automation will fuck you up, run your shit dry and make your advertising stale.
I have been doing them by hand now for a few months and it's paying off for us. If I automated everything we would be using the same advertising on every instance of a template and that's not good.
Here's the trick. Once you have 12-15 sites just start reusing layouts and ad text. Mix em up and just write a new "story" for each site as well as color/font combinations. If I find myself in a major rush to get one up I can do one in 30 mins with mirroring and custom thumb cropping and storyline text on each page.
People always try to automate things and it just creates subpar results. I have tried training people to build freesites before and all they did was say "I can get my coder to do this and that and make a lot of money" then 2 weeks later say "freesites suck" and go do something else. Of the people who still build by hand, all are still building. What does that tell you?
