Creating A Campaign

Campaigns control what content gets posted by WP Robot. You can have as many campaigns as you want and each campaign can have an unlimited number of keywords. The keywords you enter define what topics WP Robot will search and post content for.

1. To create a campaign go to "WP Robot 4" > "Create Campaign".

2. Enter the keywords you want to post content for in the text box marked "Keywords". You can enter any number of keywords, with each of them on a new line.

3. Enter the WordPress categories you want posts WP Robot creates to be categorized into in the "Categories" field. You can:

• Enter a single category name. Then all posts for all keywords go into this category.
• Enter one category per line like in the "Keywords" box. Then each post for a keyword goes into the category on the same line.

4. Set the post interval in the "Post Every" field. It decides how often WP Robot automatically creates a post.

5. Set up your Templates. A template decides how your final posts will look and what kind of content they will contain.

To add a new template:

• Press the drop down box that says "Random".
• Choose the module that you want to use in this campaign. Only modules you have configured on the Options page show here.
• Press the "Add Post Template" button to add the template.

You can repeat those steps and add any number of templates to your campaign. For each post one will be randomly selected.

Tip: You can use the "Quick Template Setup" button to add all your templates at once.

6. Press the "Create Campaign" button to finish and create your campaign.
