Platform setup (one-time)
The once-per-machine NEO configuration. Do these before anything else.
On this page
Do these once. Save every credential OUTSIDE the NEO install — NEO has no settings export and Clint lost a setup migrating machines.
1. Cloud API providers (12 services, ~1 day)
What: Connect NEO to every cloud storage provider so one "cloud blog" in NEO deploys to 12 sites at once.
Why: The single highest-leverage setup task — 12× output per click forever. Skipping it is why most users think NEO is slow.
How: 1. NEO → Settings → Cloud API Settings. 2. For each provider, fetch API key + secret (Elias has per-provider setup videos). 3. Skip Wasabi. Skip Oracle. They don't work for Clint and aren't worth troubleshooting. 4. Fill out the rest. 5. Save every credential in a password manager outside NEO.
Math: 25 cloud blogs × 12 services = ~300 sites per client folder. 155 max-tier × 12 = ~1,860 (request an Amazon bucket-cap increase if you go big).
2. Spin Rewriter
What: How aggressively NEO swaps synonyms when spinning.
Why: Default turns one article into 1,000 garbage variants. HIGH produces ~50 unique high-quality variants — the line between "a human wrote this" and "obviously spun."
How: NEO → Generate → OpenAI / Default Prompt → Spin Rewriter. Set synonyms → HIGH, both related-words dropdowns → HIGH. Save.
Critical: articles made with default settings cannot be retroactively spun. Set this BEFORE making content.
3. Default bio template
What: Author bio on every cloud blog.
How: Cloud blog → Default Bio → Edit My Bio → copy the SpinTax template → paste into ChatGPT: "I'm writing blog posts for [niche]. Rewrite this bio for that niche; keep the SpinTax syntax intact." Drop it back in. Save a copy externally.
4. Default blog details (names + subdomains)
What: The pool of blog names + subdomain strings NEO uses.
Why: Greg Morrison's Reverse Sink-or-Swim — keyword in the page title AND the URL. The blog-name field bleeds the keyword into the subdomain.
How: Blog Details → grab the name + subdomain templates → ChatGPT: "Using the same SpinTax structure, give me 50 unique blog names and 50 matching subdomains." Drop the packs back in.
5. NAP block
What: Name/address/phone on every cloud blog contact page.
How: Format with HTML paragraph tags + <br> breaks (plain text renders as a blob across the 12 providers). Preview to confirm separated lines. Untested but worth trying: drop JSON-LD schema in too — the field accepts HTML.
6. Blog comments pool
What: Spun comments GBP Blast cycles through.
How: Generate ~100 comments via NEO's generator (spinning is HIGH from step 2). Save. Enough variety to run for months without repetition flags.
