If the marketing world had a gossip rag, the front page would write itself: "LOCAL MAN CAUGHT RUNNING SIX NEWS SITES WITH NO WRITING STAFF." And the confession underneath would be this exact post. How I feed six blogs before breakfast, every morning, without writing a single word of it myself.
Sources close to the operation (my Australian Shepherd, mostly) confirm the whole thing runs on one Sunday hour. No ghostwriters hiding in the garage. No content team chained to a Slack channel. Just a quiet little machine called RSSMasher doing something most bloggers still swear is impossible.
Here's the scandal nobody wants printed.
You don't need original content to run a news site people actually read. You need the right feeds, mashed together the right way.
Every big publication, every niche blog, every YouTube channel worth following already pumps out an RSS feed. Alone, each feed is just somebody else's newsletter. But combine six or eight of them, filter out the junk with keyword rules, swap in your own images, and inject your own links and offers into the stream? Now you've got a trending news site that exists nowhere else on the internet. Uniquely yours, built from the best of everyone else.
I spent years doing it the hard way. Sunday nights hunched over a keyboard, cranking out posts nobody asked for, watching competitors somehow publish ten times my volume. Then I stopped writing and started mashing. The relief was almost embarrassing.
Now the Sunday ritual takes an hour. Load the feeds, set the keyword filters, drop in the money hooks, and hand the schedule to the Power Scheduler.
It's the best employee I've ever had. Works around the clock, never calls in sick, never asks for a raise.
Monday through Saturday, the machines post before the coffee finishes brewing. Fresh articles hit the blogs. Social accounts fire off links automatically, building backlinks while I'm still deciding between eggs or cereal. Six sites, fed and growing, and my biggest morning decision is breakfast.
The one setting most people get wrong? They take every article a feed spits out. Don't. The keyword filters are where a generic autoblog becomes a razor-sharp niche site. Positive keywords in, negative keywords out. That's the difference between noise and a site Google actually rewards.
So yes, if the tabloids ever come sniffing around, I'll confess to everything. Six blogs. One hour a week. Zero writing. The evidence is publishing itself right now, somewhere between the alarm clock and the first cup of coffee.
