Get Same Offers as the Bentleyville Sponsors

Many readers of this Master Blog Class own businesses or organizations that they blog about. In this post, I'm going to first rave about a wonderful event in Duluth Minnesota and the sponsors who make it possible, and offer readers of this blog the same great marketing offers I offer to the sponsors. It's another way for me to get the word out about this great event. Here goes!

Bentleyville is now open and it's better than ever!

I don't know about you but as a kid, everything seemed bigger, and the lights seemed "brighter" at Christmas. This is a spectacular sight for young and old and I especially enjoy reliving the joy of the holiday through the eyes of my grandkids as they walk (or are held) and look in amazement at all the festive lights!

It is "free" for the public to attend and people come from all over the world to see the tallest Christmas tree and all. But of course we know that nothing is "free" and there is a hidden cost not seen by the attendees. I want to express my thanks to all who make this possible and to do so in a tangible way.

Here are my 3 offers...
The Duluth News Tribune has a full page "Thank You" to the sponsors and lists them. To all businesses listed below, I offer the following promotions:


  • Get last column pricing with the NEWTON MANUFACTURING Virtual Catalog, and save hundreds off your imprinted promotional items until November 30, 2012 at: www.myimprintrep.com/catalog123. (Expires 11.30/12).
So enjoy all that Bentleyville offers, and thank all the sponsors listed below (and sponsors, take advantage of the above offers). Also, don't forget to help out by bringing a non-perishable food item or new unwrapped toy for the Salvation army Food & Toy Drive!
Make it a great day!

Here comes a new blog: T Man Guitar

I just deleted an old blog and created a new blog (blogger only allows 100 blogs).

The new blog is T Man Guitar. (You can view it at: http://tmanguitar.blogspot.com/).

I've played guitar since I was 15 and somehow "work" gets in the way. Finally I'm making playing (and teaching) "work" so it gets a little priority. By giving lessons I will be "forced" to give more time to my guitar and writing talents and not "die with my music in me" as was stated by Wayne Dyer in his Seven Secrets to a Joyful Life.

The site will be used in conjunction with the lessons that I will present in a few homes of those who qualify for my time and are fortunate to live close by. But most importantly viewers of this blog will benefit from the "fresh" teachings and up to date "inspiration" that will come from these in home teaching sessions.

The reason I'm here sharing this with my Master Blogging students is that this blog has a few design elements that most of my other blogs do not. Here it is "fun" and I really don't care if readers come and go. So, I placed videos and news reels here to add interest. I've added much more Ad Sense ads here, and will add affiliate ads via Clickbank, Commission Junction, and Amazon soon (if not already by the time you read this).

Make it a great day!

Terrific. Energizing, Results!

PS. If you want to know how to add elements like ClickBank ads, and those from Commission Junction, and Amazon, search this blog or consider becoming a Master Blogger by attending the online class; it's only $29 for a limited time: www.terscott.com/blogability.

Manage Multiple Blogs


How to Manage Multiple Blogs

People seem impressed when I tell them that I have 100 Blogs. First they ask me why, and I tell them it’s so I can teach others, and so I can earn income. Usually they ask how I can manage them all. My answer to that seems to be “ongoing” because managing 100 blogs is “ongoing”.

I’ve shared some ways that I do this in other blog entries. As I’m working on updating a few blogs right now, I thought I would share what I’m doing while it’s “fresh” in my mind.

I haven’t updated all of my blogs to the “new look” of blogger, which is fine because everything simply transfers “as is” and most of the new blogger stuff is in the “back area”, but there are new templates and designs that I will eventually play with. For now, I just want to be sure that I add at least one post to each blog on a frequent basis. In an earlier post, I explained that each post doesn’t need to be a “novel” that requires a huge amount of time on your part, but the content must be interesting and valuable. Today I will share what I do to “rotate” my blogs to keep them “fresh”.

As a high school kid, I worked at A&W. One of my tasks was to go in the walk-in freezer and “rotate” the meat stock. The older food was placed up front to be used first. Basically that’s what I’m doing with my blogs.

When you open the design area you’ll see the back area for that blog; where you can change things up. In the upper left side you see “My Blogs”. When I click on “My Blogs” a page opens labeled “Ter Scott’s Blogs” and shows five titles. Scrolling down the page, you’ll see where it states: “View More”; click on it. Now you’ll see all of your blogs listed. (Blogger only lets you have 100 blogs). This is what’s important: the blogs you’ve worked on recently are on the top of the list, and the blogs that you’ve worked on lastly are at the bottom. If you don’t add posts to your blogs on a regular basis, they become what are referred to as “Ghost Blogs”. People find your blog, but you (the blogger) are not home! I have seen blogs with only one post, way back in 2003 or something. Hmmmm.

On a regular basis, I add a comment to one or two of the blog at the top of the list because these are the “most important” usually because they are attached to one of my websites, or used in conjunction to one of my seminars and classes. But here is the way I keep blogs “rotated”. I work on one or two at the top of the list, but then I scroll down to the bottom and add a post to the blog at the bottom. I may spend more time in the blog modifying the template, the gadgets, etc. etc. But minimally, I add one post. The next time I open blogger, that blog is now at the top, and I repeat the process.

I hope this helps you. You may not have 100 posts yet, but you may have several. This is a way to keep things rotated and fresh for your readers.

Make it a great day!

Ter

Hope this idea works for you.  

Adding PayPal Buttons to Blogs Bring in the Money


You need to pat yourself on the back if you are coming here regularly (make it easy by following my email on the right; we won’t “spam”) because this is the first place I post my blogging activities. 

Everything I do via blogging is a learning experience that I can pass on to my students. You may know that I have at least 100 blogs with Blogger alone, so when I do something I usually multiply it my 100. 
Today I made changes to all 100 sites by adding a PAYPAL DONATE button on each.

In my MASTER BLOG CLASS (available via the Internet and select cities via Community Education Classes) my students constantly ask: “show me the money” and rightly so because the title of the class is: Create a Blogin 5 Minutes and Make Money Forever. Adding a donation button is one such way.

Have you been to one of my Blog Classes or are you an Online Blog Class Student? If so, email me at the email I gave you using DONATE BUTTON QUES in the subject line (yes, use all CAPS) and I will reply with the steps on how to do this!

Not all of my blogs are appropriate for “donating” to support the blog, so in that case I state that either all or part of the donations will go to a charity. So you see here that it requires time on the blogger’s part to create and present good content which should be worth paying for; this is one way to earn income for your time in front of your computer. Secondly, you can be seen as a person interested in helping worthwhile causes.

Here are a few blog addresses to show you the different options I chose to give part or all monies to a charity or keep the money for supporting the blog:

Here I offer counseling at no cost via this blog so a donation is appropriate. http://secretrulesforattainment.blogspot.com/

Here I donate 100% to Animal Allies:

At this site I let people know that the site requires support to stay on the Internet:

And with this site I do not use any description or title:

All of the above sites offer a wealth of information to the serious (and profitable) blogger and are a great source to learn from. (Here is a “live” list of clickable links to some of my blogs so you can visit them and hopefully benefit from seeing how I present things. Also don’t forget to spend time weekly visiting Blogger’s BLOGS OF NOTE): http://blogslistblog.blogspot.com/.

Of course it has taken me several hours to copy and paste the PayPal code onto each of my blog dashboard page, but it should be worth it and I only have to do this one time. On some I just pasted the code for the Donate button and with others I included a title which explains the donate button and/or used “key word phrases” to help the search engines find it; I can always go back and edit at any time.

I’m a bit exhausted now having sat here for a couple of hours. This has been “work” but I've planted the seeds and the income will grow with or without me; automatically. Now for some relaxation.

See you next time!

Terrific. Energizing. Results!

PS. You can now get private coaching via phone. Email me at the address you get when you take my class/course using BLOG COACHING in the subject line. Details will be at: www.terscott.com/blogcoaching very soon!

PSS. Here is one of my old blogs: http://blogmasterclass.blogspot.com/. You might want to look at it now before I update it. I think it will give you hope in that you can do this; and also that Blogger itself is always changing (hopefully for the better!). 

Blogging Riches

Again I want all readers to know that blogs can help blogs.

I've recently "resurrected" an old "ghost blog" that I had not updated for sometime. Here is the address. I'd appreciate by blogging students (and anyone else out there) to leave a comment after the most recent post and tell me your thoughts:

Learn from Blogs of Note


I will soon be creating an “idea sheet” to help you create ideas and blog topics to both get you started and also to keep you going with a single or many blogs. For now, you may go to my webpage which shows my blogs, many which are clickable which takes you directly to my blog or you can copy and paste into a new address bar and get there that way. Just by looking at the titles you can get some ideas for topics and when you visit each, you’ll get ideas for layout ideas.

Also note that now when you log in to Blogger.com, you’ll see “Blogs of Note”. Any serious blogger would make it a point to visit at least one Blog of Note weekly and learn from the best!
Wow, I clicked on “Blogs of Note” and found some great pics of blogs, click on this one: 
http://www.emyselfandi.com/ and not surprisingly I found it very interesting!

Here are my comments:
Hello all! I teach a Master Blog Class and promote "Blogs of Note" to students. This blog was one that I found interesting, clicked on the link and got here and found it very interesting; filled with useful information! It's well designed too. 

One of my daughters has just had her first son born a few weeks ago (has too daughters prior) and my other daughter has a 7 month old daughter so I will be sure to let them know about your wonderful blog!

Ter Scott!

Past Students get the New Revised Blogger System Manual at no Cost

You may recall that the Master Blog Class is entirely new! If you have attended any previous blog classes, use the email instructions you've received in your class and contact me by email. I will then send you the new manual via a pdf format... at no cost!

In the new class, with the new Blogger "look" and all, I created a new blog to use as an example. It's about the life adventures of my cat, Prosper. She's a bit confused about what her real name is as you can read here:
 http://tortoiseshelltortitude.blogspot.com/.

If you've not signed on as a follower by email, you should! Don't miss anything!

Make it a great day!

One Blog helps Another



Blogs can help each other. I'll explain and demo here.

 

Last night I presented another success "in-class" How to Blog seminar.

 

I was reminded while teaching that blog posts don't have to take time and be "long winded". I explain further at my other blog (which is about Blogging as Therapy):

 


There, I just did! You are at this blog and I’ve asked you to take a quick look at my other blog. Blogs can help each other! Think of ways how you can do the same with your blogs.
