Q & A
What is the purpose of the AI automated blogging system described in the script?
-The AI automated blogging system is designed to take the latest news articles in a specific niche, turn them into blog posts, and automatically post them onto a blog. This process is meant to save time and money compared to manual article creation and posting.
How did the process of creating and posting blog articles change from a few years ago?
-A few years ago, the process involved hiring a writer, waiting for them to finish the article, and then manually posting it to the blog. This was costly and time-consuming, often costing hundreds of dollars per article and taking weeks to complete. Now, AI can perform these tasks at a fraction of the cost and in almost real-time.
What is the first step in setting up the AI automated blogging system?
-The first step is to go to Google News and search for the topic you want to write about. For example, if starting a blog on artificial intelligence, you would search for 'artificial intelligence'.
Why is creating an RSS feed necessary in this process?
-Creating an RSS feed is necessary because it allows the system to monitor and retrieve new articles from the Google News search results. This feed is then used to trigger the AI to start the blog post creation process.
What is the role of make.com in the AI automated blogging system?
-Make.com is an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tool that allows users to create automations without coding. It is used to visually set up the steps for the AI to follow in creating and posting the blog article.
How does the system determine the title for the blog post?
-The system uses the title from the RSS feed module. When a new article comes in, the new title is dynamically inserted into the blog post template.
What is the significance of using GPT 40 for the blog post creation?
-GPT 40 is used because it is the only model from Open AI that can access the web and has the latest information. It is capable of creating a completion based on the prompt and the URL provided, generating a unique SEO optimized blog post.
How does the system generate a feature image for the blog post?
-The system uses Open AI to generate a DALL-E 3 image prompt, which is then used to create the feature image for the blog post. This process is automated and integrated into the blog post creation workflow.
What is the process for posting the blog article to a WordPress blog?
-The process involves using the Make connector plugin in WordPress, which is connected to Make.com. The system posts the blog article by filling out the details such as title, content, and author, and then publishing it directly to the WordPress site.
What are the monetization strategies mentioned in the script for making money with the blog?
-The strategies include signing up for CPC or CPM ads through Google AdSense, selling monthly sponsorships, promoting affiliate products through Amazon Affiliates or ClickBank, and creating and selling your own products like ebooks or courses.

ready to make money and grow your
business even while you sleep today I'm
going to show you how you can set up
your own AI automated blogging system
what this system will do is that it will
take the latest news article in your
Niche turn it into a blog post and then
automatically posted onto your blog I
know it's absolutely incredible only a
couple years ago I had to do this whole
process manually I had to hire a writer
wait for them to finish the article and
then I can post down to my blog this
whole process used to cost me hundreds
of dollars per article and it would take
weeks to complete now ai can do it for
pennies on the dollar and the process is
almost instantaneous and I'm going to
show you how to set everything up today
the best part you can make up to $30,000
with this AI automation or
$576 per month so make sure you stick
around until the end because I'm going
to show you four strategies that you can
use to monetize your blog also if you're
new here hi my name is Helena I am an AI
optimization expert and I would really
appreciate it if you got any value out
of today's video to please like And
subscribe with that being said let's
dive in so the first thing that we're
going to do is we're going to go onto
Google news and we're going to put in
the topic that we want to write our blog
post on so if I want to start a new blog
on artificial intelligence I'm going to
put artificial intelligence here in the
search bar and then what I'm going to do
is I'm going to copy this URL right over
here here for the news articles oh and
by the way just to backtrack here I went
to news.google.com
after I got my news article here the
next thing I want to do is to create an
RSS feed and in order to create my RSS
feed I'm going to go to a website called
rssa and once you register for a free
account you'll be taken to a dashboard
that looks like this and you want to
create a new feed I'm just going to put
in the URL that we just copied from
Google news and then press generate
after a couple seconds we will have our
RSS feed okay so once our feed has been
created I'm going to press save feed and
I'm going to copy this URL right over
here the next thing that I'm going to do
is I'm going to go into make.com so
make.com is an RPA or robotic processing
automation tool that allows us to create
these automations and it is completely
no code so you can see visually which
module comes first which is a second
step which is a third step all in a
visual way so once we log in to make.com
and we start a new scenario we'll see
something like this basically this is a
blank canvas that will actually allow us
to put in all our modules so we can see
what is the first step of the automation
then what's the second step with's the
third step Etc so the first thing that
needs to happen is we get a new uh news
article that comes out through that RSS
feed so now actually this tells us the
trigger here should be RSS and when we
select RSS we want to watch for um new
RSS articles that come out so we're
going to select this and then it's going
to prompt us to enter in the RSS URL so
I'm going to put in the URL that was
just generated and because we want to
write one article at a time I'm going to
leave this at one and then I'm going to
press okay and from here we can select
what point in time do we want the
Articles to start writing if we want new
articles from now on we'll just leave it
at the default setting after we have set
up our trigger the next step is we need
a title for our article so we're going
to press the add button here I'm going
to search for open AI but just know that
you can use things like CLA you can use
perplexity any large language model will
work I'm going to select open Ai and
then I'm going to select create a
completion here and for my model I'm
going to select GPT 40 because GPT 40 is
the only model currently from open aai
that can actually access the web and has
the latest information if this is your
first time logging into open AI though
you want to press the add button here
and then you will need to get your API
key in order to get your API key you
want to go to platform.
open.com API key from here in your
account you'll be able to create a new
secret key give it a name that will
remind you where you put this key for
example if you're just putting into
make.com you can call it something like
make.com then create this key and then
you only get to view this key once so
make sure you copy it and then go back
to make paste it in right here and then
press save a question I get asked very
often as well is how much does open AI
charge for their API usage well it
totally depends on how much you use it
and at which model you're using it so
open AI is pretty transparent about
their pricing if you go to
open.com API pricing and if you scroll
down you'll be able to see how much of
these various models do cost the model
that we're going to be using today is
GPT 40 as we can see from the pricing
here is $5 for 1 million tokens of input
and $15 for 1 million tokens of output I
just want to quickly explain what a
token means here there is a complicated
math equation that converts the number
of characters or words into number of
tokens and we're not going to get into
that here a good general rule of thumb
is that generally about four to five
characters equals one token so you can
just use that rough math it won't be
exact but it'll give you a rough bul
Park of how many tokens you will need
for each article token costs have been
coming down significantly and it's only
going to get cheaper and cheaper okay
now that we have our open AI connected
now we're going to select our model here
and of course we're going to select GPT
40 and then I'm going to press on add a
message after I do so for the row I'm
going to select user and in the message
content this is where I'm going to put
in my prompt here is the prompt that I
have written you are a blog writer and
your job is to turn the following news
article into a unique SEO optimized blog
post here is the title of the article
and then what what I did here was I
basically just entered the variable
title from the RSS feed module the
reason I want to do this is because when
a new article comes in I want the new
title to be inserted so this is a
dynamic variable here and I did the same
for the URL so I told uh GPT 40 here is
the URL that you can go and read and the
parameters here I gave it was maximum 10
words one sentence flow and do not put
quotes around the title and then I just
to press okay down here at the bottom
now I actually like to rename my modules
so that I know which module does what to
rename your module just right click on
the module and then go to rename and I'm
just going to call this blog title now
the next thing we want to do is to
generate an image a feature image that
can go along on our blog I'm going to
press the add button here again I'm
going to select open Ai and I'm going to
go to create a completion again it's the
same exact process for the model I'm
going to select GPT 40 add a message
select the row as user and in the
message content I'm going to put in my
prompt I tell it to please return a
dally three image prompt to generate
this image after I've done so again I
had to give it the maximum tokens I'm
going put a th again and then press okay
I'm going to rename this and call it
image generation prompt after I have my
prompt ready for this image then the
next thing I'm going to do is actually
generate that image so I'm going to
press the add button here again select
open AI this time I'm going to scroll
down until I find generate an image
right here I'm going to select dially 3
because that's the latest model for
image generation and then I'm going to
insert in the prompt that we have just
generated so I'm going to click on the
prompt field and then I'm going to
locate the image generation prompt uh
module that we just did so this is why
renaming it will make it easier for you
to find things on later steps and then
I'm going to expand on choices I'm going
to expand on message I'm going to select
content here so what this is going to do
is that it's actually going to paste in
the The Prompt that was just generated
generated now we're ready to actually
write our blog post so it's the same
process again I'm going to press the add
button going to select open AI going to
select create a chat completion and then
for the model I'm going to do GPT 40
again the role will be user and then the
prompt is going to be as follows please
generate an article on this topic I give
it the URL so GPT 40 can take a look at
the article here is the title of the
article then I insert it in the title
that was generated from the blog title
module and following that I gave it some
additional instructions okay so I just
want to say here that you can mod please
modify the prompt as you see fit you can
add in more instructions the more
specific that you get usually the better
result that you will get here for the
maximum token here I'm going to put 496
which is the maximum number of token
that is available right now after I
finished this module I'm going to press
okay again the next step is to actually
posted onto my WordPress blog so if
you're brand new to uh WordPress and you
don't have a WordPress blog I'm going to
quickly show you how you can start with
your own WordPress blog so you will need
some sort of hosting service to host
your domain and your website the one
that I use is siteground.com after you
log in you'll be able to uh purchase a
domain here and I have already done so
to purchase a domain go to mark
Marketplace go over to domains type in
your domain here and if this domain is
available then you can select to add and
then just put in your credit card number
and you'll be able to purchase that
after you have purchased your domains
you will go over to websites and then
select the website where you want to
install your your WordPress blog then
hover over and go over to site tools
after you go over to site tools you'll
be taken to this dashboard and you want
to select WordPress from the left hand
side menu and then select install and
manage oh and by the way if you use any
other hosting provider the process is
pretty much identical just basically
where things are laid out may be
slightly different so after you have
done so select to install WordPress here
put in your domain and then put in a
username a password and a email for
signning in then press install and then
you'll be all set to go so I have
already done so and I'll show you what
it looks like what you want to do is go
down to plugins and then select add new
from here you want to uh actually search
for the make plug-in the thing is that
make hasn't changed the name of their
plug-in yet so make used to be called uh
integral mat and that's what you need to
search for in the search bar right here
to find the make connector after you
search for make the integral connector
you'll see this particular plugin
because I already have mine installed it
says active but if it's your first time
installing it make sure you press
oninstall and then press activate and
then you'll see this make tab right here
on the side so once you press here
you'll be given your API key and this is
the API key that we actually need to
copy over into make in order for make to
be able to automatically post onto your
blog so we're going to go back into make
now and we're going to add a new module
and this time we want it to post onto
our WordPress site I'm going to search
for WordPress right here click on
WordPress and because we want to create
a new post this is the action that we
wanted to take and if this is your first
time connecting to Wordpress you're
going to go up here at the top press add
and then simply put in the API key that
you just put in then put in your domain
of your WordPress site right here
followed by
wp-json Das I just need to add in this
little part to aend to the the domain
which is again wp- JS o n Das if you
don't add that it's not going to work
from here I just fill out the details
that I want to be posted onto my blog so
so for the title I'm going to click on
the title going to scroll down to you'll
find the blog title uh module that we
have just created and then I'm going to
expand on choices expand on message and
click on the content which is the output
of the blog module uh which will return
the title to me the content is all of
the content within my blog post so I'm
going to go to the blog content uh
module do the same thing extand on
choices expand on message and then
select the content for the type I'm
going to select that it's going to be a
blog post so there are a couple other
things you can configure you can add
tags you can add the author I'm going to
add myself here so after you have filled
in everything that you want in your
WordPress blog post just click okay here
at the bottom save make sure you always
save because make doesn't do that for
you automatically let's just do a test
run to see what we get and then if
everything's working let's add in our
image and we will be done okay it's been
about a minute and our article is done
so basically here is the article that
was just posted onto our WordPress blog
and if we look back at the integration
that was just set up we can actually
expand on the one little popup bubble
here we can actually read the URL that
it just um spun into a blog post here's
the original article here and this is
the article that openai has written for
us in less than a minute so this is
absolutely mind-blowing incredible so
there's actually two more things that
you can change to this automation right
here one thing that I forgot to mention
earlier is that down here in the status
you can actually choose whether you want
to publish it immediately or leave it in
draft so you can leave it in draft if
you want to review it and make any
modifications before it's published or
you can just uh put it in publish and it
will just automatically go out whenever
there is a new news article so once you
have set this up the last thing is to
actually add in our image so there is
actually two things that we need to
modify if we want to add this image in
the first thing is we actually need to
save the image and that we just
generated because the open AI server
actually just keeps that image stored
for a few minutes and then it's gone
just imagine how much storage they would
need if they they're saving all the
image generation from di 3 right we need
to actually save it in our own server
I'm going to unlink this here and then
create another module again here we're
going to select uh WordPress after we
select WordPress we're going to select
create a media item and we want to add
in the output from the valley 3 image
generation and then you can just press
okay down here we're going to uh press
connect it back into WordPress oh
another side note here when you click on
generate an image uh module that you
have here sometimes you have to toggle
on the show advanced settings and make
sure your response format is in image
file and not URL because it's not going
to work if you have the URL selected so
now that you have your image item saved
and now you can just add it where you
want it to appear on your blog post so
if I want it to be in between the title
and the content I'm just going to add it
in right here there is a little bit of
code involved to add in this image but
don't worry I'm going to give you the
code and this whole automation is going
to be in my school community and the
link to join is below as well and here
is what basically telling it the image
source is from the WordPress media item
that we just created and we want it to
be centered the width is 650 pixels and
that's pretty much it so once we do this
and we save and press okay we can run it
again and now this time we will have an
image on the top of our blog post let's
do it let's try this again okay so it's
been about a minute and our blog post is
finished this is what it looks like we
have the image here at the the top
followed by the article that was just
Spawn from a new news article and I hope
you guys are just as mindblown as I am
here even though I make these
automations but it still never fails to
amaze me how much you could do with this
technology and what kind of Competitive
Edge this can give you with your
business to know how to set up systems
like this I also have a free course by
the way on AI and automations that you
can sign up for below as well now with
that being said I know in the beginning
of today's video I promised to show you
four ways that you can actually monetize
and make money with your blog so let's
get into that now so the first way that
you can make money with your blog is to
sign up for CPC or CPM ads and you can
do so by signing up for Google AdSense
basically whenever someone views your
blog or clicks on an ad on the sidebar
of your blog Google will actually pay
you for those display ads the second way
that you can make money through your
blog is through monthly sponsorship
basically you can sell ads directly to
advertisers on your blog and let's say
we want to make $30,000 a year from our
blog that means that we need to sell
$2500 of ads every single month now this
could be a lot for one Advertiser but
what if you had six if you had six
different advertisers you only had to
charge them about
$416 per month which is a lot more
doable another way that you can make
money from your blog is to sell
affiliate products two really good sites
to find affiliate products to sell are
Amazon Affiliates or clickbank.com so on
Amazon you can actually sign up to be an
affiliate and after you sign up to the
affiliate you will have your own
affiliate link for all of the products
that you want to promote you just need
to put in that link into your blog post
and whenever someone clicks on that
Amazon link and buy the product you will
get a percentage of those sales you can
look at what products May resonate with
the audience of your Niche for example
if you're starting a blog on Personal
Finance maybe it's books like Think and
Grow Rich if you have a Blog on interior
design it could be the new trendiest
furniture that everyone wants to get
ClickBank is also a great way to look
for affiliate products ClickBank is
generally really good for digital
products like courses and if you just
don't want to create your own course
about your Niche yet it could be a good
idea to test out the waters see if other
people's courses resonate with your
audience before you create your own as
well and then the last way that you can
monetize your blog is actually to create
your own products like ebooks or courses
that you can sell directly to your
audience another way that you can
actually monetize this AI blogging
