How Blog Jog Day Works and How to Sign Up

Bloggers can sign up at http://blogjogday.webs.com. There is a one-time $2.00 participation fee which helps support additional advertizing for Blog Jog Day.

Then follow-up with an e-mail to blogjogday@gmail.com with your Blog address. Within a few days, you will receive a post to copy and paste as a post on your Blog. It will look similar to this:

“Thank you for stopping by my Blog! Please explore all this Blog has to offer, then jog on over to (add next Blog link here). If you would like to visit a different Blog in the jog, go to http://blogjogday.blogspot.com.”

You will be allowed to personalize your Post to suite your own Blog and personality. However, we will be providing the required link to the next Blog.

We all have Blogs, we all have friends. The more of us that do it, the better the results for all of us! What are you waiting for…get on board now!

(Reminder information will be sent periodically so we can promote as a team to the fullest)

How Participating Bloggers Can Help Get More Blogs to join Up

All participants can help promote Blog Jog day by inviting their networking friends to join in.

Things you can do to help promote Blog Jog Day:
*Post an “upcoming” announcement on your Blog inviting other Bloggers to join.
*Post a Blog about the event on your Ning membership sites.
*Post a notice on your Facebook Page and Twitter.
*E-mail all your friends and family Bloggers to let them know about Blog Jog Day.

Most of you know me or have worked with me online to promote books. I am very efficient in my promotional efforts. My Blog, "A Book Inside" reached a Page Rank 4 in just 6 months online! Together we can be even better!

When I first promoted my Ning site, I used a similar method to get initial visitors. I had over 500 hits and nearly 300 new subscribers on the first day! I accomplished that by notifying just my own social networking friends. Then, after asking my new members to notify all their social networking friends, our membership grew tenfold! Imagine what we could do as a networking team??

Finally, about one day before Blog Jog Day:
*Send a reminder note to all your friends on your social networks, e-mail, mailing lists, Facebook, Goodreads, Twitter, etc. and ask them to jog on Blog Jog Day.
*If you have an Entrecard, drop, drop, drop on May 9!
*Join in the jog on Blog Jog Day! We too can jog on that day to visit other interesting Blogs in the circle!

F.A.Q. About Blog Jog Day

Q. I have more than one Blog. Can I include all of them on Blog Jog Day?
A. Yes, it’s $2.00 per Blog, no limit!

Q. My Blog is not yet highly ranked by Google or Yahoo. Can I still participate on Blog Jog Day?
A. The best thing about Blog Jog Day is that it is beneficial to everyone, regardless of the popularity of your Blog. Everyone is encouraged to participate.

Q. My Blog already gets a lot of hits. How will Blog Jog Day benefit my Blog?
A. Blog Jog Day will bring new unique visitors to our Blogs. Unique visitors means more exposure, and for most of us, more sales!

Q. Do the Bloggers need to be similar in content?
A. No. All Blogs on any topic or subject matter are welcome and encouraged to participate. We would like Blog Jog Day to be an adventure for all visitors.

Q. I live in a different country but would like to include my Blog, can I do that?
A. Sure. Check the time converter at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ to see exactly when you need to post.

Q. Is Blog Jog Day just for “Blogger” users, or can anyone sign up?
A. As long as you can add a forwarding link at the top and center of your Site, you are welcome to join Blog Jog Day.

Q. What happens if we have a broken link or a dead end?
A. The sample post we send you will lead visitors back to the Blog Jog Day Blog, which will list (at the top) all the Blogs in the circle so they can continue on jogging. We will also pre-check for bad links.

Q. Will I be informed where my link is in the circle, and can I be linked from my friends Blog?
A. Sorry, it would be too difficult to connect specific links but if you submit your links together, they should be connected. Jog on May 9 to find your link!

Q. Why Sunday May 9? Do I have to be available?
A. Sunday was chosen because research showed it was the most active Blogging day. Although it would be best for all of us to join in the Blog, it is not necessary for you to be "available" on Blog Jog Day as long as your post is pre-set to appear on time.

Q. I don’t have a PayPal account. How else can I pay the $2.00?
A. You can snail mail your $2.00 to Plain & Simple Books, P.O. Box 1506, North Bend, Oregon 97459. Please include your e-mail address and Blog URL on your check.

Q. Who should I contact for more information?
A. E-mail your questions to blogjogday@gmail.com
