30 Day Blogging Challenge -- Are YOU In?

As you know, I'm a HUGE fan of action in your business.

30 Day Blogging Challenges are a great way to get in the habit of doing one ordinary thing each and every day which moves your business forward.

Like the money game where you start with a dollar and double it daily, posting daily on your blog will soon bring exponential results.

The rules are simple:

• your first and last name must appear somewhere on your blog
• you must write at least 100 words for each post -- you can write a review of something, show a video, write a fresh new article, repurpose a teleseminar recording by posting the main points...whatever you feel is appropriate for your audience
• you may skip some days and post several times on others -- as long as you reach 30 posts by the end of the challenge period
• your blog may not contain any offensive or explicit material – my 86-year-old father-in-law and 11-year-old nieces must both be able to read it without being offended in order for you to qualify for the challenge :-)

To keep everything fun and interesting, there will be gifts awarded throughout the Challenge to those who have posted consistently.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter (@SandraMartini) and include the hashtag #30dayblog to follow the conversation during the next 30 days.

Here are the details:

The 30 Day Blogging Challenge officially begins at midnight on September 9th and ends at 11:59pm on October 8th.

Everyone who posts at least 30 times during this timeframe will receive a special gift and have their name and site promoted on my blog.  You can start anytime during the Challenge period.

Want to join in the fun and be eligible for the special gifts?

Just post your name and blog URL in a comment below and start blogging! :-)

I've been posting a quote and a scripture every day, and was posting an article of some sort every day until a couple of weeks ago when I slowed down. I'll join in the challenge to get back at it again.

Count me in. My excuse was going to be that I am doing a lot of traveling this month BUT you made it easier by allowing us to equal 30 posts total, and to skip days and double up on others. So... I am in!

[Joan Celebi]

I'm ready! My blog posts tend to be too long, so the 30 days/30 posts will help me keep them short and sweet!
I hope!

Welcome everyone!

The biggest prize that we'll all enjoy from this is that we will have set a new routine (after all, "they" say it takes 21 days until a new habit becomes a routine)of posting to our blogs more than once or twice a week.

Well, that and all the exposure of course. :-)

[Tammy]

This is a pretty cool idea- I am in. :)
I run three blogs- for clients.
So it is ninety for me- hmmm...I better get crackin'.

Hi Sandy:

So glad to be a part of this challenge, I have started a new business and have been in the 1-2 posts a week category. This is a wonderful way to motivate and educate about the importance & value of blogging! I'm in!
