I Slopped Up the Internet: Here's How I Did It

This article details the author's attempt to create a fully automated publishing portfolio using AI and automation systems. The system, called Content Empire, was built over the past year and has resulted in the creation of 59 domains with 6,306 published articles. The system automates the process of finding niches, registering domains, creating brands, generating content, deploying static sites, configuring analytics, connecting content campaigns, auto-publishing new articles, watching search performance, and optimizing itself.

The author built Content Empire to test whether a one-person operator could build and sustain a fully autonomous publishing portfolio. The system has generated some revenue, but the author acknowledges that AI content is often of low quality and that Google has policies around scaled content that may lead to penalties. Despite the potential challenges, the author believes that AI content can be useful to humans and that the experiment demonstrates what it takes to outrun Google's automated systems and produce lasting results in the AEO game.

The article outlines the pipeline of the Content Empire system, which includes niche identification, domain creation, brand and site setup, content campaign management, revision gate, static build, Cloudflare deployment, indexing, measurement, and next action.
