certain API like chatgpt a certain amount of times in a given time frame. It's likely 3 requests per minute. This is likely because your account is brand new and this limit will increase overtime. What you'll need to do is put a sleep (in tools, this will delay the workflow for a certain amount of seconds) in between each ChatGPT call, so that you don't exceed 3 calls, or whatever your limit is, within 60 seconds, or whatever the time limit s.

@@jonocatliff im making progress! Im on the outline -> blog gpt module 🎉 Should I be using gpt 4o mini or do you recommend I use 4o (regular 4o)? Also is it possible to duplicate this scenario and use claude instead of gpt, or would it not be compatible? Just curious cause I hear alot that claude is peoples go to for content and gpt for data and scraping etc. Or even not to use claude the whole flow but for the content blog create step im now on

[@jonocatliff]

Amazing to hear Renee, you've got this. Personally, I would 100% use the most powerful model. You're likely using blog posts to either represent your personal brand, or your business, and I always want to put my best foot forward. To me it's worth the extra money. However, if you're looking to save a bit you can use older models - that's just my preference. I haven't used Claude a lot, so I don't have a good answer for you. My intuition tells me GPT is better. I think the best approach is to split test both and see which you prefer :)

[@gabrielassuncao7588]

Can we monetize these blogs? Do I need to pay for a server to host them? thank you so much for this precious content!

[@jonocatliff]

Hey Gabriel, it depends on where you're hosting them. If you use Wordpress, you'll have to pay the domain name and the hosting fees. I recommend Name Cheap to buy domain names and SiteGround for hosting. This is what I use always. I think it's $10 for a domain name and around $15/month hosting (there may be cheaper options). Alternatively, if you know how to code, you could do a stack like Next.js and Netlify for free. There's a ton of different ways to monetize blogs so I'm not too sure exactly which you're referring to. But according to Google's guidelines, AI written content is acceptable, which they recently changed. Best of luck!

By the time you finish these blogs, blogging will be dead...from all the people doing the same shit....watch and see..this advice has an expiration date if 3/months..

[@jonocatliff]

Could be, but people have been saying that SEO is going to die for 10+ years, and it never does, it just evolves over time. I've hire a team of people to generate content for me using this system, and this method has worked wonders for me at an exponentially faster rate, despite the fact that people are producing content at record rates

[@jujjuj7676]

@@jonocatliff well I hope its true.. But its gonna be a rough ride.. With ai its hard to see people using google anymore. Me only hope is original content still being valued... Its tough.

[@jonocatliff]

I understand. I've thought about this for a few years now pretty deeply, as my whole business depends on SEO, Google Ads, or third party lead generation sites that also depend on search engines. But then I came to the realization that alternatives like SearchGPT are going to need to source their content from somewhere, and they'll be directing links back to blog posts like these as a source. There's no doubt that zero click searches will be a huge norm moving forward, but as long as you stay ahead of the curve I'm sure you can find a way to leverage everything going on to come out on top
