I have been writing roundups for a while. I was never thrilled with the available tools and had my own system, but it took a lot of time. Surprisingly, Roundups actually generates a useful draft that sounds human and has what you need for one of these posts. It's very simple to use. You tell it what products or topics you want for your roundup. It generates titles for the post and you pick one or add your own. Then it shows you products, and you choose the ones you want. It writes a draft you can send to Wordpress as a draft, and then edit if you want to before publishing. The draft sounds reasonably human and I did very little editing for the one I posted on my site.

There is one big problem for Amazon affiliates: it generates a draft that's sent to your Wordpress. Unlike Lasso, it can't connect to your blog later on to update the pricing. One of the top reasons Amazon terminates affiliates is because they have outdated pricing on their sites. To use this for Amazon, I would either edit out the pricing completely (it can encourage more click throughs) or paste it into something like Lasso if you want pricing.

Another improvement I'd like to see: space for multiple Amazon store IDs. As it is, I have to do a find + replace to insert the right store ID for my other websites. Not a huge time suck, given how much time the plugin saves me already, but obviously it would be nice to be able to choose the store ID per roundup as they're generated.
