Well over a year ago, John Saddington launched a new endeavor on Tentblogger.com (learn more).
Tentblogger.com is the resource for new and experienced bloggers, as John shares tips, tricks and common sense. Whether you’re blogging for fun or profit, you’ll find Tentblogger.com to be very helpful.
When I first started following Tentblogger.com, the amount of information was almost overwhelming (and still is sometimes!), and I thought, “I wish this was in an ebook format so I could reference back to it easier!”
Well, now I can!

Id love to be able to easily reference some of John’s work in this format. Not only for mg own sake but also for when others ask me what they should do with their blogs.
I just had the idea last night to of a blog to start related to my field of expertise, Police Technology. I could greatly benefit from the book to make sure I start on the right foot.
Starting a blog could be a real game changer for both my personal ministry and the outreach of my church. Unfortunately I’m having trouble getting my mind around all the facets of start-up and , well, pulling the trigger. This looks like just the resource for me!
WINNER!
I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for our church, but I’ve been hesitant to just jump right in. I would love this book to gain some insight into starting a blog.
I have been following John almost from the beginning of the blog. His insights are CREDIBLE coming from source who knows what he’s talking about and INCREDIBLE in results that come from using them. He has a servant heart which shows both on his blog and in person when you meet him. I would like to have this resource as both as guide and blue print to which I can come back to.
I’ve kind of gotten stuck with my blogging and need a jump start. Looking forward to this book!
ah man I’d love to get a copy of this, I want to go to the next level!
I’ve been reading John’s blog for a while. He’s the master guru of blogging. I really need this, because I’ve been trying to build a blog, but now I’ve got to hit reboot, because I’ve been going the wrong direction and need to start from scratch. Domain, voice, niche, everything.
Very cool. I didn’t know John created one. Sweet!
Sweet! I’d love a resource.
WINNER!!
I would love to have this book because I am just getting serious with my blog. I am a Pastor from a church near St. Louis and I want to use this blog as a means of communicating/training volunteers/congregants from my church. This book will provide me with the necessary tools to help me have an effective blog! Thanks for consideration!
Could be refreshing my blogging activities! So, that’s why I would like to have a copy.
Your stuff has already been very influential in my blogging. Would love to have this info in one place so that I can gain more traction with my blogs.
I’d love to get in on the giveaway. John is a genius and I love learning from the best!
WINNER!!!
all laid out before me in what looks like to be an easy-to-read and understand format – THAT’S the kind of ebook I like about this stuff….
I want to learn better blogging
I am trying to get a new blog off the ground http://cheapchur.ch – this would help!

I would love this book because I work in a university ministry and have opportunity to influence students around the world. I’ve been trying to figure out how to start a blog effectively by piecing together information. It would be great to have it all in one place.
WINNER!!!!

WINNER!!!!!
Thank you. How do we go about getting the prize?
Should be in your inbox shortly …
I would like to start a blog but do not know the first thing about it. I’ve been reading yours and several others and truly enjoy them. I’ve also read your book on the New Media and am so pleased to see the Church and numerous Christians who are reaching out to the secular community.
I am very new to blogging and I’m only now having exposure to various different blogs. I feel I would benefit from this resource as it would give me a better direction, ideas and interest to help me get the most out of my blogging. I travel overseas in less than 3 weeks and plan to use my blog so everyone at home can keep up with what I do. Also would like to ad, church mag is awesome and very informative, thankyou!
