New blog manager - what do you think??
 

Hi,

Im building something like "Blog Manager" - in few words.. One Control Panel can manage tons of blogs, its like AutoBlog 2.0..

Im interested, do you have any ideas to make blog manager better? Like new features, new ideas.. what do you think about tool like this? Is it worth to implement new features?

Current features:

- Pages / Blogs
-- List of all your blogs
--- add blog: you need type some details about your blog like username and password to access via xml rpc
--- deleting blog in system
--- editing: when you wanna change login, pass, or name or sth..
--- view:
---- choose feeds to your blog
---- manage your categories (edit/add/del)
---- manage your links (edit/add/del)
---- posts (all posts from your feeds assigned to blog)
---- google analytics (traffic details for today, yesterday, week, month; splitted on: new visits, back users, views, time on page, uniques, all visits)

-- Viewing post
--- view post before adding to blog
--- changing title
--- change category
--- change content
--- live preview

- RSS / Feeds
-- list of all your sponsor feeds (including plugins)
-- list of all posts from the feed
-- rss/feeds are checking by cron every 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes.. you choose it
-- sending mail new appear on feed
-- one feed can be used on n blogs

- Plugins
-- plugin is a small script dedicated to the site, plugin is scanning the site and downloading all infos about scenes like: title, description, thumbs, trailers etc..
-- plugin adding all datas from site to database based on variables, it can be useful to build specify post to specify blog (ex. first blog need posts from X site with only description; second blog need posts from X site with only trailer and thumbs) - its simply amazing!!
-- one plugin can have n unique templates built on variables
-- every plugin has rss
-- you can add custom_fields with specify variables (!)

- Links (my own XML RPC plugin)
-- getting all links from blogroll (sync)
-- editing, adding, deleting link
-- future:
--- checking links on blog (also a-b-c), if your trading partner will delete link, then system will turn off trading partner link.. no more shit trades
--- automatic linking new blogs

- Categories
-- getting all categories from blog (sync)
-- adding new category
-- editing and deleting..


I started this project only for WordPress but it also will work on all blog systems with xml rpc (like wordpress.com, blogspot.com etc)

im coding it for my own use.. but it would be nice if i will earn some extra money on it.. so im interesting, is it worth anything for you, and how much you can pay for access

Im thinking about two types of charges, please also reply which type of access is interesting for you:
- pay per blog - ex: based account x$ and y$ per blog.. if you will add 5 blog then $x + 5 * $y / month, i think this is fair calculation
- pay per account - unlimited blogs, unlimited feeds..

Charging? Ofcourse PayPal, Epass and MoneyBookers

Are you going to run this as software-as-a-service or a standalone install? Sounds promising :D

in first public release i think it will be "software as a service"..
maybe in future it will be standalone :)

I'd surely take a look at it.

I'd like to see it also i think.

Here's what I think
The first thing you need to do is go to cheapest Adult scripts, test drive the trial versions of BO and BA, then spend some time in his support forum.
After all of that ask yourself the following questions
can I code a better script?
can I beat his price?
can I do a better customer support job than Kaktus?
would I make enough profit to make it worth my time?
I applaud your enthusiasm and envy your ability to code but think your wasting your time and ability.
If I had your abilities I would code a free webmaster membership web site that takes all the sponsor FLV's and spits them out as catagory and/or keyword RSS Feeds with the members affiliate codes inserted.
Webmasters signing up under you to affiliate programs is how you would monetize the web site.
I would use the hell out of a website like that adding tube clips via RSS feeds to all my blogs would rock, I'd turn them all into blubes

blubes ftw!!! |lol|

Or you could use the Nubiles tube script, add the FLV's into it and use the category feeds it spits out to feed your blogs.

Only problem with that is the same problem you had in the early days of RSS feeds. The descriptions suck

for sure i will check..
but we need remember competition in adult biz is good for *US* as webmasters..

i started project for my own, but i decided to post results of my work here to make sure, project can be use by someone else, and can help save time on blogging..

codding is pleasure, sharing is counting to karma..

i think, i have abilities and ideas to build it, maybe not better but for sure it can be good alternative..

if bear is cheaper than other scripts.. answer is yes.. i told, i started build it for my own..

cant answer right now.. cus project is not finished yet, and not went public..

for example..
i spent every day for blogging - 4h.. updating feeds, links exchange etc.. and if i will do same job in 1h with script, then i save 3h.. simple math :) so saved 3h, i can spend on codding to make script better and in the end result it will help me save more time or handle more blogs
more blogs = more money = more traffic..

everything is worth of time when is hope for better future..

money from selling script?
for beer and pizza.. and keeping on mind someone is using my tool and someone is saving time and someone is happy by using it..

dont be envy.. just buy books and start code

i thought few days ago about something like that...

true, true, this is one of the idea to monetize time spent on project..

mhmm.. you know what?:)
i have feature like you are saying..

example, site: brazzersnetwork.com or mofos.com
my script is scanning those sites, getting flv's.. and you can build own post based on your template... and then, send them to all your blogs by one click.. easy like fucking;)

ok you can say.. building dedicated script for mofos.com or brazzersnetwork.com need time, true.. max. 1h, but if 5 ppl will use it and drop me for beer, i can earn some extra money... also i can use it on my own blogs!!

I've had the Nubiles script running on a site since September of last year, didn't know the newer versions had Feeds. |huh
Updating the script went smooth, ran a feed through Ba no problem |thumb
Manually adding the FLV's for hundreds of blogs would be cut and paste hell.
I bought a copy of tubetheme a couple weeks ago, like the layout but to many steps to add a FLV |huh

blubes is a good one :)

I come up with good idea's once in awhile.

That's the biggest problem with the "WP" tubes is there really is no simple method of importing.

Yes you do|thumb
that's what I tried to tell Van-Wingnut |loony|

okey..

i have good news for someone in this thread, who is "envy" ;)
i just made import from CSV dump and mass export to wordpress..
export to wp is scalable, so it will work with most of wordpress tube plugins without any problems :)


also i wanna say a word about keeping passwords in my script db..
i know, someone can worry about passwords and logins to blogs in this case i found the way how to solve this problem.. i think the solution will be acceptable by most webmasters..

soon some more news and first screenshots..

bump, bump, bump..


first alpha version has been released.. hit me on pm, i will send invite with details...
