With the next blog challenge right around the corner – we start on June 1 – I thought I’d give you some ideas for making this one as productive as possible. My friend and colleague Dr. Jeanette Cates is hosting the blog challenge this time, and she has gone all out to make sure you have an experience that will build your business, connect you with new prospects, friends, and joint venture partners, and help you to launch your online business in a way that will make your summer more profitable than ever.
The first thing you’ll want to do is to sign up at the member’s area where she has created something that has never been done before. If you are already a part of her Incubator program – this is the $47 per month program where you have 24/7 access to all of her training and I hold a webinar each week to answer questions and guide you through each module – then there is a separate area for you to sign in. You will be able to include all of your information, as well as being able to present an offer to those who visit the site.
Thinking of ideas for 30 blog posts can also be a challenge, so here are some ways to come up with good content to share on your blog. This is a holiday weekend here in the United States this weekend, so my recommendation is to write a few posts this weekend, advance date them so they will appear next week, and then you will be ahead of the game from the very start. Here are some ideas for finding content for your blog posts:
- Write a post that introduces you to your audience again, even if you already have regular readers. Tell us more about who you are, what you have to offer online, and what you want to accomplish during this blog challenge.
- Take a look at your oldest blog posts and update them. I do this about once a month, and it has been excellent for my page rank and traffic. I find an old post and rewrite it with a new spin. Then I include a link in the new post to the original post so that readers can have easy access to even more information.
- Read other blogs and get ideas for topic that you might not have thought about before.
- Ask people on Twitter what information they would like to have on your topic. Do some research and write the post, and then tweet it to let people know that you answered their questions. This will connect you with even more people.
- Repurpose a short report or other writing you have done.
- Use some public domain content to create new posts.
- Take a current event and make it relevant to your niche topic
These are just a few ways to make this blog challenge the best one ever for your business. What can I do to make this the best possible experience for you next month?

Hi Connie,
Thanks for the great tips on staying ahead of the #blog30 challenge. I’m excited about this! After completing the last one and realizing the wonderful people I met and stepping up my blog… I wouldn’t miss this one for the world.
I’m also inviting people I know to come join us even though they are already well established I think it’s a great way to renew your commitment to blogging and make new connections.
Best wishes to you and Jeanette! Thank you both for being so supportive and helpful!
I, too, am excited about starting again. Other than last week, when I was out of internet and cell range, I have continued to blog most every day. It was just a great habit to get into and I can thank your blog challenge for that! I am looking forward to meeting even more people and who knows where it might all lead? Wonderful , indeed…
Fondly,
Jeanne
I’m finally ready to “accept” this 30 day blog challenge! I look forward to writing each day and putting my ideas out there. I believe this is a great “exercise” to discipline us to write. Thanks!
Oh boy, I hope to join you all again and be able to keep up. I’m working out of town, teaching online nutrition class and in your Affiliate Marketing class.
This time I want to do short videos to answer diet and nutrition questions from my visitors. Now I said it so I have to do it.
I have to learn how first! Looks like my weekend will be busy!
I’m looking forward to another 30 day blog challenge. The last one was great – in addition to the boost in my blog visitors, I met lots of fantastic people.
I will definitely be working on a few posts this weekend to start the challenge with a “buffer”.
Thanks so much for the idea-sparkers. I’ll use most of them. Public domain stuff likely won’t apply to blogging, per se, but could apply to marketing, so I might get some use there. I’m shifting from my knitting blog to my home business blog this time. It’s in desperate need of some love.
Thank goodness for the holiday weekend. Hope to get a major jump start. See you there!
Thanks for these suggestions, Connie. Getting ahead of the start date is an excellent idea as it will take some pressure off the first few days. I plan to write posts in a way that at the end I can compile everything together in an e-book so I need to take your recommendation to heart and get started. Thanks!
These are terrific Connie. you’ve given me some great ideas to expand my plan for this 30 days to make additional posts to see how i can serve more people. I’m so glad you started this – it’s made all the difference in my world and i am not kidding.

Thanks to everyone for your comments. This last
challenge was very meaningful for me as well.

Connie:
Thank you as always for the great tips and information about the 30 day blog challenge.
I told myself the next time you have the challenge, I will be ready even though it seems the challenge has returned earlier than I had anticipated. Well, ready or not I will definitely give it my best shot! Thanks Connie for putting this together so we can all benefit.
Enjoy your Memorial weekend!
Sandra
Hi Connie,
My math was off for the last 30 day challenge and I was 5 posts short! But here I am again. The daily posts really do make a difference in the number of readers. Thanks for this opportunity again.
Kathryn
Yup, I plan on doing this one again! Ready to get started tomorrow! Whoo Hoo!
