Automate Your Business

Archive for the ‘Traffic Automation’ Category

I’ve just released another WordPress plugin, useful if you’re using or thinking about using the Auto Social Poster plugin to automatically submit your WordPress posts to the social bookmarking sites (such as deli.icio.us, spurl, furl, simpy etc).

What my plugin does is allow you to set up multiple WordPress installs with Auto Social Poster, and have WordPress automatically fetch your accounts from a CENTRAL URL just before it hands over to Auto Social Poster to submit to the bookmarking sites.

Requirements:
This plugin obviously only works if you have already purchased, installed, and activated Auto Social Poster.

Download:
To get this additional plugin free, see here.

Installation:
Installation of this plugin assumes that you have got Auto Social Poster up and running correctly. If you haven’t please do that first.

Once you’ve downloaded the ASP Shared Logins plugin:

1. Unzip the ZIP file that you’ve downloaded, to somewhere on your desktop.
2. Decide the URL where you want to hold your central list of accounts. Make this somewhere hidden away on your website. Do not make it password-protected.
3. Edit the file wp-ayb-aspsharedlogins-url.txt to contain only that URL (you’ll see a demo URL there already – just over-write the demo)
4. Save that file, and transfer both files to your WordPress plugins directory, in your blog which holds your main social bookmarking accounts data. The files do not need to be in a specific subfolder.
5. Log into your WordPress admin and activate it in your Plugins admin screen
6. Go to Options -> ASP Shared Logins
7. Select ‘Export’
8. Copy the data that is then shown, into a text file, and FTP that file to the URL you defined earlier. This file then becomes your master copy of the account data.
9. For all your other WordPress blogs that are running Auto Social Poster, simply copy the two ASP Shared Logins files to each plugins directory. That’s it. No more configuration to do.

Usage:
Any time you add a new account to the Auto Social Poster settings, go to the ASP Shared Logins plugin, export the new account data, and copy that data into your central text file via FTP or some web-based file management application.

That’s it.

If you want to change the URL where the account data is stored, you’ll need to log into each seperate copy of WordPress and update the URL manually, in the Options->ASP Shared Logins page.

History:
June 11 2007. Version 1.1 – First public release.

I’ve just launched a new directory site, focusing on the “$7 report” concept – this is where you can create a short report, sell it for a suggested $7 (although any price could be used), allow your customers to resell it VERY easily (no complications caused by them having to set up a website etc), and they get 100% of the income. In return, you build a list of paying customers.

You can get the initial $7 report here, if you are interested.

Anyway, I mentioned the URL ONCE, in a post on the Warrior Forum.

Googlebot has been around to 14 pages already.

Impressive.
