Keeping pace with your blog posts? Blogger Bugger arrives

Inspiration lacking on your periodic blogging?

Wish you had a buddy to bug you?

Need a nudge now and then to get the pen flowing?

Got writer’s block?

BLOGGER BUGGER is here to help!

A new service bugs bloggers to keep the bits flowing on their social media marketing communications. All authors at one time or another suffer from writer’s block. Sometimes, we need a kick in the butt or a new idea to get us inspired. Just like your publisher bugging you in the print world, now there is an online service for those 21st century author/publishers. The Blogger Bugger service is just the ticket to keep you posting on a timely basis.

Expanding your audience

Blogger Bugger subscribers receive regular reminders on getting their blogs “to press” or on-line as the case may be. Once signed up you become a Bugged Blogger. Your posts are republished on the Blogger Bugger Blog for additional exposure. Bugged Bloggers get weekly and monthly reminders (sent right to your Outlook) about their upcoming deadlines. If you post on time, you get BUG GUTS instead of a creepy reminder email. Either way, each communication receives a friendly tip from the world of on-line publishing.

What do I get?

Blogger Bugger monitors your tweets and facebook posts on a weekly basis for updates about your monthly blog topic.

Blogger Bugger monitors your blog and sends reminders when it is time to post an update. If you meet the on-line publish date on time you get a friendly atta-boy, the BUG GUTS.

In each communication you get a timely tip from the on-line, world-wide social media community to inspire your next posts.

Sign up for a month at a time

When you feel you have the self determination to keep on schedule you can drop your subscription at any time.

TPM Technologies is offering this service for lept Like A Blog customers to establish the momentum for timely and self-energizing blog posting.

BLOG ON and email Blogger Bugger to get “BUGGED” on your blog today!
