Training! ~Build A BLOGGER Blog!~

OK!  Here we are again!

Lets get right to work.  We are going to build a Google Blogspot Blog.  (Remember To Read All The Way Through Before Starting This Project!)

So Out the gate go to: https://www.google.com/accounts 

And if you do not have Gmail account, go ahead & sign up for one, as Google HiJacked a couple of my Blogs that were not gmail accounts and assigned them to my gmail accounts. We will start this way and later will not have to figure out what happen.

Either sign in if you have a Gmail account and if not click on: Create an account now then fill out the form:
Your current email address:   e.g. myname@example.com. This will be used to sign-in to your account. You have to have an existing E-Mail address of some kind.

Choose a password: Minimum of 8 characters in length.

Re-enter password:  (Do It Again!)

Word Verification:  (Type the characters you see in the picture below. Not Case Sensitive.)

Read Terms of Service:
(By clicking on ‘I accept’ below you are agreeing to the Terms of Service above.)

Click on: ‘I accept. Create my account’   Walla! Your in!

Now go to: https://www.blogger.com/   which will take you to: https://www.blogger.com/start

You will see a Big Number 1 in a circle and = 1 Sign up for Blogger
Put in your E-mail Address:  e.g. myname@example.com
Now choose a ‘Display Name:  I chose = “My First Blog”

Read the TOS (Terms Of Service) then check the ‘Acceptance of Terms’ Box. Now click on: ‘Continue’ (Arrow)

Now you are on Page 2, as you can tell, as you will see: You will see a Big Number 2 in a circle and = 2 Name your blog. 

Put in your Blog Title in Box, (Your blog’s title will appear on your published blog, on your dashboard and in your profile.)  I put in “My First Blog”,

Blog address (URL) I tried  ‘http:// “My First Blog”.blogspot.com’.
which it rejected and with a little work, it gave me “1st-time-blog-lesson” which will wind up as, ‘http://1st-time-blog-lesson.blogspot.com’ my new Blogger URL.

I Know I know, What is an URL?  It is not important now, but since you asked it is an Abbreviation of “Uniform Resource Locator”, the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

Skip the Rest as you can come back to it later.  Now click on: ‘Continue’ (Arrow)

Now you are on the 3rd step! Which is a Page 2 too! 

2 ‘Choose a template’.  You have 12 to choose from and you can always change it later when you find one “You Really Want”!  Lets go with San Dollar, so click the little radio button and again … click on: ‘Continue’ (Arrow)

[From Here:]
Walla! Your blog has been created! click on: ‘Start Blogging’ (Arrow) and we are at your dashboard for your blog. We wound up under the ‘Posting’ tab on the ‘Create’ tab which is where we will write our 1st post on our ‘Brand New Blog’!
Guess what you put in the ‘Title Box’?    Yep! This is my 1st Blog Post!  (Or what ever you want.)

Here you have the choice of 8 different fonts. 5 Text sizes. (TT),  Bold/Strong,  Italicize/ Emphasis, Text Color, Link, Text Alignment; Left, Center, Right & Justify. Numbered List, Bullet List, Block Quote, Spell Check, Add Image, Add Video,  And Last but not least; ‘Remove Formatting From Selection.

Most of these are on your word processor, Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org’s Writer, (Which is free! My favorite Price!)

So lets just some of these options and “CREATE”!  I will copy the paragraphs above and I will paste in it in the body of my 1st Blog Post. (CLICK HERE To See It!)

OH! Please Note!  In order to Paste anything, you need to be in the ‘edit html’ tab, Then switch back to the ‘Compose’ tab to continue.

[To Here:]

Now I will high light all of that Text, (Click&Drag at the left top down to the bottom right, then release.) Now I click on the Bold button and while the text is still highlighted I click on ‘Text Color’ and chose a green.

Click on the ‘Preview’  to look at it and then back and forth till you get it like you want it.

Lets make a ‘Hot Link’.  Highlight Openoffice and click on the ‘Link’ Icon, so the box opens up. Now put in ‘http://www.openoffice.org/’ in the box. Make sure the ‘http://’ is only there once.

Down at the bottom I will put this URL:  http://www.dpgatten.com  and will highlight it and paste the URL of this post in the box. 

Lets finish this post and I will show you how to do that.

Lets put an image/picture in it for that special touch. Pick a small one to start with. Click on ‘Add Image’ and when box opens up, click on ‘Browse’ button and find an image or Picture, (on your computer.). It will take a few seconds for it to set up and then check ‘right layout’ and ‘small image size’ then upload!
Your image has been added. Now click on ‘Done’. WALLA! The Wife of my Youth and a strange man!

Put in some Labels/Tags; e.g. blog, free, post, options.

Click on ‘View Post’ and there you have it!

To get the URL of the specific post, Right Click on the ‘Title’ and then on ‘Copy Link Location’ now you can paste it in the link box.

OK - Next time we will dress our Blog up a little. Do not be afraid to play with it as you can delete it and start over again.

Be Blessed, DP

Training Break!

WOW! It is good to see you again!

We are going to take a break in the ‘Step By Step’ and ‘Hands On Training’ and look at some other things that are important that do go ‘Hand In Hand’ with the ‘Training’.

There are several Reasons to Build Blogs and there are different Blogs that you will build to Blossom your Business. While we are in the middle of Blog Building, let us look at some of the Reasons and Kinds.

REASONS:

a.    To actually sell products;  As we continue with the training, we will learn how to develop and then market our own products. Also see how we can make money selling other people’s products. i.e. Affiliate Marketing.

b.    To introduce & then send 2 sales page; Some times called a ‘Squeeze Page’ we will learn how to write Sales Copy and then get a potential customer to opt in and buy or at least get their Name sand E-Mail Address.

c.    Overall 2 build a presence of your personal name &/or Company on the Web;  If you want to know if you or your company have a presence  on the Internet go to: http://www.google.com/  and do a search for you name.  Now do it with a well known person, (Like me, … just kidding) and see the difference.

Now lets see some Different Kinds of Blogs:

a.      Dynamic updated;  A normal Blog is like a journal or info site that is updated regularly.  e.g. once, twice, thrice or more each week. e.g. http://www.wonpreacher.com/

b.    Static with info gathering;  usually a sited where one can collect names and E-Dresses in exchange for something that most of the time is free.  e.g. http://www.workfromhome.dpgatten.com/  with a form to fill out.  And http://www.thankyou.dpgatten.com/ Probably never is changed.

c.    Personal (Journal, Thoughts, perspectives, etc.);    many different kinds of these Blogs. Here are a couple examples; e.g. http://moneyfavorsspeed.blogspot.com/  (active)  and  http://whatdoicare-bil.blogspot.com/  (A long ways behind)

Ok Get ready, … we are going to build a Blogspot Blog next.  Hurry back Yah heh!

Where Is Your Blog?

Some of you have not started with a Blog yet. What is a Blog? Probably in short, a Blog is a Web Journal or weB LOG. Many out there, so lets get started with a Couple That Are FREE! AGAIN Read Through before you start.

Today we will look at WordPress, so lets go to: www.wordpress.com/
WordPress Brings up a page with this: “Express yourself. Start a blog.” So we click on: “Sign Up Now!”

Now fill out this one-step form, starting with user name: You may as well fill out the whole form and then may have to change some things because they have already been taken &/or used.

e.g. I had to change the E-Mail address 3 times to find one that was not already being used for a WordPress Blog. You can have as many Blogs as you need with the same E-Dress though for this exercise I wanted o start from scratch, as to document this lesson for you who are brand new.

You may have to try a couple times to get a User Name that is not already gone too.

Choose a password and WordPress will help and suggest, so you are using a secure password. Then Confirm it.

I keep a NotePad .txt File for my Sites, Forums, etc to keep track of Users names & PassWords. Or you can Use ‘MS Word’ and keep them in a .doc file

Enter an active e-mail address, click the ‘Legal flotsam’ that you have read ‘The Fine Print’ make sure default, ”Gimme a blog’ button is active and click on next! Leave the Defaults unless you would like to change or ‘Dress Up’ the ‘Blog Title’. Make sure the Privacy is clicked, so the Search Engines can find you. Click on ‘Sign Up’. You now have a page that tells you, “Check Your Email to Complete Registration”

Now go to your e-mail account and click on the link to activate your Blog! Walla! Now back to your Blog Page and you may have to log back in. … Now where did you put that ‘User Name and Password’?

Click on ‘Dashboard’ at top of page and now you are ready to “Blog Away”! OK! Now go back and do it for real! When you get it going, go ahead and play with it and in another lesson we will change a few things so it will be personal for you.

Glad you stuck around! Be Blessed till next time, DP

What Is A “Guerrilla Information Marketing - Certified Trainer”?

Hey Gang!

It is time to update this Web Site and there may be some Questions that need answered. It all starts with Guerrilla Marketing that “Jay Conrad Levinson” made so famous with ‘The Marlboro Man’, ‘Jolly Green Giant’, ‘Pillsbury’s Poppin Fresh’ and many others!

Jay has personally mentored many Marketing Gurus over the years and he has joined with two of them: Mr. Paulie Sabol and Dr. Ben Mack to Produce “The Guerrilla Balance Sheet”. (TGBS) This is a 61 page E-Book of Jay’s Comprehensive, In-Depth and Unabridged Guerrilla Marketing Plan, which is broken down to Three Main Items:
• How To Turn Your Marketing Into A Profit Center.
• Have An Unlimited Marketing Budget.
• Moreover, Never Run Out Of Money Again!

For a limited time TGBS will be available through this Web Site for $10.00. Click Here.

TGBS was what turned me around in my perspective on Internet Marketing. After reading TGBS I had an insatiable hunger, thirst and desire to learn more! The FeBeNe training opportunity was soon to follow and the investment only slowed me down a moment for evaluation before I opted in! YES it was substantially more than I ever invested for any offer in he past, But the value received has already been ten times more than I paid and more coming all the time!

Are You Looking For A “Guerrilla Information Marketing - certified trainer”?

I Will Soon Be One! Explained below!

Hi Gang, Welcome back!

This Place Started out as a place to find out about business, Internet Business specifically. Regardless of the intended direction, there is always new information that will change direction in order to stay up to speed with what is needed to increase cash flow. Another interesting thing to me is how writing for this slot continues, the writing itself changes also. So what does all of this mean?

I am glad you have asked! “My whole perspective has changed”, as I am not only learning to make money, I am also developing my writing at the same time. So here is the bottom line for this short season of learning.

Should you drift back to the beginning where I started with the emphasis being on ‘Free’, you will see my point of view now includes the need to pay for value to continue in a productive direction. I started with The Guerrilla Balance Sheet now only $10 dollars. There is so much information in TGBS that it was a no brainer to continue from the ‘FeBeNe’ and upgrade to the “Platinum FeBeNe’ and I am so glad that I did. For The First Time, I have finally made a substanial investment and have received several times back in awesome Mentoring, Valuable Tools and Bonuses beyond imagination! With more benefits that are still on the way!

The personal mentoring from Dr. Ben Mack and Mr. Paulie Sabol is beyond description. Starting with “Bonus Fast Start Training:
Where You Are & Where You’re Going–FAST! With a link to land on the page with the video replay, audio replay, transcript, and other support tools.”

There will be six Webinars (Some over three hours.) presented, and with the links to the video replay, audio replay, transcript, and other support tools for Permanent downloads to your computer and four Q&A sessions one was over 5 and a half hours of explicit answers and directions for those on the call.
This program filled up and closed in record time and stay connected here for announcement of another to start soon.

Six Webinars and Four Q&A Sessions to round out an un-believable mentoring program of Guerrilla Marketing that “Jay Conrad Levinson” made so famous with ‘The Marlboro Man’, ‘Jolly Green Giant’, ‘Pillsbury’s Poppin Fresh’ and many others!

OH YEA! There were THREE different money back guarantees that will blow you away!

Get the TGBS & you will see and understand that The “FeBeNe” Business plan is the way to go!

OH! What does FeBeNe stand for? Post me and I will explain it to you, though it will just be an added step before you will be generating additional streams of Revenue! dp@dpgatten.com or start right now by clicking here! Looking forward to be learning and working with you!!!
